Pokémon Stadium 2 Shiny Hunting: Explained - Tama Hiroka

Do you also like video games a normal amount? Maybe you want the shirt I'm wearing in today's video? Fear not my friends, I have it covered: teespring.com/i-like-video-games-a-normal-am 👀 I have been implored to add a correction to this video. Early on, I say that gift Pokemon have DV's that are set to a certain range and are more likely to be shiny. The reason I believed this was that in my own now 999 hour play through, every single gift Pokemon in the game was shiny within an hour of resets, whereas non-gift event Pokemon on the over world would consistently take months of resets. I assumed that this pattern was too consistent to be a coincidence, and that perhaps it gift Pokemon in Crystal worked the same way as the Odd Egg or something. There's also plenty about these games that has yet to be well documented so I figured maybe this was just one of those things. Well I have been told now that this is not likely to be true. So I'm just posting this to clear up any confusion and explain why I said what I said. I never intentionally set out to spread misinformation but as I mentioned in the video itself I am occasionally an ignoramus and am just wrong about things

This is the exact kind of thing that is impossible to explain to people when they ask what games i play

The only great thing about 2020 is Tama's uploading a crap ton of great content.

"I am 3 years into this very long Pokémon Crystal playthrough!" Oh my, I hope that save battery doesn't die >.>

Been watching you since I was 11 or 12 years old and been a fan ever since. I'm 21 years old now so seeing a notif of a new video in your channel always brings me a wave of nostalgia! Thank you for the content then and now. Much love from the Philippines and keep up the amazing content!

ADHD impulses be like: We had homework? Sorry, I was too busy figuring out how egg colors work in relation to rare, different colored Pokémon in Pokémon Stadium 2 for the Nintendo 64. Awefully specific? Yes. Useful? Not really. Necessary to get on with my life? HECK YES!

It really makes me want Stadium and stadium 2 released on the Switch’s virtual console with wireless compatibility with the Pokémon VC games. I feel like it would have made these more hidden methods of shiny hunting more accessible to more players as well as providing an avenue to send those shinies to your modern games. Without the stadium titles, the Gen 1 and 2 experiences feel incomplete

I love this video. 2 derps coming together to finish a puzzle nobody knew existed, 19 years later!

A 3 year playthrough of gen 2? That's really impressive! People like yourself will keep these amazing childhood games alive forever

Ash: “I wanna be a Pokémon master!” Joy: “I wanna be a Pokemon nurse!” Brock: “I want to breeeeeeeeeddddd.”

This is the kind of information and content that I find ENDLESSLY fascinating.

I never throw away any of my games/consoles, including N64 and Stadium 2 with most of Round 2 beat, I have working cartridges of Gold, Silver and Crystal, and I’m insane enough to want to use this knowledge. This video was practically tailor-made for me 😁

You know, it's funny that they never brought back the hue system since it was pretty clearly made to make your Pokémon feel like an individual. You'd think they'd want to have that feature return, especially after introducing mechanics like Amie, which were aimed specifically at building a bond with your individual Pokémon.

When the Pokemon games were released on the Virtual Console on the 3DS I hoped that they would release Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2 respectively alongside them; even on the 3DS to easily connect with the games on your system. I think it would of been great as the Stadium games are great companions to the Gameboy games especially with the specific things you can do in Stadium One and Two. Your videos made me want to go back and play them on their original hardware to experience them. As a kid I nicknamed my Pokémon and seeing different colors had me puzzled but it was cool to learn why. Anyways I’ve said a lot but thanks for posting these vids it’s been great watching them and feeling like a kid again playing Red and Crystal!

Omg I love how many uploads you have been putting up!!! You are always making my day <3

I’ve always loved Gen 2, but it wasn’t until I watched your GSC review that I decided to pick up a copy of Stadium 2 with a transfer pack on eBay. Shiny hunting adds on to the already hundreds of hours of content from these games, and as always the Gen 2 videos are much appreciated!

I, too, like video games a normal amount. At least that's what I tell myself... 😢

As someone who never had an N64, Stadium stuff is so fascinating to me. This was super cool and informative! Good luck on your 100% run, and I hope you get all those shinies soon!

Omg I haven’t seen a video from you in like 10+ years! Talk about a blast from the past

If I have learn something about shiny hunting on all these years, is that "too much effort" is not good enough
