Pokemon Platinum random map races are INSANE

Pokemon Platinum but all of the warp/loading zones in the game are RANDOM. Enter a Pokecenter? you might end up in a random house, a gym, or even the Arceus encounter. EazySpeezy challenged me to a race--can I beat all 8 gym leaders and elite four members before him?
Thanks to EazySpeezy for streaming with me! Go check him out, you won't regret it :D / eazyspeezy
Thank you to: AtSign, XLuma, and Turtleisaac!

Huge thanks to EazySpeezy for playing around this randomizer with me! The randomizer tool is available for anyone to download at discord.gg/pointcrow. This is the second release, Pokemon Emerald is available already and we're working hard to release every other generation too :)

Fun fact: Dialga and Palkia have the same catch rate as a Chatot

[@explosify5035]

well they have a high catch rate for legendaries, only 30. compared to Giratina with a rate of 3. they were made to be easy to catch. which makes it even more funny how long it took Speezy to catch Dialga or Palkia

[@solidzack]

Halfway through the video I thought it would be hilarious if he somehow got access to a Super Rod catch a Level 90+ Magikarp and stomp the entire game with a Level 100 Gyarados. And he actually does it what a madlad

[@DrDrao]

Since he already had dialga, it probably wasn't worth it.

[@solidzack]

@@DrDrao well Gyarados fainted at one point it's good to have a backup plan I guess also less trips to Pokémon Centers. But mostly it's just to flex with a Level 100 Pokémon before the Elite 4

[@DrDrao]

@@solidzack He coulda just master balled the palkia if he needed a backup. Woulda saved a route, the fishing time, and stuff.

[@testerwulf3357]

@@DrDrao I mean clearly he didn't need the extra time! Plus I think he just didn't want to catch both. I think a lvl 100 gyarados was probably the faster play anyways as it's higher level and took out basically everything.

[@DrDrao]

@@testerwulf3357 It's too much of a time investment for a pokemon he didn't really need. He won, but I'd still call it a bad play.

[@johnnyshortfor]

“You know where to go” is the new “ghost place left”

[@iantaakalla8180]

The worst part is that “ghost place left” is more concrete a hint because there is only one exit in Mt. Pyre’s inside that is to the left rather than top left.

30%, and yes definitely.

[@jambo6683]

I swear back when I knewst to play this, when I tried to catch legendary pokemon, I had to make it have 3% maximum hp while paralysed and it still took at least 20 ultra balls to catch it... Did this happen to anybody else?

[@Trashanna]

Legendaries are still hard to catch with a super low catch rate, pointcrow was just super lucky in this case 😅 and EZ had to restart for like 15 minutes straight to catch it.

[@glowstonelovepad9294]

I did a speedrun of a Pokemon Emerald map randomizer that I already completed (I must defeat every Gym Leader in order, every Elite Four in order, and the Champion), so I know where everything is. It still took me 2 hours and 13 minutes to beat. It took me about 10 minutes to find an Abra on Route 116 for Teleport, and the champion battle against Wallace also took about 15 minutes, since I kept having to soft reset. I was using a Lugia that I caught with a Master Ball.

[@Perceptious37]

this is so fun with the pokemon randomizer rolling random legendaries on static encounters.

[@Arceaus98]

So what would happen if one of the gyms got locked behind the exit doors of an Elite 4 member? Or can the randomizer account for that and block certain connections from happening?

[@gemmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I think the exit doors are locked until you beat that member, so it must be excluded from the randomized as an option

[@reefb6292]

pretty sure the exit doors just lead back to the gate u went through to go yo the elite four in the first place

[@Arceaus98]

@@reefb6292 Well that's the problem, you can't go through the exit doors without beating the Elite 4 member, and if the doors lead to a gym you can't get to the gym without going through the doors. That's why I was asking.

[@Mikiiiiiiiiiip]

@@Arceaus98 If i’m not wrong they have accounted for all these in the randomizer. The only time where that kinda happened was in the early stages in the first race between Ant and Crow where Drake was stuck behind Waterfall

[@lisahenry20]

I think the randomizer makes sure you can beat the gyms and elite 4 in order, although earlier versions of the randomizer may have bugs or overlook some softlocks or blocked routes.
