I don't know about that. BDSP introduced some cool new things that Platinum didn't have. I'd argue they both are the definitive way to experience Sinnoh, for different reasons.
"Steal into the base to save the captured legendary" is just fine as a sentence. In this case, "steal" is a synonym for "sneak". It's an uncommon by valid use of the word.
It's a slightly more old-fashioned turn of phrase; perhaps those familiar have older relatives who've said it in the past, or possibly have seen it in older media. (edit: typo)
I somewhat agree, but the biggest saving grace that diamond and pearl had (before platinum came out) were the new evolutions to older generation Pokémon.

The Sudowoodo art that is used was the only official concept art that existed at the time. Not sure why Houndour got updated art early, but most Gen 2 pokemon were depicted with their Gen 2 art until much of it was redone for HGSS

It's insane to me that I bought platinum in 2010 and only found out about wayward cave a few months back. This is why I love the older games. There's always hidden things in the games that you have yet to discover

That Scott Pilgrim getting ready reference was hilarious. Edgar Wright is such a genius. I can't wait for Last Night in Soho! I also can't wait for BDSP and LoA
4:58 Well, actually a few Gen 2 Pokémon got updated artworks with the release of FireRed and LeafGreen. More precisely, Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Togepi, Marill, Murkrow, Espeon, Umbreon, Misdreavus, Unown, Wobbuffet, Heracross, Houndour, Houndoom, Phanpy, Donphan, Kingdra and Elekid got their updated art before the remakes.
Platinum definitely gets the "Most Improved Third Version" award I actually have this guide, though I got it on clearance long after Black and White were out. I never knew it had so many weird mistakes xD
“I of course have an honor battle against her Garchomp and win.” Heck yeah, that’s what we come here for! This was actually my first Pokémon strategy guide! I learned a lot from it, but honestly I can’t say young me put any of that knowledge to practical use. Which is to say, I used an overleved starter Pokémon for most of the game until that no longer become a viable strategy and never beat the Elite Four. 😅 I’d love to replay Platinum but sadly I lost my cartridge years ago. Maybe later down the line I’ll get the chance. It’s nice that Platinum ironed out some of the complaints people had with Diamond & Pearl. You can find more Fire Types like Houndour, Magmar, and Flareon, for example. Ponyta still evolves late, but you can catch one much earlier and they now learn Flame Wheel from leveling up.
BDSP should have just used the entirety of Platinum and it's features like the post game. And then put the D/P exclusives for each version and call it a day...
BDSP was such a bad idea in the first place. DP were revealed to be rushed games, which is partly why Platinum exists as a "fix" and improvement. So creating a faithful-but-rushed remake of a rushed game was never gonna turn out good.
@@mosstits If they didn't make BDSP, there would be no remakes of generations that came after. I'm sure a lot of people are looking forward to the Black and White remakes and those couldn't exist if they just stopped making remakes. So, even if the remakes were the worst Pokemon games in existence, they were still important.
@@Shugunou I only said that DP remakes were a bad idea because Platinum exists. Sinnoh remakes were inevitable, but they should've done Platinum instead. A rushed remake of a good game is better than a rushed remake of a rushed game.
@@mosstits They have never done remakes of the third game in the series before and that would set precedence for future remakes. the reason that is bad is because some generations don't have a third game/sequels. Gen 6 is one of those. They were originally planned to have one but never got one which would essentially make it so that there would never be a gen 6 remake which would mean there would never be a gen 7 or gen 8 remake either.
Pokemon platinum was my first ever pokemon game i ever played, and when I got it I was still in elementary school when it was released, so this is a blast of memories just for me alone since this game itself was my childhood.
Just to clarify for anyone who cares, Pokémon doesn't hate Australia its just that the Australian dollar(AU) also uses $ sign however is valued at .75$ United states dollar (USD) hence it appears to be twice the price. I live in Australia, it super annoying buying anything online cause its usually presented USD but ends up being twice what I thought it would be so I always double check or use a currency converter if it isn't inbuilt in the site. 3:49 in case you want the relevant time stamp
Platinum is stil the definitive way to experience Sinnoh. BDSP was a major letdown... Also, 'write a report' means save the game. Parts of this guide are likely translated from Japanese, where the save option is called 'レポート' (report).
I love this particular strategy guide - just the sheer size of it made for a lot of fun reading while bored. And now with WFH, it makes for a nicely-sized stand to sit my laptop on. BTW can confirm the Australian price, mine's still got that overpriced sticker on it. 😂
Fun fact - AU$39.95 on March 22nd, 2009 (the release date of Pokemon Platinum in the US, since I don't know when this guide would have released) was ~US$27.95. So yeah, Nintendo does in fact hate us.
I think "Say no and write a report" just means if you are not prepared for the fight yet you can just say no and save your game. I believe "Save a report" is the term for the Japanese Pokemon games as saving you game (The option on your main menu for saving the game is literally called "report" in Japanese), so basically this is just a mistranslation.
Maybe, but with all the puns and such, I feel like it's more likely a joke about you being a kid dealing with this situation. Realistically, you should just leave and call the police. Helping them write up a report.. Don't see the point in saving the game, since all you really lose is a bit of money.
23:20 is probably a reference to the "observe and report" philosophy where companies don't want their employees to get hurt stoping people from doing illegal or otherwise dangerous things.
When it comes to bringing balance to the UA-cam, joy is not something taken into account. But seeing the berry page But this… this brings a smile to my face.
17:55 - It's no wonder Mothman didn't win against Maylene when you have him use Tackle. Whilst it is a shame that the guide was underwhelming, despite it's nice coverage of move-sets and berries, it was really cool seeing a fairly distinct team. Tangrowth was a unique choice for this fun run of what is my 2nd favourite Pokémon game.
“Steal” can mean sneak. “Steal inside” is understood to mean concealment, to gain entrance without being seen. You’re sneaking around. Hammer away in two shakes of a lambs tail.
I had this same guidebook as a kid and I read this thing to death playing Platinum. I lost it I have no idea what happened to it and still kinda miss it today
28:28 That is technically correct grammar, but I've never seen this Olde English phrase used that way. It's usually used like "to steal away", which means "to sneak AWAY quickly and quietly". But this writer used it to mean "to sneak INTO quickly and quietly".
8:45 *Ralof:* Hey, what village are you from, horse thief? *PaPaSea:* Why do you care? *Ralof:* A Nord's last thoughts should be of home. *PaPaSea:* ...Roarkstead. I'm... I'm from Roarkstead.
I bought this guide for £1 at a car boot, 3 years after buying platinum but it’s actually come in handy. It’s also therapeutic to flip through the Pokédex too.
I just watch these to catch up on the "story" because even though I'm 28 and haven't played a pokemon game since original gold and silver the new game is finally what I wanted as a kid
Ima just say it ur a real king and deserves WAY more subs and likes then you have rn. Your my favorite youtuber thanks for making my life easier with your vids.
I totally thought the same thing! In the original song the line is "Heart don't fail me now." Also just gotta say... the Anastasia movie is SO underrated. I loved it as a kid and I'm pretty sure it's the first movie soundtrack I ever bought. I'm actually really glad it got a Broadway adaptation recently so that it can finally get some love. (Disney buying Fox, the company who made Anastasia, did also bring it some attention).
the thing at 28:40 about how you should "steal inside the base to save the captured pokemon" is using an uncommon use of the word steal which might be what's tripping you up. In this context it basically means to sneak.
Omg hilarious how we actually thought bdsp is gonna improve on the sonnig experience. I even packed out my old ds to play platinum again because I was so disappointed. The underground was awesome tho I really liked what they did with it
Wow I just realized you passed 100k subs! Awesome job man! Keep it up I love your Nintended videos they’re always fun 😁also congrats on over 100,000 subscribers!!!
0:31 That statement did NOT age well 0:40 It still is, BDSP isn't good lol 30:05 What did the Distortion World do to you? I personally love the Distortion World despite how little there is to do there, it's just a great set-piece for the Final Cyrus Battle and the Giratina Encounter :V
@@PaPaSea Despite the fact that it's arguably the worst Remake so far because it includes almost none of the Platinum Exclusive Content (Unlike HGSS which included most Content from Pokémon Crystal) nor does it have Brand-New Content focused on Giratina (Unlike ORAS which has the Delta Episode) and no the method to obtain the Griseous Orb doesn't count
This guide was actually clutch for me as I hadn't played a game since Crystal and it was a big help for the new Pokémon and informing me on the special and physical splits
I played Pokemon Platinum as a kid and had fun, but there is absolutely nothing memorable about it to me other than the weird dimension where you walk on walls. Maybe it was a good game but to me it was just a game to play until the next one Love the Scott Pilgrim reference though!!
nah, the reamakes with quality of life changes while looking different will most likely play better. let alone the game speed. the og gen 4 games are just so damn sluggish
@@haunteddreams1498 they look terrible and qol doesn't replace everything platinum had. Its wait and see now but if oras removed the battle frontier, bdsp might do the same
I had this guide as a kid and I loved it, not for the gameplay tips, but I used it for the Pokédex. I loved drawing Pokémon as a kid, usually just directly imitating the art I saw but it was still so cool
I haven't played Platinum in ages. I'm not sure what happened to the copy I used to play growing up. I wonder if my big brother has it 🤔. I still have Diamond though lol! Thank you for another fun video! Stay well out there everybody, and Jesus Christ be with you, friends. ✝️ :)
I actually got this guide for free with my Platinum Preorder at Target in Australia! It’s such a bulky thing, and my copy has definitely seen better days, but I do know a few things about it. During the era around Platinum’s release, they were actively advertising the events for that Level 100 Regigigas, the Secret Key, and Oaks Letter, which explains the Regi’s showing up early in the book, and Shaymin Sky Form on the cover. I also believe Platinum was released at a time there wasn’t updated Sugimori art for most of the Gen 2 Roster for whatever reason.

that was the joke
Glad to see you’re still hammering away at these
5:26 I understood that reference! Brought a little smile to my day. lol
that comment about BDSP releasing and improving on the og games aged like milk
lol
8:45 *Ralof:* Hey, what village are you from, horse thief?
*PaPaSea:* Why do you care?
*Ralof:* A Nord's last thoughts should be of home.
*PaPaSea:* ...Roarkstead. I'm... I'm from Roarkstead.
I remember having that bulky book as a kid. I got the ones for Black and White 1 & 2, Heart gold/Soul silver and platinum.
Platinum is still the definitive Sinnoh game, even with BDSP being released
I bought this guide for £1 at a car boot, 3 years after buying platinum but it’s actually come in handy. It’s also therapeutic to flip through the Pokédex too.
“BDSP is going to improve upon the Sinnoh experience and be the definitive version of this generation”
Yikes, that didn’t age too well.
I just watch these to catch up on the "story" because even though I'm 28 and haven't played a pokemon game since original gold and silver the new game is finally what I wanted as a kid
The Platinum Guide was my favorite nintendo guide, read through it a lot as a kid
I also skipped Platinum (and HGSS) and I just finished both in Sept. my fave era of pokemon gaming
Ima just say it ur a real king and deserves WAY more subs and likes then you have rn. Your my favorite youtuber thanks for making my life easier with your vids.
20:15 The "Feet don't fail me now" sounds like it's from the Anastasia song "Journey to the Past" 🤔
I totally thought the same thing! In the original song the line is "Heart don't fail me now."
Also just gotta say... the Anastasia movie is SO underrated. I loved it as a kid and I'm pretty sure it's the first movie soundtrack I ever bought. I'm actually really glad it got a Broadway adaptation recently so that it can finally get some love. (Disney buying Fox, the company who made Anastasia, did also bring it some attention).
the thing at 28:40 about how you should "steal inside the base to save the captured pokemon" is using an uncommon use of the word steal which might be what's tripping you up. In this context it basically means to sneak.
He followed my guidebook! He did it!
25:56 it's Diamond & Pearl that are notorious for a lack of Fire Types, not Platinum.
This is the one guide I actually own nostalgia is crazy
Omg hilarious how we actually thought bdsp is gonna improve on the sonnig experience. I even packed out my old ds to play platinum again because I was so disappointed. The underground was awesome tho I really liked what they did with it
Wow I just realized you passed 100k subs! Awesome job man! Keep it up I love your Nintended videos they’re always fun 😁also congrats on over 100,000 subscribers!!!
It's crazy how they released remakes to Gen 4 so much longer after Platinum, and they're still worse.
0:31 That statement did NOT age well
0:40 It still is, BDSP isn't good lol
30:05 What did the Distortion World do to you? I personally love the Distortion World despite how little there is to do there, it's just a great set-piece for the Final Cyrus Battle and the Giratina Encounter :V
no, it aged just fine. the vast majority of people like it
@@PaPaSea Despite the fact that it's arguably the worst Remake so far because it includes almost none of the Platinum Exclusive Content (Unlike HGSS which included most Content from Pokémon Crystal) nor does it have Brand-New Content focused on Giratina (Unlike ORAS which has the Delta Episode) and no the method to obtain the Griseous Orb doesn't count
Lol. BDSP and him saying it will "Improve upon" Sinnoh. We all had so much hope.
“feet don’t fail me now”
lana del rey read pokemon guides
0:28 Well that aged
Haven't met anyone who doesn't have Platinum amongst their favorite Pokémon games!
Nice to meet you, and apologies for breaking your perfect streak
@@chocokittybo Same bro
This guide was actually clutch for me as I hadn't played a game since Crystal and it was a big help for the new Pokémon and informing me on the special and physical splits
I played Pokemon Platinum as a kid and had fun, but there is absolutely nothing memorable about it to me other than the weird dimension where you walk on walls. Maybe it was a good game but to me it was just a game to play until the next one
Love the Scott Pilgrim reference though!!
0:30 well this did not age well you had so much hope for BDSP
Pokemon platinum will remain the definitive way to experience modern sinnoh. Legends arceus is its own thing and BDSP will not replace it at all
nah, the reamakes with quality of life changes while looking different will most likely play better. let alone the game speed. the og gen 4 games are just so damn sluggish
If they just make the exp share toggleable, I think bdsp could have a chance at replacing platinum. Unless they make it ungodly easy, that is.
@@haunteddreams1498 they look terrible and qol doesn't replace everything platinum had. Its wait and see now but if oras removed the battle frontier, bdsp might do the same
Yeah seems to be the case unfortunately. I wanted BDSP to be the definitive version just like how HGSS was for GSC.
@@CEDL0W remakes haven't been the same since. They don't put in the same care or effort
I had this guide as a kid and I loved it, not for the gameplay tips, but I used it for the Pokédex. I loved drawing Pokémon as a kid, usually just directly imitating the art I saw but it was still so cool
I already feel called out by the intro. I liked Shield and have never finished Platinum. xD
18:48 massage girl is actually mentioned on page 90 as giving you an item as well as where she is vaguely
I haven't played Platinum in ages. I'm not sure what happened to the copy I used to play growing up. I wonder if my big brother has it 🤔. I still have Diamond though lol! Thank you for another fun video!
Stay well out there everybody, and Jesus Christ be with you, friends. ✝️ :)
5:28 nice montage
Ah yes, my favorite party member: Gabite the Cynthia
I actually got this guide for free with my Platinum Preorder at Target in Australia!
It’s such a bulky thing, and my copy has definitely seen better days, but I do know a few things about it.
During the era around Platinum’s release, they were actively advertising the events for that Level 100 Regigigas, the Secret Key, and Oaks Letter, which explains the Regi’s showing up early in the book, and Shaymin Sky Form on the cover.
I also believe Platinum was released at a time there wasn’t updated Sugimori art for most of the Gen 2 Roster for whatever reason.
I've Been Looking Forward To This
All the references to the red Gyarados were likely hinting at the then upcoming Gold and Silver remakes.
