Alright, I just watched the video again and I have to agree on what many have already commented on: the audio balancing is kinda wack. To my ear, the music sounded fine during editing but now I realize my speech is like, nearly the same volume as the music and that can be distracting. I can't really reupload the video anymore but if you're having trouble with the audio, maybe try listening to the video with headphones? Maybe that would help? Anyway, I'm really sorry about this little mishap, I'll try to pay more attention to it in future. EDIT: The video now has captions! Since I didn't want to reupload the video, I decided adding readable subtitles was the way to go. It might be too little too late, but hey, at least it's there now.
Don’t worry I really enjoyed it and this was my first video I’ve watched from your channel and I enjoyed it so much I subscribed keep up the great content
Platinum is my first ever pokemon game. And i have both alot of love and nostalgia for it. But as a Gen V advocate I personally think in all aspects genV B&W and B&W2 are the peak of pokemon. Again I have nothing but love for platinum ,Giratina is still my favorite legendary.
@@tomw3886 Gen 5 may be peak Pokémon but Gen 3 and 4(including PMD EOC) are peak OST Gen 5 doesn't have Giratina's Battle Theme, Cynthia's theme, Battle Frontier Theme(both Hoenn and Sinnoh), Route 110, RSE Surf Theme, RSE Gym Leader theme, Steven Theme and RSE Elite 4 theme
I think the beauty of the pokemon games is how everyone can find something different about the games to hold on too. The original Red and Blue will forever be that special game/memory for me.
Personally I was not a fan of the decision to focus on putting down the other games rather than focusing on the positives of Platinum in what makes it the best game of the franchise
I do see your point I didn't want to put the focus completely on that but it definitely comes off that way But I do feel like I had to point out the problems to make an argument as to why I feel Platinum is perfect But yeah, there might have been a better way to discuss it I guess
Damn, it really changed everything, after all, becoming the first of the "big three" is no small task. Also, great vid! your editing is really good. While my fav. is b2/w2, plat and HGSS are also up there in the S rank for me. One thing I didn't really think about is how expanded the gen 4 experience is, since you can easily interconnect that gen's current games with the gen's remakes, which is not as easy or exciting in other generations. That was you have even more teams on each game.
Great vid. Been literally trying to find something good to watch for hours now, and this was the first vid I was able to sit through & enjoy. Good script Great voice, nice inflections, and volume. Very engaging entertaining and dynamic editing. Easiest Sub and like of my life. Keep up the good work
Cool vid I love Platinum but B/W2 still takes the top spot for me 1/ The gyms All the gym got their own music & the gym leaders are filled with personality Like the Electric gym is just a run way yet I felt star struck when Elesa was shown on screen 2/ the variety of pokemon I do get the point u tried to make in your vid but sir you are not taking full advantage of the improve dex There's so many mons to choose from, i could do monotype challenge runs of anytype and could still change up memebers 3/ the animation Pokemon as well as trainer are full of personality, they feel so lively and unique compare to every other mainline game in the franchise 4/ the post game Oh my word the post game, there's so much to explore I more so enjoy battling and oh boy did i have a good time There's the fight with cythia, the world tournament, the Black City/ White Forrest (They made a whole rouge-like game IN the POSTGAME!! How cool is that!) I could go on but ye i love these game
I understand and respect your point about the post game content. But Platinum also has a lot of post game content. Full legendary hunts, an entire new island with routes as well, battle frontier, gym leader / trainer rematches, … and lots of extra stuf to do once you complete the league. 🤷♂️ So I’d say almost equally as much post game content. Arguably even better than B2/W2 in my opinion. 🤷♂️ But that’s just my opinion from a Game Designer perspective. I also love and own both games btw 😁
This made me realize i enjoy some of these limitations. When there are too many pokemon to choose from and too much to do it loses its flavor for me. The rpg vibes is why i play it . we all had different “first pokemon” experiences and that shaped us. I cant imagine my first exposure to Pokemon being after RBY or GSC. Growing up with it is what made it so special for me. Being there from the beginning before it was even popular and seeing it catch on and become a phenomenon. I did the same with yugioh. Had my comic shop order them before it was even a thing in the states. It brings me great joy that decades later both are still running and going strong❤
Hey buddy great video i had a question im considering getting a ds and getting a pokemon game to replay from my childhood but i wanted one of the variants with the most possible pokemon which one would you recommend out of these 3 ? In terms of aquiring the most pokemon possible ?
This video is so good and I agree with it on so many levels. Firstly. Love that Chuggaaconroy footage used for the gen 5 sections. Secondly, thank you for not saying HGSS is the best thing that ever happened to humanity and actually seeing it’s glaring flaws. Thirdly, you made some great points about why Platinum is so good, the wide variety of Pokémon combined with the difficulty curve and lack of needing to grind for most of the game are the perfect trifecta that make a Pokémon game good in my opinion and it’s nice to see that someone else can see that as well.
i lowkey get lost trying to defeat team rocket, every time.. my favorite pokemon game ive played all the way thru like 5 or 6 times and i always end up needing to ask youtube where to go lol. im the type to say HGSS is the GOAT, but i took off the rose tinted glasses when he said it was a “slog” hahaha
From a Game Designer’s perspective, I agree with most things you’ve said. There’s much more to add to the reasons why Platinum is the greatest Pokémon experience. But I understand you wouldn’t want to make the video 1 hour long or smth.😂 Anyway, good video. However it could have been leaks better if your background music, was actually background music and not so loud.😅🤷♂️ Maybe you can do a reupload? Cause I’d like to show this to a friend of mine. But when he can actually clearly hear you.😁
You know what would be cool? If someone did a no commentary longplay of Pokemon Platinum (post game included) with the Pokemon Paul uses. Torterra, Ursaring, Electivire, Weavile, Honchkrow, Ninjask, Gliscor, Magmortar, Hariyama, Nidoking, Aggron, Gastrodon (East Sea), Drapion, Froslass, Gyarados, Garchomp and Metagross. You can even name the player Paul too.
PLEASE HELP: I have over 60hrs on the game and In order for me to unlock Route 225/ survival area/ route 226 etc i need to complete my Pokédex but the ONLY one I’m missing is Seadra which can ONLY be found on route 226 so there’s no way I can complete the Pokédex??? Im so confused because it’s like I can’t unlock those areas because the game doesn’t let me 😆 PLEASE SOMEONE HELP 😪
Platinum was the first time I learned about EVs… so after spending way too much time in diamond it’s like the Pokémon world had opened up to my 14-15 year old self. Summer of 2009 was Xbox live and platinum all day haha
I do not appreciate the Defog Slander, it is such a great move. It clears Screens, Spikes, Rocks and Mist and Safeguard and lowers Evasion. It may be useless in the field but it’s a fantastic usable move, unlike with Whirlpool. I do wish they would have remade Platinum instead of Diamond and Pearl. Still baffles me why they went with their games over the superior one. And I definitely agree with you on HGSS. It is overhyped and as a fan of Eevee the fact that you cannot get Leafeon or Glaceon without trading is dumb as hell. It gets put on my C tier automatically.
"wouldn't call 6 green Pokemon great" *Inhales* Talonflame, Goodra, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Heliolisk, Sylveon, Hawlucha, Clawitser, Florges, Gogoat, Xerneas, Yveltal, Aegislash, Furfrou. No, but seriously, gen 6 has like, asking the best designs and cool looking Pokemon, all 79 or so are pretty cool. I always thought gen 6 decided to do really iconic Pokemon at the cost of not having filler Pokemon like gen 5, which half of the Pokedex are just copies of gen 1. They have a problem of difficulty and pacing, but designs? Nah uh
People allways mention "nostalgia vias" as a negative thing, while in reality its a great way to connect with each other stories through gaming. Thats what art does, think about your favorite movies, your favorite songs, favorite books... and you will remember when did you watch them, where you were when you heard that tune, with whom? did someone gift you that book or did you bought it for yourself? what was going in your life at the time? Pokemon blue and gold where the ones I played most. Then I played Emerald lots of years later as an adult, and now another 9 years later im playing Platinum on my cellphone at work. Gen 1 and 2 are the only ones I´ve played multiple times, and gold being my favorite I hear you bringing up its design flaws and im like " f*ck he´s right ". But you know what? Gold (and by extention HG) will allways be my favorite pokemon games because they mean a lot to me.
For me.. gen 4 is like gen 1.. It gives A LOT of nostalgia.. But I can't bring myself to play them again.. I would prefer to play a 3rd gen rom hack of johto than to play HGSS.. or just replay my Crystal..
Not going to lie about this, I was a heavily over invested Pokémon fan as a kid I have played every single one to date when they launched roughly… You couldn’t pay me to keep playing platnium post Giritina .. I HATED platnium so much, pacing, the clunky battle speed in particular.. endless amounts of sturdy mon… I get if it’s your first or second gen sure maybe .. It’s not that good at all But THATS SOULY my opinion on that matter
Bro, the sounds needs work. The content is fine, but you need to find the balance between the music and your voice, because it's really off in places. Tone down the BGM and try to work a bit on make your voice consistently be higher than it, because it was all over the place. You'll get there, if you keep working at it, but this is definitely not it yet
lets be real, no nostalgia goggles; the entire first three gens sucked. even if we looked at them through the lens of them being old as dirt, they really couldn't figure out their physical/special system was houndour shit? even if i detest the newest games, at least they have functional base mechanics!
I fully disagree. IMO the games have been going downhill since Red and Blue. They made so much money that they tried to throw way too much into the sequels. And locked way too much gameplay behind live events. With that said, I'm playing Platinum now for the first time, hence why I'm watching your video. Trying to get more familiar with the different pokemon as I play a lot of Pokemon Go. You still get a like, as Red and Blue were my first pokemon games just like Plat was yours. So we are more the same than different.

Why can't you reupload the video? Did you delete it? Rip
consider putting your voice louder than the music
Consider not blowing out your ears with loud music at an early age in your next life so you don’t have to listen through hearing aids

I’m actually going to buy Platinum for my collection. I’ve always wanted to play this one
Hot Take:
Platinum OST > BW OST
Platinum is my first ever pokemon game. And i have both alot of love and nostalgia for it. But as a Gen V advocate I personally think in all aspects genV B&W and B&W2 are the peak of pokemon. Again I have nothing but love for platinum ,Giratina is still my favorite legendary.
@@tomw3886 Gen 5 may be peak Pokémon but Gen 3 and 4(including PMD EOC) are peak OST
Gen 5 doesn't have Giratina's Battle Theme, Cynthia's theme, Battle Frontier Theme(both Hoenn and Sinnoh), Route 110, RSE Surf Theme, RSE Gym Leader theme, Steven Theme and RSE Elite 4 theme
Hm it’s hard for me to choose a favorite genre when it comes to music. I still like the old 8 bit music from gens 1 and 2 especially Johto
platinum easily has the best music in the series. you can just chill out with the ost like none other.
I think the beauty of the pokemon games is how everyone can find something different about the games to hold on too. The original Red and Blue will forever be that special game/memory for me.
Personally I was not a fan of the decision to focus on putting down the other games rather than focusing on the positives of Platinum in what makes it the best game of the franchise
I do see your point
I didn't want to put the focus completely on that but it definitely comes off that way

But yeah, there might have been a better way to discuss it I guess

Easiest Sub and like of my life.
Keep up the good work
So happy I found this video! Platinum is my favorite Pokemon game!
Cool vid I love Platinum but B/W2 still takes the top spot for me
1/ The gyms
All the gym got their own music & the gym leaders are filled with personality
Like the Electric gym is just a run way yet I felt star struck when Elesa was shown on screen
2/ the variety of pokemon
I do get the point u tried to make in your vid but sir you are not taking full advantage of the improve dex
There's so many mons to choose from, i could do monotype challenge runs of anytype and could still change up memebers
3/ the animation
Pokemon as well as trainer are full of personality, they feel so lively and unique compare to every other mainline game in the franchise
4/ the post game
Oh my word the post game, there's so much to explore
I more so enjoy battling and oh boy did i have a good time
There's the fight with cythia,
the world tournament,
the Black City/ White Forrest
(They made a whole rouge-like game IN the POSTGAME!! How cool is that!)
I could go on but ye i love these game
I definitely see where you're coming from, BW2 is still really good despite my silly dilemma with it :D
Platinum has better OST tho
I understand and respect your point about the post game content.
But Platinum also has a lot of post game content. Full legendary hunts, an entire new island with routes as well, battle frontier, gym leader / trainer rematches, … and lots of extra stuf to do once you complete the league. 🤷♂️
