Hate to be a buzzkill but it comes from the word Nary which was respelled ne'er in the 1700's Just so happens to look like never. And just so happens to mean similar to never. However it does not have anything to do with the word never.

[@bowlerdude041]

​@@gregheffly Well... if we're wanting to dive into it this much... it is 100% a contraction of never, and it goes back way further than the 1700s. Never comes from old English "nǽ fre," a combination of "ne" ("not" or "no") and "ǽfre" ("ever") and the contraction ne'er was used as far back as the 13th century. Nowadays, it's obviously not used that way in normal speech so just a poetic contraction. Nary is indeed related and goes back to the 1700s, in fact in the other direction though; it was derived from the phrase "ne'er a"

Seeing the Sinnoh region again is so nostalgic, I haven’t played the gen 4 games in many years. I might have to play through Platinum again if Gen 4 remakes get announced.

[@whisperingwooper1763]

Same here! I haven’t played gen 4 in so long I’m definitely overdue.

[@curiouscreator8806]

i have never played gen 4

[@shinygrasspokemontrainer1980]

Curious Creator you’re missing out super hard omg. I’m on my third play through and Sinnoh is easily my favorite region (back and forth with Unova and Hoenn sometimes) I’ve played through Kanto like 10 times but love Sinnoh x100 more even though I’ve only payed through the region two times completely (just started another play through). I’m talking about Platinum, though, which is the better version. Never played D or P and never will lol. Platinum is worth the price (:

[@goldh2o543]

Don't get your hopes up for the remakes, though...

As a kid I had no idea how hard feebass was to catch, I just went out and fished for one and caught it on the first try. I was so lucky and I only realized it last month

[@valisterreuben8392]

Yes, I've managed to catch Feebas, like a lot. More than 30, less than 100, and bred them... both in my Platinum, and Ruby game like in 2018, at random I chose the tiles... and being lucky enough to have(currently) a game shark for my gameboy, as well as had (lost it) an action replay for my DS. All that hard work paid and is off my bucket list...

The anime also pronounces it that way from what I remember.

Diamond and Pearl too have so many memories. I would follow Marriland's walkthroughs and name my starter Marriland. These games cemented my love for the franchise.

[@justsomejojo]

I bought Diamond from my first ever internship money back then - my internship ended right on the day the games released, so that was a pretty great weekend. I'm actually replaying the game right now was well and you can be sure I'll use Pluck for those Sitrus berries, since they annoyed me quite a bit on past playthroughs. That tip was actually really helpful, not gonna lie.

I completed diamond for the first time back in the summer of 2020, i had a blast.

I truly lost it when you said "Two shakes of a lamb's tail" looool

[@joelmavity1467]

When I first played Diamond, I actually pulled an anime move. I was battling Lucian’s Bronzong with my Buizel and I used Whirlpool then Ice Beam. I got lucky and Ice Beam froze it, and it was as if it was frozen inside the Whirlpool.

Kinda hilarious that when they show the physical special split they show hitmonchan using fire punch in the same generation where hitmonchan get the ability iron fist

Lol Pokémon as a franchise is 25 years old. And I still remember very clearly the day first generation came to west. If you are a fossil I'm Dialga or Palkia.
