I Beat Pokemon Platinum with a team NO ONE has used

[@hoennfanboy]

Poketube is very oversaturated with "can i beat x game with *insert gimmick here*?" to the point of monotony and it irritates me for no reason, but this here is a simple concept, yet invested me and excited me to see how you strategized with the underdogs. Great content and your jokes arent corny, i wish i could like this video twice 👍🏻👍🏻 (Sorry about this comment sounding very 🤓, just wanted to leave some engagement) (Also it would be an honor to be one of your pokemon's nicknames)

I bet, yeah someone told me to do a six slugma run on another video.

[@syfyky]

Platinum was the first game I caught a shiny as well. It was a shiny bronzor. I had no idea what shinies even were at the time. I saw it and my 9-year-old brain was like, "Ew, why he look like throw up" and so I nicknamed him vomit. I didn't learn he was shiny until months later when I showed my cousins at a family reunion and they were all like "WTF, how did you find one already!" 😂

I used a Lumineon once when I was a kid in Pokémon Battle Revolution. I didn’t know how to bring mons from DPP so I just used rental teams and in one of the stadiums you could trade mons with the opponents permanently. I had never seen Lumineon before so I traded it and beat the game with it. I didn’t get to the super bosses of course but the regular game was very fun and I kind of have a soft spot for it in spite of never really seeing outside of being the forgotten Pokémon. Platinum is still to this day my favorite game and I use Lumineon from time to time even though it’s not that good. Thank you for reminding me of one of my childhood favorites

Cyrus apparently was the victim of familial neglect and also got separated from the Rotom that was his best friend, so he devoted himself to machines in order to feel close to something.

Love seeing this as i love using more unconventional teams that arent necessarily bad but are comprised of mons you dont see that often. Im sick of seeing the standard starter/staraptor/luxray/floatzel/garchomp/lucario team lol. Gimme PorygonZ, Rampardos, Octillery, Medicham (which btw are all insanely fun to use, def recommend), just whatever random mon that at least doesnt have Kricketune level garbage stats and movepool lol. I replay Platinum a lot, always ditch the starter, and the game has a great variety of pokemon that allows for a fun unique team for many, MANY playthroughs. Cant say the same for HGSS; i struggled making a team for my bloody second playthrough that i liked! Edit: i think of the team you used, i only wouldnt use Pachirisu and male Combee. I dislike Pachirisu as a pokemon and Combee is just too garbage man, props for sticking with it lmao. Would use Purugly but its not available normally, have used Chatot and Carnivine, and plan on using Lumineon for either my next playthrough or the one after.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Oh yeah, Lumineon is definitely worth the grab, such a solid mon but I completely agree. I love the odd mons, there's a few that I wish I could have on the team as auxiliary mons, but that makes the video a little too bulky

[@shoopwoop3470]

lol thanks, such an underrated gem

[@Kepsin]

Going with a male Combee is crazy

[@shoopwoop3470]

Yea it was kind of rough at points

[@Kanto141]

Nice team! I always use a Luminneon and Patsurishu on my play through^^

[@shoopwoop3470]

They're definitely awesome! I liked learning how to use em

[@black-velvet98]

I remember that fish, even if I may not remember the name because it was the last one I needed to complete my Pokédex back in the day 😂

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hahaha, yea and it's not in an easily memorable place when you first get access to it

[@OkamiRissi]

this reminded me so badly of the times I replayed Pokemon diamond with new teams each time I still very vividly remember a run I only used blue pokemon on mixing up the pokemon to use always makes it a good time

[@shoopwoop3470]

Oh for sure, it's just a fun way to play, it makes me think of the times that I would imagine myself in the anime, and what Pokemon I might catch

[@VoltzyVoltz]

Carnivine is actually my favourite grass type from gen 4. Even tho he’s really weak, i have a soft spot for his design and i hope he can get some more recognition someday

[@shoopwoop3470]

Yea, I hope he gets a mega or something, if Tangela can get one, so should carnivins

[@MangaBear]

Carnivorous plants need a bug eater abilities to make bug do not very effective dmg to them imho

[@damonrichardson1999]

Good on you for not using Luxray, Staraptor, and Infernape like every basic person that plays the Sinnoh games. I gotta say, Glameow is a good early pick. I like seeing different teams in the Sinnoh games, especially ones that are generally overlooked. I feel like Lumineon and Purugly are pretty good with the right set up.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Honestly Lumineon was great, water type (aside from the last gym) is just a pretty great type to have in this game, and if you don't have Swampert then Lumineon is a great backup

[@MagnezoneSH]

I played Shining Perl with Kricketune, Seaking, Medicham, Purrugly, Torterra and Honchkrow. It was a bit hard sometimes but I had a lot of fun!

[@shoopwoop3470]

Wowwww what a team, that is definitely not an often used lineup

[@tsholts5173]

As someone who's used Bastiodon before, I feel ya. That thing took forever to train up. I did actually use Biberal one time recently not as an hm slave, and it was a ton of fun. It put in work early and late in the game, but slows down a lot during the ghost, water, and fighting gyms

[@shoopwoop3470]

Ooff yea ghost water and fighting would be wiiild, but late game you also have to worry about electric no? Unless it learns some good ground stuff

[@tsholts5173]

@@shoopwoop3470 Well besides that, it held its own better than I thought it would. Water type for Byron, and teach it Iron Tail for Candice if needed. And then pretty much use it as you did with Lumineon in the E4

[@austinsager912]

Fun script and great video! Keep going

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hey thanks for the supporrt homie!

[@Pokeplan]

The Glameow makes me very happy. I'm doing a Randomizer Nuzlocke, and one of my MVPs is Purugly

[@shoopwoop3470]

Purugly is a G, really came in clutch for me, it's speed is just incredible

[@Pokeplan]

@@shoopwoop3470 i think it's so funny that like not even a day after i wrote this comment purugly died on me

[@chrisnengel7520]

Back when I was a child, I played with a Lumineon as a tribute to my younger sister. That fish carried me through half the league!!!

[@shoopwoop3470]

Glad to hear, that fish IS awesome!!

[@chrisnengel7520]

Yep! I never forgot it! It's been 16 years now since the little fish that could triumphed over Bertha and Flint all by herself!

[@reclaimer2950]

Loved the critical from Hyper Voice to end it

[@shoopwoop3470]

Chatot was really pulling some awesomeness at the end

[@stmddo1994]

I just realized that "Goku" Infernape and "Vegeta" Luxray are the aces (sub-aces in Platinum) of Flint and Volkner, two major trainers that were rivals. I dunno if that was intentional on Game Freak or your end, but that's still pretty cool.

[@shoopwoop3470]

It was semi-intentional on my end, but that's if it was intentional on GameFreak's end then they are deeper thinkers than I have given them credit for

[@Texascowboy68]

No chatot’s pokedex entry is the “people make me say swear words Pokemon”.

[@shoopwoop3470]

oyea you're right

[@dadm5536]

Carnivine is unironically my favorite pokemon and I'm so glad he made it in here

[@shoopwoop3470]

absolutely, I almost didn't include him because James has one in the anime, but I figured that he isn't as iconic as victreebell in that regard so I felt like it was a safe choice

[@dadm5536]

@shoopwoop3470 I would say he's underrated but he really isn't lmao, great video overall!

[@a-s-greig]

Grass-type Levitate is swag.

[@milesrodger3724]

This has mad potential dude

[@shoopwoop3470]

Thanks homie!! I sure hope so, current vids taking a while, but it's a little bit different in concept

[@twistedtornado5]

Great video! I actually used a Carnivine on my Legends:Arcues team.

[@shoopwoop3470]

I still haven't played LA, I know I should I just haven't gotten around to it

[@HisSpaceCowboy]

That’s funny , I used all these pokemon in my main teams LMAO

[@shoopwoop3470]

Have you really?? a Male combee in a main team is wiiild, but power to ya

[@bloemkoolendestreetgang450]

Male combee is a step too far man

[@piemonsterart4220]

Chatot was one of my favourite Pokémon when I was little and yes it was on my team at the elite four

[@shoopwoop3470]

It's such a GOATd mon, I loved it during the playthrough

[@revalentinemashups510]

I've actually done a run with a similar idea to this one! I had half the team you did, but instead of the cat, the flytrap and the bee it caught, i had the honorable mention of kricketune, as well as chimecho and cherrim. I think I beat Cynthia first try but I used a couple heals (not overdoing it though) and barely beat her with Chimecho still alive. Cool to see someone did the same idea! "Wally"

[@shoopwoop3470]

Whoa whoa whoa that's some crazy talent to beat Cynthia with that team! And I know I didn't even realize I was saying the wrong name until comments started telling me lol

[@TheStarsUniverse]

I once found a shiny male combee on my childhood pokemon pearl save. Its sparkle did not save it from being boxed, but he was a cool dude for a while.

[@shoopwoop3470]

In gen 4 tho you can definitely use one shiny to farm others

[@shainaborja]

damn that hyper voice crit mattered, what an amazing run

[@shoopwoop3470]

It really did matter, I might've given up after a few more attempts

[@sheldoman]

I used Pachirisu in my playthrough of Brilliant Diamond (with an otherwise pretty good team) and he was the only one that could take down Cynthia's Milotic (who almost destroyed my whole run). His thunderbolt was weak but he had super fang and that move was crazy helpful to whittle her Milotic down.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Ohhhh I didn't even think about super fang, that would have been super useful

[@demonmangafighter9044]

Simisage(BW2 and XY) and archen(Oras only and sadly as kid) both the anime and the games made me love them both despite how hated they are. They are and will forever be my favourites i had fun using them when played the games

[@shoopwoop3470]

I don't think I every really gave BW2 a fair shot, I was just worn out from the first game, since I only played em originally on emulators, but I remember not liking any of the sages

[@blueocten]

7:05 - if you ever make a best of/out of context clip compilation, this needs to be one of them.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Lolll yea dropping someone in on any type of comment that's like 'but enough about, ' is kind of a vibe

[@YaiYun]

Chatot is amazing in later gens given it can get nasty plot - used it in a draft league once and it claimed a few kills people didn't expect 😂 the design itself is elite

[@YaiYun]

Although him in mystery dungeon kinda sucked

[@shoopwoop3470]

Never played the MD games, but, if I were to play em which one do I play first? Just in order or what?

[@YaiYun]

@@shoopwoop3470 hmm - honestly i played Red and Blue, Time Darkness and Sky only. The older ones may come off as a bit of a slog compared to the newer ones. I recommend Sky as it was the most interesting tbh

[@Trollo5531]

This Vid is cool Dude, Keep Up the Good work :)

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hey thanks for the support homie!!

[@Breaks4days]

Commenting for engagement, amazing video😎

[@shoopwoop3470]

Awesome thanks for the support!!

[@liammccoy385]

I actually used Pachirisu in my platinum playthrough recently (named it Sejun Park because duh) and I really enjoyed having it on my team. Turns out the silly squirrel is actually kinda op sometimes

[@shoopwoop3470]

Well, it is a world champ after all. though i didn't know that before i made the video lol

[@xgottsegenx1564]

Mystery Men reference in the year 2024. Let's go!
