First playthrough of the Pokemon Game I made - Part 21
After years of admiring the Pokemon Rom Hack and Fan game scenes, I decided to make my own with a focus on all the things I wish the others did differently.
The main focuses of it are:
Challenge
Collection
Replayability and Challenge/Speedrun Potential
Nostalgia
and a story that wraps in the Pokemon world with concepts I enjoy in other media.

Is Japanese 151 the Best Pokemon TCG Purchase? - 151 Booster Box Opening and Unboxing Review

After essentially losing all possibility at getting English Scarlet and Violet 151, I decided to just buy the rest of the singles I wanted. I still have the itch to open the set though, so when I learned about the Master Ball gimmick and the fact that you always get one with every booster box in Japan, I figured I'd try it out.

Opening my First Pokemon TCG Box from Ebay - 151 Binder Collection Opening and Unboxing Review
thank you so much man
Glad it can still help all these years later!
Three solid packs from the same box is crazy luck
Ya this was one of the best products I have ever opened tbh.
Even if you hit the master ball early there’s still hope you can still pull Charizard or a God Pack
Yup, I really like this concept tbh. I wish the english boxes were like this! I may continue to invest in these but we will see what happens as we get closer to the holidays.
Why it is saying item not found
Likely because you did it wrong.
any tips on how to avoid. fake cards in slabs?
Only thing I can say for sure is buy from reputable sources. PSA slabs have watermarks and tracking on their website too so you can cross reference all that. Although its not impossible to just print that on a fake label either.
Dope video, I'm a huge fan of the Japanese sets. Hope you are doing well man.
Thanks, this one seems like a fun thing to open!
Not lipouts and the spin thats cause your not clipping it you chunking it
huh?
God damn this is aging
Ya this is outdated. I don't recommend these weak auras any more.
151 is so cool i love it!
Its absolutely amazing!
PSA looks scuffed. I heard this of almost all the grading companies though. Send them in again and you get different results. Considered sending my Magic cards in to another company, but after seeing this, I definitely wont. Worst part is that there is no reason given for those numbers. Can't be that hard to send a certificate with the exact ratings for each criteria... But what do I know about transparency, right?
Ya sadly, they are able to get away with it because of how popular they are. There are companies that do give full transparency. But I believe it can swing both good and bad so from the seller's perspective its not the end of the world.
Hi there, the lady in the Pokemon Center ( 23:39 ) gives infinite amount of rare candy, is this a bug ?
Hmm absolutely a bug haha. But rare candies are basically a currency so all the bug does is save you some time!
@@acegamestv ohh ok thanks for the reply
What does the Call option in the battles do?
I believe it increases the accuracy of Pokemon by one stage. Can't remember for sure. I almost never use it.
@@acegamestv Cool I haven't tried the game yet (have 2 others to finish first) but thats a cool option if thats what it does
Awesome to see another fan game out there. Had a good laugh at you struggling to choose your starter Pokemon, this was me after starting Project Vanguard the other day and I'm still questioning my choice. Will be watching through the rest of this series for sure.
Glad to hear, hope you enjoy it! The starter room was a difficult deliberation when I made it and I wanted it to be perfect for the idea of being able to do a mono-run of every type.
@@acegamestv Enoying both Vanguard and watching you play through this, will have to join your discord soon to request a copy to have a go. Have one other to try before this though.
Baby shineys there called….its a really nice set iv just mastered it
Nice, did you just buy the singles or pull it all from packs? How much did that cost haha
@@acegamestv I went over bored with this set to be honest I would say iv spent around £700 on paldean items and then spent another £300 getting all the cards I don’t have but I really enjoy collecting them so I don’t really mind the money side of it but I make sure I hide it from the wife 😂😂
@@danielvincent8323 Nice, I cant blame you!
can you link the deal?
If you click on any of the cards on the website, it'll show the deal under it
Gamestop has these deals constantly on all different products.
When I bought the ETB my chase card was the Magicarp SIR. I pulled that and the shiny Pikachu. So overall its worth the 45ish $ i spent on the box.
Sounds like you made money! Pretty cool! That's what's keeping me addicted to this tbh. Its like gambling but with a decent chance to make some money back, and a low chance to make more money than you spent. I can see myself producing a lot of content on this channel like that! Still exploring the best ways to finance it and make smart investments.
Thanks for the vid. Its fascinating to look back to check how holy paladin has evolved overtime. 🙂
Haha well I didn't expect people to watch it 11 years later, but I'm glad its enjoyable still!
Hey Metro...finished watching the 14 parts of your self-game. Hope that shows up on your view time. The top down view of the non-combat part of the game (I don't have any previous experience with any released versions) brought back some fond memories of going over to my neighbor's trailer in high school and watching him play Phantasy Star on the Sega Genesis. Not sure what version it was, perhaps the original (I graduated HS in '92, so it was a while back). Still, this one ansd PS are both fun to watch. I've always enjoyed RPG's whether they were MMPO or not. I had a game from ECA called "Legacy of the Ancients" for my Commodore that was similar in nature, but way my primitive...had the wilderness, towns, and the museum where the Innkeeper woukd give you quests. Was an awesome game for way back then. There was a spinoff called "Legend of Blacksilver" which was much the same. Then came Might & Magic Book I...and the rest is history, Literally spent man-days playing that lol. Keep having fun!!
Nice man, I really really appreciate that! Thanks for sharing your story too!
I’ve been buying for my self and future investment one piece psa 10 slabs. Love the art work and the show is fantastic. Very early on for the TCG its self but who knows what the future holds for the Future King of the pirates!
Oh that's cool, I have seen some people selling those for a lot. I know negative about the show and universe though, but sounds fun!
How did you make your own pokemon game?
I talked about it a bit in the first episode. TLDR, RPGmakerXP has a module you can download called Pokemon Essentials, that gives you the framework to create a pokemon game. I basically used Pokemon Reborn as my base though, as I liked a lot of the tech and graphics from it. Then just added and created what I needed! Its easier than it sounds, but a lot of leg work.
I was thinking you were having some bad luck until you hit that Charizard. But you had Awesome luck
Ya, this is still the luckiest I have been in any opening. All downhill from here haha
Started slabbing. Actually, fun process hoping for that 10. But i go with cgc. Psa to me has an ugly ass label
Ya, I agree its not attractive at all. If you are doing it just for personal collection, enjoy! I feel like it would be like collecting dollar bills though. you know how much money you are losing in the process, that you HAVE to eventually regret it right? Even with the ugly slab, PSA ensures the future of these cards might mean you get your money back if not way way more. That to me, is just more valuable, because at the end of the day the CARD is what I look at, not the plastic around it.
151 needs a reprint, these prices suck right now for collectors. Also, Japanese is the way to go for collecting in my opinion. The quality control is a lot higher and the detailing is just amazing. It does make the market more cold due to more supply and higher amount of PSA 10's
That's why I was scouting the 9s or even 8s. If you want raw cards it would be super cheap too. I'd like the reprint myself just so the packs are cheaper and not being scalped. But I bought every card I wanted from the 151 set other than the venusaur and it was all under 500 bucks for graded 9 and higher. Japanese is cool, but I like being able to read the text haha. If I just wanted the art, I could print the images out myself.
@@acegamestv I have a mix match of 151 in Japanese as well as English and I'm kind of upset I did that. I don't enjoy owning multiples of the same card even if the language is different so I have to make a decision if I want to bank on English getting a reprint or if I should just go with the Japanese cards to save money. I've also never bought graded cards personally so I'm not super familiar but you got some good ones there!
@@Lead1121 Cool, well personally I'm english all the way! Good luck!
@@acegamestv I might be switching back to English tbh! Good luck to you too!
the cards that you don't know why it graded 9 and not 10 has to do with the centering, the ditto looked skewed, The sticker on the bag is for inventory and helps keep the bag closed.
The bag is one of those resealable pouches, I have a ton of them. I don't need the sticker, or the bag to stay closed either way. Its already inside a bubble mailer inside paper inside a box lol...
@acegamestv true but they don't know that, it's hard to not do everything a standard way, plus think about it being in storage at their warehouse the bag protects it when they have to move it. You get one customer that complains and it could be a problem for their reputation so I don't think it's about shipping maybe more for their storage and handling. Cool vid though
@@Deadpandemiccomics Well I am in favor of the bag for sure. Just not having to now throw out the bag because of the nonsense sticker on it. No one else ships cards like this, and as you have seen I have purchased a lot.
@acegamestv I get what you're saying. Seems like they were a bigger seller than the rest so it'd make sense to me why they do it that way is all
If you're going to continue buying graded cards for investment then you're definitely better sticking with the big 3 grading companies, PSA, Beckett and CGC. There was a massive influx of new grading companies that popped up after 2020 and the explosion in pokemon collecting. Because of this people lost faith and don't attribute much value to any companies outside of the big three, even though it looks like SGC has been around for a lot longer. Some 10s with smaller grading companies sell for the same amount as you'd buy the card raw. For things like personal collections that's obviously different (I like using Ace grading in the UK for my personal collection because I like their label and slab design), but any card graded by another company you might want to consider cracking it open and submitting it to PSA instead, if the dollars make sense.
interesting, thanks a lot for that insight. Had no idea that there were brand new companies involved. Obviously I see PSA as the best resale value, but I have to say, that SGC card I got is amazing looking. I love it! I will probably try to sell it as is, and if it doesn't go I'll just keep it. Thanks again!
@@acegamestv Yeah, the quality of the grade can be as good or better than PSA (especially with what seems like inconsistent criteria at PSA) but the name of the company is what gives it the most valuable. Some nice bargains in this vid for sure either way!
@@zachosrs9330 Ya, was shocked how readily available good deals are on auctions for graded cards. If it wasn't for the absurd cut Ebay takes you could really just full time flip!
are you gonna add any changes to the pokemon? like types abilities and stuff
Absolutely. I did a full rebalance of every single pokemon playable in the game. For example, I added abilities called "draconic." Its like "steelworker" which was in the vanilla games. Steelworker makes steel type moves effectively STAB, so Draconic is the same with Dragon moves. I gave this as a hidden ability to Charizard for example. So if you have this ability, Charizard has stab on Flying, Fire, and Dragon moves. I also changed a ton of types. For example made Machamp Fighting Rock type. And Blastoise Water Fighting type, Yanmega Bug Dragon, etc.
gen 2 is by far my favorite
I love it too! Gen 1 pokemon are my favorite, but Johto is my favorite region!
this is really cool, but if youre going to make a game like this, you should just make your own ip.
You mean a game that isn't Pokemon? Probably some step you are missing here. Pokemon fan games are very popular and quite common. There are HUNDREDS if not thousands if you include rom-hacks. This is just the one I made, which features exactly what I would like in a Pokemon game. I didn't make a game that is pokemon. I made a version of pokemon that is perfect for me. No interest in making an unique IP.
i was probably going to ask a bunch of dumb questions before noticing this is part 9
Haha well here is the playlist with the full playthrough: ruclips.net/p/PLezAEu8shuO5Y67Cv8R7XCEMfC4C0IGCh If you have any questions though, don't hesitate to ask!
why marowak, not cubone????
Hmm don't remember honestly. I did this for a few starters, like Kingler etc. Basically just wanted to rush the player to the version of the pokemon that is adequately strong to be ready for the first gym. I also changed a lot of the opening routes pokemon so that they evolve ahead of the first gym or two as well, for example.
On that Rhystic study you were doomed from the start, if you look at the black boarder around the card you can clearly see it's way thicker on the left side than it is on the right (You can really immediately notice it when you look at the bottom right corner of the card and then compare it to the bottom left corner) It might even be slightly rotated counter clock wise as you can see in the bottom right the black margin clearly gets thicker left-to-right and the top black margin gets thicker right-to-left
Also the reason Seadra got graded lower is again the boarders, look at your haunter and then look at Seadra; you'll see Seadra's top boarder is way thicker than the bottom boarder; it's a matter of bad setting of the card cutting Atleast it was less bad compared to the Rhystic study's rotation, so i'd imagine that's why it didn't lose more
Ya I didn't really know anything about his process when I sent them in frankly. The magic cards just don't seem to be something worth grading anyway unless they are super old.
Crazy how you can make a game like this while game freak release dull af sword and shield
Ya the people who make the Pokemon games clearly aren't interested in anyone older playing the games. But the fan games out there are ten times better than mine tbh. I just made one specifically for my tastes.
You didn’t play Pokémon damask fan game on game jolt yet
I haven't played a fan game since I started making mine tbh. It has everything I'd want, albeit it's a bit dated in technology at this point. I did give rejuv another try after I learned you can play it on your phone now. But it's so unwieldy it's hard to enjoy it for long.
nice video, you had bad expectations psa is very hard on vintage for one. secondly any whitening like that blastoise on the top is going to drop it to at least a 6. if it has more wear than obvious whitening like that will continue to drop in number. never have expectations on vintage unless its pack fresh. its hard to see with the naked eye. you have to use super bright light just like psa does to get a glance at any of the damage.
Gotcha, I took the advice of some one early on in the process and I guess I got my head up in the clouds. He thought the Blastoise was at least a 7 so I just compared all the other cards to it haha. Ya live and ya learn! They are still selling well even at 5 so it's all good.
That sounds incredible, can't wait to play it, I salute you for your efforts man.
Thanks, if you wanna play it just message me in discord and we can talk! If you like a challenge-first approach with a lot of replayability this will be it!
this is my first time seeing one of your videos, and I'm glad I did! As someone who used to love making video games on RPGMXP and who loves pokemon (particularly the johto region), this feels like it was made for me. Will be keeping an eye on this playthrough !! :D
Awesome, hope you like it! One episode a day for the next few weeks then I need to record more.
always a good idea to get them graded if you like the card itself for the personal collection! makes it look way prettier and it protects the cards fully so you cant damage it anymore accidently. also PSA and all other grading companies are super inconsistent so dont feel bummed out. i had 7s go to 10s with PSA its just luck of the draw with the grader.
Ya I won't really be planning on keeping any of these but I really do like the PSA slabs. My next fascination is to use the money I make from the cards to reinvest into the 151 PSA cards.
curious, if this is a rom hack what’s the base? or is it an essentials game?
I believe I explained that all in the video, but I'll try to summarize. Its not a romhack, first of all. Its a Pokemon fan game, so the base is Pokemon Essentials, which is a module for RPGmakerXP. But my specific game I basically used Pokemon Reborn (probably like episode 14) as a base and just deleted all the content there and made my game and region over the top of it. That's why you'll see some menus and stuff the same between those two games. Lemme know if you have any further questions!
I'm coming along for the ride on this playthrough. Cool stuff!
So glad to hear that! Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our time spent together in Reborn. One episode a day for 14 or so days, then I need to record more!
My results was nothing. Because the cards got stolen😭 Sent in $2800 worth of cards
wth, what did you do about that haha
i normally dont care for content like this but i might actually what this series, pokemon was one of my first games ive ever really got into because of the accessibility of the old school Gameboys, i still remember very good memories from my lime green Gameboy color playing pokemon red and blue. hearing the music is insane for the nostalgia lol. Pokemon is honestly one of those infamous franchises that should be studied
Ya totally agree. Glad you are intrigued by this. Its all born of that nostalgia for me too, and now there are even more layers.
@@acegamestv right on man! looking forward to it!
looking forward to this
Always glad to see you! Hope you enjoy it, its been really fun to make and play.
@@acegamestv pretty sure I picked kingler when I played this.
Oh ya, did you actually play it? How far did you get if you remember
@acegamestv was a long while back now. I can't remember where I got to
When u have fingerprints in the cards the grade it low. Clean cards before send
How do you recommend cleaning them?
Any advise on cleaning?
@@acegamestvmicrofiber cloth
Im a kid i ma11
Oh, ya well that's a good thing! You have your whole life ahead of you. If you are serious about collecting cards now, talk to your parents or guardian and let them know its a passion of yours and your goals. Any parent wants to see their child happy, and if you communicate accurately, they can help you reach your goals easier before you eventually have the funds to buys stuff for yourself.
Those 5’s must have some tiny dents or something. If a card has even the slightest indentation PSA won’t give any higher than a 5, even if it’s otherwise in good condition. Still a very nice haul, love that Dark Charizard
Oh really!? That makes a lot of sense then, because its hard to understand how visually these cards are all the same quality.
This is a dream of mine is to send my pokemon cards into psa.
Oh ya, well it was certainly overpriced, but otherwise nothing that you can't do yourself! It was a fun experience for sure!
Maybe you can get me Pokemon cards please
Anyone can get them, they are freely bought and sold in both retail and the secondary market like Ebay. That's where I listed these ones!
Grading is a scam, not worth the risk of submitting
I agree to a degree. It costs wayyyyy too much for what it is. It's always way too imperfect. But to be fair that seems to be something other companies are trying to fix. With a more transparent and accountable grading scale, it would be a lot more obvious if it's worth paying for or not. Now I also disagree. Collecting cards is almost oxymoronic in some ways to me. It's just cardboard and everything could be ruined in an instant if the cart is even remotely bent. PSA grading increase the stability of the card and adds real value no matter what we think about the process. It's just not enough to pay 25 dollars for it and have it taken two months.
@@acegamestv yeah I like the concept of graded cards but the randomness of actually receiving an accurate grade is a huge negative. When you consider the fact that the grade has monetary value attached to it, giving people the wrong grade is artificially creating/destroying value and I think that should be taken more seriously. Clear grading criteria/feedback could easily fix this issue, but they don’t provide that, wonder why? I just think it’s shady in general, and while I do buy slabs I wouldn’t pay a grading company’s fee for the chance to gamble on them doing their job correctly.
How old this video is...
2012 haha!
i'm waiting until psa sys free grading day with max 10 per person or something. they need to promote more like this for me to grade cause their fine in my top loaders binder rn
Ya, sadly it seems like a huge rip off if you actually intend to sell cards. There are cards that SHOULD sell well, but PSA charges so much they will never be valuable.
