The Hidden Egg Hatching Mechanics of Gen 4 Pokémon
It took people over 10 years to discover the hidden mechanic that speeds up egg hatching, so in this video I go over exactly how the mechanic works and everything you need to know in order to hatch eggs as quickly as possible.
All footage captured on my Nintendo DS with authentic Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, and SoulSilver cartridges.

The Parasocial Gen 4 Pokémon Feature That Nobody Unlocked
Переглядів 195 тис.Місяць тому
I missed something BIG last time, it turns out there's more undocumented dialogue within the Battle Hall! Similar to my previous Hall video, I couldn't find any info on this online. Outside of the celebrity fans like Professor Oak, Jasmine, and Whitney, you have a super fan named Winston or Serena. It turns out these super fans have WAY more dialogue than I expected and it's unlocked in a separ...
The Platinum Battle Tower Glitch That Makes You Lose
Переглядів 103 тис.Місяць тому
I encountered a glitch in Pokemon Platinum's Battle Tower which inadvertently led to solving a 15 year old mystery. It's extremely easy to accidentally activate this and lose your entire win streak while challenging the Battle Tower. In this video I go over what happened, how it was solved, and how you can prevent it from happening to yourself! I also explore if it happens in Diamond, Pearl, He...
The Platinum Rival Battle You Couldn't Unlock (Until Now)
Переглядів 611 тис.Місяць тому
The mystery of the Pokemon Platinum Level 75 Barry fight has haunted me for over a year, so I finally decided to investigate! It's been known for years that there exists an additional rival battle in the game, featuring Pokemon up to Level 75, separate from the Barry battle that unlocks at 20 Hall of Fame entries. The longstanding myth is that it unlocks at 10 Hall of Fame entries, but it turns...
The Gen 4 Pokémon Bug That Secretly Wasted Time
Переглядів 334 тис.2 місяці тому
After almost 20 years we finally have an answer to one of the weirdest phenomenons in Gen 4! TheMasterZelda found a bug in Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum that causes the seemingly random delay on Honey or Berry Trees that people have experienced. In this video, I explain what the bug is and how to deal with it! All footage captured on my Nintendo DS with authentic Pokemon cartridges. Subs...
The Gen 4 Pokémon Feature That Nobody Unlocked
Переглядів 504 тис.2 місяці тому
Over the last year I've been working on and off to research one of Gen 4's mysteries. In Pokemon Platinum / HeartGold / SoulSilver you can unlock fans in the Battle Hall. These fans have ridiculous requirements to unlock, and as a result their dialogue is basically undocumented. As far as I'm aware this is the first footage available of this dialogue on the internet! The NPC's involved are Etha...

    Question isn't thier a code to make the uneligible pokemon allowed? If so you should try and see if more dialog is unlocked.

    Pearl/Platinum was when I discovered EV training, and the best exp post EV at least in my eyes was the E4 so i'd grind through to max its level. Put so much work into that game lol when I saw this video I thought it'd be something new but like many others are saying, it was naturally unlocked for me.

    8:42 Idk if anyone noticed but the dialog numbers are linked close to the total dex number for each region. With 100 being what I assume is just a lower entry threshold, and with the third one kept closer to 100 to keep it even as more pokemon were added gen 3 (135 vs 100). Probably to account for the limited number of high difficulty Pokemon like Wobbuffet and Happiny.

    I believe you can bypass the time manipulation restrictions by turning off your ds, remove the card, turn the ds back on, set date and time, turn ds off, insert card back into your ds, then finally turing it back on. Another option is to use a second ds.

    You know what's crazy to me? Platinum was the first Pokemon game I set out wanting to 100%, and I got that glitch (I love mashing buttons) and decided not to 100% it after all. I'm not much for min maxing, battling in the towers and frontier and what not wasn't really my thing, but I was going to do it just to get 100%. Nope. Never thought it was it was my own fault! I feel like I have the motivation to try again, now, but it'll also be way more trouble to finish the Pokedex. Oh well.

    Kinda reminds me of the fan in the gyms in Sword/Shield. She starts rooting for you after you get your first badge, and becomes a bigger fan the more you get. Also, she starts out with a Blipbug next to her, and a few gyms in, it's evolved to a Dottler, then by the end, it's an Orbeetle. I always thought that was a cute little feature.
