My BRUTAL Safari Week... [Safari Week 2024 Highlights!]

Are you able to trade your pokemon off of your Leaf green from your 3ds?

new gen3hunter let's go

Progression to the mean, hopefully next year doesn't hit you this hard!

absolutely no shame in using the 3ds. i did the same! more systems = more shinies (in theory)!!!!

For the love of pokemon just throw the ball, its chansey.

been anticipating this upload and its finally here!🎉

Oh man, that was rough, I'm with you, it'll all regress to the mean, good luck with your new emerald copies

I saw two shiny Chansey this safari week, my second and third one overall. I tried using the bait strat. on the first one but it fled first turn. When I saw the second Chansey, I was frustrated with the prior one and just threw a ball first turn, and caught it! I’ve no doubt you’ll catch the next Chansey followed by the next Safari rare you find. Good luck on all the hunts! 💫

Glad to see you back in the saddle Mike! Sorry for such a tough Safari Week, but next year is DEFINITELY the year for Chansey!

shiny in safari zone fleeing D:

12 systems is crazy haha. If anyone deserves the shiny Chansey it's you.

what a kick in the nads

I'd probably wouldn't bother bait tbh
Hope your next one will be better x

I failed a 5% Shiny Heracross on Sapphire this safari week. Definitely a bittersweet week for us all.

Failure is just a stepping stone to success. Stay positive, learn from your experiences, and keep moving forward. You're capable of great things!

Sorry babe, I can’t come to bed. Gen3Hunter posted a new video.

GOT MY FIRST SAFARI SHINY THIS TIME! SHINY GIRAFARIG IN HG ❤ AWESOME VIDEO PER USUAL

My heart sank when the Chansey clip transitioned and I saw the number go to 36,000. Man that stinks

Found a shiny scyther and it ran away, i don’t know why i didn’t think of creating a save state 😭

Its hard to like a video like this but..... for the algorithm mike , for the algorithm.

The GOAT has returned!!

Brutal is an understatement!!! Next safari week you’re gonna find 20 once it regresses to the mean!

Can I say I participated? I just wanted to catch Chansey and Tauros in general, but I still haven't caught them...

About time you return ❤

Bro wtf man frl frl frl you got it bro 🎉❤

Legendary

This year I finally got an encounter in the Great Marsh, a Skorupi, that ran after one ball. Even though its a little disappointing, I can finally say I failed a shiny during Safari Week. Here's to better luck next year!

damn you werent kidding

Next time you see Chansey ya gotta throw that ball and let fate decide!

why japanese

Hello, Gen3hunter. I would like to know how you achieve so much patience, especially hunts that require thousands of encounters in one day. I’m Shiny hunting a full odds Tangela hunt, which is becoming tedious. Do you have any advice?

Had a similar safari week.

Hell man, with those phases, 2025 better be chalk full of shinies

One of the most painful safari week i've seen, hope the next one will go better !

The math will even it out soon, I just know it!

Sorry for your tough luck this Safari Week Mike! However, at least you got to see another Chansey shine as you mentioned. One of these days the bait strat WILL work and all these fails will make the re-claim that much better!

That's certainly terrible, though your numbers are a bit better then mine in the Great Marsh, in terms of overall captures.
I've only captured 7 out of my 41 phases here, having failed the last 20.

Good luck on your next hunts!!

Love your videos dude keep putting them out

Bad luck sorry for you

Out of curiosity, do you use both 3ds and original ds capture mods for this? Every time I try to use my 2 OG ds and 1 3ds it doesn’t work. The 3ds always either goes black or flashes on the windowed display

What an insanely brutal week! I hope next year treats you better!

That logic of regressing to the mean meaning you're "due" for a short phase isn't actually mathematically accurate. The odds for each phase taking a certain length are independent of any other phase. Over a long enough (infinite) time scale things will regress to the mean, yes, but that's because you're dealing with an infinite number of tries at the odds for the phase length, making the effect any individual phase have no effect what so ever on the whole. A long phase absolutely does not mean that a short phase is due.

I know you probably understand this already and are just making a joke, but I do see people falling into this logical fallacy surprisingly often unfortunately.

Grats on the shiny finds! Got a question, how do your GameCube captures look so good? They look indistinguishable from a ds capcard’s quality

Hey Gen3Hunter! I love your videos. I am currently gen 3 hunting as well. I have two Gameboy sps. One ruining fiery path on sapphire. I am hoping for a shiny torkoal but I will take anything. The second running victory road on fire red. There I am hoping for shiny Onix or marowak but again will take anything. Do you have any advice for me?

found your account and love your videos, my favourite gen is gen 3 as well and i love shiny hunting in it because the sprites look so good. keep it up!

That was a tough video to watch, I believe your next Chansey you find in the safari zone will be the one that catches! It would be an insane milestone too if somehow this hunt goes to 1 million encounters but hopefully you'll get it way before, Best of luck Mike on your other hunts!

Hey Mike, I'm really enjoying your videos, watched nearly all of them by now :) I used to be a shiny hunter back in the days, too (2010-2012), and watching your videos sparked my shiny hunting itch again :D Already got 4 1/8192 again :) I hope you are still hunting today since I really like the way you edit your videos and also your voice :D It's soothing, lol.

Would love to see a new video soon, best of luck in all your hunts!

I think the issue is that you're only encountering Shiny Chansey that have full stomachs
