  • After 8 months of comments asking to make this video, it's finally here. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are without a doubt the hardest games to catch all the regional Pokemon, and today we're going to figure out if we can catch them all in under 24 hours. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

      He knows that it was a bomb. It’s hard to ignore that when he plays Platinum which has every sign of the bomb exploding. I bet you’re one of the few people who don’t know what this thing called a joke is, because he was making one.
      Yes I’m aware there’s a 90% I’m about to get on r/whooosh but when your joke is "this joke is bad and should be changed" then really it shouldn’t count.

      The only reason i got regigias in my one playthrough of Diamond is because I imported my regis that I got painstakingly from gen3. I think thats how youre supposed to do it too, meaning Regigigas is probably the most time consuming legendary to catch in any game.

      @Luca-Robert Stewart you're supposed to send them from Hoenn, but they added the event in Platinum to make it possible without a GBA game. The act of catching a Pokemon is more exciting than being given one, so the ability to catch the 4 regis in an event is a much more exciting way of describing it than saying that you are given a regigigas to gain the ability to catch regigigas

      Hey man you got off a lot better than I did, started Diamond when I was like 6, I know, playing the most unforgiving pokemon game as a 6 y/o was not the smartest move. Granted I didn't know that at the time but still. I didn't actually finish Diamond until I was 16 having roflstomped every generation before and after 4, beat Pokémon Sun, gave up on Ultra Sun because its literally the same boring game, that I finally returned to Pokémon Diamond after not even touching it once in 10 years, reset the game from my roadblock at Cynthia so I could play through without only leveling Infernape (because lets be honest Infernape gets the best coverage out of all the gen 4 starters) curve-stomped Cynthia, and eventually obtained all the pokemon in Diamond, even the events because im cheeky like that and use the void...… its been a long 11 years since I started that shit.... still my favorite game out of all of them. Since then I've beaten it 5 or times. Times like this when I remember that when I was 6 and first trying out the game I actually reset my game because I thought I needed Dig to climb up something I needed Rock Climb for. Good times.

      czcams.com/video/Sh0AZR-tKwM/video.html here's one i used. Keep in mind Gen 5 is easier to do because you can use a 3DS and any wi fi connection. Gen 4 sometimes doesn't work on newer routers.

      It isn't shiny, in platinum the colours of gligar are very messed up, but it's easy to see if it's shiny by looking at the superior part of its wings. Shiny gligar in platinum has a darker blue in its wings than the blue in its body, while regular gligar, the one he caught, has a purple-blue tone in its body and the wings have a much lighter colour than it.
      So it's not shiny
