Pokémon Diamond Intro

Sinnoh and Hoenn had fucking godly intros. I loved the silhouettes and the shining they had to them

[@user-rm8by9fm]

@@taiheart37 I half played ruby when I was rly young but thats cause my brother had it. My first pokemon game I played independantly was diamond and pearl. Then I went on to play hg/ss and black and white. I stopped after black and white

Does anybody get chills when listening to the end, or is it just me?

[@morganeviry5501]

Me too!

[@MustacheDLuffy]

Actually the ending is the azure flute theme which plays when you’re about to catch arceus, that’s intentionally put there

[@Gioological]

It'll forever give me chills bro.

I absolutely adore how when you play the flutes in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, they play the first couple notes of the intro theme, and the Azure Flute even plays some extended notes.

[@medjed24]

Even more, the little jingle that plays when you rank up in Legends: Arceus also comes from this intro! I think it's cool

[@dez5894]

I just got Arceus, I noticed when you press start it sounds the same as the diamond start up. How far do I have to get to play these flutes? Or is it a spoiler?

[@montiguy0255]

The ending of the intro scared me a little bit when I was a kid playing this game... but I had good times playing this game, I can't believe I lost it though ;-;. At least I found Pokémon Platinum that only cost 15 dollars at the flea market! And it worked perfectly.

[@sparksthedaytrader9606]

2Fast4SONIC are you sure the platinum isn't fake? Just check since I would hate to find out if my platinum is fake. Also because the save file is more susceptible to corruption

[@JTheMelon]

The intro scared me as a kid, but now it just makes me nostalgiac. ;-;

[@montiguy0255]

sparksthedaytrader It is not fake, I actually did found a copy of the game from the flea market 3 years ago and it works just fine.

[@busymike]

It is scary. lol

[@ithinkabout4369]

The way in which the protagonists walk slowly in this intro (compared to them running in Platinum's intro) seems like an expression of Diamond & Perls dreaded slowness compared with Platinum.

[@2009kirby]

True, but personally I always thought the slow power walk in this intro was an epic touch! :)

[@roseymatilda745]

Diamond and Pearl walked so Platinum could run

[@Quetzalcoatl-Dragon_97]

Platinum wasn't as good plot wise and the art change felt weird.

When I was 8, I used to listen to this over and over through my headphones in my DS while trying to sleep. I was having a rough night tonight, so I decided to try it again after 10 years. It actually made me feel calm and tired with the nostalgia. I think I can sleep now. Thank you.

[@MarcoS-mb9df]

Still epic and creepy at the same time that the theme that plays at title screen is the Hall of Origin theme and sounds even more distorted than the original

[@DurandRhisham]

I knew i recognized it in Legends, the flute sound is the little trill at the beginning of the video

[@TAGanimation]

2006 was my first year of high school. Coming from a small rural high-school, I'm pretty sure I was the only kid who bought the game (not that I've ever spoken to anyone about it). Everyone seemed pretty indifferent and pretty past the pokemon craze at this point. But inside me, my "pokemon steam" wouldn't stop running for another year or 2. I just kept it quietly to myself and played it at home, lol

[@GalaxyGamerJayde]

Good memories being either 6 or 7 years old playing this game. This was one of the first ever video games I played. My brother gave me his DS Lite and I think a few days later he gave me this game along with some other games. This was my 1st ever Pokémon game and my favorite pokémon game.

[@TurboPikachu]

0:22 through 0:32 is one of the hardest-hitting intro-sequences, musically, that the Pokemon franchise has ever had. I really miss that sort of dramatic gravity the series once held...

[@Casur1N]

It sounds so somber and menacing, along with the logo using just black and white colors. Love it

[@ixac_]

I'm just here to remind myself of how nearly this entire theme was remixed upscaled and used in so many places in pokemon legends Arceus. God. It truly is THE remake. Bdsp was just a remaster.

[@GameBreaker1055]

It starts of heavy, then becomes very light harder just to throw an even heavier melody at you.

Gosh...remember when entire generations of pokemon were filled with multiple games and addons that just made the experience better? Gen 3 and Gen 4 was where it that was the best I think. This intro brings back thos memories.

This intro is my favorite out of all the Pokémon games; usually you get an action cutscene of Pokémon battling or flying on screen, and maybe a chipper tune during the opening cutscene, then the Pokémon theme song on the title screen, but here you just get the title theme during the intro then it turns sinister when it shows Mount Coronet, and then ambient Arceus noises on the title screen It sets a very different tone than the others and I love it

when/if they reveal the diamond and pearl remakes, they NEED to start by replicating the start of this intro, the part with he low pitched sound and when the logo comes on screen.

When I got this it was with my lil sister and my cousin, I got diamond, my sis got pearl and my cousin got diamond as well. We decided to pick different starters each, they got turtwig n piplup so I was left with chimchar not my first choice but I learned a very helpful big thanks to it in the game. Chimchars leer doesn't work how it's supposed to, it traps pokemon in battle instead of lowering defense. Because of this I captured Abra right before the first cave leading to the first gym. I even used the same bug to capture an Abra in platinum.
