I Obtained Every Medal in Pokemon Black 2
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 05. 2024
- In Pokemon Black 2, you can receive medals for completing nearly everything that the game has to offer. In total there are 255 medals, and I obtained all of them in a single month. 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 :)

The most astonishing part of the challenge is how John managed to get copies of Black and White 2 for under $50
They're a tax write off for him. But for real though bw2 is like $80-100 which is wild
I just got an emulator on my school pc
This is why I never sold any of my video games after getting fucked over by Gamestop once when I was 10
Yeah, How did he get so many copies! They are like over a $100 , with only a few any lower
i got both for £20 each (albeit B2W2 was £30 and the cashier probably made a mistake, but i said nothing) back in 2018 lol
i also got platinum for £25 from the same place, all complete with manuals etc
Wonder what the local Unova NPCs thought about the main character getting on and off his bike 500 times then immediately checking 20 bins
Simple. They thought the kid had early onset schizophrenia
@@timothywalker4621They live in essentially New York. That's normal.
I mean what do you think about local people either walking back and forth, in circles or just constantly turning around in the same spot 24/7? 😂
I cannot overstate how difficult this really is. My Black 2 save which is going on 11 years old in just a few weeks here has over 600 hours playtime, a complete national dex, join avenue rank 100, and every trainer star, yet I still only have 190 medals. Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment!
Adding my own experience here too! I casually started a new White 2 save file in december 2022 and, i admit i have been doing it slow but as of today its 230 hours long and 191 medals!! (thanks to my other save file which already had a full National Pokedex, it really helped) i know it will be impossible for us to get ALL of them but honestly when i finish the tedious ones and get over 200 medals i will call it a day. Congratulations to you and to John, what an achievement!!
Damn, good job both of you!
well you’re not trying to get them in normal playthroughs. it’s not hard, it’s just time consuming
@@TheAl774well done guys and also. You literally one-upped him with a single medal haha
Don’t stop, try and get them all
Fun fact: The music and jingles that play for the Medal Rally and XTransceiver minigames were made by Teruo Taniguchi. He’s mostly worked on sound effects and jingles for most of his time with the series. However, his big break finally came recently with *all of Team Star’s music in SV!*
Good thing they let him compose full songs, Team Star's music slaps
That’s so cool!
He was playing the long game
Wait, I thought Toby Fox worked on the soundtrack for Scarlet/Violet.
Team Star is at least better than Team Yell and Team Skull, but not by much. Very mid, tbh. At least the Team Star Boss theme is good.
@@zacharylandrum4789 I think they both worked on it. Also disagree, star is WAY better then yell, and skull is only better by like..iunno, 40%? Ish?
For the people who didn't watch it live, one of the best moments not included here was when John was finishing up the boxes and talking about how it was his last chance to naturally get Pokerus as he entered the Pokemon Center.
Naturally, Mr. Medal was there due to the medal for the boxes but John forgot that and jebaited himself into thinking it was the Pokerus medal. You could literally see the hope leave him as the realization hit. It was glorious
Good work here! I hope to get pretty close one day, even if I don't quite do it!
I'll have to ask how you got the Dream World ones! Those are the only ones I haven't figured out, never heard of that software...
My first thought clicking on this video was if you had seen it yet 😂
Can't wait for this collab
The program is called Entralinked, there's not really any public documentation about it yet as it's still kind of early days.
It requires a little bit of Port Forwarding to get it to work, annoyingly it uses the common ports that Xbox & Playstation use so if you've got those mapped you'll have to change them
@@WhiteythereaperThanks, I've been wondering that too!
...oh boy we just extended emile's lp by an episode
I'm here not only to support Chugga Conroy and his metal addiction but also to support another Pokémon Contant creator I enjoy.
its been a solid ten years since ive heard that name my lord
@@The-best-trainerHes still going strong today, you should check out his content again
He must get all the medals
@@The-best-trainerhes playing bw2 rn :) you should check him out again!
Its Chugga A. Conroy
Despite a ton of the medals were tedious grinding things, I think this video shows just the sheer amount of content the developers put into the gen 5 games. They really went above and beyond, and what did we as the fan base do? Kill it ;(
There's a lot of content for sure but a lot of it isn't interesting to do so therefore people don't care for it. Some of it is really tedious
It's a lot of content but can you really say most of it was good content?
@@einweitereruser5580I mean, it's like saying XY had great content because you can get medals by doing 1000 times the same exact thing (tho you can see them yourself, if you connect to bank it will show your medals I have no idea why they did this).
To me, more content is always good, it's all optional anyway, I love that niche stuff, contests, base customization, y'know.
And even if you prefer battling or Pokedex completion B2W2 is still really good, you have (IIRC) three battle facilities, assisting competitive building and bringing back nostalgic characters. (Plus, shiny Pokemon is a pretty good reward although the shiny charms in the newer games are way better)
Except its content that adds nothing to the game.
It still astonishes me that this is the same person who beat Pokemon sun after 48 attempts
Also good job Big Man 👍
Wdym
@@TroxoBRawhile back he streamed himself doing randomized nuzlockes of games and when he got to Sun it took him 48 attempts (at one point he lost a Mega Rayquaza to a destiny bond Koffing lol)
what personal beef do you have with John to bring this up so long after it happened 💀
69 likes 💀
Between chugga using conventions and you using GO Fest for the 30 fun fest participants it fills me with joy to see all the people that still come together for online stuff.
300 hours gameplay?! In a month?! Dude thats like 10 hours a day of playing... Man, the dedication you put into your videos is insane. Fantastic job, this is why every one of your videos is so unique and always a banger!
Or at 15hrs a day it's just 20 days
All these years later and I'm still blown away by the sheer girth of extra content, side missions, mini-games and just....stuff you can do in B2/W2. They really just put anything and everything they could think of to jam-pack those games with features and modes, battles and things to do. It's honestly that much more insulting that the current games we get in the franchise, on superior hardware and higher monetary investment, pale in comparison when it comes to overall content. Gen. 5 has always been my favorite, and your challenge only further cemented that for me, John. Good job on the run 👍
In a way, these are the final Pokémon games lol
@@zyro7756 If you dont count remakes (ORAS) then yes.
Ironically the very next pokemon games they released after B/W2 ( X/Y) were literally the opposite. XY had pretty much no endgame/side content at all. From this point onwards you could literally feel the sheer lazyness of the developers, the games also got more and more soulless. I dont even wanna talk about Gen 8/9.
*girth*
There is a reason why X and Y were so incomplete because they had to make the switch to 3d in a really short time so they had no choice but leave it somewhat empty
The wailord isn't random, it just appears if you go there between 3pm and 5pm.
Also, the gold trainer card triggering that dialogue isn't a mistake, she specifically points out that it's a shining gold trainer card in both BW and B2W2. The highest level of trainer card in these games is the Black and White trainer card, one step above gold.
I'm also fairly close to getting all of the medals, though I'm still a few off, and it's not anywhere near possible currently for me to get the 30 person funfest or 1000 point funfest medals.
(38:58 omg that's my map!)
38:04 John, thank you for the wonderful time you hosted that day in NYC! It was surreal for everyone playing BW2 after all those years. It was so lovely to meet you in person and I got the chance to know amazing people who helped me in more funfest missions later that day. Big congratulations on your medal run!!
This is probably my most favourite video from you John. My Copy of Black 2 is now 11 years old and got around 3k hours of playtime, the time even stopped counting at 1k hours and I still dont have all the medals. The amount of effort you put into this is astonishing... Just the fact that you and the community managed to meet up in NewYork to do the festival missions is insane. I think people wont be able to get this medal ever again. Great work! Guys btw John streams on twitch, check it out!
As someone who was present in John's lives of collecting these medals I must say I really did have a great time hanging out with everyone! Such a cozy atmosphere! :)
It was basically the background noise to my life for an entire month. It was a great time
I have never imagined Black 2 of all games to have this much content crammed into a single cartridge. I didn't even know half of this stuff in this video even existed.
This is why black&white and black&white 2 are one of the best pokemon games ever because there is just sooo much content and soo much stuff to do. Over thousands of hours worth of stuff its so awesome and sucks that they dont do this for the newer gens
Arceus coming down from a dream absolutely killed me
With this video, John has officially reached more patience than Smallant himself
Insane work Mr Stone, i remember going through the medals when i was younger like, "How on earth am i meant to reasonably do this".
This was unironically fun to watch this live especially the type master ones where John walks in so confident and then gets swept.
It's so heartwarming to see other users helping you in your endeavor and even real life people gathering to collect medals together
I had no idea that BW2 was one of the least sold game in the franchise, that floored me. I have a lot of nostalgia for gens 3 and 4, but I was under the impression that it was a pretty universally accepted fact that BW2 are considered the objective peak of the franchise.
Don't tell Chuggaaconroy that you've ALREADY gotten every medal!...
this generation was honestly one of the best in my opinion. the previous titles had all been firmly 2d, little squat character models, and the style of this game thrilled me, the animated 2d sprites and 2.5d overworld was a perfect stylistic middle ground. the world felt rich and interesting, the story felt grand and had human interest for one of the first times in the pokemon series, most of the pokemon designs slapped... just a really good set of games. the medals were a step in the right direction too even if they were way too hard for the vast majority of players (including me). would love to see something like that again someday. pokemon seems like such a natural pick for achievement hunting, given the whole "gotta catch em all" thing
Chuggaaconroy is going to love this video!
Just posted my comment to support his metal addiction
*Sounds of Chuggaa salivating*
I love pokestar studios and I hope when we get Gen 5 sequels/remakes that we can still make movies and hopefully it won't be like how bdsp turned out.
This was actually a lot of fun to watch. Johnstone is the one that got me back into Pokemon after a few years away from it with the Professor Oak Challenges. After watching a few, I decided to do my own. I've since completed 4 of them, and gotten back into this series after thinking I was done with it forever.
39:10 RIP Shellder. If only you hadn’t met Cheryl.
It was a Wednesday towards the end of January. Me, Shellder, and Cheryl decided to go sledding in the Grand Canyon. Between the driving and traffic, we had a lot of fun in our chinese-child powered carriage. Shellder said he really had to go potty, so we pulled over and let him do his business. He's the type to pull his pants all the way down when he pees but he hates it when people look at him. We told him that we'd go off somewhere else so that he could do his business. Cheryl had a devious plan though. As me and Cheryl were walking off so that Shellder could do his thing, she immediately bolted back in the direction of Shellder. I was a little frazzled by her sudden charge so I was slow to react. I chased her through the bushes and as I ran all I heard was a scream. It was Shellder. I quickened my pace praying to God that she didn't do what I thought she did. I made it to the clearing Shellder was at and there she was... wixotolating him. I was too horrified to move.
After it was all over, Shellder shed a single tear. With it's fall, his physical form began to dissipate. He looked at himself withering away, looked up at the grinning Cheryl and said his last words:
Wane beyond the horizon. Trip the waves into the day morn. Sail. These are the writs of God.
I'll miss you dude. I'm sorry I couldn't save you
Man as much as I love gen 5 there is SO MUCH I missed out on by not having other people to play with lol There's so much more in the games than I thought there was
Bro you did not have to flex on Chuggaa like this, I _love_ it.
I remember for the longest time people hated Gen 5 while it was my first Pokémon game so seeing all the love and people replaying B/W-B2/W2 at the moment makes me super happy
I wish pokemon black and white 2 were more popular, they introduced systems and things that even newer gens seem to be lacking in, they felt truly immersive and pushed the limits of the ds insanely.
i mean they're objectively by far the best games
Man there is a stupid amount of content in Black and White 2 that I had no clue about lmao.
Chuggaaconroy would be proud!
I knew Black 2 and White 2 were big games, but I've never new that it was THIS big! I've participated in a lot of events, including when there was a ticket given to the liberty garden to get victini, and even after putting probably 1000h+ on this game, a lot of stuffs were so foreign to me! Overall, it brought a lot of good memories back
I didnt catch as much of this saga live as I would have wanted to, but even so, this has been amazing to watch. It's so cool to hear about how many features these games really had, even the ones that I cant imagine ever partaking in, like the musicals. Every johnstone video reignites my love for pokemon and reminds me how weird and special this franchise really is. Absolutely incredible job, and WOW that dedication
Amazing video!
It's honestly incredible how much side content and unlockable events are in this game. Pokemon White 2 was my first Pokemon game and has been my favorite for over a decade and I didn't even know most of these events were in the game until I watched this video.
Overall, this was really fun to watch and congrats to you for completing this insane challenge ^^
the gen 5 games have so much obscure side content that most people would never even come across
We now always complain about the clear lack of content in modern games, but in the older ones, when we used to get content, much of it remains untouched by players for months to whopping years, like Pokestar, Musicals, minigames etc.
ain’t nobody use those dream features 😭 @@lipika2841
watching this while also watching chuggaaconry makes me happy
Chuggaaconroy:"Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!"
Emile watching this video: DUDE HOWWWW!
22:49 I'm pretty sure if both parties end up fainting, the game counts the last Pokemon standing as the "winner." Since Scizor fainted after Klingklang, that makes John the winner over Liza.
The Games Considers A Tie As A Lose For The Player
@@spongefan155 True, though I believe that's in the case of Explosion or Destiny Bond; but I think John's case was one of those special ones? I remember this being introduced either this gen or gen 4
I rarely comment on anything, but this is an astonishingly amazing achievement. I am also one of those guys that magically got pokerus naturally. Sadly did not complete the medal rally though. That's insane.
John!!! These videos keep getting better. As one of my favorite Pokemon Content Creators, it was so awesome meeting you and taking part in the Funfest mission! I truly can't express enough how genuinely nice and chill you are in person! Thanks again for restarting the funfest mission for me and for hosting it in general. Definitely will be a memory I will not forget. Congratulations on another journey completed with maximum effort. You did the thing dude! Can't wait for the next adventures!
Congratulations on this monumental achievement! I didn’t think it could get crazier than the Prof Oak challenges and yet here we are! That meetup in NYC will honestly be one of my fondest memories as a Pokémon fan.
Dude this is insane. I grew up with gen 5 and yet this video showed me so many things I’ve never seen of it before. I did not know about the minigames, and I was blown away at the option to switch between white Forrest and black city
Seeing this, Black and White 2 were really the peak of the series, huh? Awesome video, had totally forgotten that this was even a thing.
Cannot stress how happy it makes me seeing your videos pop up, it's like an event that I can't wait to dive into.
The perfect content to consume podcast-style when doing housework.
Also the Medals gave me Trophy/Achievement hunting vibes and it is CRIMINAL that we've never had anything like it since.
Great video 🤝👑
What do you mean? Don't they still make Trophy Hunter stuff?
Chuggaaconroy would be so proud
New Johnstone video!! I love your videos so much, thank you for the time and care you put into them. Ordered my hoodie! Well done on the medal run - I'm always amazed by your patience in these.
“A sweet heart is not worth 47,000 Pokémon money”
Okay Smallant, I’m waiting for the “Pokémon, but Inflation is out of control” challenge run.
All the effort and passion that went into this one video.
Kudos to you man! You have my respect!
This was so fun to watch, an entire month of Johnstone streaming and collecting medals was a big adventure!
2:40 "The most skipped aspect of any Pokemon game"
Woa woa woa, there will be no Pokestar Studio slander here, easily one of my favorite modes
Between John and Chuggaaconroy, 2023 might be the most anyone has ever cared about BW2 in history ... I'm here for it
And RTGame
Congratulations, John! This is my favorite Pokémon game (though I've only played through once, when it was new). So it's so awesome to see someone having accomplished this in 2023. I thought those Fun Fest and Dream World ones would be completely inaccessible, but leave it to Pokémon fans to find a way!
i’m so glad nowadays there are more people who appreciate the medals like i do!!! so excited to see creators bringing light to this feature! (also just ordered my hoodie can’t wait to wear it!!) :)))
Black and White 2 had so much content. Thanks for showing us every last drop of it. Black 2 was probably the game I spent the most hours on out of all the series (and I've been playing since Red and Blue) and I was no where near completion 100%.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wanted you to do this since I knew your channel. But more because I wanted to see what the grind was
big congrats on accomplishing this feat!! as one of the medal meetup attendees who is also trying to obtain every medal i’m so happy to have been a part of the momentous occasion of gaining the funfest medals! I’m at 248/255 medals myself, almost done with the grind :)
Man I'm so jealous about the meetup you did to obtain the 1000 points record. Sucks to live on any place but USA lol
Awesome video! Thanks for the content and congrats for 500K! 🎉
Congratulations on 500k!!! You totally deserve way more than that, but its still an insane number! And i respect all of the hard work you put into all of your videos!
SO glad I got to be there for the last few streams, congrats on finishing such an insane challenge!
id love to see an achievement system like this in the newer game. just…maybe not so ridiculously hard
None of them are ridiculously hard, they’re either tedious or have no more online support. Nothing in Pokémon is ridiculously hard
There's so much content in this game that I didn't even know existed. It's so sad this game went underappreciated because of the 3DS's release. New Pokemon games could never...
Great work! I enjoyed watching the streams, and it's so cool that you got to finish it in a month! I'm at 191 now, and was encouraged to pick it up again from where I was after hearing about your Medal Rally! It took me literally 10 years to get the Pokédex medals, because I also forgot to get the diplomas until this summer. :P I can't wait to get the Funfest ones someday, hopefully!
Wow this game has so much more content than I realised. B2W2 are kind of goated ngl
This video is extremely good and very epic. I thoroughly enjoyed it and probably will watch it again 17 times on 30 different devices at the same time : )
Thanks for reminding me how good these games are, they have soooo much content to do, they just don't do pokemon games like these anymore
I've been hoping for a video about the Medals in gen 5 for a long time, and this was phenomenal! I didn't know there were so many, or that so many of the requirements to get them were so different from what I remember. I thought the trash can one was for checking every trash can in the region, not just for checking any to a certain number, for example.
I'm also baffled to learn there were more in later games that I never, EVER remembered being there! I can't wait for the follow up video! But thank you for covering one of my favorite obscure Pokemon topics. I'm really hoping they bring a feature like this back in the new games someday, it was a ton of nostalgic fun to remember all of these!
Have you ever heard the definition of insanity?
Me: Yes I'm subscribed to Johnstone
Can‘t wait for the video were he does all of the Pokemon Go medals. Love you John
Thats quite super impressive. GG ! I never really bothered to get more than 150 medals even if i complete the pokedex, pokewood and everything else... You give me motivation, i'll try to go for the max possible i can do ^^
I've been waiting for a new video ! Love your content, especially to play in the background while chilling.
The daily streams made my summer so much more enjoyable.
I like the fact he uses actual hardware for most of his challenges. Too many people use emulator and speed up just to pump out content faster and it sucks
OMG ITS OUT! I was at so many of these streams and they were so fun. Im really happy to see this!
Thanks for dropping an upload at the perfect time I’ve been having a crummy day and this made me smile. Looking forward to that ORAS video lol
chuggaconroy approves 👍
It was such a blast to get to meet in person in NY to play some pokemon together. I never got to make any memories with the local multiplayer features in those games as a kid, but being able to experience them now is such a great new memory to have
Don't diss my boy Pokestars Studios, it was my favorite mechanic as a kid. I spent hours on that thing, it's all I cared about. F-00 made me cry.
Well, definitely gotta subscribe. The sheer dedication in 100%ing this game in an entire month demands it
I tried doing this challenge on my own last year, but stopped because I thought I couldn't get the dream world and passerby medals. now that I know there are workarounds I'm gonna finally complete this!!!
do you know where to find the stuff/tutorial for the work around?
HALF A MILLION BABY 🔥
"This is the mafia?" Might be the most dissapointed sass ive ever heard
In the wise words of Chuggaconroy: “MEDALS!!!”
now i wanna see if it's possible to beat this game with as few medals as possible-
Really makes you think about how little content there is in the newer pokemon games by comparison, honestly. this is such a fun vid and I wish the newer games had these kinds of challenges to work on!
I've wanted to see a video like this for years. I'm so happy it's here!
This is the most insane Pokemon related thing I've ever seen anyone do. Congrats on doing what (I think) genuinely is the most IMPOSSIBLE Pokemon task in any of the games.
Wonder how long before we see Chuggaaconroy in the comments
Proud of you John this was an insane job
Been waiting for you to do this! :)
Wow huge respect and congrats. Could never go through such tedious tasks. Comedy was especially on point in this video
Shouldn’t Nate be in the thumbnail and not Hubert if it’s BW2
Great work man! I loved the streams for this video
I haven't even watched this yet, but thank you for making me realize my memory of getting a metal for checking every trash bin in HG/SS was actually in B2/W2 X'D
This is insanely tedious, this is like completing 1000% the game. Congrats man, I never even tried to complete this. This was probably one of the most neat things they added from gen4
Congratulations on 500K Subscribers, another half a million to go! Love your content!!!
