Yeah, I still don't own copies of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, though I have been hoarding extra copies of XY/ORAS/SM specifically so I'll do them on the YouTube channel. I got SM on their release date, and I remember going to a GameStop store in 2016 to participate in the gen 6 Volcanion event. I asked the lady at the desk if they allow purchasing of multiple codes and they did, so I opted for buying four codes for the four gen 6 games I stored. If I keep my save file, I can show Volcanion in some of the videos (or maybe I could hack it into the game even if I lost the save file somehow, I do use the homebrew channel on my Wii U's Wii Mode for what that's worth).

I'll work my way up from generation 1, with Red/Green/Blue/Yellow, and I'll count the different versions of the same game released on the same date as different games with their own playlists rather than being a bit messy with it by titling it "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl" (like chuggaaconroy and the others do) because there are exclusives and different boss names or stats based on the different versions, for generations 1-5 I can do them on an emulator.

I wish we lived in the golden days back when the Isshu region games were still being released because that means I could just wait for every new game to be developed and released and then instantly have them on the emulator. Now, I need to get the 3DS capture card for gens 6 and 7. And I'll have to manage with the cheating devices since my playlists will also consist of the legendary and interactable Pokémon.

A future game series I'm planning after knocking some of these ones out is "The Great Fray in Super Smash Bros." (the "Great Fray" 大乱闘 part is not translated in the English title), an overrated mini series where Nintendo characters beat each other up and achieve high percentages of damage to knock them out of bounds to win each match. I've already gotten the unlockables by downloading a Virtual Console save file off of GameFAQs and installing it with Save Game Manager GX (requires cIOS) though it'll be a nightmare when I do Melee and Brawl. Particularly Mewtwo in Melee which requires logging at least 20 hours of total play time on VS. mode. The videos will consist of the opening, How to Play, and the ending credits in addition to the free-play stages with consistent character config (i.e., the Bonus Stage practice in Smash 64, in addition to the Event Matches in later games). In addition, the first Smash game is not on the Wii U Virtual Console, which means I'll be using the Wii Virtual Console version to play it (same as for any other Nintendo 64 game, it doesn't have many games however the ones I'll need are listed there). I'm not thinking about emulation (unless it's Bizhawk), because I've run into problems with Nintendo 64 emulation in the past involving glitching. There's also another Smash game releasing this year in December for the Switch.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is another game I'll require buying a capture board for...
