Pokémonsince its invention as a card game, to its transition to animated series and finally its arrival in video games, has raised a large number of fans, who seek to collect every last character in the pokedex from each different region.
While this is common and video game can be completed relatively quickly, searching for all the variants of the pokemones This makes the titles stretch into hours of gameplay, but two decades might seem like an exaggeration, although not for everyone.
The user recognized by his pseudonym Wolfmanohachieved a practically impossible challenge, which is called Living Shiny Pokedexwhich consists of collecting and storing at least one copy Shiny (name given to the pokemones in their alternative versions to the normal ones) of each of the 1,070 species pokémon what’s in the franchise.
The story was shared by himself in the red social Reddit with the franchise’s fan community: “Finally. After playing Pokémon “for 23 years,” he wrote as the title of the video he posted, in which he shows his achievement for 29 seconds.
“After 65 raids, I have managed to Pheromosa Shiny. That was the last species I needed to complete my Living Shiny PokedexI have been playing Pokémon since I was five years old and I started hunting shinies since I was five. Diamante, Perla y Platinum were released (in 2006).
“I’m still trying to get all the forms (of Pokémon like Furfrou), but for all intents and purposes I already have all the Shiny Pokémon,” the player said.
But not everything is what it seems, as these types of stories are questioned, since the members of these communities themselves say that hacking the game is “relatively easy” to obtain these alternative versions of the creatures in one fell swoop, which is why he was questioned in the comments.
However, Wolfmanoh claims to have played the title for “tens of thousands of hours” and that the only “cheat” he used was transferring a few creatures from Pokémon GO,
an augmented reality version, where they are a little easier to get.
AN EVEN MORE COMPLICATED HUNT
But despite the almost impossible task that this player managed to complete, there is an even more complicated Pokémon, called Manaphy, which is needed in all the Living Shiny Pokedexwhich exist, since the extreme rarity of this specimen to be caught is known by the community, which is why it is considered the only exception to have the achievement.
Pokémon was originally a video game created by Satoshi Tajiri and published by Nintendo for the console Game Boy in 1996 in Japan, which gained great popularity among gamers of that time, which led to its release in other markets almost three years later, to gain popularity worldwide.
