  • After 8 months of comments asking to make this video, it's finally here. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are without a doubt the hardest games to catch all the regional Pokemon, and today we're going to figure out if we can catch them all in under 24 hours. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

      Chris Clack
      He knows that it was a bomb. It’s hard to ignore that when he plays Platinum which has every sign of the bomb exploding. I bet you’re one of the few people who don’t know what this thing called a joke is, because he was making one.
      Yes I’m aware there’s a 90% I’m about to get on r/whooosh but when your joke is "this joke is bad and should be changed" then really it shouldn’t count.

      The only reason i got regigias in my one playthrough of Diamond is because I imported my regis that I got painstakingly from gen3. I think thats how youre supposed to do it too, meaning Regigigas is probably the most time consuming legendary to catch in any game.
      Aside from maybe Landurus?

      @Luca-Robert Stewart you're supposed to send them from Hoenn, but they added the event in Platinum to make it possible without a GBA game. The act of catching a Pokemon is more exciting than being given one, so the ability to catch the 4 regis in an event is a much more exciting way of describing it than saying that you are given a regigigas to gain the ability to catch regigigas

      Hey man you got off a lot better than I did, started Diamond when I was like 6, I know, playing the most unforgiving pokemon game as a 6 y/o was not the smartest move. Granted I didn't know that at the time but still. I didn't actually finish Diamond until I was 16 having roflstomped every generation before and after 4, beat Pokémon Sun, gave up on Ultra Sun because its literally the same boring game, that I finally returned to Pokémon Diamond after not even touching it once in 10 years, reset the game from my roadblock at Cynthia so I could play through without only leveling Infernape (because lets be honest Infernape gets the best coverage out of all the gen 4 starters) curve-stomped Cynthia, and eventually obtained all the pokemon in Diamond, even the events because im cheeky like that and use the void...… its been a long 11 years since I started that shit.... still my favorite game out of all of them. Since then I've beaten it 5 or times. Times like this when I remember that when I was 6 and first trying out the game I actually reset my game because I thought I needed Dig to climb up something I needed Rock Climb for. Good times.
