I Completed the National Pokedex in Pokemon Black 2
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 05. 2024
- Out of all the Pokemon games, the Pokedex in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 are arguably one of the hardest, as you need multiple games spanning multiple generations in order to complete it. But what do you need to do in order to catch them all? I caught the entire National Pokedex in a little over a week, and this is how it went. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

I’ll never get tired of the contrast between professional voice over John and himbo streamer Jon
I'm screaming! This needs wayyyy more likes😂😂
Oh my god he is a himbo
"Himbo" 😭
right lol was watching him for a while and took a break and then came back to one of his videos w his stream clips and i was like … “is this his brother or smthn no way they’re the same person” 😭
Him, reading this comment: "That does NOT bode well"
Love to see more of this crazy B2/W2 quest documented!!!! On the Lucky Power topic, I believe it does work with surfing encounters. According to the Encounter Calculator program by AngefloSH, Lapras goes from 5% to 10% with Lucky Power 1 and 2 & 40% with Lucky Power 3 and above
crazy seeing you here, love your vids too!
PE reeks
edit: PT i mean
*I forget a lot you're homies.
DO THIS BUT SHINY
oh no not another lets go eevee situation
I thought this game shiny locked some pokemon
you don't understand how much time that takes
You’re gonna kill this man with a challenge like that
Problem is... Zekrom and Reshiram.
BABE WAKE UP JOHNSTONE UPLOADED
Absolute W 😂😂
I love the comment section
It’s about me
UwU
@@Everythingrulesit’s about hopes (please get the reference)
I love how this was posted after the all medals in a month video.
Also I'm curious as to what I should've done differently when I completed my B2 National Dex
Well he was doing this during the medal rally video so props to John for taking both on at the same time.
@@lightyagami3492 I mean the medal rally requires the National Dex completion to get it 100%. I feel like I would've released the National Dex part first but honestly knowing Johnstone I'm more so interested in the Medal Rally first so he hit it on the head
@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafantrue would expected it the other way around, but he did say in that vid that he was going to release this video later
@@BARUtubbig oh ok I guess I completely forgot if that's true.
I’m glad I decided to do this last year because I always knew it would be a pain in the butt back when the games came out having to transfer a ton of Pokémon, but it did feel rewarding finally doing it all. It definitely helped I already did it for Gen 4 and had a bunch of Gen 1-4 pokemon (especially legendaries 😅) just sitting around in SoulSilver and was the only reason I did it at all in Gen 5
My plan for this is to complete the national dex in emerald (because that’s basically the hardest national dex to complete) and transfer everything up once I’m done with it to gen 4 and then to 5
Also did this challenge in the last year. We should start a support group
The face turn to the game on the exact music cue of the giant chasm when the bike clipped through the trees was GOLDEN.
I legit just got my Gen 5 living dex done just a little over a month again and this video captured how I felt about certain mons exactly lol
This is almost like a behind the scenes of the medal video, so cool! I love seeing the way you approach problems, and your reactions to finally achieving a single task after hours of trying is always rewarding 😄
Ah, yes, the ghost trees of the Giant Chasm. 😂
As I understand it, it seems Game Freak originally intended to put a Hidden Grotto there, between those specific trees, but decided against it and forgot to remove the programming that allowed the player to walk through them, lol.
still don't know what is up with that one tree tile you can surf on in pokestar studios
that one bewilders me to this very day
When they announced that pokemon bank wouldn't be around forever (very vague shutdown announcement) it reminded me that I never completed the national dex in the pre-3DS games, I'm working on gen 3's and then imma work from there, I'd argue gen 3's is hardest cuz there was no GTS and the amount of hoops you had to go through to get most of the Johto fellas. Either way nice work completing B2W2 dexes, John!
Then you get to the hardest part, the transferring
here's a fun challenge: try to complete all of the pokemon home mobile app challenges. i've been trying it recently and it's pretty fun. they range in difficulty from "withdraw a butterfree", "deposit 30 pikachu" or "trade two version exclusives" to "deposit a venusaur from fire red and leaf green", "deposit a shiny genesect", "get 18 vivillon patterns", and "beat a 7 star raid". you could also complete the ability/move dex which is just to put in at least one pokemon that has each of the abilities/moves in the series.
Back with the series again! Glad to see Black & White 2 games again, It was the first game I actually played and beat (Gold was my first), but was my least favourite game and region until recently, as I didn't really understand Pokemon too much
Was wondering when we would see this video since you mentioned you were doing the national pokedex in your medal rally video. Good to see you finished this John 😊
I've been slowly chipping away at this for well over a year now in my spare time and I'm glad someone else was crazy enough to try it!!
I’m glad this was posted today! Congrats on doing this and the medal challenge!
I’m going to try to make this journey as well! Luckily, I have some past games, but not all of them. I’ll figure it out-
The "Nate catching shiny Haxorus" thumbnail when Nate and shiny Haxorus just became a pair in Pokémon Masters EX... Now that's a lesson in great timing!
Funny how the thumbnail is Nate catching the Nature Preserve Haxorus, considering an event in Pokémon Masters EX featuring Nate with said Haxorus literally JUST came out.
the hard cut ending literally made me wheeze lmao. good job! you're decication and attention span is out of this world!!
I have never completed a national pokedex since I haven't been able to play the games for so long due to money limitations, so this is a fun thing to see!
@@Purple_GojoI guess I'll do that if I ever get a DS, thanks
I've been taking on this challenge for the last few months for the shiny charm and at this point all I need are some starters (bulbasaur, squirtle, all 3 gen 2 starters, and mudkip) and some legendaries (legendary bird trio, legendary beast trio, lugia and ho-oh, the weather trio, latias, and the 3 genies) can't wait to see how john tackles all of the transfer pokemon!
Now do it shiny
Omg, this video just answered a decade old mystery in my household. A long time back my brother found a luvdisc on one of the water routes between Johto and Kanto I believe in Heart Gold, and we saw their area was unknown. So then us kids thought that “area unknown” just meant you had to find out yourself. But then later I realized that wasn’t the case, and thought his game just glitched. I’m just now realizing that he probably had turned on Hoen sounds or something without realizing it did anything. Crazy.
He's back! The myth, the legend, the rock, the stone, the John, the man himself!
YES! Just started my black 2 play through last night and I kept searching if big poppa John had a black 2 video this HITS
Been waiting glad you’re team finished editing it can’t wait to start
Finally something I’ve managed to complete before you!! Though you did it way way faster than I ever could (I started mine in 2020 and went for a living dex)
I wait for the day John does the truly daunting task. Completing the pokemon home pokedex from scratch. That would be an awesome journey
Been waiting for some more content. Love your videos
I was not expecting this challenge to span across that many different games
i really love all the effort you put into these videos!!!
Man, I really needed this today. Things have been rough but your videos are like comfort food. Thank you
Absolutely insanely timely thumbnail for the Pokémon Masters players. Nate nation rise up
He’s just Nate
Isn't that the game with the pokemonmastersex tag on Twitter? 😂
This video fills me with mostalgia for when I did it in White 2 back in 2020, love it 👍
Whenever I see Johnstone on my feed, i know im in for an incredible video that is so time consuming for him
Yo congrats! I actually did this myself about a year or so ago now. Wanted to get the shiny charm and while I’m glad I did it my gosh was it an absolute slog. So many trades and transferring of nines games and restarting HeartGold and SoulSilver to get the starters was a special kind of torture. Congrats again though on the achievement. It’s NOT easy.
I have been working on this dex off and on for soooo long. I've been waiting for you to do something like this so I can get some ideas lol
I like this. I’m a warmish kinda Pokémon fan. Like, I’m warmed up to enjoying Pokémon content, but outside of Snap and Stadium, I have no memories of playing Pokémon as a kid. I know I did on a GameBoy Color, but… 🤷♀️
I’m also unfamiliar with this channel and typically only calm down significantly by rewatching something. This is a great video I decided to click on before bed
Watching Johnstone makes me feel like I’m playing Pokémon with my friends as a kid again 🥹
Loving these throwback vids. 🙏🏽
The very best pokemon master is back with another video. Let's go!!!
When the world needed him most, he returned...with another banger video
Thank you for a great video=) It is nice to see BW2 games once again, they are awesome=)
John always has me running for my day to play Pokémon each upload!
Wow Johnstone os something that I am doing roght now but faster, applaud to you man for these achievements.
watching you walk through the trees in the giant chasm made me chuckle. sometimes i forget that people haven’t seen that 😭
Little did john know the only medals he needed all along were for his content ❤
I did this! It was quite a fun experience and I really enjoyed the reward for it
Did you know they used to call Johnstone the Catching King back in college?
Great video, as always!
Speaking of the Johto Remake safari zone, would you ever consider doing a catch-em-all video for the safari zone in particular?
I used my B2 to help finish my Home living dex and I discovered so many trainers I had never challenged and I thought I had thoroughly played it as a kid so I’m not surprised that you encountered the same thing in your W2 idk what we were doing
i just did a white playthrough and, not even shiny hunting, found a shiny scraggy and a shiny zebstrika in my playthrough. that's never happened to me before. immediately made me love gen 5 even more
I’ve been binge watching all your nuzlocke videos and then bam you up load lucky me
Have been waiting so long for this video
This is my favorite challenge in my favorite Pokémon generation. Me happy; very happy.
Yessss you crazy but we love your dedication! Can you do Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky gummy IQ ranks and exploration team ranks?? Top notch stuff in an amazing game :)
John kicking off December right. Lets go
21:45 You get it for free along with a few other Pokemon like Wobbafet, Meowth etc by in game trading in B2W2 lol. You just have to complete the x transciever quest which you start by collecting the lost one in Nimbasa city.
That thing in the giant chasm is actually a development error that wasn’t fixed, so it’s kinda useful in that regard
22:30 Johnstone you absolute genius!
I had to play 7 games to complete the national dex back then, but man, I'll never forget the satisfaction of receiving the shiny charm.
I did this earlier this year. It was quite the process but so worth it for the shiny charm 😂
Every single John video is a sight for sore eyes, great video as always! But tbh, cannot stop looking at how cute he is 💀
Congrats on the achievement! Black 2 / White 2 are amazing. I’m 6 Pokémon away from completing the National Pokédex in Pearl, after countless years of wanting to and one year of dedicated effort
In my heartgold I’m only missing the glameow line since I lost my pearl 😭😭
I hope you find it soon and can complete the Pokédex! I once lost a Pearl Version and had it resurface awhile later in the car 🤣 No longer have that one but bought Pearl again last year
First!
Edit: Love your channel dude! Any day where we get a new Johnstone video is a good day!
Its so funny u post this today because i picked up a copy of black2 to try the medal challenge
Its a good day when johnstone drops a new vid :)
It’s a good day when a Johnstone video comes out
B/W2 were actually the first games I finished the national dex in! I made it a goal to complete it before X and Y came out in 2013 and I was able to finish it a few days ahead of their release. It was a challenge but I had an old DNS spoofing site to help me get especially difficult pokemon to catch for me like Glameow which is exclusive to Pearl in gens 4 and 5
I’m in the middle of completing the National Dex for Gen 3, and it’s a nightmare, especially if you’re trying to not use the GameCube games.
Doing this requires a minimum of three full playthroughs of Emerald, three full playthroughs of FireRed/LeafGreen, one full playthrough of the other Kanto remake, and partial playthroughs of Ruby and Sapphire. And even after all that, you’d still be missing Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Jirachi, and Deoxys. Add in the GameCube games and you can cut down the replays of Emerald and FireRed/LeafGreen, but you still have to complete Colosseum and XD playthroughs to get Lugia and Ho-Oh.
That might be a fun video idea: complete the Gen III National Dex without using the GameCube games.
Edit: I guess I either inspired John or I predicted the future…
my day has been made knowing johnstone uploaded 🙏
This has reignited my want to play Black 2 again
I remember when I grinded out the national dex in omega ruby. Although mystery trading existed and the new passerby system were there to help get version exclusives and stuff, it was still ~719 pokemon I had to get
Love watching these to fall asleep to
Literally have been trying to do this for months and you do it before I can
Hi! I was wondering where you got that Glaceon neon sign on your wall. It's my favourite Pokémon, so if it's available to purchase somewhere, I might be interested. I'm also planning on completing the national dex in Black 2, so when you released this video I was like "Oh, sweet! A free guide!"
the footage of you playin dream radar is brilliant.
if you're going for full unova dexes (mostly regional but also national), here's some fun tips:
- if you knock out the legendary sword trio before the e4, when they respawn in postgame, their only attacking move is sacred sword. you can wall them with ghost types easy. also, contrary to what johnstone says in the video, they don't actually have adjusted catch rates - they have the standard catch rate of 3 (out of 255) that most legendaries have.
- however, reshiram and zekrom have a catch rate of 45 in gen 5, which is the same as uncommon finds like eevee and pseudolegendaries like deino!
- speaking of the sword trio, cobalion also learns thunder wave via TM (buyable in i think nimbasa city?) and has a ton of resistances on top of being level 65 on respawn (higher than most pokemon in the game)
- dark colored grass has higher leveled pokemon and a chance of doubles, so if you're hunting something, you can slot a fodder pokemon to level up in the second slot while you put your main catching pokemon in the front of your party to clean house.
- n's pokemon are at max friendship when you catch them, so you don't need to catch and friendship grind for a woobat if you're going for n's pokemon as well. (but that's still a 1% encounter so whether it's worth it is up to you)
- if you're going to be transferring pokemon from gen 4 anyway, you may as well just catch a lapras in hgss (union cave fixed encounter) or dppt (the postgame section of victory road) instead of hunting via rippling water. i did just give up
Yippee Johnstone video!! ♥️♥️♥️
Wooooooh oh yeah let’s go
It’s cool seeing this, because White 2 was the first (and probably only) game where I completed the national dex. I remember glameow being the most troublesome to get, because I didn’t own Pearl.
This exact same thing is something I’ll have to account for when I finish, because I also don’t have pearl. From what I’ve heard though, it spawns in a grotto in b2 or w2 while doing a fun fest mission
I think you’re right about that, but those things are also their own can of worms lol. Good luck in your endeavor!
Man I feel your pain with that mewtwo! I have been playing both scarlet and violet to basically 100 percent them and because I don't want to risk fainting a legendary, I just chuck pokeballs till I either catch them or they struggle to death, which has happened twice between the two games 😅
Timer balls are an incredible investment, and I'm sure you've learned this but put your opponent to sleep to gain some extra time before struggling. Also, many of the legendaries respawn if you do certain tasks, so don't worry too much about fainting them; I nearly had a heart attack when okidogi struggled to death but they do respawn after a while.
Omg it’s very time consuming to complete it but thanks to online servers it’s doable and I’m very close 200 plus pokemon thanks for your insight and hope to be able to complete it
The event distribution server actually isn't random, what you get depends on the date of your DS! You can just grab an event, change the date to the next day, grab the next event, change the date, etc. until you have everything (although in B2W2 there are more events than there is space in your Mystery Gift list, so you'll have to clear it out a bit in the middle before going further)
Between this and the shiny emerald stream, seedot's a menace
Alternative title: Doing the Shiny Axorous speedrun
Just found your channel, you just seem so wholesome! definitely sticking around :)
I love the smirk at "Some of them slipped through the cracks"
It was always my dream to complete the national dex since gen 3! And I finally did it legit in White 2 this year. Curious how your journey will compare
Another banger dropped
It's the simplest but most time consuming National Dex to complete since you can get almost everything from Entralink's private server
the madman gets it done again!
I have no idea what happened in the reunions of the development team for this game back in like 2011 but I need it to happen again because I swear this games are so complete, there is just so many things to do, the pokedex is so diverse while the national dex still being hard, lots of extra legendary events, cool places to see and even cool rewards like the shiny dragons and even then you also have pwt and other battle centered post game. The cities feel alive, there sre important npcs here and there, and almost in every town there's a bit something neat to do like a lil store or some trainer and at the end of everything I'm 100% sure that at least a couple medals would still be left to obtain
I just wish scarlet and violet felt like this, cities felt alive, cool extra content both related to pokemon battles and catching as well as just silly content. I know the dlc kinda solves this but even then, it just doesn't feel the same :( i know I have grown up and nostalgia is a very big factor but I'm sure you guys will get me that it just doesnt feel the same
ive been doing this on and off for a few months i have all legendaries and about 2/3s of way done. gen 5 is my favorite gen and when i found the dns trick I knew i could do it. still have to replay black and white to get tornadus thunderous and landourous but itll all be worth it soon
Omg was just rewatching your videos! Please do an ORAS video
How did he connect to get those mystery event pokemon like genesect?
Yay another video
I'm currently doing a professor oak living dex and I hate it having to grind so much.
Our savior has returned
Tfw we probably won't be able to do these sort of things when we finally get gen 5 remakes... If we ever get a full pokedex game again I'm making that my stopping point with the entire series until we get another one. They really got me with the limited pokedex stuff since I ported all my oldies over from Bank without considering what might change since I trusted this franchise to not screw me after 15 years (Crystal - Ultra Moon).
