BDSP should have just used the entirety of Platinum and it's features like the post game. And then put the D/P exclusives for each version and call it a day...

[@mosstits]

BDSP was such a bad idea in the first place. DP were revealed to be rushed games, which is partly why Platinum exists as a "fix" and improvement. So creating a faithful-but-rushed remake of a rushed game was never gonna turn out good.

[@Shugunou]

@@mosstits If they didn't make BDSP, there would be no remakes of generations that came after. I'm sure a lot of people are looking forward to the Black and White remakes and those couldn't exist if they just stopped making remakes. So, even if the remakes were the worst Pokemon games in existence, they were still important.

[@mosstits]

@@Shugunou I only said that DP remakes were a bad idea because Platinum exists. Sinnoh remakes were inevitable, but they should've done Platinum instead. A rushed remake of a good game is better than a rushed remake of a rushed game.

[@Shugunou]

@@mosstits They have never done remakes of the third game in the series before and that would set precedence for future remakes. the reason that is bad is because some generations don't have a third game/sequels. Gen 6 is one of those. They were originally planned to have one but never got one which would essentially make it so that there would never be a gen 6 remake which would mean there would never be a gen 7 or gen 8 remake either.

“I of course have an honor battle against her Garchomp and win.” Heck yeah, that’s what we come here for! This was actually my first Pokémon strategy guide! I learned a lot from it, but honestly I can’t say young me put any of that knowledge to practical use. Which is to say, I used an overleved starter Pokémon for most of the game until that no longer become a viable strategy and never beat the Elite Four. 😅 I’d love to replay Platinum but sadly I lost my cartridge years ago. Maybe later down the line I’ll get the chance. It’s nice that Platinum ironed out some of the complaints people had with Diamond & Pearl. You can find more Fire Types like Houndour, Magmar, and Flareon, for example. Ponyta still evolves late, but you can catch one much earlier and they now learn Flame Wheel from leveling up.

I think "Say no and write a report" just means if you are not prepared for the fight yet you can just say no and save your game. I believe "Save a report" is the term for the Japanese Pokemon games as saving you game (The option on your main menu for saving the game is literally called "report" in Japanese), so basically this is just a mistranslation.

Maybe, but with all the puns and such, I feel like it's more likely a joke about you being a kid dealing with this situation. Realistically, you should just leave and call the police.

[@cephery8482]

Nah still the worst region since gen 2. It looks worse than all the other 3d games, and worse than the ds 2d games at the same time. Its the easiest game by some margin and the game just hands you some of the best pokemon instead of working for them. Like in sinnoh you get a lucario by beating a mini dungeon, hatching an egg, maxxing its friendship and levelling it all the way from 1. Meanwhile kalos just gives you a mega lucario, one of the most broken pokemon in the game, and it’s mandatory. It adds barely any new pokemon, and so many routes are empty. Nothing like the mansion, old chateau, valor resort and lost tower (in d/p) which are all completely optional side areas.

This is super nostalgic, I had that guide and used it all the time for all the info that helped me as a dumb 8 year old!

The aspect that hooked me in sinnoh was the underground experience. The gem digging mini games and your own little bunker was so fun

At 27:25 I think you mean everstone ;) Jokes aside, this was a fantastic video and gave me a ton of nostalgia for my favourite generation, which also happens to be the gen I started with! Diamond was my first ever main series game, though Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team was my first ever Pokemon game in general ^-^

Can’t believe I never played this. Actually gave my copy away.. worst decision I’ve made after seeing the prices lately

[@ShockwaveITB]

Curious why you gave it away before even playing it. Tired of Pokémon at the time? Got it as a gift and didn’t want it? I’m just curious

[@andreweverett5158]

@@ShockwaveITB my cousin bought it and this particular strategy guide and gave it to me when he finished playing through it. I was heavily invested in my Diamond copy and moved to heartgold afterwards just never actually got around to playing through it and since I got it for free I gave it to a friend for free. I honestly had no idea that there were as many changes. I figured aside from Giratina and new clothes, it was pretty much exactly the same lol

@@andreweverett5158 ahh. Makes sense.

Am I the only one who finds it weird how early in games you get legendary pokemon? Most give you the box legendary before the Elite Four but in this game you have a chance to get 4 legendary pokemon before the 8th gym. I think that's more then any other gen (gen 1 is 2 of the birds and I don't count the gen 8 DLC)

[@Frog_Dogger]

In OR/AS you can get an absurd amount of legendaries before the Elite 4. Like you could have a full team of legendaries and then some, and that's exactly what I did in my first run of the Elite 4 back when I was a kid. My team was Latios, Groudon, Palkia, Ho-Oh, Regigigas and Tornadus-Incarnate. I find it kinda funny that kid me picked the likes of Tornadus and Regigigas over my starter.
