HOW EASILY CAN YOU GET A 5-STAR TRAINER CARD IN POKEMON DIAMOND/PEARL?

Back in April of this year, I managed to get all 4 stars that you can obtain on your trainer card in Pokemon Firered and Leafgreen. That was a pretty rough challenge to take on, but generation 4 is a completely different type of animal. Today we're going to find out how easily you can get every trainer star in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.

I'm definitely among those 12 people impressed by a 5 Star trainer card

Hey wanna start a gang? I am one of them as well :)

that reminds me, the colors are different in HGSS, aren't they?

[@rayflyers]

English release. I don't remember if the other colors are different, but the 5-star card is still black.

thats why i did all my transfers in HGSS then just traded

i recall using platinum without any restrictions, nordic european edition tho i think it was just the same as the uk one if there even is a difference between any of the western copies thats also in english (dont remember if u could change language on these, might just be 1 copy for them all)

Thorium, palladium (which is actually slightly more expensive per gram then gold), tungsten(carbide) which is the strongest metal on earth. And what you could probabaly think of for the black card.

[@Venusupreme]

Can’t wait to see John have to find his old buddy munchlax, eh?

[@eddiemate]

He also has to look for a Feebas again. Not to mention how Diamond and Pearl have insane level requirements in each section when you’re probably not intended to be even half that level. It’ll be a while.

[@glam4663]

I would die before the first gym. You have your starter, bidoof, starly, shinx, kriketot, budew, magicarp, zubat, geodude, machop, the abra you get in trade, onix and I believe meditite. All of which need to be leveled up. The longest probably being machop to machoke or meditite to medicham.(yes, you get the old rod before the first gym. And if you thought that was tough, you need to find and evolve all possible pokemon found on trees, from the rare munchlax and aipom to the female combee and the Male and female burmy. That in itself will take an Eterna-ty.

Awesome to see you upload another video to one of the best Pokémon channels ever as you always go into detail about a lot of the more forgotten mechanics and always explain everything in a way that both hardcore and veteran players can understand in a very respectable way without insulting anyone’s intelligence so props to you for that keep up the great work with the awesome videos

You absolute madman! I found your channel this week and I've already binged half your videos. New fave pokemon channel for sure!

[@silvershadowjsh]

The amount of effort you put into each video is so admirable. I love how much detail you go into and you pretty much never miss a trick in terms of precision. Shame we didn’t see Forretress in your battle tower run through tho haha ;) Please keep up the great work!!

Remember, if you find a (!!!), that's a guarantee that the one you find is the rarest one, if the (!!!) appears, but Spiritomb doesn't show up, send your Pokémon back and try again.

I'll always remember seeing that trainer card level guide in the back of my Platinum guide... And never managing to complete it. Got three levels, at least- Pokemon contest, Elite Four, and Underground base. I was pretty bad at the Frontier, with only some silvers, and I was nine Pokemon away from completing the National Dex before I lost my card. Treecko line, Chikorita line, Regice and two others I've since forgotten.
