Can I Beat Pokémon Platinum Using Diamond's MANGA Team? (Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge)

[@pokehorror7777]

Diamond is probably the nicest character in the Adventures series, I still can’t believe his Munchlax didn’t evolve due to his near-lifelong friendship with the little guy 😢❤

[@magnuspkmn]

It would've been nice to have a Snorlax by gym 2... but Lax was a cutie, can't take that away!!

[@christophermitchell9739]

I think it was an Ash's Pikachu situation, and just preferred being that way. (And the previous two arcs had featured Snorlax used by the leads)

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

Both Red and Emerald have Snorlax, so Lax not evolving was likely done for the sake of variety (that and Pearl’s Chatot, his counterpart, can’t evolve anyway.)

[@ashleywalker5419]

True that brother 😎

[@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50]

What about an alakazam in gen 1 for misty ?​@@magnuspkmn

[@thatoneaxolotlguy9969]

"We bring out lax which can outspeed" Thats a combanation of words i never knew would exist and make perfect sense

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

I love how Lax was the key to defeating Cynthia despite you being tempted to let him go on multiple occasions. Reminds me of Mr. Stake the Meganium. 😆

[@samueljeffries1802]

Mr. Steak? 🚬 I haven't heard that name in a long time.

[@MyNameIsNigel]

Mrrrrrrr Stake!!! For context they were a Chikorita starter in the Team Four Star nuzlocke of Heartgold

[@texasgaming7457]

Don we never forget your heroic sacrifice, that's the reason why Lax could pull off that epic comeback. Your spirit will always live in your friends

[@antoniolopes1754]

I love the contrasts between the pokedex holder teams in the manga, the more offensive pearl and the more balanced platinum but with a little more focus on speed besides the fact that they basically share their pokemons one of the best trios in the manga and the diamond team isn't bad at all

[@FireFog44]

"That'd be like like if gible was only found on 10 random tiles!" *Feebas war flashbacks intensify*

[@pumpkinarthur]

I think you actually lost earthquake by pressing b on the evolution hahaha

[@jarvinator100]

Yeah he did. That press of b was a big fuck up.

[@souljahwitchluv]

its always shocking you dont have more subscribers, you’re in the upper range of nuzlocke creators and have a unique content gimmick, love the videos!!

[@Olorin884]

The Action Relay part got me good 😂😂😂

[@LunaLu11_]

Here we go maaan, love this series ❤

[@magnuspkmn]

Appreciate you!!! I love making them for you and exploring the manga backstories together!

[@LunaLu11_]

​@@magnuspkmn Yes man, gonna love that... I really enjoy with this series, I've always wanted to read pokemon manga but there's one thing or another so until now I can't read the pokemon manga, but after seeing your content about this pokemon manga series playthrough nuzlocke, I do fallin in love with this series... Thank you bro

[@simonunknown4384]

Had to pause when he called Saturn ''her'' and double check to see if I've been wrong my entire life

[@JxPgg]

I know it's totally subjective but I have no clue how kid you didn't like Sinnoh -- While it wasn't my favourite, I have so many memories as a kid from the Sinnoh era, it has a special place in my heart.

[@magnuspkmn]

My parents would only buy me the game after the prices dropped, so when Platinum was out, they got me FireRed. HGSS when BW came out, and BW when XY came out. Totally skipped over Sinnoh😭

[@Shawnzy1]

I was the same , when I replayed it was way better

[@Eclin]

For me, was because it’s so slow lmao. I didn’t have much fun with pearl/diamond, but i did like Plantinum a bit more.

[@Shawnzy1]

@@Eclin I was 17 or 18 when it came out . I was transitioning to college and didn’t give it the fair time

[@christophermitchell9739]

@Eclin Same. I got video games after school Friday, Saturday and til 6 on Sunday most of the year, so the slowness was a huge downside.

[@protontoad]

This world needs more Pokemon creators who give spotlight to the manga. How I'm just now discovering this series of videos and your channel is beyond me, as Pokespe has been a constant in my life for over a decade now. The wprld of the manga and the dexholders means so much to me that when I was younger I used to play through the games casually with their respective teams, but I never thought to do a challenge like this with them! Love to see another manga fan, as I truly do believe it to be Pokemon in it's best form. Cheers!

[@hkossover]

You are my favorite nuzlocker. It's hard to still find enjoyment in nuzlocke videos after watching so many the past 4 years, but the way you do your videos (and actually do them legit) is the best. I hope to see your channel gain 100k+ subs in the future

[@Winningthewormoff]

Great, as usual, love seeing any usage of the Turtwig line, they're some of my favorite Starters

[@bernardodornela4835]

Diamond had such a cool team! You can tell it was a very fun run. Congrats!

[@savebatsfromscratch]

I had always wondered how good Dia's team actually was, thank you for putting it to the test! :D (And in such an interesting way too!)

[@jalalfaraj7134]

Thanks to this video I started reading the pokemon manga and I just wanted to say thx for the video you give to us ❤

[@saltylosertcg4042]

I just had to say, love the videos. There so well made, the nod to psyduck spice was so funny and also nice! I really am glad to see folks care for the manga! Can't wait till gen 5! I'm one of the very few Lack Two fans in the world, but keep up the great work! You truly make High School less a pain.

[@edra2005]

Love the Sinnoh trio so much They traveled and grew stronger together So heartbreaking when they went their separate ways to the different lakes

[@ashleywalker5419]

Bro I did this challenge 11 months ago and I loved it to the very end.Diamond is my favorite Pokédex Holder

[@dylandodds4317]

I’m not gonna love I’ve been so addicted to this series I can’t stop watching every episode

[@Jarmymon]

I clicked on this video because my favourite Pokémon Lickilicky was in the thumbnail

[@psyduckspice]

Dee was clearly the MVP, he was just a little shy. Great video as always, sorry this took me so long to find the time to watch! That Bastiodon fight was so tense, got to love it when the ai throws though. Also im clearly just pronouncing things wrong to farm comments, 100% not on purpose or anything...

[@ashtails5985]

And thus Magna’s Sinnoh adventures begin! Can’t wait to see the next few videos!

[@ShredderHashira]

I like how Diamonds team is way more bulky and tanky I bet speed was a pretty big issue to overcome

[@andrewwelch5302]

Never forget that Platinum defeated Maylene through gambling addiction

[@FrLaF]

Oh I just finished that arc on the manga yesterday! Even the HGSS chapters. So far it has been my favorite arc, Dia is a great character, so likable.

[@ashingray6099]

I'm one of the lucky few that still has the original pokemon platinum game my mother bought me when I was younger, it still works but only if I click it in and out three times and then tap it gently, haha. That poor cartridge has been through so much, and the dreaded muddy puddle that I almost lost it in!

[@syrussanborn4416]

the psyspice joke had me giggling bc i just recently started watching him and multiple times ive had to go "what the fuck did i just hear" KJFGKJG

[@atison1562]

My favorite Pkm channel of all time and this series has been so fun to watch and follow

[@angellastra9587]

Diamond has good equipment and has potential for battles...But knowing him from reading the manga, he is not a character who likes Pokémon battles, much less for fun. He only fights when there is no other choice or he has to protect someone or something.

[@marsella527]

"D for Diamon and P for Pearl" ... yes, that's where my head was at...

[@derfinsniter5185]

on your previous runs, you mentioned in depth the manga, I loved that so much, learning the little stories, its the reason why your the only poketuber I currently am watching :>. would like if you could do more appreciate your work!

[@klumescribbles]

I just discovered your videos today and I love your little challenges. I am obsessed with the Pokemon Manga and seeing so much dedication and effort go into these videos makes me happy !

[@Enity-qb4gp]

I like how you let Lax deal the final blow lol. And also Regigas is crying in a corner I guess, even he is Diamond 6th Pokemon

[@robnpsi5170]

26:15 Rotom is built different, carrying both a berry and wide lens

[@do9man]

4:11 Me too Magnus, me too. 😅😅

[@humbertonavarro7694]

Love these videos, always make my lunch and entire day better keep up the great content

[@michaeldaniello9709]

It’s funny because pressing b on grotles evolution made him miss out on earthquake at 32 that’s tough lol

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Awesome video Forgot how tanky his team was His speech to Cyrus is reminds me of Ash's to Lysander in the XYZ anime

[@felixdogtraiser5046]

I love your videos! Next time play with Platinum's team! Besides, Munchlax is my favorite baby Pokémon ❤❤❤

[@kevinjackson8442]

In a realistic setting if diamond pulled up with 5 out of 6 Pokémon. Being weak to fighting I would be sick

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

DON NO!!!… he was the hero we never knew we needed… and certainly didn’t deserve 😢

[@obeytheturtle6797]

I subscribed for lax that almost made me cry

[@ennmoon]

I was thinking of you just yesterday! Not knowing anything about the manga, your videos are always great!!

[@SableyeBoi]

Loved the video and I love your channel and vids can’t wait for more

[@Manofsteel98-y3h]

Too bad regigigas is post game would be cool to see him there

[@CyberController-]

While I'm not too familiar with manga characters, I think an Emerald as Zinnia run would be cool. Let her actually catch Rayquaza this time.

[@Ozthegreatandpowerful-dp7yl]

I beg of u do Haretas team next Regigigas would be so fun

[@melzbellz7768]

I swear I love ur videos!!! I think ur the only person who nuzlockes with the manga teams (correct me if I'm wrong!!)

[@jordywatson1179]

Aye another one !

[@sunshower6560]

Would LickyLicky have not been able to survive two hits from Garchomp? It seems like a genuinely tanky Pokemon.

[@mayborneflower]

I just realized that you could’ve made it deathless by switching in Tru on Earthquake to bait Flamethrower after, then call in Kit to hopefully take both Flamethrower and Dragon Rush for the Ice Beam OHKO and then the rest of the battle plays out exactly as before.

[@KhangNguyen-ep5xp]

I still wanting the Dia's version of Torttera with special ability make razor leaf always crit like in the manga. They made Ash bond Greninja so i think it is fair game.

[@blacksheep7741]

You gotta use other pokemon you can always switch them out when you get the ones you actually supposed to have

[@ryann42]

torterra's moveset really lookin like my 7yo self's venusaur lmao. not using hm friends for sinnoh (bibarel goes crazy for those, btw) sure makes traversal.... interesting. still, glad you had a reason to give plat another honest try, these games are goated. excited to see lady plat and pearl when/if you get around to them

[@YourCasualPunk]

Awesome nuzlocke and goodbye don we will remember you

[@gamesworld996]

U r the best 😊

[@timmaia5082]

cool stuff my man

[@blackops9696]

Saturn is a guy. Not a girl. Btw since you enjoyed playing Platinum, do you think you can do a Nuzlocke playing as Hareta from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventures Manga? It is not the same as Pokémon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl Platinum. It’s a separate manga from the Adventure series.

[@woobatking]

Nice you should do white next

[@tedisonland2663]

Tru? that reminds me of true and the rainbow kingdom

[@Keydicken]

I gotta say, when I was a kid, I always liked characters when they were similar to me, and since Dia loved to relax, eat, and crack jokes, he became one of my favourite Pokémon Adventures characters. 😌 P.S. There is another Sinnoh-era Pokémon manga called Diamon and Pearl Adventure. Have you read it? It would be awesome to see a run with Hareta, Mitsumi, or Jun’s teams

[@do9man]

o7 for Don

[@PokeBrave]

26:15 wait, didn't you just say you gave Rotom the Colbur berry to reduce dark-type attacks? how did you give him the Wide Lens as well?
