Words can't really express how hype this game was at the time. It really was something else to be a Pokemon fan during this time. My only gripe with this game was the game speed; which at this point, was more of a Gen 4 problem as a whole
The way this generation of Pokemon made the fra chose feel complete is truly incredible to look back on. The roster was perfect. The atmosphere and music were great. And the pacing, while slow, it was still a fun time to experience
I was a freshman in high school when Platinum came out in 09 and I just remember coming home after school and going to my friends house down the road to play and trade with him. Such great memories! Also, Torterra line gotta be my #2 starter line. Behind Mudkip and right before Bulbasaur
This era of Pokemon was just the best friend everyone. You were either a teenager, a 10 year old like me, or middle schooler and we were all either going back to a new adventure or starting a brand new one. Sure it happens nowadays, but the feeling of getting that DS and taking it with you hits different. So MUDKIP & BULBASAUR SQUAD LET'S GOO 👏🏼
Platinum was also my first game. As English is not my mother language, I didn’t really know what was going on storywise. This did not affect me too much… except for getting the egg from Cynthia in Eterna. I didn’t get I had to have a free spot in the party, so I got stuck in Eterna for months, but the experience was so cool I didn’t care, I leveled up like crazy in the old Chateau. When a friend managed to help me out, I had Pokémon up to level 40 hahaha
When you play your fist pokemon game, there are always things you are not sure you are even doing right, and that's okay. That's what makes these games so much fun because you are exploring a world you never had the chance to explore before.
Generation 4 was my childhood goat. I remember a friend tricked me into trading away my starter whilst I was half way into the game and so I made Golem my "Starter" after we traded Graveler and Haunter around.
5:56 I just hope it's an intentional joke, since the term "chancla" is used in Mexico, not Spain (the country in which Paldea is based) and they even belong to different continents. 😬😬
I actually just bought platinum 6 months ago and I love it along with soul silver. I see why people say it's good. I'm enjoying it. Also, I’m so dang glad that this game is only $100. Instead of $160 like Soul silver or heart gold. It took me 2 years to get all the Pokemon games that I wanted for the DS and 3DS. Getting the black and white series was the easiest to get….by accident 😆 but the hardest to get was soul silver, I had to go on a journey for that one. P.S I see why everyone loves Cynthia and I don’t blame you guys 😊👍
Duuuuude Gen 4! I got into competitive here and got the Darkrai and Shaymin events back then! Heck I still have my cartridges till now! Oh great review too! Subbed!
@@Brianycus it's an optional patch with the Renegade Platinum hack but you should be able to apply it on regular Platinum and play it in an emulator or official hardware
Hold up a second.. i was born 2009, 15, almost 16 years ago. Idk how platinum is only 14 years old when it was made a whole year before i was born? (Also, Platinum was made in 2008. 2008 + 10 is 2018. Now add 6 which makes it 16 years old, not 14)
While i love gen 4 and was playing it nonstop when it came out (i was around 15 at the time), as a fan since the RBY days i must say that for us gen 4 was very...mid..when it came out. Emerald had just taken our sh$% off and gen 4 really looked way too childish at first, and pretty basic. Many of our fandom fell off during that era and gen 5 and came back later due to the gen 6 fanservice and evolution. Nowadays, gen 4 and 5 really seem like a peak but back then they werent that much hype, because they looked like a repeated formula over and over and over again. Just a fun fact.
As a kid, Gen 4 was everything. We all had Platinum and HGSS and we would always play these whenever we can, trading, battling, or just watching in general. To me, that's what makes it peak, and also it felt complete.
@@BrianycusI use the Japanese names for the sake of honoring any Japanese series like language translating. "Flame-type" is called "Fire-type, "Magmagg" is called "Slugma", and "Donmel" is called "Numel" in the English versions. I have noticed that the "Wings" are called "Feathers" since Generation 8 to match the translation.
This has been a review I've long waited to make man.
Thoughts on Pokemon Platinum?
Let me know down below! See you with Gen 5 *soon*!

Honestly, platinum is still a favorite pokemon game
Same here. Even going back, it was like I was a kid again and brought so many good memories.
Pokemon Platinum was 1st entry into the Pokemon main series!
One of the best there is man. One of the best.
gen 4 was my fave gen. So the treatment the remakes got basically made me drop the series i won't give them anymore of my money
I mean there's always Legends Arceus and I recommend that one for all the Gen 4 lovers since it feels more of a remake than BDSP.
FINALLY! PEAK JUST DROPPED!
PEAK HAS DROPPED BABY!
Amazing champion, decent post-game, brilliant soundtrack (I'll never forget the Lakes' melody) and pretty organic level of dificulty. Gen 4 is awesome
Truly the best Gen to start your adventures

this is THE pokemon that i hold dearest. giratina is my fav legendary of all time bcos of this game. 🧡
You and me BOTH
I remember playing this game a lot when someone gave to me for free
I remember playing this game so much as a kid and it was the best highlight of my childhood for sure
U still got it?👀
@@CalebLegend sadly no
Came a long way, love the content you are making.
Yes I have. And it's only getting higher from here.
Generation 4 was my childhood goat. I remember a friend tricked me into trading away my starter whilst I was half way into the game and so I made Golem my "Starter" after we traded Graveler and Haunter around.
That Golem sounds like a true champ if you ask me
I loved the Pokémon mystery dungeon games, it made me happy to hear that they were your start! W video!
Mystery Dungeon is truly a series of all time
I was 29 when I played this game and I miss it 😢
Time flies when you're having fun huh....
5:56 I just hope it's an intentional joke, since the term "chancla" is used in Mexico, not Spain (the country in which Paldea is based) and they even belong to different continents. 😬😬
It's intentional because we have too many different words for it man 😂

Yupp. Now you see why Cynthia is the GOAT haha
@@Brianycus yes I do 😊
Another banger brianycus
That's right 🔥
I had to sub for this one plat is the best pokemon game ever 🥺🥺🙌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Duuuuude Gen 4! I got into competitive here and got the Darkrai and Shaymin events back then!
Heck I still have my cartridges till now!
Oh great review too! Subbed!

Chimchar lover
15 to 16 years later
If you watched, I said I played these games in 2010 so it's 14 years for me
Garchomp infernape eevee game is goated
Thats fair 👏🏼
@@Brianycus but red blue are my originals
Thankfully there is a speed up fix now for Platinum that does let the game run at 60fps
Really? Where? How?
@@Brianycus it's an optional patch with the Renegade Platinum hack but you should be able to apply it on regular Platinum and play it in an emulator or official hardware
@@GamingYoshi64 Oh neat. I'll try it out at some point in time but let's keep the orinigal intact for now haha
18:53, I actually one hit KO’d Garchomp with Torterra in Renegade Platinum (the pokemon I had an issue with was Milotic and Togekiss)
Milotic gives me PTSD now with how annoying it was in Emerald...
Hold up a second.. i was born 2009, 15, almost 16 years ago. Idk how platinum is only 14 years old when it was made a whole year before i was born?
(Also, Platinum was made in 2008. 2008 + 10 is 2018. Now add 6 which makes it 16 years old, not 14)
I played the game in 2010,which I said in the video!
I stopped watching at 4 min because i never played platinum yet. I had pearl as a kid and never finished it! Subbed and looking fwd to more viids
I mean if you played Pearl, you kinda already played Platinum if I’m being honest haha. Glad you enjoyed what you did watch though!
While i love gen 4 and was playing it nonstop when it came out (i was around 15 at the time),
as a fan since the RBY days i must say that for us gen 4 was very...mid..when it came out.

Same here man. It's the best one for me personally outside of Black & White
@@Brianycus nice. My top three are
Platinum
Legends Arceus
Ultra Sun/Moon
Solid top three 👏🏼
@@Brianycus thanks
I have the same memories in wraparound
What's wraparound?
@@Brianycus it's what my school called thier after school program. We used to bring our DS and battle all the time
@@bazzam429 Ohhh so you had the same memories as me! How cool!
Hate to say this but i still like fourth gen especially platinum but I played it recently and I feel like it was heavy to play .
It was definitely one of the more beefier games back in the day for sure
i want a copy of this game so bad
DO IT
@@Brianycus if i had a way to buy an authentic copy under 100$ i would. i’m just tryna play the GOOOOOD DAAAMMMMN game.
Man 👨 i miss 😢this era monkey 🙈 penguin 🐧 turtle 🐢 gliscore 🦂 drapion
More Flame-type Pokémon could be added. Magmagg and Donmel are left over.
...who?
@@BrianycusI use the Japanese names for the sake of honoring any Japanese series like language translating.

Ohhhh I see
There is actually a reason why it is similar to gen 3 yes it is unoriginal but if you want to know
More
Gen5's next. You better give it the respect that it deserves 🙂🔫
Oh the thumbnail and the script is definitely giving it some love
🤢🗑️🔥
Nah

Damn...but hopefully you had a fun time!
I believe in ds pokemon supremacy
For me its better than hg/ss.
