The underground was one of my favourite parts of Sinnoh as a kid - the children yearn for the mines, as do the Welsh.

[@Imnotbakonguyy]

As someone he is welsh lives in a small town in Wales’s I can agree we do also I think sinnoh should’ve been based off wales.

[@MightyMinty]

As someone who is also Welsh we really do yearn for the mines

[@Imnotbakonguyy]

@@MightyMinty don’t you think sinnoh should be based off wales?

[@MightyMinty]

@@Imnotbakonguyy sinnoh has more connections to Wales then galar does so probably

[@MarbleOceans]

As a Welsh I was delighted to see a joke like this out of nowhere lmao

[@handoverthestromboli6715]

"They call me Mr. Goods" 3:40 cold asf way to introduce yourself to strangers

[@IllusioneTempus]

The tons of pale/prism spheres from your childhood is such a mood tho

[@thatguysagittar]

I've never even considered that there could have been event only secret base decorations in gen 4 before, those were super cool to see. Also seeing you pass ACE to another game was super unexpected and I cannot wait to see what happens with that in the future.

[@Thaddeus_Crews]

6:40 I had no clue it was possible to get multiple fossils in one digspot!

[@SirToastyToes]

@@Thaddeus_Crews Across all 100 fossils it only happened four times (one of them I didn't have the moves because I dismissed the possibility and dug up a Fire Stone instead)

[@delphoxhoopa7289]

Platinum has always been my favorite Pokemon game because there's so many new things I discover even after multiple playthroughs. I spent hours playing capture the flag with my sister as a kid when she still played them. Now I've recently gotten the third star on my Trainer Card after claiming 50 flags thanks thanks to having two systems. There's so many fun little things in this game, and I always enjoy finding them.

[@MrCheeze]

Pretty hilarious that you have to not just ACE, but RCE, to achieve full completion in a game.

UNDERGROUND UNDERGROUND UNDERGROUND UNDERGROUND

[@PinkFreakCrystal]

I've been waiting for this for awhile now, considering no one talks about the secret base in Gen 4. Thanks so much for explaining it, now it's time for my own journey to get everything in my 100% Platinum run! ^_^

[@wernt0]

Now to do it again with the jade statues in BDSP

[@evanvollbrecht541]

Very fitting to use Porygon as the payload Pokémon…

[@shiny9690]

brb unlocking that lucario doll and living my best lucario life i hope you hit your 100k milestone goal! you've been legitimately one of my favorite youtubers lately in production quality and you more than deserve it!

[@atomappease8843]

Yoooo it’s that one meme about gambling

[@BigRigCreates]

We makin it out of the Underground with this one 🔥🔥🔥

[@sharp4174]

off topic, but why does your platinum game have a chain of 93 luxio on it? did you really catch 3 boxes worth of luxio?

[@SirToastyToes]

As a kid I did a luxio chain just to see how long I could go, I don't think I was even catching them

[@JeremyHamel]

I say this on every video of the series, but thank you for putting this together. I never had time to do these big collection challenges, but I get to enjoy what it would be like thanks to you. Stay Toasty!

I LOVE THE UNDERGROUND IN DPPT YESSSSSS CHILDREN YEARN FOR THE MIIIIIIINES

NEW TOASTY VIDEO

[@OsirusIrdia]

In regards to the 100 fossils, you do not need to wait weeks to get enough nodes for 100 fossils. You can bury sphere (up to 100), then nodes are more likely to appear around where you buried the gem. I was able to get 100 fossils this way by since this method yielded a lot of nodes per in game day. The time skip also works so I completed this in 3 real life days. I also tried to get them all but the only one I'm missing is the globe because I don't currently have a way to connect to wifi without a password.

[@SirToastyToes]

It took weeks because I got unlucky getting Fossils even from the tons of nodes around my sphere stash, if I could do it faster I would haha

[@ronk475]

God, these niche topics about Sinnoh feed my soul. Great work Toasty, I gotta get around to grinding these out myself!

[@OsirusIrdia]

At 11:23 you forgot to say the turtwig doll when going over all items purchasable with green spheres

[@SirToastyToes]

@@OsirusIrdia I skipped it because I got mine from the Underground Man earlier in the video but wanted to have it out as that's not the case for all players :)

[@AllergyPuppy]

I didn’t play gen 4 until I was an adult (it happened to come out when I was 13 and thought I was too cool to enjoy things) but when I did finally play platinum as an adult I had to force myself to stop playing the mining mini game so I could actually beat the game. It sucked me in for reasons beyond my comprehension

[@hellspawn32x66]

Thumbnail game on point again

[@deathwizard1996]

The underground base was pretty cool and fun to see. It was impressive to see what items in the base.

[@thoopsy]

Thanks for sharing!!! I've always been enamored with that Manaphy doll, since it's my all-time favorite Pokemon and I collect real life ones. I might need to learn ACE to get one! :D Fantastic video, very interesting.

[@Masterge77]

It's actually a bit sad that this was the last generation to have decorations, though when you really narrow things down, they always had some BS means of obtaining them all. Plus when it came to multiplayer functionality, most players only focused on trading and battling, so it's unsurprising why they stopped having decorations after Gen 4.

[@2810Mad]

I honestly never remember even knowing what decorations were as a 12 year old. Like you said, I focused on collecting pokemon not furniture.

[@Masterge77]

@@2810Mad Yeah, everyone focused on collecting the Pokemon and not furniture, which is probably why they got rid of this feature altogether.

[@KirbPlatinum]

toast you never disappoint when comes to silly and bizarre challenges in Pokemon games, keep up the good work!!

[@Mito383]

I would love to have a modern Pokemon game that has the underground but with the *actual* decorations instead of crappy statues.

[@thisismyaltaccount4195]

Fantastic video! I spent so much time in my platinum secret base as a kid, and it's really great to see this kind of earnest effort being put into showcasing lost content, and the love you have for these games. Can't wait for the next video!

[@jamesstone404]

I’ve been playing platinum in conjunction with a Heart Gold shiny playthrough & using the underground to farm resources/money, so I have found a lot of the decorations, but since I only have platinum & not another gen 4 sinnoh title, I guess my boulders will have to remain intact.

[@thoopsy]

Oh, another thing I didn't know. You can bury Spheres on top of each other?! This combines them, but it's not straight addition, you lose some of the number in combining them. I've been using this when I'm out mining and I don't want to just throw away everything I just got. Even though it doesn't matter, it's kinda disheartening to leave a sphere because your bag is full...

[@Notschlogie]

Oh shit this is gonna be good

[@Following1000]

Since you've clearly been doing a lot of underground stuff, can you answer a few questions I have about it that I can't find info about? When do the shiny spots in walls reset? Are there a limited amount of them per day? Do they appear more in areas where spheres have been buried? Thanks for another video! I love these deep dives into decorations and ribbons!

[@SirToastyToes]

As far as I'm aware it's a set amount spawned at midnight. They only appear on the map when you approach them, but you can see where they all are with the Treasure Radar on the underground PC

[@bapho-p]

Getting 100 fossils feels like such a task in it of itself... Replaying Diamond a year ago, I was trying to gun it for a cranidos to do the ribbon challenge with, and *4 days* of mining got me zip, zero, nada. The fact you got 100 is astounding to me.

[@droomish1]

this was great! really one of your best. and very cool to see the unused decorations, that magnezone doll would go so hard in a real life house

[@louis2827]

Wake up babe, new Pokémon Sleep ribbon just dropped.

[@Chermth]

reminds me when i set out to grab one of each statue in BDSP

[@Mystaldi]

Great video!! I have so many fond memories of the Gen 4 underground and enjoyed revisiting it with these fun decorations :D

[@dizzy_eevee]

ok i'm only 2 minutes into the video but the having pokemon ranch running in the corner is a cute idea...

[@Shapio]

hey, cool video! I'm doing the same thing in my Platinum. trying to get as many achievements in that game as possible. got a legit living dex, and just got all the trade decorations recently. some of those contests ones and the like are certainly going to be a bit tougher 😅

[@hollytheanimalcrossingfan]

I loved the underground feature. Sad how they ruined it in bdsp. Yeah getting statues is cool yet, its not worth it for decorating the "base"

[@starr_tots]

Started a platinum badge quest on a japanese copy i got not too long ago, just got my second shiny for Gardenia and started playing around in the underground since i want to hunt for the fossils later on so this video's gonna be some big help explaining alotta underground stuff

[@yomiel4]

man i miss the underground, i remember me and my siblings would build our bases close by and plant traps for eachother and work to get the coolest goods! what a treat to see such an in depth look at the decorating aspect since that was my second favorite behind just excavating stuff

[@RetroPokemonDepot]

Love these in depth videos of yours!

[@Neevkl_7]

I still remember the fight and chaos that ensued when I stole my brothers flag as we thought that had some real consequences lol

[@SirToastyToes]

As a kid I did a link battle with my brother and I used Knock Off and we thought the item was gone forever

[@Neevkl_7]

@@SirToastyToes we did link battles all the time throughout our journeys and in the post game and believed specific Pokémon on our team developed rivalries. My infernape vs his torterra Staraptor vs Staraptor in which they always just close combated each other to death Dialga vs Palkia and so on That first adventure was a magical time. No internet access or guide book and the logic of the world being defined by a 6 and 7 year old. My two fav examples of this were when I found my first shiny a wooper, I believed it was a wooper possessed by darkrai and it needed my help. It remained on my team and eventually I discovered what shinies were and was happy to know my Quagsire wasn’t suffering. As for the second one my brother had an abra later kadabra on his team and we didn’t know what trade evos were. The logical conclusion? His kadabra was like Ash’s pikachu and wanted to show how strong kadabras can be, that kadabra stayed on his team and was his first level 100 Mon.

OMG dat lucario doll 🥺

[@rangertalksdogsgames7996]

Ahhh this was one of my favorite features. I was pretty upset when it was taken out of BDSP Trying to do everything, mostly involved me on lonely summer nights with my 2 DS under the blanket running back and forth Also also, it's only a matter of time before someone tries to get all the accessories

[@phyllojoe5346]

Does it really bother anyone else that even when you remove all the rocks in your secret base, you can still only have 15 decorations? Especially when there are so many and the room itself is so big!

[@GroogleGoog]

Is that a fricking Pokemon Rumble stim cam (also thank you for this delicious morsel of esoteric Pokemon content mmmm)

[@TheEclipsedLock]

I feel inspired to grab these decorations lol

[@Awesomesufff]

It’s really funny how hard it is to get a cardboard box and trash can

[@SaltedNeos]

Okay, I was never super into decorating secret bases, but I've never seen most of the decorations in gen 4 before, and my god, do some of these look cool! I need to go and unlock some of the ones I should already have on my old Diamond save some time.
