What happens when you try to softlock yourself against one of the first trainers in the game?

What they needed was preventing you from releasing a pokemon if you only had 2
I am apathetic JK
I didnt realize earlier that you have used Phoenix Wright music. I see you are a man of culture as well. 🙂
With Sand Attack in play here, couldn’t the opponent miss Struggle and take recoil damage? Does Struggle not check for accuracy? Do they not take recoil damage if they miss?
you just have to catch a pokemon when it has 1hp
Since this soft lock was done on Pokemon Sapphire there still is one way to get out of this soft lock. If you have Pokemon Colosseum for Game Cube you could set it up where you would receive Jirachi. Then you'd have the ability to get past the youngster trainer. However, this soft lock pick method does only work for Ruby and Sapphire and not Emerald. So if you would have done all of the other steps in this soft lock on Emerald there wouldn't be a way to undue this soft lock other than start a new game.
Jus why tho
What about getting Shedinja to Oras through Pokémon Bank? You don’t have to trade for that, you just need the PC
another thing you could do is get the WishMaker jirachi (with the colosseum bonus disc) and release it. then you'd really be screwed
10 minutes, to krill a zigzagoon, it takes 10sec
Thank god this is difficult
You should do the “ones that can happen on accident,” that you mentioned!
Finally someone uses Sapphire!!
Holy shit did I overlook the fact that you get 2 Pokemons from evolving it? How did I not know this
Does struggling ignore accuracy loss?
9:07 I 100% thought I was softlocked in the roller coaster gym in Black 2
allowing you to release your second pokemon is the actual issue.
Shedinja uses False Swife to restore equality.
Why false swipe? Why not another useless stat move
Steps:
1. Play until Route 116 on one save file (Ruby or Sapphire)
2. Catch Nincada.
3. Train Nincada to Level 25 and delay evolution to learn moves that can’t knock out Pokemon.
4. Get your second game.
5. Play until you get the Pokedex and 2 Pokemon.
6. Remove items after getting all items possible at that point.
7. Trade the Shedninja to the 2nd game.
8. Release all Pokemon except Shedninja.
9. Save the game.
To think all this could have been avoided if GF didn’t let you release a Pokémon if you only have 2 remaining.
I thought you could catch nincada in petalburg forest? Is that emerald only
Lock picking lawyer has transcended
False Swipe can be the most powerful move when catching specific Pokemon and also the worse move.
I feel like this is even worse than Bug Catcher simulator, you can't even loose properly.
Probably the best softlock ever, at least in Pokemon. Unlike a level 5 Magikarp or level 3 Caterpie, both of which just get KO'd by anything they see, Shedinja can't even do that right. It has to put up a hopeless fight first. The ultimate purgatory.
Was thinking maybe Pokemon box could trade something in, but that requires filling a portion of the dex before it will let you withdraw.
What in the world is the point of this? 😂
Is Gen 1 2 and 3 the only games he dives into for pokemon? He just desp dives these games that hard? Why not try some of the newer games for softlocking?
So… is it possible to pick this?
Do you have to trade him tho? Wouldn't you get stuck on any trainer you fight?
Playing pokemon on normal speed is like playing on slow motion change my mind
Here's what I dont get, how could you softlock yourself if they allowed you to trade with only 1 pokemon?
Wtf is the point of a soft lock? I mean why?
What's the point of a complete soft lock? Why do people want to make them?
I don’t know how I got here but I’m pleased.
As soon as I heard False Swipe I knew exactly where this was going and I love it.
Its pronounced like cicada
“I wanna be the very worst, like nobody in their right mind ever was”
“To trash save files is my real test, to escape them is my cause”
“I will travel through every gen, soft locking far and wide”
“Teach Pokemon to understand in my brain there’s nothing inside”
“Save files! Gotta ruin them all (even more than 3). I know it’s my destiny!”
“Trash save files! Oh, here is the end. This save file needs a mend.”
“Trash save files! Gotta trash them all (freshly trashed for you). Our dumbness will not give us much else to do.
“You help me and I’ll release you. Trash save files!”
“Gotta trash them all (gotta trash them all)”
“Trash save files!”

asprey has bias towards kyogre confirmed?????1?1??1
Couldn't you drain your pp and then use struggle on the Zigzagoon? Struggle would kill Shedinga but the trainer would be beaten.
Pretty funny they could have fixed all of these easily by removing the ability to toss items.
I loved the ace attorney music in the background
Genuinely insane take at the end that it's a failing of gamefreak not to have found this softlock and patched it out. Unintentional softlocks are the problem, you'd never do this in 1000 years unless you meant to and it has basically zero consequence
Does struggle always hit? Couldn't sand attack protect shedinja from a struggle?
2:47 that music caught me off guard. Cross Examination music from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice for All!
the only way i see nintendo actualy fixing situations like these is if they would just make forgotten moves go into a list which is accesible at all times so you can edit ur moves on the fly to what ur situation needs would also give the games a lot more depth at the same time in my honest opinion because instead of grinding levels to beat certain challenges the game throws at you you could for example maybe just edit some of your pokemons moves and get by it trough that
