ATTENTION SPEEDRUN FANS‼️ I accidentally bought AGDQ tickets on the same day I'm supposed to get married & they cost me $2,000 (plane, registration, hotel, etc.) If anyone wants to go take my place for FREE it's going to be at the St. Marys church his name is John he's 5'10 super nice guy

New video after my ZA break! 🔎This time I investigated a bizarre glitch in Pokemon Platinum's Battle Factory, solving once and for all which releases are glitched and which aren't. Plz watch its my shortest vid yet 🥺 youtu.be/wNg5DrO9wOI

After 9 freakin years HGSS finally got back in, grats to @tts4life.bsky.social !!! And Grats to all my friends that got a run in 🥳

Don't forget to hatch eggs today in Generation 4 for 10% faster egg cycles! (Also watch the video about this mechanic from @etchy.bsky.social)

after years of speedrunning gen 4 pokemon it finally happened

New video! I investigated the accidental shiny hunts possible in Gen 4's Battle Frontier, one of which features the highest shiny odds in the series!! Check it out :) youtu.be/SsfxWa84xsk

New video up about a recently discovered glitch with U-Turn! I also investigate why this glitch happens and why this move has so many weird issues. My shortest video yet so no reason not to click it!! youtu.be/xwWE0Tsx2cA

what better way to spend your saturday than watching me lose at the battle factory for 12 hours twitch.tv/etchy

highlight of the battle factory subathon so far: bronzgod sweep 💪

New emotes courtesy of @frannyanart.bsky.social!! I'll add more once I clear up some slots ❤️

It’s officially been one year since I put up a video about a niche Gen 4 feature that nobody talked about. Since then I’ve been making videos nonstop, launched a website to document the undocumented, and played a ton of Pokémon. Thank you for your support and nearly 3.5m views ❤️

I'm live on Twitch right now with my Battle Factory Subathon! Contribute to my success or demise as I attempt to finally get the stupid Gold Print😱 twitch.tv/etchy

I made this thumbnail :o)

NEW VIDEO 🚨 I fixed Gen 4 by making it go fast, and you can too! No hacks whatsoever; it can be done on a regular ol' DS or 3DS. Check it out below :) youtu.be/tMsGowDCVVE

30k 🥳 really happy with my last couple videos but still lots to learn and improve on. Cool video coming in a couple days!!

I am never beating the battle factory man

Big highlight from Worlds was an impromptu PSR lunch 🥹 also had some fire Indian food

Made some big trades yesterday to get the matching card 😍

I used ACE for uncapped frame rate and instant text just for this event, PLEASE SHINY PINECO!!

POKEMON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! #pokemonworlds #pwcs2025 #fanart

The artist said it was their first time ever signing their art I’m so honored 😭 #PokemonWorlds

I’m at the Pokémon World Championships! If you’re here feel free to say hi if ya see me. Thank you to Pokémon for the #free_access 😎

Instant text in Pokemon Platinum purely with ACE! Doesn't look like I'll have a video or guide done before Worlds sadly since D/P are not cooperating, but soon!!

might be having too much fun working on this next vid

Live now doing some Battle Factory with uncapped FPS twitch.tv/etchy

Messing around with speeding up Gen 4 purely through ACE, battles with uncapped frame rate are a little too quick 😬

The algorithm does NOT like the vid but this is my craziest views to like ratio ever 😭 glad people like it!

please we are so low on like everything yall gotta come help !!!!!! i know you're open the week of the event !!!!!! ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ forms.gle/Y7QsuA5sBBEY...

NEW VIDEO 🚨 My first Gen 6 video! I researched Chain Fishing and finally determined how everything works. I even found a previously unknown fishing bonus! This was a lot of fun to research, hopefully shiny hunters find it useful. youtu.be/JgvW8fha7k4

I was just running around in the grass to check an encounter rate thing 😭 my two most recent plat shinies are now BOTH MACHOP AUGH

chain fishing is Awesome 😎

$7.44 from equifax settlement just hit…don’t worry kitten, discord nitro is on me 😼

I am live running Let's Go Pikachu Any% and raising money for Planned Parenthood with RejectsAndFriends. Please come hang out and support :D twitch.tv/rejectsandfr...

I am live opening the new ptcg set then shiny hunting in gen 6 (I cant believe I'm doing this) twitch.tv/etchy

As per usual I have completely derailed the video I was working on by starting on a different one. First Gen 6 video soon 😅

Finally moved the website to Obsidian Publish to streamline stuff, and I added some new info about footprint colors! I have redirects for (most) of the old links so they should still work :). Check it out! sinjohruins.com

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day!!! 💛🤍💜🖤 This weekend we'll be celebrating with a 2-day speedrunning event, here's a look at the schedule!!

Back home from GDQ, as usual I didn’t take enough pics 😦 I promise next time I’ll be there for longer. GDQ was a much needed distraction but now I will lock back into video stuff 🫡

Had an amazing time commentating @headbob.bsky.social’s Pokemon XY speedrun at #SGDQ2025. Always a privilege to help raise money for a great cause and Headbob CRUSHED it!

In about 2 1/2 hours from now I’ll be running Pokemon X live from SGDQ 2025 with @etchy.bsky.social , @swiftalu.bsky.social and @zypotic.bsky.social on the couch! Hopefully it’ll be a great run!!! Link: twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

Day was so busy I didn’t even mention I got to #SGDQ2025 today 🥳 volunteering backstage rn, then commentating the Pokémon X/Y speedrun in like 8 hours 😎

Glad the human translations are appreciated, was really important especially for a video like this. Thanks again to @sawayoshiyt.bsky.social!!

NEW VIDEO 🚨 I spent 2 months investigating a glitch that turned out to be fake, busting a 16 year old glitch that fooled a lot of people. youtu.be/nxux_p-YwkA

dude why is this the yt auto thumbnail... anyways new video up tomorrow :)

My longest video ever goes up next week, before I leave for SGDQ. This stupid thing has consumed 2 months of my life and I can't wait to share it 🥰

NEW VIDEO 🚨 The Switch 2 is a big deal for Pokemon speedruns, but it uniquely helps solve a supersized problem for Lets Go Pikachu/Eevee. Temporarily, at least. youtu.be/IOSHy_-YQt8
