Some species are still version exclusive, and he said "completing" the Pokedex by seeing, not catching. It was a requirement of the previous Diamond and Perl for getting the National Dex. In other words you still need to catch Pokémon for completing the Pokedex.

This is the first overall positive review I’ve seen for BDSP on RU-vid and it’s so refreshing. A lot of the other RU-vidrs, even when they were giving helpful hints, would give side comments about how they wish the game was more this than that or just complain about the game isn’t faithful to Platinum even though Diamond and Pearl are the original games. But this review has got me psyched about playing it today (in South Korea and my copy arrives today).

Exp Share needs to be a toggle option.... at least by means of patching. Especially when dealing with mixed teams that can really damper the EV grinds. Although I understand that casuals may not care or even are against this idea, however I can say that I'm certainly not the only one who's had this mindset since swsh.

@gamehunter88 2 года назад

I'm a casual and I actually agree. I will never take the time to min/max like that but its definitely one of those things that should be optional. Especially in a remake that didn't originally have it

Question; If I have both copies, Diamond and Pearl, do I get 2 separate pre order bonuses. How does this work? If I get the Platinum cloths + Egg in Pearl do I also automatically have them in Diamond or do I have to redeem these twice? I would appreciate a proper explanation cause I’m confused.

@joshuawilliams2487 2 года назад

You redeem them twice. Have to get to a certain point in each game though before you receive the rewards.

@ssjsmith8879 2 года назад

Oh DUDE then peep THIS nugget of info. Kriketot in the wild are an uncommon pokemon that have a chance of holding an item called a metronome ( no not the move) it raises move power when the same move is used back to back. It's useful on anything but kriketot's evolution is a surprise beast with fury cutter holding one. Blowing your money on pokeballs trying to catch a kriketot with a metronome is worth it. Something to consider!

@Mr587098 2 года назад

I'm honestly amazed. I honestly didn’t think they remove the unlimited use of TM. I was initially hesitant on getting the game (Shining Pearl) As I felt like it was a quick cash grap but seeing them remove such a feature definitely make the game more challenging compare to previous games. So glad I decided to get it

@MultiKool13 2 года назад

Honestly getting 3-5 of each night as well have just made them unlimited. How many moves are you gonna teach 5+ times?

@feIon 2 года назад

nothing about this game is challenging at all due to the pokemon friendship mechanic that essentially makes every battle halfway thru the game and onward easy as piss

@Pundae 2 года назад

10:48 Yeah I fought every trainer in the game and I was barely the same level as cynthia and she still wiped me a couple times. I was very overleveled for a few portions though. Exp share makes it so that you can exclusively one pokemon and still have the rest of your team on par with trainers, making my starter like 15 levels above the rest (and barry)

@@tbknick6703 Aw, that sucks if true. I wanted to make sort-of mirror teams between BD and Legends. BD having a Glaceon, Legends having Leafeon. BD would've been Torterra, Staraptor, Floatzel, Rampardos, Glaceon, and Garchomp. Legends would've been Infernape (I'm sorry to say this, but I don't like any of the starters Legends gives us; it's not that I don't like them, it's just that in their own respective games, none of them would be my first choice), Floatzel or Bibarel, Honchkrow, Leafeon, Mamoswine, and either Lucario, Garchomp, or Hisuian Zoroark (I have a feeling Zoroark is going to be very popular and probably widely used, but I don't care; I don't mind being a basic-bitch when I'm know I'm right). I also don't know if there are fossil Pokemon are in Legends, I like Rampardos more anyway and Mamoswine already kind-of fits that fossil role, I also kind of want a grass type for a little variety and something to deal with water, rock, and ground which there's a lot of those (most of the water types are also ground types) in Sinnoh/Hisui.

You don’t need to teach “HM” moves to any of your pokémon to use them outside of battle. All you need is to have the badge required. Great pro tip if you dont want to ruin your teams move set with plot moves.
