@@slevinchannel7589 It's Gen 4 at it's best but it's also very accurate to the original Diamond and Pearl version what are some of the worst games in the series, so ironically it's better when it's not accurate to the original version (like the new features, changed movepools and AI on later Gyms etc) and at it's worst when it IS accurate to the originals (like the selection of Pokemon, the Pokemon trainers use, the region etc), but overall a 7/10 type game.
Makes me wish they went the full ORAS route with it and added wild areas, Dynamax, full-on graphics update and such, because asdie from soundtrack, they really didn't improve much. And the made Cynthia's challenging team downright BROKEN.
@@MrKlausbaudelaire you mean what we were all expecting? A remake based on the best 3rd game built on the foundations of current gen systems? Man that would have been nice...
When they said Cynthia was no joke, they weren't kidding around.... Diamond and Pearl series is the only one I did not play when it first came out, so this was my first time playing both.
'From goth to boss' really cracked me up! Absolutely love that the (presumably American) writers can throw in an IT Crowd reference! Didn't think it was a comedy that was popular outside the UK.
I think it's a shame that we still haven't gotten a honest game trailers on any of the Timesplitters games yet. It just sucks that one of the greatest fps franchises has been left out of these.
My life has been entirely Pokemon since I was 9, so of course I got one of these games and played it to absolute death. But I ain't even mad. xD Honest trailers hits it out of the park once again. Btw, "dirty chicken nugget" made me cackle
I love all the names you though of for the Pokemon. That must have taken a while to do but I was laughing so damn hard. It made me think of the Game of Thrones rap with all the deaths to the Pokemon song.
@@AdamGlory: just adding more pixels and polygons do not "better" graphics make. The original D/P had an art style designed around the limitations of the system they were on. All BD/SP do is emulate that style on a system which no longer has the same limitations. It loses the charm and is in no way an improvement... certainly not one worth nearly twice the asking price of those originals.
@@AdamGlory: Well, if the guiding principle was just supposed to be as "faithful" to the originals as possible, I don't think we needed remakes at all, when we could have gotten ports at less than a third of the cost. But to entertain the idea of an actual remake, graphically I'd have wanted to see something more in line with Let's Go. Those games have a gorgeous art style that is unified across both field and battle scenes while still invoking nostalgia for the classic Game Boy originals. To be clear I'm only saying I would have wanted BD/SP to look like Let's Go, not play like them. Although the following mechanic was definitely better implemented in Let's Go game, without any of the weird scaling issues larger mon have BD/SP, not to mention the addition of some Pokémon being rideable. Setting graphics aside, BD/SP should have also included the improvements from the remake D/P already had, aka, Platinum. More of the updates from that game should have been included to make for the best Sinnoh experience possible. Along with maybe a post game Distortion Episode instead of just sticking Giratina at the bottom of an otherwise unimportant cave.
"The type of person who has to have the remaster of everything they own" As someone who owns as many remasters of things I already own as possible, I feel personally attacked.
3:33 Kinda funny to refer to MotHIM, which are male only, as Mothra, who has always been female. Although i seem to remember Mothra Leo possibly being the only male Mothra... (citation needed)
Pepe le Harrassment Claim made me stop the video so I can laugh. That was probably my favourite honest trailer ever. Now I just need to fight the urge to get the game. 🤦🏼♂
“Abra, Kadabra, Now You’re In A Cult” genuinely got me cracking up, love these names!
hahahahahahahahaha that and the beetleborg one got me
I almost choked on my lunch I was so unprepared for it and was cackling.
I losttttt it. I almost spit out my dinner and I was okay with that
I was playing Tony Hawk and I was like "Hold up- did he just-"
i laughed through the whole name thing
“Nothing numbs the pain of existing like regressing into your childhood for a few hours” that hit too close to home
See but even then I'd rather do that for free. Not spend 80 dollars!!!
Hahahah that’s exactly how Pokémon is for me-feeling called out
Why they gotta call us out like dat
Bruh.. I felt SO called out..
seriously called out there, haha ...."continues playing with 2-XL robot toy"
"Corona, Delta, Omicron" those got me rolling.
That and the before pandemic and after pandemic ones
Might use these names for my zubats
P7uu7788⁹
M
Bats
the facts that i am still laughing is kinda scare myself.
"Disney child actors when they turn 18" is accurate lol.
that one had me rolling too, too accurate
Just look at Poor Millie
Springbreakers haha
"Giving up on your dreams to work a corporate job feet"
Sounds about right.
At least it's better than working a corporate foot job.
I wanted to be a swordplay martial arts instructor in the movies........I know plan their buses.
I appreciate a lot the energy Jon put into this particular "starring". Merry Christmas, you guys!
Yeah he probably had help but I liked how some were a pretty funny commentary
I'm playing Shining Pearl as I watch this, and "barely diamond, sorta pearl" really got me
Yeah, how is it really? Without any nostalgia-goggles?

Gengar has been my favorite Pokemon since Pokemon Blue in 1998. It makes sense now
I haven't laughed that hard in a while 😂 "you're way too tired to care about anything new"
That's what we call an "Oof truth".
They really called all of us out
Ash's stepdad made me laugh a little too hard. Mr. Mime is basically a full grown man who is ALWAYS with his mom.
yeah we get it
Ash's mom's Mime is actually a female, so its technically Ash's Stepmom.
@@metaknight1410 that's actually better😏
The covid, delta, omnicron, before/after pandemic, and Ashes step-dad have me dying😂
Yes
“Up, but with the Hindenburg”
Actually made me laugh
Except they misspelled it Hindenberg (probably thinking of Heisenberg).
@Zach Edwards I do, that's why I noticed the video misspells it.
2:25 Literally the best part of every Honest Pokemon Trailer
my niece does it too
Puberty
yeah it is
Obviously we need more Pokemon remakes so that we can continue to get the Honest Trailer nicknames for all the pokemon each time! :)
We still didn't get one for Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee! 😅
@@AlMoSiCe210 dont say its name. Its best we forget.
@@awildmoose6541 why? They are not bad games
That george transition from curious to full on drag is genius 😂
That second WILSON! for Cascoon really caught me off guard 🤣
Also, perhaps you guys could do a trailer for Halo Infinite? :D
I'd love to see them roast Infinite's multiplayer. Also, "The Arbiter" lmao
Zubat line was the best part
The Corona, Delta, and Omicron had me spitting my drink out. That was perfect for that pokemon line! 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
This needs a spin-off series where you cynically try to predict what new games will be like based solely on the trailers shown off
"Machamp me father" killed me.
When they said Cynthia was no joke, they weren't kidding around....
Diamond and Pearl series is the only one I did not play when it first came out, so this was my first time playing both.
Cynthia’s Pokémon nearly wiped my team… I’m just thankful for healing items.
Yeah..... when he said the difficulty curve is a flat line I was like, not quite, its more like ________________I Just flat until the very end
@@MiriaJiyuu Assuming you don't max your affections and be overlevelled.
@@vjbd2757 thing is, is kinda hard to not overlevel considering the always on exp sharing system...
First time also but i have to ....do the...nuzlocke
So much about this is just spot on.
@MaztaPan I guess this trailer isn't _that_ honest.
'From goth to boss' really cracked me up! Absolutely love that the (presumably American) writers can throw in an IT Crowd reference! Didn't think it was a comedy that was popular outside the UK.
Came here to comment on this, too. IT Crowd is my favorite comedy from y'all's side of the pond.
Painal beads made me laugh way too hard.
As a 10+ year long pokemon fan whose played every game since gen 3, i can confirm that everything in this video is true
There not as good as they could be that I knew before I watched this trailer. But...I still want to play them.
"Before Pandemic, After Pandemic" was just amazing... and too true.
"From goth to boss" really got me. Never thought I'd witness an IT Crowd reference in a Pokemon related video.
“OK, are you a mouse or a rabbit?“
Honestly I’ve wondered the same thing about Pikachu.
Ash's Stepdad hits hard until you remember that Ash's mom has been alone at home with him for what seems like years now.
“Machamp me father” that was PERFECTION
Great job coming up with all those names. Extremely funny, they kept getting funnier and funnier
my niece guessed these pokemon names and she also called the Penguin "happy feet"
You forgot to name the glitches in the game being as broken as the original game. People wanted to spend money to see those glitches as well
When honest trailer does Legends Arceus
Me: "my God..."
My friend: "which one? You have five"
Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are such faithful remakes that they brought back Flint's original DP team.
That's what all remakes did
I think it's a shame that we still haven't gotten a honest game trailers on any of the Timesplitters games yet.
It just sucks that one of the greatest fps franchises has been left out of these.
I'm surprised TimeSplitters was even mentioned at all in this comments section.
4:23 "Before Pandemic, after Pandemic" is basically me. Ugh, I need to lose 25-30lbs
My life has been entirely Pokemon since I was 9, so of course I got one of these games and played it to absolute death. But I ain't even mad. xD Honest trailers hits it out of the park once again.
Btw, "dirty chicken nugget" made me cackle
This Honest Game Trailer has been the highlight of my 2021. Best laugh I've had all year! 😁😆😅🤣😂👍
Ok, the nicknames for the Zubat line were gold hahahah
Love the Owls of Gahool reference! Gahooligans where my owls at? Hoot hoot
Yay
My favourite trilogy Sleepy, Grumpy and Therapy explains my life so well
"The Arbiter" for Toxicroak killed me
I'm glad someone remembers Big Bad Beetle Borgs
Make an Honest Trailer for Halo Infinite
"Corona, Delta, Omicron." as harsh as that is, that was rather amusing.
I almost choked at the Total Recall reference 🤣
Big Bad Beetleborg......man you just took me so far back to my childhood. What a goated show.
Now do a Honest Trailer for Hyperdimension Neptunia
I love all the names you though of for the Pokemon. That must have taken a while to do but I was laughing so damn hard. It made me think of the Game of Thrones rap with all the deaths to the Pokemon song.
That's the most recognition guardians of ga'hoole has gotten in years
The shoutout to Pokemon Showdown is amazing. Literally the only place to ladder in Pokemon lmao
The best “starring” list of all time! That was incredible 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
"ghost of a one night stand" the best line yet.😂
Do an Honest Game Trailer for Halo Infinite
"definitely not a chao" had me snorting. Yeah, good old times.
Please make an honest trailer for Star Wars: Republic Commando
I 2nd this!
Dang it, Greg.
IT Crowd reference, FTW
Please say "Wow, I can't believe we haven't done an Honest Trailer for Dragon Age yet." Then please do an actual Honest Trailer for Dragon Age.
"From goth, ro boss..." found the IT Crowd reference.
How do they keep coming up with all those joke/puns? Must be into several hundreds of Pokemon by now! Brilliant job, whoever wrote them
At this point, I think they’ve done almost all of the nearly-900 Pokémon available.
Corona, Delta, and Omnicron made me scream laughing until I fell out the bed laughing at Before Pandemic and After Pandemic. HILARIOUS!
You have to do an IT Crowd trailer after that Goth to Boss reference
LOL at "Ash's Stepdad"
And please say, "You forget thousands of things every day; make sure this is one of them!"
It's the most wonderful time of the year, so why not celebrate it with an honest trailer for Deep Rock Galactic?
“Sleepy, Grumpy, Therapy” broke me 😂
i was so excited for the name part and i was not disappointed LMFAO
For Sayaka Kanda, say "That's all that needs to Reach your heart."
The exp share really drained all the remaining fun out of it
I think the pokemon honest trailers are some of the best. Always the funny names for 50+ pokemon. It's a great laugh. xD
As someone who stopped playing after Gen 2 and started back at X/Y I can appreciate to see what I missed in better graphics.
But the originals already had the better graphics :-p
@@EmeralBookwise As someone who stopped after this gen, I disagree.

Whoever wrote “ pigeon at the disco “ deserves a raise 😂😂😂😂 Im crying
I haven't seen such a good honest trailer for a long time
My original diamond game is broken and it’s too hard to get old Pokémon games. I wanted to be able to play gen 4 again so this was perfect for me
Just do Dragon Age so I can start asking for Oblivion again.
1:01 Oh no. People were furious when it got shown off.
4:05 might be my favourite joke name they've done yet.
You killed me with the Glameow and Purugly. XD
"The type of person who has to have the remaster of everything they own"
As someone who owns as many remasters of things I already own as possible, I feel personally attacked.
honestly i thought when you called piplup happy feet you would say wombo combo for the primplup :D
I needed to laugh that hard 🤣
So the Mukrow line is Richmond from IT Crowd.
Literally best honest game trailer I ever seen! 😂😂😂😂 died of laughter
5:07 I'm just thrilled Guardians of Ga'Hoole got some recognition.
The starring section was hilarious
The Pokemon names bit went on much longer than expected, but some of them were pretty amusing.
pretty sure Nintendo is just rereleasing the games so they get slightly updated new nicknames from honest trailers
“Greg” i can’t stop laughing
Please do an honest game trailer for Star Wars Republic Commando
5:24 Might name one Gulliver now
Diamond and Pearl was my favorite generation
3:33 Kinda funny to refer to MotHIM, which are male only, as Mothra, who has always been female. Although i seem to remember Mothra Leo possibly being the only male Mothra... (citation needed)
Pepe le Harrassment Claim made me stop the video so I can laugh.

Now I just need to fight the urge to get the game. 🤦🏼♂
The Glameow and Purugly one is painfully on point
Please do an Honest Game Trailer for Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time
Say: "It was dark. I was in my towel...when the ninjas attacked!"
Definitely one of the best Honest game trailers to date. 😂😅😂🤣😅👌
I really wish you would do Digimon Cyber-Sleuth (or I guess any Digimon game, really) just to see you name all of the Digimon in the Starring section
Now all we need is a FNAF: Security Breach Honest Game Trailer to end the year.
*Jk Swimins in Whiscash*
Legit caught me off guard & was dying laughing for 5 mins straight
