What made Diamond and Pearl so special is that many towns had multiple purposes. For example, Canalave hosts a library supporting all the knowledge of the region, but also has the ships and stuff for the trading. The Great Marsh is in a town made in a corner specifically to protect it. And so on... This game mixed myths and put them in every town, making them feel unique when you look around. Cynthia herself represents old and new, as based on her japanese name which is based on a flower that has some leaves that die and some that don't on the same stem. If there is a Pokémon game with the most meanings behind every single interactable NPC, object or Pokémon, it is Diamond and Pearl, and the best thing is that this is lore that is entirely optional, it enriches you when you go off the beaten pathway.

Also, because of the pervasiveness of the impossible trades that flooded the gts, Nintendo opted to simply ban ds and wii generation games altogether, rather than fix it via in game patching mechanism. It is impossible to complete the pokedex legally, because Masuda and Tajiri refused to distribute the events.

5:53 I already knew about this a while ago, but I still can't get over the fact that Pokephilia is basically canon in the Pokemon universe lmao

Isn't there a human egg group as well? You can technically procreate with certain Pokémon

Diamond and Pearl were meant to be the ultimate Pokémon game? Pokémon Platinum: Am I a joke to you?

[@slowpokefriedrice]

3:15 lmao to this day if I’m playing on my Switch in handheld mode or I’m on my phone, my dad will sneak up behind me and tap the shit out of the screen hoping that I’ll mess up in the game/app

[@TheLegendaryCazoo]

*Didn't You Know?* Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were actually based off of episode 656 of the Pokemon anime, where Team Rocket is hunting for treasure in caves. They exclaimed how they'd find "Silver, Gold, Rubies, Sapphire, Diamonds and Pearls, and Platinum" the names later used for the 4'th Generation Main games. This cave-based treasure hunt was also the inspiration for the spin-off series, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

[@Jdudec367]

wasn't that after? I mean was it in the gen 4 anime? if not...if before it could have just been a hint for what the next gen games would be called

[@Jdudec367]

ok actually they also talked about black and white which may have hinted towards the gen 5 games as I think that was in the gen 4 anime actually they said that

[@culturehub2628]

I loved every Pokémon in this gen had the least throw away Pokémon imo Gen 4.

[@RocktilleriTV]

These games were really cool. I say they should remake them. In fact, they're so good they deserve two remakes. Maybe one day...

[@Comuzzy]

Instead of a remake we got a bad fanmade game

[@c0mpu73rguy]

Aren’t you afraid that the remake’s quality might be low? I mean, the last good remake we got was Heartgold and Soulsilver during gen 4.

[@mylegislong6357]

c0mpu73rguy actually ORAS was good too

[@c0mpu73rguy]

MyLegIsLong Inferior to Emerald so no, it wasn’t a good remake, unlike FRLG and HGSS that all had improvements over their respective 3rd versions... In most part for FRLG, in every way for HGSS. ORAS have no Battle Frontier, only focuses on one legendary, took out the casino, didn’t kept the original sound option from the previous remake, included an off topic functionnality (Mega Evolution have NOTHING to do in Hoenn or outside of Kalos in general). No it wasn’t good. It was better than XY but it wasn’t good.

[@mylegislong6357]

c0mpu73rguy idk it’s all opinions at this point I’m a competitive battler and it was definitely good

[@MookalH]

So did you get it

[@xkennyPLx]

Gen 4 was brilliant. It took all the good things from Gen 3 and perfected them. I don't think any generation since then was as good.

[@ddsjgvk]

it didn't just stop with gen 3. It add stuff to Gen 1&2 Pokémon.

[@lindajackson8936]

I honestly think the series has been getting better since gen 3, but whatever floats your boat

[@staringcorgi6475]

Gen 5 was too linear and some of the pokemon are ripped off from gen 1 but gen 4 most of the pokemon have 1 evolution

[@starffruit]

Great games, definitely-but Platinum was MUCH, MUCH better. Platinum made so many different improvements and it’s great. It was my first and favorite Gen for years, but... Black and White 2 took hold of me.

[@deadturret4049]

Yeah platinum's gyms were way better and the game was just generally a lot harder than diamond and pearl. Easily my favourite in the franchise

[@astra2632]

Black and White were good but definitely not as good as gen 4

[@Marixchatt]

@@astra2632 Personally, Gen 4 was VERY slow especially D/P. Plantinum was okay. HGSS are VERY good. Bw and BW2 are good as well since they were so dynamic with wether and environment color.

[@supernaruto1001]

Best gen ,mechanics,story,world,content

[@mailowmailow5207]

no

[@Nate-ll4do]

It's really interesting hearing how they made small yet effective changes that resonated with a lot of people. Also interesting hearing how the designs were made to be "awkward" considering gen 4 had some of my favorite designs.

[@harrisonoakley2630]

You can actually still walk through the data of the game in the international releases. It was a bit harder for people to figure it out, but it is very doable and there are quite a few people still plotting out that glitch. It is called the "dark void" glitch.

[@tuney7319]

I love how everything in pokemon games is carefully designed to be for all ages, gen 4 having carefully designed battle ui so anyone can understand it, the pokemon themselves not looking too scary to let players befriend them more easily, the let’s go games having simplistic orchestrated music to fit in a family tv setting, it’s all so carefully done and i love it.

[@a.liguria2698]

Diamond was my very first pokemon game. Bought during a vacation in the mountains of Italy... good old times. And I can remember as if it was yesterday, during my first playthrough, my Turtwing and Kricketot evolved after the same battle.... something similiar never happened again...

[@TXFDA]

What sucks is that nowadays you can't trade online at all on the original DS games, and the 3DS Pokemon games have a fucked up GTS thanks to modders causing game/console crashes. I went to look for a simple Pichu in Ultra Moon the other day and my whole console froze.

[@samster101229]

How can an item like a flute be confusing? Flutes have been used in-game before to wake up Pokémon like Snorlax, but even if someone didn't know what it did they could research it. Nonethless, Diamond & Pearl was my first new gen Pokémon game and loved every moment of it!

[@essui]

I'd just like to appreciate whoever supplied the footage with the Psychic/Fighting Gallade nicknamed "Psythe"

[@WillKeaton]

Can I just say that Psythe is a great nickname for a psychic type. Then there's Acrobat, which is chuckleworthy. And they even show Splaart!!! and Buntd, from the Game Grumps playthrough.

I have so much nostalgia with the Gen 4 anime. I remember waking up around 6 o'clock only to watch a few episodes and after that i remember meeting with my friends and talking about what new adventure happend in an episode. I still know by heart the lyrics from the intro.

[@callumjdonovan]

They should return to the philosophy of making the ‘Ultimate Pokémon game’ for future games instead of cutting content each new gen.

[@ZekKen24]

There’s only one thing you need to know about DPP: *It’s the best gen in all of Pokémon*

[@devoutdesciple]

This was when GameFreak cared about games I guess.

[@ElectroBlastLuigi]

@Jessie Basham They've always cared which explains why people keep saying the company reached its peak at B2W2 and I can understand that. I can understand why you posted this comment.

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

@PikaCinema that logic makes no sense. By that logic toriyama still cares for Dragonball. There's a thing called greed my friend

[@devoutdesciple]

@@ElectroBlastLuigi Do not get me wrong. GameFreak loves their characters: the Pokemon themselves because the characters is what they franchise and sell as toys and cards. They do not care about the games as much as they do about the merchandise anymore due to the stupid large numbers of the amount they recieve for their goods far beyond the Anime and Videogames. Nowadays the games service as a commercial for the toys in the same like that He-Man, a cartoon TV series, serviced as a commercial for toys. If you service the toys and make your money though that, then the rest of your commercialized products DO NOT need to be up to standard as your competition. At that point, name alone can sell your products.

[@devoutdesciple]

@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 But... he does. Toriyama ALSO likes to make other things... like design Dragon Quest characters.

[@devoutdesciple]

@PikaCinema Actually, they need the games to get their foot in the door for literally everything else: the card game, anime, and ALL of the merchandise. The merchandise is the only reason why they have to release a game every year.

[@quintessences]

Platinum helped me learn English as a child being adopted

[@ItsNep]

I would like to point out that technically trading online was introduced in the Japanese version of Crystal, via an attachment for the GBC. Though I believe you had to pay for the service, and it only lasted about a year. Also, the areas with Shaymin/Darkrai were only "officially" available in Platinum, they went unused in D/P and the pokemon were instead just given out for those versions. The tweaking bug was also not fully patched in international releases, only the surfing glitch in the elite 4. There are still other ways to enter the void.

[@lucas-dz7fy]

Me: Excited for the video Video: Starts Music: Cynthia’s Theme

[@Fer_Silfore]

The “tweaking” glitch wasn’t removed from the international version. It changed to how to access the void. Instead of surfing, you have to use a bike in certain places, most notably jubalife city, to make the game unload certain chunks to then access the void to get to Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus

[@Alias_Anybody]

Most people don't even remember how they increased gameplay speed with every title from DP to BW significantly. The originals are a bit of a slog to play novadays.

[@JoseAlberto-dh8pf]

thats the reason i stopped playing

[@pedro-paint]

S/M were when things got out of hand. Level 80 pokemon battles don't feel like "colusus battles" anymore because the health bars drop so fast.

[@davidmcgill1000]

Can thank the changes to exp sharing for that. You were expected to be training your entire team linearly throughout the story so you never had to go grind.

[@Alias_Anybody]

@@davidmcgill1000 No. Movement is slow, battles are slow, saving is slow, everything's slow.

[@hexblex3272]

And then moving from DS to 3DS Pokémon games shows another huge difference. I still love them, but the DS games take so. long. to save.
