Just wanted to say I saw your initial video about a year ago, and didn't notice you came back to pokemon content until this week. binged all the updates since the original video and honestly love every second of it. In the modern era of content creation people try to do way too much in a single video, sometimes entire playthroughs go by in as little as 18 minutes thanks to over editing so its extremely refreshing to take a breather with this slower form of content. I'm so sad I can't find anyone similar so if anyone could leave some recommendations for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Something you mentioned in a previous video that really struck out to me is that you said you find that training / creating a pokemon is almost more enjoyable than actually using it in battle as I greatly agree. In the modern games (Sword and Shield, Scarlet and Violet) I find it extremely easy to create pokemon sets and have so much fun just running around doing that just to damn them to the box for forever haha. Thanks for the good times, and excited to see whats to come with the generation I first played (Pokemon Pearl).
Not to plug myself here but I also fell in love with the videos nighthawk makes. Reminds me of the early 2010s lets play youtubers. Anyways Ill be doing similar things to nighthawk soon. I have my own save file inspired by this channel immensenly where i completed the regional dex in fr/lg . I really really love this channel and I hope they keep uploading videos on this topic. The passion just oozes from each video.
@@miguelhxrnandezbefore I even read your guy’s comments I had already posted basically the same thing as you guys lol. Basically that nighthawk is THE high quality pokemon creator we NEED. These 18 minute play throughs couldn’t even get me to turn in their direction. I’m all about the attention to details, aswell as falling in love with the process. More than anything this video feels much more nostalgic in a sense. There’s genuine intent behind it and I love that. I immediately understood his humbleness when he asked for input, it says a lot about the man. Or maybe I’m just glazing 🤦♂️
Cozy vid i love how you dont use a capture card adds to the nostalgia cant wait to see how it goes on the 4th gen games as far as restarting it would be nice to see it from the start but its always up to you g!
i like how the games look without the capture card. It makes it more real in a way like you are there with me ya know. And yea i think restarting might be the way to go!
@@nostalgicnighthawkhey bro is there a reason why your video says it was posted yesterday? Even though your conversation here is over a week old? Am I dumb.
You inspired me to track what I do on my Soul Silver file that I also mainly only play and am currently working on the national dex on this save with about 200 hours at the moment. I think you doing the same content you currently make on the Gen 3 games with other games you enjoy is totally fine and I'm all for it. I'm glad I've found your channel recently because it's made me want to finish and document my progress with the pokemon games I enjoy.
Holy hell dude, you are incredible at this! This channel is going to explode soon, I’m sure! Keep up the great work dude, looking forward to this as it motivates me to play along as well.
I miss the transition from gen 3 to gen 4. The new console, dual screens, new pokemon, wireless trading. So good memories. Thanks for your great videos!
Love the idea of gen 4 but I'd never want to see you stop on gen 3! (I know you're not stopping but still). I also love the idea of that gen 3 document too that sounds amazing and i'll definitely be checking that out when you release it! Also i'm all for restarting gen 4 from scratch for the sheer fact of being able to start a completely new journey! I've been watching your videos loads lately and preparing to take on the battle frontier with a team I love, instead of a team that's premade for success! Thanks for all the effort you've been putting in it's absolutely not gone unnoticed!
Recently downloaded all the hand held generations onto my 3ds. Been playing through all of gen 3 and about to start a few gen 4 playthroughs. Would love to see you start fresh man! Love the videos!
Love this shit. So relaxed and fun, but also really educational too. Ive played pokemon literally my whole life, and still dont know what you're on about half the time but I love it. I think you inspired me to start my next chapter of Pokemon playing, super excited to play all my old games over again now.
Your channel is what I’ve been looking for for so long. Someone with a strong passion for these classic games and a willingness to put in the work uploading videos
I love Gen 4. I have such good memories with all of them. Especially soul silver since I got my first ever event pokemon on there. Shiny beast trio in cherish balls. Such cool pokemon, and I felt like the coolest trainer haha. Then I transferred one to white when it came out, and got the event zoroark. To this day zoroark is still one of my favorite pokemon
Been watching your videos for about a week and I’m lovin them tbh I have all of the gameboy Pokémon games and many more but the gameboy ones are the best. You helped me make up my mind on if I should buy a analogue pocket so I bought one yesterday Keep up the good work!
I gotta say I love your channel and videos! I recently started my playthrough of Platinum and am currently in the post-game doing some PokéRadar chains. So fun and nostalgic. Would love to get all the stars on the Trainer Card. Looking forward to more Gen 4 content!
Oh boy, this is exciting! I think it´s more interesting to restart the games, one per region. HG or SS for Johto, whatever you like more, and Platinum for Sinnoh. Either with the battle facilities in mind from the start or use your favourite teams for the story and then grind for the battle facilities like in the gen 3 games.
I would LOVE to follow you through a gen 4 fresh play through! Started watching your Gen 3 vids while I play along on my fresh gen 3 games. Needless to say, this channel is top tier and I'm in for the long run, keep up the awesome work.
I bought Heartgold and started with Chikorita too, 168 hours play time so far. Recently beat Red. Tried Soft Reseting shiny charmander, but lost patience nearing 200-300 SR's
Hey man, I wrote an essay but I’ll keep it short. Don’t restart what you don’t want to (platinum) and start fresh with whatever! I’m a huge generation 4-5 fan and I’m willing to watch throughout this entire journey. Just subbed as well. Me personally, I just want high quality videos, with high quality creators, playing high quality video games 🙂 The worst part is most people don’t put out very valuable recent play throughs for these games, and it makes sense. only a certain percentage of us can hold on for so long.. I long for a play through in 2024. Im not picky I just want what we used to get back then, just redone with today’s equipment, philosophy, and style. Everything that goes into it. You are awesome dude! Keep going at it.
Winning 100 battles in Battle Tower in HG was such a rush. It was such an incredible feeling knowing I put together a really great team. Starmie, Scizor, and Garchomp were my 3 choices on my team. Hopefully you can get far in Battle Tower too. One of my best gaming accomplishments for sure.
Unless you plan on dong a shiny badge quest, I wouldn't restart any of the saves. Or unless you want to soft reset for a legendary/starter. (You do you though. If you feel like you want to play through a game again; do it). For D/P/PT, I would recommend trading important items so you have place holders near the top of the bag. (This really only applies if you restart a game and trade items off of it before you reset). There are a ton of items in the main pouch of the bag and scrolling to the bottom to get a smoke ball/lucky egg/exp share/etc., can be annoying. Having 2 or more of them and moving those items to the top of the bag is convenient and quick. Definitely trade any one time obtained items you think you will need. (Master ball is the best example). It's better to have them, than to play through a seperate game to get another. Things to do that will make your save more complete/optimal for situations: 1. Get synchrozine Pokemon for each nature. This will make it easier to get the nature you want on any Pokemon later. (Only works 50% of the time when leading the party). 2. Get a Magnet Pull Pokemon. 3. Get a Static Pokemon. 4. Get an Illuminate Pokemon. 5. Get a Damp Pokemon. 6. Get a False Swipe Pokemon. Breloom/Smeargle with spore are your top options. (Must breed to get False Swipe on Breloom). 7. Get a Ditto with the natures Adamant, Jolly, Modest, and Timid. (Having the synchronizers before this helps). 8. Get a Suction Cups Pokemon. 9.Get a Soundproof Pokemon. Other tips: 1. If you EV train your Pokemon, keep track of the EVs on paper/computer. (Your notebooks would look really nice with this information in them). 🙂 2. If you have Pokerus, make sure to spread it to all games. 3. If you breed, make sure you have two of the same species with different trainer IDs if you want the fastest eggs. Obviously, when you start breeding this isn't usually possible or ideal. But if you are trying to get the best IVs, you will want to use this method for efficiency. 4. Do the underground mining in D/P/PT whenever you feel like it. Heartscales/Shards/Fossils are very nice to have a lot of. Shards are important for the move tutor in Platinum or for getting the EV reducing berries in HGSS. Recommendations: 1. Having a Japanese game is really helpful for Masuda Method. I don't know if you are going to take it this far but it is an idea. You can get any parent you like this way and make Masuda Method way quicker. (Well, the setup to get a good parent might take the same amount of time as just breeding with a foreign Ditto but I much prefer having fast eggs when the hunt is setup). If I have anything else to say I will add it below here. I hope you enjoy playing and recording your adventure!
I've been wanting to complete as much as possible with gens 3 & 4 with those two being my favorites in that order, I just never started them. So far I need emerald and heartgold, xd & colosseumbonus disc. I've started soulsilver, firered and continued my colosseum from a couple years back thanks to your channel. Firered/red I've played a bunch and I've gone through gen 2 a few times. Ss is a beautiful remake Also keep the data. Otherwise maybe you can salvage what you can on a sinnoh/johto
yeah man I think you should back up your old saves and then start again. As someone who's recently restarted their childhood pokemon games its been so fun and I'm actually more attached to the save files I have from this year than I was to my old files. Also I'd love to see how you approach building your dex from scratch.
I’ve never really played gen 4. I had Pearl as a kid and I know I must’ve completed the league challenge but I literally can’t remember a minute of it. I’m about where you are in gen 3 (maxed on Ruby, LG, FR, now doing the battle areas and shiny hunting). I got SS and HG ready to go for when you restart. Godspeed brother, cant wait.
I've been grinding through the first part of my Heart Gold Prof. Oak's challenge with the goal of making this Heart Gold cart my completionist cartridge It's so cool to see someone tackling it with similar vibes in mind!
I think heartgold would probably be the best to restart like you said. But if you really wanna play soul silver I would just transfer any Pokémon you want out of the game and restart. Cant wait to see what videos you make on these games
I have an English copy of platinum and a I have a Japanese copy of soul silver , and diamond ! I bought them in Japanese because they’re ALOT cheaper compared to the English copies in today’s world
I found a shiny Duskull on top of Mt Pyre last week and now it's on my Pearl version evolved into Dusknoir ^.^ Pokemon Battle Revolution is awesome and it's the main reason I train pokemon these days :)
congrats! Shiny duskull and clops so cool. I somewhat remember someone else getting a shiny duskull too recently. Maybe if was another comment from you???
@@nostalgicnighthawk I remember that comment too on of your other vids!! I was jealous because I was thinking about finding a shiny ghost for October and then I saw that comment! 😂
You're going to love HGSS! It is absolutely the culmination of the Pokemon games, a height that in quality that I do not believe will ever be achieved again. The devlopers said they aimed to make the ultimate Pokemon games, and they definitely succeeded.
In 2020 I restarted my SS file, training a lot of competitive mons and I got so far to achive almost every goal of the trainer card except the Pokeanthlon.
You got me started on this retro journey with my pokemon Ruby and Leaf green! Keep one game as a Collection game, and restart the other 4. Do you want to keep backups of your gen 3 games?
I'd love to see a series starting from the beginning working towards completing a living dex and ultimately completing the battlefrontier in platinum. Of course that is a lot of work and you should only do that if it is what you want to do.
Currently trying to living dex im halfway through gen 3 stil need to do.colloseum and xd but wil be going to gen 4 after. Im curious in what order youll.lay them? Im diong diamond first then pearl.for any missing okemon and platinum then im gonna start heart gold and soul silver. Attemping to complete the pokedex as much as i can as i go .
Mod your ds and backup your og save files. Then you can restart and play from a fresh start but if you ever want to go back you can. I like to do challenge runs on of hardware but only have 1 of each game and would hate to constantly lose all my stuff so I have like 5 save files for SS alone lol.
hey man I'm just starting my Pokémon collection because i made some dumb decisions as a kid, i traded my copy of Pokémon heartgold that i put 999 hours into for a copy of Pokémon white only for it to be stolen like 2 weeks later. but I'm completing my ds collection and then I'm gonna get a red Gameboy sp and Pokémon emerald because i had those as a kid and it be felled a terrible fate. whenever your vids come up on my feed I will watch it for sure!
I actually pulled out my DS lite while listening to this video; I am three cartridges away from a complete collection. Question, Mr Nighthawk. What kind of stand are you using for when you were playing your DS?
I don’t think you should restart. I liked how in your gen 3 videos you were doing post game content like completing the Pokédex and going through the battle frontier. I was hoping you would make similar content for the gen 4 games.
Please beat elite four 200 times, hatch 300 eggs and win 99 more link battles. THEN, find 3 gba's, 3 wireless adapters and a combination of 3 games among FR, LG and/or E then beat the joyful game corner before you move on.
From the beginning would be so cool! Preserve whatever Pokémon you have on your current saves tho
yup trade the keepers and reset
@@tysutythegnomewith a modded 3ds he can keep the entire save file on an sd
@@Martinioini thats dope
didnt know that!
Definitely this. No sense in throwing all those pokemon into the dark dimension.

my fav youtube channel keep it up man
Would love to see you start over bro, it will be interesting to see you playing regular old pokemon instead of endgame grinding :)
Lots of very special memories from Pearl
If you have a modded 3ds I definitely recommend using the application checkpoint on your 3ds to back up your gen 4 DS saves before you start new files

Just started gen 4 myself gen 3 was fun for sure.
Have you considered backing up your gen 4 saves that you’re hesitant to delete? All you need is a modded 3ds
You can mod your DSI and I think you can dump your save files on a SD card ... Maybe thats the best solution. 🤗

i think restarting HG is the way to go. It just makes the most sense!
In gen 4, the Destiny Knot doesn't pass on IVs, that doesn't happen until gen 6. In gen 4, the Destiny Knot is only good for the move Attract.
and power bracer, lens… either, except in HGSS where you can use them to pass one of the parents IVs. So breeding is easier in HGSS
ahh poop o well thanks for lettin me know!
I have an English copy of platinum and a I have a Japanese copy of soul silver , and diamond ! I bought them in Japanese because they’re ALOT cheaper compared to the English copies in today’s world
I just started to play gen 3 after watching you. Now you are moving to gen 4? Looks like i gotta go to gen 4
Dont forget that you can use the wifi connection with the DNS of wiimfi and trade with the Gts

hey man I'm just starting my Pokémon collection because i made some dumb decisions as a kid, i traded my copy of Pokémon heartgold that i put 999 hours into for a copy of Pokémon white only for it to be stolen like 2 weeks later. but I'm completing my ds collection and then I'm gonna get a red Gameboy sp and Pokémon emerald because i had those as a kid and it be felled a terrible fate. whenever your vids come up on my feed I will watch it for sure!
Current playing heart gold and shiny hunting for the first time. Got a couple now, drowzee, nidarino female, eevee and now a ho-oh
I actually pulled out my DS lite while listening to this video; I am three cartridges away from a complete collection. Question, Mr Nighthawk. What kind of stand are you using for when you were playing your DS?
I would say if you want to keep you old saves on your og cartriges get a flash cart and play on that.
Wow how you buy that book guide is it still in sale now?😮
I vote for a fresh start. If you started over I would subscribe and watch that😊
Building my Pokemon ds game collection again, I just need black 1&2 and pearl & diamond & soul silver 😭
what is that platinum book called, is there an online version of this?
I don’t think you should restart. I liked how in your gen 3 videos you were doing post game content like completing the Pokédex and going through the battle frontier. I was hoping you would make similar content for the gen 4 games.
You should only reset 1 game from each region that way you still have some with progress on them.
Please beat elite four 200 times, hatch 300 eggs and win 99 more link battles. THEN, find 3 gba's, 3 wireless adapters and a combination of 3 games among FR, LG and/or E then beat the joyful game corner before you move on.
How much did you pay on Platinum?
I would like to see a new play through but you should save the mons you have there
my fav gen.
restart one of the hgss games and one of diamond and pearl pick the one you like better of each
Yes move on to gen 4/5 , i like emerald too but theres more things to do
should restart also maybe shiny hunt yourself a starter just to make that said file a bit more special
Authentic copies or repos❔
all authentic. I have the OG boxes too
Gen 4 has way to many more convenient was of hacking for shit. that I can't help but not avoid cheating just a little 😂🎉
