Ah man i wish they just did a Pokemon platinum rather then two separate games. Going to the distortion world was pretty fun

[@shadowsnake5133]

Could you imagine if that had vr? I know pokemon doesn't touch that stuff, but pokemon in vr would be wild, especially areas like that!

[@dthongdeng]

Be cool if where you put the slates in for the legendaries, you have to go through what you did for when you'd encounter it in other games.. so for Zapdos you're taken to the power plant and walk to where Zapdos is or The Distortion world you have to go through that "puzzle" to find giratina etc

[@masterwings50]

They want money tho

[@onyx3939]

they shound have done a "platinum episode" so theres a second story thing that takes u to turnback cave but instead of giritina theres a distortian world portal! it would have been rlly cool☹️☹️

[@AustinJohnPlays]

I just like to think of Legends Arceus as the Platnium of these games lol (jk. I know this makes no sense at all)

[@polar534]

I remember, back in the day before the internet was as big as it was, my brother and I had Diamond and Pearl. We had both sunk hours upon hours in it. He was further then me and I got bored one day and stole his ds and just explored around post game areas I didn't have access to yet. I wandered into the Spring Path and got lost in the cave system that it led me to. For some reason, even though I DESPISED caves as a kid (hated how the wild encounters stopped you every 5 seconds) I kept wandering around it because it was new. It was mysterious. As far as I or ANYONE I talked to back then knew, this cave didn't exist. It wasn't talked about. But it was ENDLESS. Every once and awhile I found a pillar but when I tried turning back I couldn't leave. So I kept going. And eventually I entered a room and I can't remember exactly but I could've sworn the music changed. The atmosphere felt different as if the cave itself had opened up. And there it was. A small sprite that blew my little mind. Because, in this cave that was endless, in this path tucked away by a part of the map no one ever went back to, there was a pokemon absolutely no one, and I mean it, no one knew about. I had been playing pokemon for years. I had friends who had been playing it for years. We had all sunken weeks of our lives into these new games, exploring every inch, catching every creature, finding every item. And yet, there it was. A 6 legged, winged bug-like sprite, slumbering away and waiting to be discovered. It felt like a fever dream almost. I checked the pokedex first, sure that at some point I must have not reached yet there was a clue to what this pokemon was, but there wasn't anything my brother was missing. No data entry yet to be discovered. I saved and reloaded to make sure I didn't somehow mess up his cartridge. When it was still there, I RAN to my brother to show him this brand new pokemon and he was just as astonished. He was two years older then me and in a different grade and NONE of his friends had heard or seen this creature before either. I remember him grilling me for awhile about where the hell I was in the game before I kept bothering him to go up to it and battle it. I was HANGING over his shoulder as he threw out his Lucario (his favorite pokemon) and we quickly figured out that while this thing looked bug-like, it was anything but and: It. Hit. HARD. Needless to say my brother did not stock up for his little sister to go spelunking her way through a cave and right into a boss battle. He slowly weakened the pokemon called Giratina as his team took some heavy damage. When he finally got it into the red he gave the DS to me. He had 3 great balls, 12 pokeballs and 1 premiere ball. It was not looking promising. We couldn't risk going and stocking up on items or pokeballs because I didn't even know how or why I ended up in front of this thing to begin with and knew I couldn't find my way back if I tried. Out of the two of us, I was known for being able to catch any pokemon in any ball. After all, when my brother had spent hours throwing balls at Zapdos in the power plant all the way back in pokemon Blue, I grabbed his Gameboy and threw one single pokeball where all his ultra balls had failed and caught it on my first attempt. Back then that was a true display of great skill, for greater then simple luck that I became known for. I was our only hope. I took a deep breath, knowing that it mattered just how fast I would be able to mash that B button and hold the down direction at the same time. And I started throwing. The ultra ball was no luck, and I was rusty, having walked through a cave all day instead of filling my dex. So of course it couldn't contain this great mystery. Great balls were my favorite ball of all so I saved them, knowing if push came to shove they would pull through for me. I threw out 5 pokeballs, only seeming to practice my technique as Giratina busted each and every one of them only to knock out even more of my brothers team. They were not looking healthy at all and a few more attacks would've ended up in a white out and this pokemon would've been lost to our memories and the disbelief of our classmates. I switched over to the great ball and now it was my brother's turn to lurch over my shoulder, his fingers digging into my arm as I prayed to the pokemon gods that I wouldn't let my brother down. The blue and red ball shook once, twice... 3 times. The legend was caught. I FORCED my brother to immediately trade it into my game so I could get it on my pokedex to prove to my friends this incredible, unbelievable, never before seen or heard of pokemon existed and that I was the one who discovered it! To this day, Giratina is still one of my brothers favorite pokemon and although I am not a legendary fan, that shadow ghost will always hold a special place in my heart because it reminds me that even when absolutely everything seems explored and all the answers are found, there are still mysteries just waiting for us out there. Waiting for a chance to turn into a legendary story and memory. Anyways, I cannot wait to enter this new twist and conquer that monsterous shadow beast to make my younger self proud.

[@jjab7996]

This is amazing

[@kingoffailsz]

Wish this had more likes lol the same thing happened to me, I found turn back cave and had no idea where I was until suddenly giratina showed up! I thought there was no way I could catch it, it was just a sprite, so I saved and cautiously approached and sure enough- my absolute favorite pokemon was there ripe for the catching. I caught her, and then told my friend to lend me their copy of diamond and caught her AGAIN, then named her after me lol traded it to my game and back so the name couldn't be changed. Pokemon diamond was such a great game and a great time, I'm glad i can recapture those memories through BDSP.

[@pokeamazing123]

What a beautiful memory, thank you for sharing!!

[@powerfusev2]

Feel like I just went on the journey with you, beautiful 😂

[@DamoonXlikeTheMoon]

That deserves a medal. Damn

[@NerdySideUpPodcast]

I wish they had done a delta episode style post-game based on giratina and the distortion world, like Cyprus goes again, gets the chain summons giratina etc, it would have made for such a good post game thing!

[@starvvoy]

leaker said there’s gonna be a dlc expansion so i wouldn’t be too sad

[@barryjennings9375]

I second that

[@PittsburghSonido]

@@starvvoy I hope they follow through on that. DLCs for Darkrai, Shaymin, Distortion World Giratina, and of course, Azure Flute Arceus. I’m so nervous they’ll release Legends Arceus and forget all about the gen 4 remakes. Please, let it happen.

[@spenserfarman3045]

I’m planning on getting Shining Pearl eventually to have both of the games in my collection again like I did when I had my DS and then get Legends to complete the set. I don’t even care about finishing the Pokédex in any of the games, unless it’s a necessity, I just like going through them and seeing what they did differently compared to past entries.

[@_Tzer]

They should have added an event which creates the azure flute by having giratina palkia and dialga in your party referencing what cynthia said in platinum that all 3 instead of the lake trio could summon the original one. Does anyone agree with me i wish it was a mod.

[@ZoeTwoDotss]

The secret to successfully catching it is announcing loudly "gabagool".

I love how getting the Manaphy Egg just gives you the Pokédex entry without ever hatching it.

[@RemLasher77]

It is the greatest yet weirdest feeling ever.

[@kenthurback2870]

this did not work for me i had to hatch it before i had an entry

[@CorynSilver]

One tip for Turnback Cave is actually to NOT go the same direction the whole time. You actually wanna just go to the closest/easiest to get to door to cut down on time. If its all random, there's no reason at all to no just go diagonal to the closer door.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

I think about it this way. If you're taking a test and every answer is a different multiple choice of 3 and you guess at all the questions, then the results are random. If you pick A for every answer, you have set results and about 33% correct. My argument is that if you pick a different door every single time, you have a theoretical higher and lower chance of not getting it within 30 than just picking the same one. Can a math professor let me know if this makes any sense? lol Maybe somehow related to the St. Petersburg paradox?

[@knivesexiled]

@@AustinJohnPlays I think this is only true if there is a known correct answer.

[@Ninjippo]

@@AustinJohnPlays ur correct. If u think of the right answer having a zigzag pattern to cover the equal random probability choosing the same answer would make ur answer and the right answer line up. Same concept as a broken clock being right twice a day

[@dylleealt]

@@AustinJohnPlays Not a math prof, but studied a fair amount of math in college, the odds are the exact same. One way to think of it is, in the first scenario both you and the answer key are random decision makers with a 1/3 chance of selecting A, B, or C and there is a 1/3 chance that your guess matches the correct answer (you can verify this as there are 9 combinations and in 3 out of the 9, you are correct: A-A, B-B, C-C). If you pick A every time, your guess is set but it is still a 1/3 chance that the selected correct answer matches your guess. Each guess/answer is independent and so in other words, these two scenarios are literally identical; your decision doesn't matter if you don't know what the answer is, whether you choose A, B, or C, at random, or in a set pattern, creates symmetrical sample spaces, and there is always a 1/3 chance the answer key "selects" the same one you do. What you might be thinking of is that the variance would be different, i.e. guessing randomly on a test means you are more likely to get 100% or 0% rather than just 33% but while this intuitively feels right, it actually isn't if the test answers are truly random (not coded so it's guaranteed to not repeat). And while I won't go into a full explanation, hopefully the explanation above that shows that the two scenarios are essentially identical + the fact that the variance of the sum independent random variables is the same as sum of the variances is enough to convince you that that isn't true.

[@allen2reckless676]

@@dylleealt so since the chances are the same but one way is faster then he other in terms of saving time then the commenters way is better choice because simply it’s faster?

[@kevindenis9551]

Origin Giratina looks so gosh darn cool here, really wish the distortion story was put in as the post game story line to make this encounter complete. Can imagine all the Pokémon and opponents being like level 70 and up to make it more challenging, with Giratina itself being level 100 at the end to give a truly epic final boss feel. And of course the orb that gives it the origin form would be the final prize at the end to top it all off. But oh well, just glad you can get the origin form in the game at least.

[@TheEvolution808]

[@Kraiglyndor]

Are the statues that spawn in the caves the same as the ones they give you for the secret base? If thats the case then I feel that they probably programmed it the same way as the other single room encounters, likely even copy/pasting the skeleton. It’s probably set up as clear room -> place statue/items. This brings up some questions: What happens if you KO the Pokémon instead of capturing it? Are the rooms programmed to be cleared if you beat the Pokémon wether or not it’s added to your box? What about if you release the Pokémon before talking to the guy? Is he programmed to check if you have it when you pass him? Is the guy programmed to give us the statue after capturing the Pokémon in the room and they forgot to put in an exception since it can’t be caught?

[@winstond7264]

Thanks. Got to agitating in less than 15 rooms doing this

[@chase1146]

I remember way back in the day just go right and you’d get the 3 pillars consistently right after the other

[@ashjose7973]

In the previous video, I commented where giratina? And boom Austin makes a video about it

[@colleenkluener7814]

All of these strats help alot thank u so much

For my first legendary shiny hunt it went really well for Giratina i think, got it in 287 sr

[@mandalorianhunter1]

I just did this and it allowed me to get Giratina without any issues. Each room right after was a pillar that led me to get to it

[@meatbicyclebuilt42]

No problem bro!! Love the content don't have a switch but nice to know what I'm missing out on lol

[@Luanfcn]

Here's me getting to Giratina on my very first try by NOT following Austin John's advice! 😂 I literally thought I would give it only one try before trying using his method and it worked!

[@hermanator157]

You guys remember when we searched for vids on how to find legends back in the old days? I remember trying to get the Regis back in Gen 3

13:45 The most *simple* yet the *best* explanation for unreleased Pokemon events ever made!

[@CL-lx2pm]

I wonder if the item ID for the Giratina statue is just a model ID for the upside down statue that appears in the distortion room

[@andyfletchxr]

“if your team isn’t level 66 then idk if you should be over here, anyways we’re gonna make our way..” lmfao the way you just flew through that made me laugh

[@xhillednation]

I just did it after watching this videos by going right and got the pillars back to back by going right... super lucky

[@Murasane]

I had the pokemon national dex book for sinnoh as a child and i remmeber in the book they had a complete guide for how turnback cave works and how to find the pillar each time. I don't have the book anymore unfortunately as it was destroyed in a flood a while back but there was a certain pattern to it from what i remember and it corrosponds to how the rocks are oriented iirc. Also when you do find a pillar i think there is a guarnteed chance that one of the next rooms will be a pillar and the book told me how to find it but again i dont recall exactly how it works

[@rubychan2288]

IIRC, in the OG games riding the bike increased the chances of entering a pillar room. No clue if it's the same in these games.

[@mattcroswell3120]

I just went to the right the whole time like you said and I got it in 6 rooms. The last three were all pillars 😂

[@ghostsandwich1867]

Congerts on hitting 1 million subs dude

[@richardgarfield6392]

I literally took the first right and went straight through each room after that, found a pillar in each one and bam there's Giratina

[@loubur2007]

Got Giratina on my first try, thanks!

[@Shadow-rz5pb]

In the original games there were numbers on the pillars which served as clues for the player to navigate the cave.

[@beetleR6]

I wonder if Dialga and Palkia have origin forms as well. Their designs look similar to Giratina's after it is summoned into the world so maybe Dialga and Palkia have more majestic forms as well.
