What Makes Pokémon Platinum The Perfect Pokémon Experience 

Alright, I just watched the video again and I have to agree on what many have already commented on: the audio balancing is kinda wack. To my ear, the music sounded fine during editing but now I realize my speech is like, nearly the same volume as the music and that can be distracting. I can't really reupload the video anymore but if you're having trouble with the audio, maybe try listening to the video with headphones? Maybe that would help? Anyway, I'm really sorry about this little mishap, I'll try to pay more attention to it in future.

consider putting your voice louder than the music

Personally I was not a fan of the decision to focus on putting down the other games rather than focusing on the positives of Platinum in what makes it the best game of the franchise

I think the beauty of the pokemon games is how everyone can find something different about the games to hold on too. The original Red and Blue will forever be that special game/memory for me.

I’m actually going to buy Platinum for my collection. I’ve always wanted to play this one

Hot Take: Platinum OST > BW OST

Damn, it really changed everything, after all, becoming the first of the "big three" is no small task. Also, great vid! your editing is really good. While my fav. is b2/w2, plat and HGSS are also up there in the S rank for me. One thing I didn't really think about is how expanded the gen 4 experience is, since you can easily interconnect that gen's current games with the gen's remakes, which is not as easy or exciting in other generations. That was you have even more teams on each game.

So happy I found this video! Platinum is my favorite Pokemon game!

Cool vid I love Platinum but B/W2 still takes the top spot for me 1/ The gyms All the gym got their own music & the gym leaders are filled with personality Like the Electric gym is just a run way yet I felt star struck when Elesa was shown on screen 2/ the variety of pokemon I do get the point u tried to make in your vid but sir you are not taking full advantage of the improve dex There's so many mons to choose from, i could do monotype challenge runs of anytype and could still change up memebers 3/ the animation Pokemon as well as trainer are full of personality, they feel so lively and unique compare to every other mainline game in the franchise 4/ the post game Oh my word the post game, there's so much to explore I more so enjoy battling and oh boy did i have a good time There's the fight with cythia, the world tournament, the Black City/ White Forrest (They made a whole rouge-like game IN the POSTGAME!! How cool is that!) I could go on but ye i love these game

Great vid. Been literally trying to find something good to watch for hours now, and this was the first vid I was able to sit through & enjoy. Good script Great voice, nice inflections, and volume. Very engaging entertaining and dynamic editing. Easiest Sub and like of my life. Keep up the good work

This video is so good and I agree with it on so many levels. Firstly. Love that Chuggaaconroy footage used for the gen 5 sections. Secondly, thank you for not saying HGSS is the best thing that ever happened to humanity and actually seeing it’s glaring flaws. Thirdly, you made some great points about why Platinum is so good, the wide variety of Pokémon combined with the difficulty curve and lack of needing to grind for most of the game are the perfect trifecta that make a Pokémon game good in my opinion and it’s nice to see that someone else can see that as well.

Houndoom was worth it.

Hey buddy great video i had a question im considering getting a ds and getting a pokemon game to replay from my childhood but i wanted one of the variants with the most possible pokemon which one would you recommend out of these 3 ? In terms of aquiring the most pokemon possible ?

I do not appreciate the Defog Slander, it is such a great move. It clears Screens, Spikes, Rocks and Mist and Safeguard and lowers Evasion. It may be useless in the field but it’s a fantastic usable move, unlike with Whirlpool. I do wish they would have remade Platinum instead of Diamond and Pearl. Still baffles me why they went with their games over the superior one. And I definitely agree with you on HGSS. It is overhyped and as a fan of Eevee the fact that you cannot get Leafeon or Glaceon without trading is dumb as hell. It gets put on my C tier automatically.

i agree w u, platinum is my favorite pokemon game

Great Video!

You mentioned sun and moon at the end. I think you should try ultra sun/ultra moon. I'm torn between those and platinum as my favorite pokemon game

I’m a Sinnoh child and love them all yes including the remakes

People allways mention "nostalgia vias" as a negative thing, while in reality its a great way to connect with each other stories through gaming. Thats what art does, think about your favorite movies, your favorite songs, favorite books... and you will remember when did you watch them, where you were when you heard that tune, with whom? did someone gift you that book or did you bought it for yourself? what was going in your life at the time? Pokemon blue and gold where the ones I played most. Then I played Emerald lots of years later as an adult, and now another 9 years later im playing Platinum on my cellphone at work. Gen 1 and 2 are the only ones I´ve played multiple times, and gold being my favorite I hear you bringing up its design flaws and im like " f*ck he´s right ". But you know what? Gold (and by extention HG) will allways be my favorite pokemon games because they mean a lot to me.

"wouldn't call 6 green Pokemon great" *Inhales* Talonflame, Goodra, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Heliolisk, Sylveon, Hawlucha, Clawitser, Florges, Gogoat, Xerneas, Yveltal, Aegislash, Furfrou. No, but seriously, gen 6 has like, asking the best designs and cool looking Pokemon, all 79 or so are pretty cool. I always thought gen 6 decided to do really iconic Pokemon at the cost of not having filler Pokemon like gen 5, which half of the Pokedex are just copies of gen 1. They have a problem of difficulty and pacing, but designs? Nah uh

You should make retrospective videos of all pokemon main line games and also zelda games

Hi man I get it like for pokemon black 2 make me feel the same way

Hi, I was interested in watching this but the music is louder than your voice so I had to stop :(

MY EAAAARSSSS AHHHHHH ( i see you noticed the sound so as to repay for still making this jokey joke ima sub once my hearing comes back )

Nice video essay ❤🎉 Emerald is my favorite

This is a 1 million view video if you reupload w proper audio

PLEASE HELP: I have over 60hrs on the game and In order for me to unlock Route 225/ survival area/ route 226 etc i need to complete my Pokédex but the ONLY one I’m missing is Seadra which can ONLY be found on route 226 so there’s no way I can complete the Pokédex??? Im so confused because it’s like I can’t unlock those areas because the game doesn’t let me 😆 PLEASE SOMEONE HELP 😪

I disagree but thanks for confirming everyone's fav gen is 100% based on nostalgia (gen 2, btw)

Platinum is good but Pokemon Yellow all day when can you have all three starters plus Pikachu

That music is loud as hell

B2W2 are my favs but I'd say Platinum is my nr 2

Omega ruby and alpha sapphire are so good id recommend

Music is too loud, I can’t hear your voice

How did you play it on your phone

Not going to lie about this, I was a heavily over invested Pokémon fan as a kid I have played every single one to date when they launched roughly… You couldn’t pay me to keep playing platnium post Giritina .. I HATED platnium so much, pacing, the clunky battle speed in particular.. endless amounts of sturdy mon… I get if it’s your first or second gen sure maybe .. It’s not that good at all But THATS SOULY my opinion on that matter

Bro, the sounds needs work. The content is fine, but you need to find the balance between the music and your voice, because it's really off in places. Tone down the BGM and try to work a bit on make your voice consistently be higher than it, because it was all over the place. You'll get there, if you keep working at it, but this is definitely not it yet

The music is way too loud over your narration

Holy fuck bro I can BARELY hear you

I fully disagree. IMO the games have been going downhill since Red and Blue. They made so much money that they tried to throw way too much into the sequels. And locked way too much gameplay behind live events. With that said, I'm playing Platinum now for the first time, hence why I'm watching your video. Trying to get more familiar with the different pokemon as I play a lot of Pokemon Go. You still get a like, as Red and Blue were my first pokemon games just like Plat was yours. So we are more the same than different.
