Oh my God, your battle with Milotic taking 45 minutes was just like mine that took 30, and it was only the case because I had to paralyze it instead of letting the burn stay since she had full restores and recover, so I used the turns that she would not be able to move, and the ones she would heal up on, to heal the rest of my team so that they could be ready for Garchomp, I didn't have any direct counters to it either, seriously this battle with Cynthia was the toughest I've ever had in the modern age of Pokemon (since gen 5)
I think it's hilarious how for most of the 'HM' moves it's either a Bidoof or Bibarel who comes out to use it for you, considering how Bidoof was probably the most common HM mule in D/P/Pt. I feel sorta called out! XD
I honestly kind of hate it because I did the exact opposite. I tried to throw my HMs on my actual team so I could actually have 6 pokemon that I use. Never understood only using bibarel just for HMs when you could add another pokemon to your team
@@nmikk10 Well some people consider most hms to be useless therefore taking up a move slot. Having an hm mule allows your team to keep moves you want. Also hms are usually used to get from one town to another. So you switch bibarel in one town, get to the next town and then switch it back out, usually without missing a beat in the story.
The strength rocks for Wayward Cave were there originally in Diamond and Pearl and removed for Platinum. I'm guessing since you can also get Earthquake there too they added them again. Gible is only available in the lower level too :(
Insane that they give you Bidoof at the start of the game, makes the difficulty a bit trivial. Cool to see you only used it for HMs to keep the playthrough challenging.
i really like the game. it brings back a lot of memories but i also had an issue with the 3d movement. it just feels kinda clunky. Like they made you characters hitbox a little to big for some areas so you just grind on the wall while walking through.
My team right now is Crobat, Croagunk, Happiny (just hatched), Manaphy, Swablu, and Chimecho. I thought Jirachi was post game so I'm going to swap out my Swablu for it after work today. Jirachi and Crobat are 2 of my top 5 Pokémon so I'm loving this game. I've also spent a few hours in the underground having fun
stopped at crystal when i was a kid. bought a switch just to play BDSP and absolutely loved it. it may not have lived up to everyone's expectations, but i had a ton of fun.
I was at ihop the other night picking up an order and the woman said “the order will be ready in two shakes of a lamb’s tail” and I was trying for the life of me to remember where I heard that from and here I am today glad I remembered it was from PaPaSea.
wow,shoutout to Mew,who was also an MVP in my team as well beating Cynthia yesterday,i got through BD rather quickly,only like a week and i'm already at post game content :),it was sooo much harder back in the day omg X.X
Thank you for pointing out that the controls are bad!!! No one says it but my forst reaction was…… Why is everythings hitbox so large and why de i keep running into everything!!!
I'm still in my journey, just caught Palkia and getting ready for the 8th gym. I prefer to create a team from before the start of each game and that's what I also did here. Infernape, Staraptor, Luxray, Roserade, Gyarad... Water Onix, Bronzong. Classic team composition. Now I'm excited to finish the game and start both the post game and in my guest account the DTQ (I normaly use the guest account for split screen co-op on the switch).
According to Pokemon Masters, Lucas(the male character) is not confirmed to have a Chimchar, but based on Dawn and Barry being in the game where Dawn has a Turtwig and Barry has a Piplup, it could be confirmed that the Canon character would be to have Lucas with Chimchar
I chose Piplup as my starter and I'm using Girafarig, Mamoswine, Toxicroak and I picked up an Elekid not long ago, took me a while to find one with an electrizrer 😅 I haven't decided who my last team member will be just yet.
The statue is still a mix between them it has palkias feet and shoulder pauldrens and im pretty sure its tail, the only reason you see dialga is because it has his head :)
papasea: we need to box chad chad: *evolves* papasea: welcome to the hall of fame chad seriously such a fun game! i'm just in eterna right now in my own shining pearl so i loved getting to see your run! looking forward to nintended version haha ;)
fun fact about the joycon thing in swsh, i have one blue one orange joycon because my red one broke and it even tracked the colours of those despite the fact that theyre not sold as a pair. i wonder if it can even tell when you have special joycons like the dark blue legend of zelda ones 🤔
I thought about this for a while, but I believe the reason people have such high expectations for the endgame activities is because of the second generation. Game Freak was generous in giving us Kanto ontop of Johto, but that just meant that every following game was expected to have a similarily great postgame. They kind of shot themselves in the foot. Though I'm glad they did.
First time i lost to her garchomp just sweeping my entire team. Second try she went for swords dance and I went for perish song. From there I just waited for her to sweep my team again until she died
I was going to use an Infernape team with Jolteon but eevees not available till post game. Chose Piplup instead so I could pair him with Gliscor. Caught Gligar before the 2nd gym, and find out much later that the razor fang is a post game item. Are you freaking kidding me Ended up having Empoleon, Staraptor, Houndoom, Clefable, Gallade, and Mamoswine
Idc what anyone says these remakes are awesome and I love them and this is coming from a person who loves yellow good silver crystal heart gold and soul silver now these remakes are my favorites yeah the originals and platnuim was awesome but I love these and happy I get a mew a real new not no gameshark mew from game boy days lol
The reason why Volker doesn't have a full team of electric types is because there aren't enough good options for it in the region. At least there wasn't in the original diamond and pearl.
Initially I just got brilliant diamond for the extra mew, manaphy and jirachi, as well as the save data to use for Legends, but I decided to play through it anyway. Ended up attempting to mostly use pokemon I'd never had on a team before in dppt. And also have like 12 pokemon on my team since having a larger team to cycle through is the only way to balance out the permanent exp share. All in all, not bad. Actually struggled in a couple battles thanks to trying to avoid trainers and being slightly under leveled, but hey, that's part of the enjoyment.
My own favorite way to play these games is to just play the originals, which I still own :-p But seriously, if these remakes are anyone's favorite or help to expose new players to the region, then that's still worth something.
I love how you made this video -- it was a reaction playthrough condensed in one video. It showed your real reaction but it was not as long as streams on Twitch (that I do not subscribe to). I love how unscripted you sounded.
Just finished Brilliant Diamond and boy was it challenging and fun to play. I just spent the last 3 hours losing to Cynthia and only won because my Wormadon quiver dance to max and proceeded to sweep. While I definitely think Platinum is the go-to version to experience the Sinnoh Region, the updated movesets and graphics makes this a close second.
Even though it's a remake I don't want any new stuff "spoiled" for me so I'm waiting to watch, but here's a comment to help with the ol' algorithm, thanks for the video and I'm excited to watch it at some point!
Most of what I've been doing is doinking around in the Grand Underground. Seriously, I'm not even at Hearthome yet and my team is L30 from all the catching and beating up of Hideaway Pokemon I've been doing. It's great. Albeit I still haven't found the Togepi I'm looking for despite being in the right spot and having a good boost to Fairy-types appearing with the statues. So I'm down there until I've done that. I'm also trying to use things I haven't before or at least for a long time, but I did pick Piplup since my first time in Diamond I did, and also Water/Steel is a really cool typing. Oh, and I too was blessed with the luck of getting a female starter. I'm hoping that luck comes back soon in the shape of finally finding a Togepi.
I'm having a time deciding my final team guess it's because most sinnoh pokemon were used in other games. Prinplup, Luxray, and Staravia (garchamp line will be add after 6th gym) are going to carry me until the 7th, 8th, elite four and champion
I understand your take, but honestly, this game has been the most fun I have had in a Pokémon game since ORAS. I agree they should has made the exp share optional, but it is actually really well balanced, even more than the ultra games.
13:04 it's jupiter No i don't love pointing out mistakes in youtuber videos i just have the anxiety that people would think it's normal and i know the names can get mixed up sometimes What am I doing with my life
Running into walls isn't just you, the controls feel a bit sloppy. They seem to have used the same grid for everything that was in the original, then allowed stick movement to ignore the grid without rounding off the corners of obstacles.
Alright boys just make sure you keep hammering away with this game. I'm not disappointed from what I've seen so far from it and I feel like they did gen 4 justice.
My first ever team was : Torrterra ( starter ) Palkia ( ledgendary ) Infernape ( traded ) Garchomp ( I thought it would be useful and it was ) Gardavoir ( Really good and love the design) and Machamp ( Traded )
Th-there was a female Ninja Turtle... I can't remember her name, but she didn't last long. The community didn't like her around so she was ditched fairly quickly.
I just got the secret medicine from Cynthia My team atm is Mammoo, the level 33 piloswine Pochama, the level 39 piplup Mukuhawk, the level 39 Staraptor Bippa, the level 39 bidoof And Chad, the level 38 lopunny, who finally just evolved after the Barry fight My sixth spot is reserved for garchomp, whom I’ll name Gibby, I’m just waiting to get access to strength. My team isn’t anything special, just Pokémon I really really like. My favorites from generation 4. I never got to play the original games, so I’m trying to play this game as authentic as possible, and to me, that means only using my favorite options, regardless of how poorly they stack weaknesses

Yay, not only a BDSP gameplay, but a How INtended, my favourite, at that, such a treat 🥰.
The slave status is canon

"We have a Mew, there's no way we lose to a Shellos"
Famous last words

Nope, everyone did it

I wish that you could change the Pokémon thou cos I hate bidoof and bibarel and would rather surf on my gastrodon
Staraptor does it for Fly and Defog
I wonder how beating a remake using the "official" guide of the original game might go.
...Is my comment going to become a video?
@@JeiceSpade never
@@turtleanton6539 How sweet of you
@@JeiceSpade i hope so:0
One thing I learned from this stream was that Let's Go Sudowoodo and Let's Go Dunsparce are the next remakes. So that was cool
So they are doing johto next sweet
Not confirmed 👌 but that would be awesome!
@@rolmos310 I mean they're next up for let's go remakes
The strength rocks for Wayward Cave were there originally in Diamond and Pearl and removed for Platinum. I'm guessing since you can also get Earthquake there too they added them again. Gible is only available in the lower level too :(
I love that 'How to get Garchomp' was the first thing that everybody googled
@@wowwar2 I remember lookimg it up in the guide book, since the TM for Earthquake was in the cave but I could never find it as a kid
I found a shiny Shinx within an hour of playing, full odds. Also my Turtwig was female. I've been blessed
Eyy female Turtwig squad!
Lucky! I found shiny Wurmple on my second day of playing, evolved into Beautifly, also feeling blessed ✨
Yo same! My first shiny was a zubat though 😅
The shiny odds are halved in this game
@@ramen4047 Ferb, I know what we're going to do today
The statue is the same in both versions and yes it represents both Dialga and Palkia. The wings, the shoulder pads and the back legs are Palkia’s
Insane that they give you Bidoof at the start of the game, makes the difficulty a bit trivial. Cool to see you only used it for HMs to keep the playthrough challenging.
Holy shit, it's Lakanus. Glad to see you around, used to love your troll Souls videos, especially trolling Otz. Hope you're doing well. :)

13:50 The strength rocks were there in Diamond and Pearl, they were removed in Platinum.
He's too quick!!! Barry would be jealous.
I was at ihop the other night picking up an order and the woman said “the order will be ready in two shakes of a lamb’s tail” and I was trying for the life of me to remember where I heard that from and here I am today glad I remembered it was from PaPaSea.
It’s an old idiom.
Picking Pearl and turtwig! You are doing it right!
I love the connection to the pluck tm. Not normally used but a very good move
wow,shoutout to Mew,who was also an MVP in my team as well beating Cynthia yesterday,i got through BD rather quickly,only like a week and i'm already at post game content :),it was sooo much harder back in the day omg X.X
I’d love to see you just genuinely play more Pokémon games like this, you’re super entertaining and I’d love to come back for more of this
It's hard to find unofficial guides like this, but if there are any when scarlet and violet come out i will
Eric would be proud to see you still playing pokemon for all these years
Thank you for pointing out that the controls are bad!!! No one says it but my forst reaction was…… Why is everythings hitbox so large and why de i keep running into everything!!!
I'm so thankful to finally see someone say it, I've not heard anything about it yet and I was wondering if I'm just inept
Omg such a mood

We apparently share similar minds because the first thing I did during my playthrough of Shining Pearl was grab a Turtwig and name it Raphael.
Just for fun i defeated every trainer along the way, when i got to the League i was level 68
this game seems to be more of a hd remake with some updates. Its fine. I liked it.
According to Pokemon Masters, Lucas(the male character) is not confirmed to have a Chimchar, but based on Dawn and Barry being in the game where Dawn has a Turtwig and Barry has a Piplup, it could be confirmed that the Canon character would be to have Lucas with Chimchar
I gotta say. I enjoy the way you play, you don't unnecessarily under level yourself and build a strong team.

I don't think I've ever had a team without crobat.. I need my speedy attacker
I'm honestly pumped up to watch you defend your pokemon contest crown
I love how 'hammering away' became like your catchphrase after that one sub-par FrLg strategy guide from Prima Games 🤣
I feel like you really get a kick outta of saying “two shakes of a lamb’s tail” in every intended video
I always thought it was a Venusaur rock in sunyshore. But now that you say it, yes, munchlex & snorlax.
fun fact about the joycon thing in swsh, i have one blue one orange joycon because my red one broke and it even tracked the colours of those despite the fact that theyre not sold as a pair. i wonder if it can even tell when you have special joycons like the dark blue legend of zelda ones 🤔
This was an amazing video! Amazing job! Extremely entertaining
Thank you for letting m know Ludicolo is exclusive to Pearl, I was about to buy Diamond like an idiot.
Wow, they're really throwing legendaries at you, aren't they?
not really, you have to go a bit out of your way to get them and you don't have to use any
There are so many anyway.
I swept Cynthia's entire team with an underleveled wormadam. Quiver dance Bug buzz and Psychic. Sandy Cloak for the win lmao
I thought about this for a while, but I believe the reason people have such high expectations for the endgame activities is because of the second generation.

Misdreavus learns Shadow ball at level 41, and Mismaguis learns it at Level 1
Are you extra sassy in this one? Lovin’ it! I don’t have the game so I’m living vicariously :)
Turtwig is always the option, especially now with the u derground with more fire type in there.
Oh
you managed cynthia way better than me... i needed 35 Revives and 10 max potions... and then i remembered that i had toxic
First time i lost to her garchomp just sweeping my entire team. Second try she went for swords dance and I went for perish song. From there I just waited for her to sweep my team again until she died
Turtwig waa my starter too! I love those underdog grass starters! Plus Green is my favorite color.
I was going to use an Infernape team with Jolteon but eevees not available till post game. Chose Piplup instead so I could pair him with Gliscor. Caught Gligar before the 2nd gym, and find out much later that the razor fang is a post game item. Are you freaking kidding me

Shoutout to the legendary slayer... Chad!
I found myself doing honor battles more nowadays during the playthroughs
PaPaSea: No Guide? No problem, I'll play the PaPa way.
I refused to go off course from the team I had planned and I ended up with my weakest pokemon being level 70 before I could beat the league
My disappointment is immeasurable that they didn’t have the platinum arenas for the elite four. Missed opportunity.
Wow, this was fast. Great job!
Cool, You named your Crobat the same as i always name mine =)
I really like the way you narrated this video!
content like this is definitely top tier
"A A Ron"
I see you're a man of culture as well
If they remake platinum it should be called “mirrored platinum”
I used a Milotic, Clefable, Wormadam Trash Cloack, Garcholmp, Lucario and Azumarill
I used Mew on my team in Let's Go Pikachu when that first came out. So broken - I loved it! Haha
Your pokes are all similar colours. Very aesthetic!
Most of what I've been doing is doinking around in the Grand Underground. Seriously, I'm not even at Hearthome yet and my team is L30 from all the catching and beating up of Hideaway Pokemon I've been doing. It's great. Albeit I still haven't found the Togepi I'm looking for despite being in the right spot and having a good boost to Fairy-types appearing with the statues. So I'm down there until I've done that.

Belly Drum Snorlax HARD carried against Cynthia for me 😂
Woof, I just started a platinum nuzlock and and he swept me. That Cranidos is rough for this stage in the game.
You: About to play pokemon how you intend it
Nintendo: hey that's illegal!
Turtwig is dope.
I didn’t know where the defog hm was so I went through all the fog blinded and annoyed
Team Piplup rise up!
I'm having a time deciding my final team guess it's because most sinnoh pokemon were used in other games. Prinplup, Luxray, and Staravia (garchamp line will be add after 6th gym) are going to carry me until the 7th, 8th, elite four and champion
I am disappointed enough in these remakes that I don't want to buy them, but watching videos like yours is still a nice way to re-experience Gen 4.
I understand your take, but honestly, this game has been the most fun I have had in a Pokémon game since ORAS. I agree they should has made the exp share optional, but it is actually really well balanced, even more than the ultra games.
We now know what happened to Bonz after Battle City.... he went super villain
I watched all your nintended videos today you deserve more subs great content keep going and thank you for the videos! :)
I love that I'm watching a Pokemon video and got references to yugioh and Rick and Morty definitely in the right place subscribed 😂

Th-there was a female Ninja Turtle... I can't remember her name, but she didn't last long. The community didn't like her around so she was ditched fairly quickly.

My team atm is
Mammoo, the level 33 piloswine
Pochama, the level 39 piplup
Mukuhawk, the level 39 Staraptor
Bippa, the level 39 bidoof
And Chad, the level 38 lopunny, who finally just evolved after the Barry fight
My sixth spot is reserved for garchomp, whom I’ll name Gibby, I’m just waiting to get access to strength.
My team isn’t anything special, just Pokémon I really really like. My favorites from generation 4. I never got to play the original games, so I’m trying to play this game as authentic as possible, and to me, that means only using my favorite options, regardless of how poorly they stack weaknesses
