What's going on boys and girls what's up well the Austin John plays here and
today we're gonna be talking about a Pokemon caching machine so if anyone has
seen the most recent video by Jay wits which if you don't know who Jay Wood
says why are you even watching me he's a fantastic youtuber we were both part of
Facebook gaming and he did a lot of live streams this year doing some shiny
hunting stuff that I plan on doing in the near future my hair is a mess right
now that's fine I have it slept lunch he came up with several different ways for
him to press the a button on a joy con for him to be able to trade for shiny a
lowland Pokemon because that's that's all you do in this game to get shiny
lowland pokemon you just trade a bunch of regular ones to a person you get an
unlimited amount Terrence went through several different mock-ups of what he
wanted to do and ended up going with a programming solution or in order to
press the a button a lot I'm not that tech savvy with building little machines
like that so I decided to go the old-fashioned route with Legos now this
right here is primarily composed of the motor set I'm gonna have an Amazon link
if you want to build this for yourself it's just this big bad boy right here
which it takes six double-a batteries three per side I can't open it right now
I don't want to break it and then I decided to buy just one pound of
miscellaneous Technic Legos and here we are this is this is the machine it's not
very well colored right now and the motor kit comes with the battery pack a
switch which I installed right here for on and off and then the actual motor it
has a few gears including this little little little spinny boy right here in
addition to this much larger gear which is used in case something actually gets
snagged it will prevent it from breaking the motor and using a different
combination of sizes of gears I was able to make it that way it would just go and
continually press the a button on a joy con either in a separate joy
con wall docked tabletop or a full switch handheld mode demonstration joy
Kahn sits right inside of here and aligns up perfectly with the a button
and now we just power the motor you see the green LED and boom a button right
there now this is very similar in idea to a turbo mode except well there is no
turbo mode for individual joy Kahn's this was my solution and it works
amazingly I was able to keep my entire switch inside of here in handheld mode
and it can just catch pokemon in addition to doing all the training and
stuff so when playing pokemon go in handheld mode wherever you face the
accelerometer will know that that's where you want to throw the pokeball and
if it's not moved at all it defaults to directly in front and with the top of an
a button you can just have it shoot the ball straight forward also I decided to
put flames on it because that makes it go faster so now for full demonstration
when a pokemon goes to encounter me and this thing is on it will just throw Foca
balls perfectly catch it catch it nice it will just go through all the menus
and everything else and since no real interaction is required between catches
it's it's fine now I did this primarily so I could catch Geodude so that I can
then use the same method to trade for a Lolan Geodude oh there's a Zubat wow
that was a nice throw thanks machine
nice and as you can see it's pretty effective I am still on my first set of
batteries here and with my first set of batteries it has ran I'd say about 8
hours or so the hardest part is getting all the money for all the pokéballs and
then after a caching session after I go through all my pokeballs premier balls
great balls and ultra balls in that order I just go to the Pokedex
and I check out a pokedex of all the Pokemon that I'm gonna encounter here
being Zubat etc and then I look at the specific entries I have if you didn't
know zubats female model has shorter whiskers same thing goes for like
Pokemon with horns the female has smaller horns if you have a lowland
variance that would also show up here I was just on here I was like there's my
lowland there's mic Antonian and apparently there's a gold one somewhere
so then I just go through all the Pokemon that I have and lo and behold my
lego caching machine was actually able to get me a shiny Geodude who knows how
many other shiny spawned and then just I never encountered them or possibly ran
away now I'm not making a chain because I'm just catching whatever pokemon run
my way and in addition to that I'm not getting great amount of a specific type
of candy however after a certain amount of Pokemon caught it will start getting
me species-specific candy and when I get species-specific candy then I get to
sell that in addition to all the other items that I get and then that further
perpetuates the cycle so if you wanted to stock up on Kanto nyan variants for
you to do trading and then a mashing for you to get a lowland variants of those
can Tony and Pokemon boom Legos that's it highlights of this if I had a
larger gear I think it would be a little bit easier I have the bendy boy don't
know its actual name but the bendy boy right there makes it so that it's able
to wiggle back and forth and then it just goes downward and then going
through several of these to make sure it's perfectly straight and then just to
size it's important to make sure that it's weighted properly and then also
sometimes I put this under this side to prevent the motor from bouncing
backwards which will then make it even more effective see how it's not moving
at all now a big controversial question is this cheating does this take all the
fun out of you pressing a for many many hours for you to get yourself shiny
pokemon of a Ken of Anna lowland area I don't think so listen I got better
stuff to do with my time then press a for hours I mean the struggle of this
entire process would be you going and getting the money for the pokeball so
you are putting in work and then it's just mindless effort right there and
that's what machines are for machines are there for mindless efforts so I may
do some live streams where I'm shiny hunting with one main switch and then
off to the side you see the lowland trades going on
I feel like that'd be a good way to duel shiny hunt I even have a template all
set up for that don't I yep sure do it's not updated or anything but eventually
it'll be ready and good to go then I have my single one ready so yeah I'm
gonna be doing some live streams come January first cuz that's what my
contract with Facebook is up and that should be fun don't know if I'm gonna do
it here or if I'm going to be trying out twitch so yeah I'm not gonna lie I'm
having so much more fun still playing Pokemon than I am
smash I finished all the light I don't enjoy the online that much mostly
because I suck and I get my butt handed to me Shawny hunting has never been more
fun and this is what I enjoy doing and I'm sure some of you out there agree
with me we're gonna start doing the live-streaming I'll probably do
tournaments and stuff with subscribers or people help who help support the
channel so yeah guys what do you think about having a Pokemon caching machine
for you to help catch pokemon and for you to trade for a lowland variance I
think it's pretty neat I think it's pretty awesome that I get to use
something that I used to enjoy playing with so so many years ago in order for
me to catch pokemon did I miss my calling should I have been a lego
channel I don't know I don't know I'm not gonna be a lego channel don't worry
still still Pokemon and Zelda and Tendo stuff I'm gonna leave links down below
to the motor kit and for the listing of the the 1 pounds of miscellaneous stuff
and you could probably construct this yourself hope this video was helpful to
informative if it was be sure to leave a like down below we're new to the channel
