i'm a simple girl, i see sinnoh games and i give a like.

[@itsmariaa18]

omg! I remember as a lil girl staying up late to watch Diamond & Pearl cartoon on tv, I was obsessed with Piplup. Years later I tried playing Diamond on my DS but I guess i was too young and the game felt too slow.. I liked it but I needed more. I didn't even know Platinum keeps most of the story from DP and adds to it. I'm just waiting on a new 3ds to arrive so I guess i know what my first game will be. So excited, this seems much more alive but I guess thats why its also so popular

[@JacobCruise]

I grew up with the Diamond and Pearl anime too. Pokémon diamond on DS actually had a fundamental issue being functionally slow (like literally the game ran slow). I really think you’ll like some of the other games in the franchise

[@nintendo8127]

Sorry for long rant:
What doesn’t get talked about enough, is how D/P has a lack of ice types, too. And you could only get Weavile near the Elite 4. Abomasnow is actually good in DP because of lack of fire types and fire moves, as move tutors wasn’t a thing.
I hate it when people said that Platinum isn’t all that different from Diamond and Pearl, when that is not even true.
Not to mention they could have made Dialga and Palkia do more than just sitting in 1 location. Shadows of Almia, an underrated Pokemon game, has a great way to show Dialga messing with Time, and Palkia messing with space. So BDSP not using this really sucks.
Also, Distortion World will always mean something to me, as I have a different opinion of it than others. It is, without any doubt, my favorite place in all of Pokemon, and nothing comes close to it.

[@profpoyo]

The last complete mainline game

[@pokedude720]

I'd give that that to Unova, myself

[@GetGotSans]

Nah gen 5 definitely was good, I'm an advid lover of BW over B2W2 but you can't ignore how much B2W2 improved on BWs design

[@bmxney3143]

As a gen 4 fanboy, gen 5 might be better

PEAK POKEMON GAME

[@JacobCruise]

PEAK

[@snakeattacker2857]

Before even watching my answer will always be, yes.

[@EchonoxYT]

“MyHell” is a fitting name for Giratina lol. I had so much trouble catching it, I honestly should’ve used a master ball too

[@JacobCruise]

dude fr. 😭

[@ches2]

Never thought id hear someone say platinum is underrated lo, sick vid tho!

[@JacobCruise]

THANKS!

[@shadowbowser5674]

My all time favorite Pokemon game!

[@JacobCruise]

Yes!

[@PikaPikaLOL]

This game was my childhood. I went straight from firered to platinum, completely missing Emerald and Diamond/Pearl. I think BW2 is probably objectively better, but platinum is very special to me

[@cherrycardoza405]

Before watching this, as a 20ish year old lady who has played it through about 10 or so times as a kid and just recently went through and finished it again, no. It isn't as good as I thought it was. And in fact, barring the unfinished and inconplete nature of gen 8 and 9, I thoroughly enjoyed those games more this year.

[@cmrosend]

Did you take inspiration from echonox’s video?

[@JacobCruise]

a little but I was making this video even before him

[@crustyboyjosh2947]

@@JacobCruisebruh the intro and thumbnails are the exact same what 😭

[@JacobCruise]

@@crustyboyjosh2947 it was a coincidence that we were making the same type of video at the same time, but i spoke with him to say if it was okay to keep going with mine, and he said yes. Believe it or not, most ideas aren't unique!!! WOW!!!

[@abysswarrior]

Good vid

[@JacobCruise]

thanks

[@blacksonic125]

Idk how you got that high of level with your infernape but then again I usually use torterra

[@cloudtg462]

YES IT IS THE UNDISPUTED GOAT!🗣🗣🗣

[@JacobCruise]

🔥🔥🔥

[@randymoon]

If pokemon platinum has million number of fans i am one of them . if pokemon platinum has ten fans i am one of them. if pokemon platinum have only one fan and that is me . if pokemon platinum has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth . if world against the pokemon platinum, i am against the world.

[@JacobCruise]

it’s you

[@AyoBodee]

I simply despised gen 4 just too long and too boring, leveling up pokemon takes forever I'd rather play gen 1-3 and skip gen 4 bc its just soooooooooo bad

[@JacobCruise]

u literally get more exp in this game

[@crustyboyjosh2947]

This is the biggest grift of all time istg
