As someone who did not watch the anime in this period I’m just rolling with it. I’d believe anything you say about Paul

Of course he's a favorite. He's basically the anime version of Silver.

Dawn: "paul your a jerk" Paul: "I know"

In the anime, Paul used Magmar against Maylene's Lucario. You could have recreated that as well.

Paul is one of my favorite characters and rivals in Pokémon. He’s phenomenal at battling so I love how you did this!

It’s funny cause a couple years back I bought a copy of platinum just to name my character Paul and use all the Pokémon he used

Regarding Paul: His "competitive game" approach is counter to the Anime's take on the Pokémon world but is mostly limited to releasing captures that he doesn't intend to put time into which while strange isn't really "bad" in the case of, say, the Starlys but becomes traumatic in instances like Chimchar's where he was around for awhile forming a bond and already having been subjected to that kind of harsh training. His very harsh training methods are awful or even abusive... depending on the Pokémon. The Honchcrow, Weavile, Aggron, Magmortor, Electivire, and Drapion lines he trained are all "Thug" or "Monster" species the textbook examples of which would absolutely excel in such a training environment and cases could certainly be made for the rest of his known roster including a potential Staraptor or Infernape. The specific Chimchar that was eventually released and ended up with Ash is an excellent example of incorrect species-based Trainer assumptions since Infernape's line on paper should take well to Paul's methods but this was not one such example resulting in physical abuse and psychological trauma that was later worsened by abandonment when it became clear it couldn't keep up. He's definitely an arrogant jerk but I always thought that trait shone far more prominently than normal towards and around Ash, an individual who has nigh identical experience to himself, whose mentality and training methods are the opposite which immediately leads to animosity. "Nigh identical experience" as in Paul had by this point participated in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn Leagues like Ash (not necessarily in that order) but not the Orange League or Battle Frontier, although he's aspired since soon after receiving Turtwig to eventually be good enough for the latter, hence why Paul had fully evolved Pokémon like Weavile from the start of this series. Don't ask me why Paul of Sinnoh's Veilstone City who received his Turtwig starter from Prof. Rowan in Sandgem Town (hence the knowledge on how to evolve his presumably Johto Sneasel) waited to tackle his home region's Pokémon League until participating in three others from distant regions because if one was provided beyond the writers wanting to further deepen his narrative similarities to Ash then I'm unaware.

Paul is just your typical competitive player which is why he released many Mons in the anime

Really fun seeing you play as Paul, I liked how you made Ash your rival and give him his Sinnoh team. My favourite part had to be the final battle with Ash, I liked the recreation of their final battle from the anime. Looking forward to the Sinnoh Ash video.

Who else had a crush in Dawn when he was 10? Lord knows i did

Paul's team probably the most stacked one

Let's gooo!! I was so excited for this one!! Also love the sponsorships, I'm gonna check out Warthunder after this video😁

lol should’ve named it Pokémon Paulatinum

missed the gold opportunity to make the name "Pokemon Paultinun" the perfect name

Awesome video dude! NightWing was an obvious favourite of mine, but NotaBug was a close second😂. I knew Paul's team was always stacked, but now I KNOW how stacked it really is ahaha. Once again, great video man, keep it up!

I'm ngl I lowkey loved Paul as a kid, the one thing I didn't like was him getting rid of Chimchar. I genuinely think he should've beaten Ash

As someone who did Paul's team in Shining Pearl, I highly recommend doing this

If Paul wasn’t an asshole to chimchar and didn’t release him, ash would’ve lost to him in the sinnoh league, serves him right infernape is such a force to b reckoned with

FINALLY! A DS Rom hack! Especially one where Paul is the rival instead of Barry

Playthrough was literally Paul-fect!

I can’t be the only one who wanted to smack 🥊 Paul especially after what he did to chimchar

😂 good thing you didn't use garchomp, gyradoes, or metagross be way to easy or hariyama

Awesome video How about doing HGSS Paul Locke as well? Also did you consider Paul's Journeys Pokémon of Gyarados, Metagross and Garchomp? Maybe also do BW and B2W2 for Trip and Cameron from the anime?

19:59 In Platinum, there is a Razor Claw hidden in Team Galactic’s base in Veilstone.

I’ve never wanted to punch a Pokémon character as badly as I wanted to punch Paul.

Ash’s hyper style does match his original series counterpart but not his DP counterpart

Fun Fact in pokemon platinum there's a razor claw in the room with cyrus although it's a hidden item so you can evolve sneasel way earlier

Paul was a great rival this looks really great

Why did you name a male magmortar lava girl instead of boy?

Why Gesundheit, this is a german word for bless you?

I tried playing this card via a r4 card. It did not work. How do I play this on an r4 four card?

also war thunder from what i know is a pretty solid game. i actually dont mind this sponsor. its great❤ and you did so damn good on this rom. no screw ups patching it either. 😅 you actually have a knack for gen 4 modding i think😂

Should’ve called it Pokémon Paultinum😂

Why was Paul like 30 and picking on kids lol

4:35 why did he call his chimchar primeape? 🤣🤣

This was such a good video dude!! loved the dedication to this video, i look forward to the video playing as Ash! also big up to Warthunder for supporting my guy !!

Paul is a clear fan of gen 2 with gen 4 exclusive evolutions 😂

Why didn’t you just play through platinum normally? You could get a lot of Paul’s mons in a normal play through also Paul didn’t get ride if azumaril after that one fight he actually hangs on to it till after the 2 gym by trading it awat

It should have been 'Pokemon Paulatinum"

My only complaint is that in Snowpoint, there should have been a battle with Brandon. Ideally, here’s his team. - Regirock - Registeel - Regice - Dusknoir - Ninjask - Solrock

wowee 2 free games. one game i can blow up people and send to the dark lord and one i can actually play as the dark lord. 😮

I consider Paul has the Saiyan mindset.

plz make a rom hack game based on ash's full journey more completely than pokemon fire ash

Would be better if you changed the context of dialogues too

Ash beating paul in the end is impossible if not for plot armor

Is just me or does Paul remind you of carmine from the SV dlc

I don't know where in the game it is, but if possible, I think you should have tried to have your starter Torterra moveset match Paul's... Frenzy Plant; giga drain; crunch; and Stone Edge I think that would have looked cool using the strongest possible known grass move to finish off Bertha!!!

Gesundheit? Are you German or Austrian? hahahaha

You know I'm still mad that this game had a bunch more Pokemon what's stuff like Nidoking and aggron and hariyama as examples but the Legends Arceus game for some reason doesn't have them even in the distortion fields play WTF time travel should allow for stuff like to appear but no it's just stuff like porygon and Magnemite regular sneasel and the 3 starters But yeah Paul might not have been the nicest guy but he knew how to train some strong Pokemon so you got to give him some credit for that

Hope we get to see the reverse later

I thought Paul started with chimchar and abondoned it ..

Which platinum rom is needed for this patch?

I have always been a huge fan of the anime. and i think Ash is literally a personalification of all the people watching the anime. And paul is a personalification of all the people playing the game as a "Main" pokemon source. LOL

How did you evolve Electabuzz to Electivire? My Electabuzz is level 48 and holding the electirizer but it didn't evolve

Can you hack in a postgame battle with Brandon? Dusclops Ninjask Solrock and the Regis. His true final battle

Another banger vid Joe! You'll have to teach me how to do your "Master Hacking" skills :p

also poor cross eyed starly.. pauls starly looked cross eyed in the clip😂

Paul is one of my fav rival. Ash vs paul was the best match ever. Infernape was crazy in that battle

Paul is a asshole rival done right. Hot Take: I never liked Silver in the normal Gen 2 games.

Play as tobias

Paul was the best rival For Ash, Because they are opposite in everything

Names his magmorter lava girl even though it’s male

"Expert hacking skills" Can you hack me a couple bucks

Tbh what pisses me off about Ash is he always goes after the Dick Rivals, Report his ass for abuse.

Paul doing a nuzlocke makes sense in a different way; instead of Pokémon dying, Paul deems them too weak and releases them 😂

Paul would never teach Ursaring Return until after Ash humbled him in the Sinnoh League. He'd teach it Frustration instead.

Y'know, when Diamond, Pearl and Platinum first came out (namely 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009), I named the G4 rival (Barry) Paul as tribute to the dude.

hello can i get link to download platinum rom you used?

Was ash’s pikachu holding a light ball?

How to download this hack ?

Algorithm boost

It was only a what???? And you expect a sub 😢

Download link please?

Bro they should’ve put Paul in the game diamond and pearl

How did those trade based evolution works? Does it change?

Good vid aside from the rare candy abuse

How to download

Couldve be Pokemon "Paulatinum"

wait did you call it gesundheit cause its a "sneezel" ? thats Hilarius

Thank you for the great content( the video and the Rom). I am looking forward to play your Paul Rom. Great work. Great video.

It's kind of appropriate that u should lose Chimchar

Ni magmar ni electrabuz evolucionan con el objeto q hago??

Technically if I remember right Paul is from veilstone city

Pokemon Platinum Paul sounds a little bit better in my opinion.

Paulatinum

i tried many roms and always when i tried to patch rom - Invalid input so what can i do to fix it?

Only payl would turn ninjask into a special attack user and still worked

To be fair, He is really good 👍

Gen 4just brings me back looking forward for more

He and Marley would make a great team as well as a great couple.

Gastrodon Paul is blue 😭

"PATHETIC"

Paul is literally us playing pokémon

Pokemon Platnium Paul Version

Standby for battle!

This is kinda roleplay, i these series ❤

is this hack finish?

HELL YEAH! yellow next? :0

I never liked Paul he was such a jerk
