      Some species are still version exclusive, and he said "completing" the Pokedex by seeing, not catching. It was a requirement of the previous Diamond and Perl for getting the National Dex. In other words you still need to catch Pokémon for completing the Pokedex.

    This is the first overall positive review I’ve seen for BDSP on CZcams and it’s so refreshing. A lot of the other CZcamsrs, even when they were giving helpful hints, would give side comments about how they wish the game was more this than that or just complain about the game isn’t faithful to Platinum even though Diamond and Pearl are the original games.
    But this review has got me psyched about playing it today (in South Korea and my copy arrives today).

      @@tbknick6703 Aw, that sucks if true. I wanted to make sort-of mirror teams between BD and Legends. BD having a Glaceon, Legends having Leafeon. BD would've been Torterra, Staraptor, Floatzel, Rampardos, Glaceon, and Garchomp. Legends would've been Infernape (I'm sorry to say this, but I don't like any of the starters Legends gives us; it's not that I don't like them, it's just that in their own respective games, none of them would be my first choice), Floatzel or Bibarel, Honchkrow, Leafeon, Mamoswine, and either Lucario, Garchomp, or Hisuian Zoroark (I have a feeling Zoroark is going to be very popular and probably widely used, but I don't care; I don't mind being a basic-bitch when I'm know I'm right). I also don't know if there are fossil Pokemon are in Legends, I like Rampardos more anyway and Mamoswine already kind-of fits that fossil role, I also kind of want a grass type for a little variety and something to deal with water, rock, and ground which there's a lot of those (most of the water types are also ground types) in Sinnoh/Hisui.

    It was weird, but also kind of fun, listening to the remix of Alolan title screen playing in the background of John's video.
