Let's Play All of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond

We've condensed my entire playthrough of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond on Twitch into one video. This includes every gym, every legendary, the postgame, the Sinnoh Pokedex, and so much nostalgia. Myself and my editor Cloé worked incredibly hard on this - it's the longest fully edited video we've ever uploaded! I hope yous enjoy it

Imagine this- a kid walks past you. You make eye contact. Time for a pokemon battle. He introduces himself as Dad. Your dad. How you doin son. Fine, you tell him. You throw out your ponyta. Your first pokemon and your best friend. You've been through everything with this horse. Your dad throws out his pokemon. It's a bidoof. Let's do this, GOD, he says. You feel relieved. Your ponyta isn't very high leveled, you only get to train between shifts, but there's no way this route 4 pokemon is higher level. He uses swords dance. That's weird, you think. That's pretty high level. You use flame wheel. He brushes it off. You get ready for the next round- you're fairly confident ponyta will be able to tank it, even with a swords dance, when- CRUNCH. In a blink of an eye your ponyta collapses. Dad watches as you collapse to your knees after her, clutching your head in your hands. GOD stands uncaring. There is no remorse. No regret. No reaction from the bidoof at all as you hand over this month's rent. Your dad walks away, GOD trailing behind him. Your ponyta lies silently at your feet. You're not sure how, but you think this is how you get Mew.

To be fair, keeping a pokemon dead the entire way through make an interesting challenge. If you lose all the pokemon, you revive the dead mon. You also lose a place in your party, so need to stratagize against that. Not sure about how PC boxes work, but if they work like in X and Y, you can't put them in and then heal the team, so you must constantly catch and level up new pokemon if they faint, or use revives once your far enough into the game.

[@DERADI30]

you can dip everyone but the dead pokemon into the pc to heal them. The challenge boils down to playing with one slot less on the team. Given that everyone used to have an HM slave on their team anyway this is basically identical to how any game prior to s/m played.

There are so many decisions that just baffle me The benefit of 3D models is that it's faster to make complex animations and such, but at the cost of less detail The benefit of 2D art (pixel or regular) is that it looks much more detailed, at the cost of making animating much more time and money consuming So to freeze a 3D model to emulate 2D art... It's throwing away the largest benefit of 3D models in an attempt to get nostalgia points... If you want 2D art then use 2D art.

[@notgoodatgames6804]

It CAN be done, just look at Darkest Dungeon 2. This pokemon game just didnt execute it well.

[@NerfPlayeR135]

What’s even more odd is that earlier full-3D generations had much better ways of doing this. 2D art _was_ used in Gen 6 for in-battle trainer sprites. Gen 7 used 3D models for in-battle trainers, but these models were visible during the cinematic camera between moves, and were also animated during intro and defeat. The Ultra duo took things even further and made the defeat animations loop; for example, the Tourists look down at their phones in despair and start tapping away at them when defeated. Both of these generations were on the 3DS, which is a _much_ less powerful console than the Switch. None of these advances from games past are present in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, despite being retained in Sword and Shield. The company assigned to work on the remakes (Game Freak was busy with Legends: Arceus) focused way too hard on the original Diamond & Pearl (hence why Flint has so few Fire-types on his team _again),_ and their lack of experience with Pokemon resulted in a lack of polish.

In Chinese belief, the world started as an egg called 混沌 (Chaos) then a being called “盘古” （PanGu）awoken in the egg. Getting Bored he use an axe to split the egg in half. One half become the sky, the other half become land. It was a great feat and PanGu “went to rest” from exhaustion.

Fun Fact: Arceus’ name for the english translation uses both “Ar-key-us” and “Ar-see-us”. The movie, Arceus and the Jewel of Life, uses the former pronunciation to avoid accidentally sounding like “arse”. The game, Pokémon Revolution, uses the latter. Since the movie came out after the game, technically the correct saying is “Ar-key-us”. That being said, I prefer the original “Ar-see-us” as it was the initial pronunciation and I think a lot of words have “ass” as as the starting sounds of other words that we use often, so why stop at “arse”?

[@TorrentialStardust]

Arceus’ is also derived from (among other things) something called the “Archaeus” in alchemy, which is usually seen as a wall that separates our world from more astral worlds like hell or fae realms depending on religion

Tbh I always assumed the reason why Cyrus gives you the Master Ball is because he was originally going to use one but then learned of the Red chain which is supposed to be even stronger than just making a temporary pact with Dialga/Palkia with a man made device where instead it gives you full control over their actions. Basically he had so much faith in this plan that he didn't care about the Master Ball as it wouldn't be as effective but it turned out that the lake trio could willingly break the red chain which was a factor he didn't expect.

I'm less than a minute in and already I can tell that Rowan is a timelord come back to see his dad in his prime as a pokemon trainer. Rowan is just Barry "Lad" confirmed. I will add more to this log as the story line unfolds. Dawn is just the apparent "Mom" character. The "Mom" is just Dawn from the future, joining her brother Barry "Rowan" "Lad". I can only predict what dark future occurred to Dad. Cheryl is actually blind. The player character sounds exactly like her father so she confuses him for her dad. They are not in space. Dad is unknowingly caught in the actual time stream by Barry "Rowan" "Lad" who is trying to save his father's life. Team Galactic uses it to bring the worse threat to their team aside from Cynthia out of the timeline to win. Due to the rifts in the time stream, the multiple worlds is fracturing more and more. The universe is now unraveling, giving us more hints as to Dad's fate. Riely is actually Dad's first child. He explored Iron Island and died in the mines. He haunts his dad as a constant reminder of Dad's sins and neglect. Pokemon Anxiety and Depression confirmed for 2025. When reading all the books, it is clear that Barry "Rowan" "Lad" has summoned Arceus "God" and Dialga to keep fucking with the timeline to save Dad. Rowan has erased Looker and his own timeline. What a good son. By realizing the power of GOD, Dad changed the timeline and left Dawn to train. The timeline changes again. Barry "Rowan" "Lad" knew the present Lad was ok since he was still alive. After all, a timelord knows all. And knows how to fuck with it too. Cyrus is just Riely from a slightly different timeline. He has used the fractured timelines to enter this one and get revenge on Dad for abandoning him and showing favoritism to Barry "Rowan" "Lad" Dawn and Jefferson. Cyrus is trying to find a timeline where Dad loves him. After enough effort, Sirus just decides to rewrite a timeline. Barry "Rowan" "Lad" wants you to master Dialga to reform the timelines after he fucked them up. Upon maximizing GOD's efficiency, Dad has mastered the timeline, reforming it under his protection. He rewrote destiny. After beating Cynthia, it is clear she is Dawn in her middle age before becoming the “Mom” character. Cynthia is from later in the timeline so the actual line is still fucked. By using GOD powered Pokeballs and a fucked timeline, Dad was able to capture the Regis. He is now hunting for a timeline where Reggie Fils Aime is in the game. His body is ready. Upon getting Giratina into a poke ball, Dad had reset the timeline. Hence why we never see Rowan or Cynthia again. Marley is just flirting calling him Dad. What am I writing? Help me. Please. Buck actually doesnt understand how names work so just calls him Dad too. I dont know why I’m writing this either and not sure how names work myself. My claiming every legendary, Dad has fixed the multiverse and completely avoided his own dangerous fate which caused Barry “Rowan” “Lad” to become a timelord. The fucking hell did I do?

2:08:47 Fun Fact: one of honchkrow's abilities it can have is Super Luck, which gives increased crit chance. Night slash also has a higher crit chance to begin with, and is STAB boosted. Same thing with air cutter; STAB boosted, high crit chance, increased crit chance if his honchkrow has super luck.

[@hotscottrulz]

If I can add to this fun fact, if you get a Pokémon with the Super Luck ability (including Absol, Honchkrow, Unfezant, and Togekiss), teach it a move with a higher crit chance like Slash, Air Cutter, Night Slash, or Karate Chop, and give it an item which boosts crit chance such as the Razor Claw or Scope Lense (or Lansat Berry, but that’s single use), then you can get 100% crit chance. Essentially, that move will always critically hit, unless the crit is blocked by the move Lucky Chant or a Pokémon with the Battle Armor or Shell Armor ability.
