Let me know your thoughts on Generation 4! Hope you're having a good one :]
My favorite region hands down so many good mems from this gen it was my childhood! Thank you for this video!
Platinum was my first Pokemon Game, and honestly I haven't found a Pokemon game that I love as much as it since. My major issue with HG/SS is that it doesn't work on the DS XL, which since It took me a year to earn the money for the DSXL and then another month to make the money to buy SS I found extremely disappointing, like here is this platform and this game that both came out as the same time by the same company but they don't work together for some reason.
@@benandring365 ss doesn't work on xl?
@@Eruptor1000 Nope
@@benandring365 That's crazy lmao do you know why?
Saving A LOT of data...
When you play for like 7 hours and it takes the same amount of time to save
It saves a lot of data if you use the PC
Don't turn off the power...
Aaaa the sweet memories of waiting half an hour in agony for saving after catching a legendary.
An awesome generation.
I don’t remember how long DP saving took but Platinum’s was fine
Gen 4 will always be my favorite gen of all time. I really think that gen 4 was the golden era of Pokemon :( I miss it so damn much
Matthew Williams agreed, I haven’t felt that same feeling the way I did when I played those games since.
Agree 100% I never even noticed the slowness of the games as a kid. All I cared about was the awesome pokemon and region itself.
To me gen 5 was the last amazing pokemon games they're also my favorite while gen 6 had one of the best features ever mega evolutions everything else was just bad to me atleast
Same dude
It really was
Heartgold/Soulsilver and Emerald were both directed by Shigeki Morimoto, both games offered a Battle Frontier
I know the name from somewhere but I can’t pinpoint what. You know anything else he’s been involved in?
@@leviewings4689 m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shigeki_Morimoto
@@leviewings4689 Perhaps the Morimoto trainer battle in the Game Freak building in Generation 5 post game?
Okay, turns out that I was thinking of one of the writers for the Pokémon Adventures manga. My brain did a bit of a flop there but I will now make a point to remember the name. Thanks for the info.
Thedudeaccrosthestreet have you played each different building in the battle frontiers?
honestly considering how flawed dp was then platinum happened makes me think how much more positively people would look at gen 6 if z happened
Jayden C YESS
Having all the Zygarde forms and Magearna in gen 6 instead of being shoehorned into gen 7, getting Eternal Floette released, maybe even getting new Megas, possibly a story remix to be less boring... Yeah that would have been great.
@@SongbirdOfficial I found the plot kinda interesting really...but yeah those changes even the magearna one would be interesting.
@@Jdudec367 My bad, should have phrased it better- I mean the pacing and characterization could use some work. There are some stretches like between the first and second gyms that feel way too long and your "rivals" are so pathetic and one-dimensional that they become annoying quickly. They could try giving them (and some of the Gym Leaders tbh) some character or changing the badge order around like they did in Platinum.
@@SongbirdOfficial that all sounds pretty good and I agree. Even as my first pokemon games I can safely and happily say it has probably the worst rivals. Diantha isn't exactly a very good champion either.
Gen 4 is definitely my favourite Gen overall, it had 2 amazing main series games Platinum and HGSS. It also had great spin offs like the Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games.
Pokemon battle revolution
My first and favorite gen,
I think this explains it all. Back when these versions came out, the franchise was at it's highest popularity, and the kids who played them lacked the judgment and had the excessive amounts of time required to play and enjoy these pieces of slow bogged-down, low quality, ugly messes of games.
Same
@@Gatitasecsii stop it, get some help.
Hello fellow 4th gener 😊
Yup
Hg,ss,platinum are the best Pokémon games of all time..
Lord Zabuza I agree with you so much also you can throw black and white and 2 and also emerald
Thedudeaccrosthestreet no
Thedudeaccrosthestreet not a flaw but I’ve never played them
Thedudeaccrosthestreet I didn’t say how good they were
@@antonioiniguez1615 it's his opinion. Shut up
"In my opinion" this was the best Pokemon generation and I have the best memories from it because it's the region I started in.
Cynthia was sooo hard and memorable and took so many times to beat.
Infernape awesome pokemon and Platinum was amazing. Funny fact my Infernape on Platinum just became 10 years old like a week ago so it's been a while.
It gets my vote for best era of pokemon in terms of games you had great main games in gen 4 and 5, great spinoffs like pokemon ranger, mystery dungeon, conquest and more and even a battle game on the wii battle revolution. It had everything during that era... shame we have to squabble over no national dex now and mobile spinoffs ☹
Yo my Infernape from platinum became ten years old about a couple weeks ago
@@AlphaladZXA so true
@@antherpanther301 that's awesome!
@@Eruptor1000 happy b day for ur infernape
Gen 4 is flawed but it is a great generation adds a lot of lore to the world of pokemon which is something that should have been brought up the fact that Sinnoh and Johto now have an established connection together. Oh also kanto and hoenn also share this feature which I should have brought up. ONE big thing is how this generation really established event/mythical pokemon such as Darkrai, shaymin, and even the spiky eared pichu!
TrainerNeosV15 diamond and pearl is flawed but gives you a good challenge and frustrates you at some times
TrainersNeo. I agree. Which one is your favorite out of these games? Mine is Heartgold and Soulsilver. But Platinum is still great.
Platinum is my favorite Pokemon game and it's why Sinnoh is my favorite region!
Oh and Soulsilver could also arguably be my favorite too. I no longer have the game seeing as I gave it to someone, but, the memories and _magic_ of that game are still with me to this day. Absolutely timeless!
That’s a shame that you gave that game away. It is going up in value quite a bit and in the future I’m thinking it will be worth a lot. Luckily you can still play soul silver through emulators though
@@subscribebecauseiwontmakea9550 lol i made the same mistake as him but luckily i found the game selling for near the same retail price as 2010 on Ebay
@@segunthepikachufan1470 you better make it isnt a fake
Steven Navarro I second this definitely make sure it’s preowned bc if it shows little to no wear or it’s super cheap then there’s a chance it’s a reproduction cart which work fine but have issues such as not being able to play wireless at all for example. Also looking at the game card sticker with the Nintendo seal of approval.
Also worst case scenario if you want to buy the game again you could always go to gamestop it’s like $60 but at least it’s authentic
This is definitely my favorite generation. HG/SS are probably my favorite games, and I really love Sinnoh to the point that i'm more excited for a Sinnoh remake than a new generation on the switch
Great video!!
69 nice 👍
Guess what the remakes look bad and the new game is in Sinnoh;)
GEN 4 IS THE BEST GEN YOU CAN NOT CHANGE MY MIND
Its not but ok
Sure it is. But unfortunately we can't change other people mind ;)
Woah there, someone left caps lock on
Gen 5 would like a word with you.
H.F Gaming gen 5 was where Pokemon started going downhill wdym
Gen 4 is pretty much the “God” of all gens. Not only does it improve world building by teaching us about the creation of Time, Space, Distortion World, and God itself but it has the single most important improvement of any gen. Special/physical split. This made bad Pokémon good. Nothing will ever beat this. I started my Pokémon adventure in Hoenn so this isn’t nostalgia speaking. Gen 4 is genuinely a gen that is high above the rest. If you don’t think so then i recommending you stop whatever you’re smoking.
Most of that is true, but my main reason for a dislike of gen 4 is the speed. 4:00 in the video, to be exact.
If we don't share ur opinions we're stoners ? lmao
@@charizard7666 The speed was rough. Idk how they thought that was ok. I'm not going to defend that but in that light all gens have some kind of problem. I'm emphasizing the big important parts gen 4 brought to us.
@Pikminologue Raisin Exactly. Whatever your personal feelings may be of gen 4 it's still a cut above the rest.
@@ColdEmperor Not disagreeing with you, gen 4 was amazing, but imo gen 5 takes the cake. Gen 5 for me is the perfect pokemon generation, good pace, story, characters, pokemon, and art. But yeah if b/w2 weren't a thing gen 4 would definitely be the best imo. (and this isn't bias, I've been playing pokemon since the original Gold and Silver)
I do think Platinum is an great game. But am I the only person that think it's kinda overrated?
And then we got the Gen 4 remakes without the distortion world. We fell so much lol
Gen 4 = GOAT
Wish you could’ve talked more about HGSS because those really made gen 4 perfect along side platinum
And the spinoff series too just makes the DS era the best in terms of games
Alpha AX I know right? Gen four spin off games were the most popular and the most I played thru
Thank you for the Etika tribute it was very thoughtful of you.
Rest in peace.
LionRS2014 I hope this doesn't sound rude but why does he get so much attention? Hes a gay guy who died but that's pretty much it.
@@antonioiniguez1615 He made a lot of people happy and that's why. No inherent reason.
LionRS2014 Oh ok. A lot of people were talking about him and I wondered why.
Thedudeaccrosthestreet i don’t think he was gay. He had a girlfriend
@@antonioiniguez1615 he was loved in the smash and nintendo community. Saying he was just a "gay guy who died" is very disrespectful
Sinnoh Gang rise up
Sinnoh gang gang
It'll take a while
Anon BonBon hahahahaha brilliant
Gen 4 will always be my favorite gen. No pokemon game ever got as much love put into it as heartgold and soul silver. Gen 6 and 7 are laughable in comparison. You can truly see the dip in quality with the newer games
there underrated honestly gen 4 wouldn't be remembered aswell if not for platinum I remember that tamashi actually made a 40 something minute review and she honestly hates gen 4 she may bring up some good points IMO ultra sun and moon are some of the best games
Actually Gen 7 did have good effort put into it, but tbh I think Gen 8 had like -10% love put into it. And with x and y you aren’t wrong
Gen 4 has the best games omfg it's no competition

Not with that dex. Low quantity mid quality
*Gen 5 just wanted to correct that
Gen 4 has the greatest Pokémon designs
If we just talk about the first set of Pokémon games per generation and not the 3rd versions or remakes, Diamond & Pearl might be my favourite along with Gold & Silver.
Gen 4 is my 2nd favorite. While DP had it rough, Platinum polished many things and became one of the best, and HGSS is such a gem. Seeing how expensive those game are online nowadays makes me appreciate more my old cartridges.
I must add, I hate the Honey trees mechanic, making you wait IRL hours just for a chance to encounter a Pokemon, and only having a few hours until said Pokemon goes away, was not fun.
You can change ds's calender to make the process faster

@@michaelmodernsonicfan5341 no
Gen 4, or specifically Platinum, was what seriously got me into Pokémon outside of Gen 1. While it has problems such as the SLOWNESS and the GTS, it introduced me to my 2nd favorite generation and the 2nd generation through HGSS.
You forgot to mention the sound tracks dude
Eterna is still my favorite town song of all. So pleasant and laid back.
@@Sygmus6 Eterna is sick it sounds almost historical
Gen 5 had the best music, tho the legendarys had some lit themes
@@michaelmodernsonicfan5341 nah, imo gen 7 has the best music, sword and shield has good music but no where near as good as gen 7.
RIP Etika, couldnt tell if you were short or if he was just tall
both, but mostly because he was a giant
He once said on stream he was about 6'5".
Sinnohs exploration is the best for me, the issue with the number of HMs required imo was that most are pretty bad as moves, at least for single player, so yeah the necessary HM slave at some points is a small downside. But ultimately my favorite region. I actually love route 217 because it's like... How can I put this... It's like I'm IN the region y'know? Like you're experiencing Sinnoh, the region is alive and it's climate in full force for the first time aside from Hoenn's ocean. Not just 217 either, the mountainous aspects with how important Coronet is are also great to me. Though i get why some wouldn't like it.
And idk about everyone in team galactic aside from Cyrus being forgettable, I really like the admins. It's the first time I could distinguish between them personality wise and they have more presence than the admins before and honestly most that came after. You have Jupiter who's important to Barry's arc, Mars' fight at valley windworks is infamous and your first sign of danger, Saturn is the calmest/most "honorable" when he lets you free the lake trio and then Charon in Platinum who tries to run things after Cyrus stays in Dist.World. I don't think most could remember what the magma and aqua admins looked like before the ORAS redesigns. Admittedly they are outlandish looking, though it's likely the point and they rock it lol.
8:08 Yeah, about that...
4th gen will always be my favourite the amount of content in platinum and HG/SS made the journeys feel so personal like even after the elite four it was only the beginning unlike X,Y which made it feel like the end. also the music for this gen was heat and making a team in platinum and HG/SS was so fun with the variety and added evolution forms.
Gen 4 is my favorite
Platinum and HG/SS are the best games integrated series and Sinnoh and Jotho are my favorite regions by far.
Gen 4 also contains some of my all time favorite Pokémon and Rivals.
As for Diamond and Pearl I also really enjoy these games but the level difference between the 8th Gym and the Elite 4 and Cynthia is just ridiculous.
My Teams mostly contain Infernape, Staraptor and Luxray either of them were always a part of my Sinnoh playthroughs. 🥰
I also really liked the 5th gen but these two gens are the ones which I started with. 😂❤️
This is my second favourite generation next to 3
Best generation
Best pokemon
Best champion
Best rival
Best gym leaders
Best evil team
Ehh... yea Galactic>Rocket but Giovanni is definitely the better character compared to Cyrus
Best game at being slow.
@@arcausx7575 yeah but I love Cyrus s team more
Mars and Jupiter and the guy are awesome characters
DPP gym leaders are among the worst in my book
Gen 4 gave us Cynthia and she's one of the best characters and champions in all of Pokemon!
I’d say she’s at least top 10
@@sandslashproductions4037 ok woman hater leon/red simp
Gen 4 Pros: Good pokemon designs, physical special split, Cynthia Dawn, first online interractions for the series, national pokedex.
Cons: way to slow in gameplay iven worse in thick snow, region is ok, getting back your pokemon from previous games was a chore.
While I do like Platinum, my biggest problem with the Sinnoh games is not only are the HM's more expansive that are overuse compared to the likes of Gen. 3, but the level curves that u encounter is ridiculous. I don't mind the challenges. But I do think the Sinnoh games went an little bit overboard.
replaying them is horrible for me even worse the gen 7 you might think gen 7 is bad with cutscenes but at least something other then loading happens in them
My favorite gen was gen 4, but In my opinion, pokemon piqued at gen 5, but gen 7 was a really great runner up to gen 5. Again, own opinion, personally I grew up in gen 5 but god I love the world of sinnoh so much
Have you played gen 3? If not I would highly recommend it.
@@DovahSheep I've really been meaning too, but I wanted to finish all of my other runs first
@@TheAshofdarkness That's fair, it's my personal favorite, but I quite like gen 4 as well
Damn you guys make me feel old. Platinum and Gen5 was when I REstarted playing the Pokemon games, having previously stopped at Gen2 because my parents didn't buy me a GBA
@@houndofculann1793 I played gen 1-3 growing up and then didn't play for a long time until X and Y came out. Then I went through and caught back up and that was the last one I played.
While gen 4 isn't my favorite gen.
(Gen 5 is my fav)
I would consider it probably as the best generation out of all of them.
Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum being amazing games, an amazing gen 2 remake, and great spinoffs the series has made.
There really isn't anything bad out of this generation other than maybe a couple missteps but I can't remember them if there is any.
One of the best gens out there no doubt.
No doubt about it.
This is the kind of stuff GameFreak needs to keep doing.
Damn money can make anyone go haywire.
@Juno Not if you are a Pokemon collector. I think it's expected that each gen means more of a challenge than the previous one. I personally want to have them reach 1000 Pokemon before even considering a cut, filling up the 3-digit index to its potential. Also they said it was a decision they didn't like so if you're to believe them then they will try to find a way to get them all again if they can.
I love your intro music, always sounds so epic and full of adventure! :)
You know what was really bad in HGSS? TMs and Movepools. Did you know that Espeon needed to roll with Psybeam til Level 64, without you having the ability to teach them Psychic via TM, because all of the cool TMs were locked in Kanto's friggin Game Corner...
Yeah that was an equally large issue from GSC that sadly carried over for quite a few Pokemon in the remakes
Gen 4 was a great era of pokemon
Platinum was the first Pokemon game I played entirely in Japanese. I was still a noob so I was extremely slow, but it was certainly memorable and a good learning experience.
Weirdly enough I just started playing through platinum randomly just a couple days ago
Funny enough I've been replaying platinum too on an emulator .
What emulator do you use ?
@@mattdee8488 it's called Desume
hey same here, nothing better to do while I’m quarantined
Rest in peace, Desmond. We'll miss you.
Can't wait for the Gen 5 review!
Gen 4 was my favorite, really glad you made this video (:
Platinum, ORAS, then heart gold are the best.
How to make a Pokemon game to please all the fans:
● Have the base difficulty and explorability of Platinum (maybe an additional toggle difficulty option for an even harder mode)
● Include the amount of features and content of HG and SS including the (phenomenal!) post game content
● Have the maturity and expansive story of Gen 5
● Make the npc characters as memorable as these two gens
● Make getting legendaries and mythical a true event again
● If it's in 3D still, have the animations of PKM Collosium and make the world look enticing to explore; if it's back in 2D again, use the sprite animations from B2 and W2
Honestly gen 4 is my favorite because it had the best meta. It was at a point where there was just enough aggression to prevent stall wars, but not enough to create a power creep. The pokemon had relatively balanced stats, and the physical special split benefitted almost every pokemon. Gen 5 was also great game-wise, but the meta started to get a power creep, and gen 6 and 7 added more pokemon and balanced the power creep out with megas and z moves to improve not so viable pokemon, but gen 4 just felt like such a volatile meta, almost anything (except for pokemon weak to stealth rock) could do pretty well
Love Gen 4
Moved from NY to FL in 07 right when DP came out. I pre-ordered and got the special stylus. This was the last gen I really got into until after Gen 6 came out. I played Diamond and never played platinum until last year. I never played the johto remakes either. I missed out on alot thanks to puberty but it was a special place in time for me that I hold dear.
Gen 4 and 5 were truly wonders. Although I like gen 3 quite a lot too, gen 4 improved massively on the graphics which was sweet.
Jaida: "Look over there!"
The last great generation...
Also RIP etika
Gen 5 is fantastic the hell are you on about
I lost intrest in ORAS and gen 5 was meh
Gen 5?
nah G5 is da best
@@randommonkeydude only BW2 was good tho
Diamond was my first gen when I was around 7-8. Hooked me on the series forever. Its the gen I've spent the most time on by far. Maybe its because I had more time as a kid but I actually did the contests and the underground with my friend. Its not my favorite game, but its where it all started for me.
when I play Diamond now, I'm really bothered by how slow everything is. But when I was younger I didn't mind, I liked not rushing and just taking my time walking through snow and all that.
Gen 4 was good. It's my favorite.
My very first Pokémon game was Red version, and I played Pokémon religiously after that. But there was something about Gen 4. Gen 4 came out when I was 12, so I guess because it was my coming of age years maybe I was able to find new appreciation. I understood more about the games than I ever did before. This was the Generation where I stopped challenging the E4 with my starter and 5 random Pokémon that were just the highest level Pokémon I could find in the wild (though I did nearly complete the Pokédex in Emerald), this was where I started actually team building and honestly building synergetic teams is an obsession of mine ever since 😅
Gen 4 Pokem was Pokemon in my PRIME!!!!
I believe it''s the best generation, i mean, Platinum and HG/SS? How can you beat that?
I'm gonna be honest here and say HGSS is kinda overrated. It is definitely the best of the remakes and is one of the better main series titles out there, but there are a few problems I had with it. The lack in variety of Pokemon was a problem in the original versions and though it's been patched up a *little bit* it's still a bit of a problem. The level curves are also probably the worst in the series. By the 8th gym almost all the trainers have pokemon in the level 30s yet all the wild pokemon are in the early 20s. That is just sad. The post game isn't really that good either, it's basically you exploring a more boring region than the one in the main story and is also one you've explored 3 times prior in the series. It's the largest postgame in the series by default, but it's not really that impressive due to how small the first half is. I'm kinda hesitant to even call it a post game, it feels more like a natural progression of the main adventure rather than an extension. HGSS are definitely great games, I'd place in at #4 in my personal list of favorite main series titles, but I still enjoyed Platinum, BW and B2W2 more.
Same here man, I hate that HGSS master race stuff. Every pokemon game is good at its own thing. And BW for the win dude
To be fair, the level curved issue was also in Platinum as well. But in my honest opinion, I think the Sinnoh games kinda have it the worst than Johto.
RIP Etika. A sibling of mine probably would have loved to meet him though I didn't follow him much.
Hmm, now I wonder if a big reason why I didn't finish Diamond or Pearl and fell out of the series is due to the pace of the game and series as well as other stuff at the time.
That could leave an impression even if I didn't play for that long. Seems Platinum and HGSS were really worth my interest later on but maybe later.
Platinum and hgss are expensive now too like 40 to 50$ on ebay alot, but in terms of games the DS era is worth your time with the spinoff games like ranger, mystery dungeon, conquest and more are all great
@@AlphaladZXA I'm definitely interested in the spinoffs too since I liked Snap and didn't really give the others besides Pokken via a demo a shot.
Thanks for the reminder, they may be more for me than the recent games.
You need to Play Platinum
I was a massive Pokefan when Gen 1 and 2 came out. I played Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, and Silver. Missed Crystal. But I played all of those, and beat 'em all. Along with spending time trading with friends. I also bought toys, collected the cards, went and watched the first movie in theaters... I was way into Pokemon.
Then.... gen 3 happened. I missed R/S/E completely. I didn't even know they existed. Somehow I ended up getting Fire Red, but still didn't know about RSE.
And then Diamond and Pearl got announced. I was hyped as hell. Pearl was the first game I ever pre-ordered. Got the neat Palkia stylus and everything. And, well, I loved it. I played the absolute hell out of it. It was my first NEW Pokemon game since Gold and Silver. Once I beat the E4, I spent most of my time on the old Nintendo Nsider forums swapping friend codes to trade Pokemon. I had all of gen 1 and 4, most of 2, and like half of 3. Even had a few shinies I managed to trade for. And then my DS got stolen, along with the games. I was not happy. And as an aside, I spent way too much time in the underground.
Due to my DS up and running off, I missed HG/SS.
I did eventually get an original 2DS thanks to a friend gifting me one. But I was broke as hell and couldn't buy games for it. And homebrew kinda sucked at the time. Wasn't until like, a year ago that I finally homebrewed my 2DS and tossed a ridiculous amount of games on it. I have every generation of Pokemon from 1 to 7 on it, as well as an unofficial Pokemon Bank that lets me transfer between the games. So I've been slowly playing through each generation (not really in any order), and transferring the Pokemon over to Ultra Moon. So far I've finished Platinum and Black. Playing Black 2 currently. Then I'll probably swap to ORAS. I'll most likely save HG/SS and FR/LG for last since I've played gen 1 and 2 to death.
I remember stealthily playing with my friends in class and using the pictochat to talk. Good times
Still have my OG team from Diamond in 2007, now they’re in Ultra Moon. I’ll always move them up to the most recent available game. Sure D/P are flawed but Diamond is still my favorite Pokémon game, followed closely by Emerald and Soulsilver.
In my humble and personal opinion Lucario is greatest Pokémon to ever exist
Platinum best there is ...
I absolutely loved Plat. I probably lost to the elite 4 at least 10 times before I finally beat them with most of my team, including lv70 Giratina, beaten to a pulp, just to find out I had to face Cynthia. Needless to say, I got rektd and lost to her like 20 times over again. I got mad and restarted the whole game. On the 2nd playthrough I lost twice, went Hyperbolic time chamber mode, and pretty much wanked the elite 4 with my Infernape, Starapter, Togetic, and Giratina and pretty much solo'd Cynthia with Lucario. On my 3rd playthrough, I duo'd all of them with my Infernape and Lucario, I mean seriously, close combat was busted (I also had Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga but didnt wanna be OP). My Togetic evolved into that kite thing so I stopped using it lol. 😔😔😔 the good ol days, hope a remake comes, I never caught Arceus.
Why do you dislike Togekiss? Togetic desperately needed a 3rd evo IMO
I beat the gen 4 elite four and champion 1st try with a level 55 team and didn't even use giratina
3:00 Your Persian’s name was Indian... i get it 😂😂
Platinum was my first game in the series and I have so much nostalgia for it and after that I got Soul silver and have so much nostalgia for that as well
Best gen and sad that cant get event legendaries like Darkrai nonethelesss god tier
I miss the gen 3-5 era of Pokémon. The only games that weren't top tier were Diamond and Pearl, everything else was fantastic.
I'm here from the future to tell you no distortion world in 3d. Now run my child and kidnap masuda in a bag and don't let him out until he vows to make a distortion world in the remakes.
I do believe that Generation 4, specifically the original three games, is the best generation to introduce someone to, and I’m not just saying that because it was the generation that introduced me to the main series.
The games are just basic enough to get a grasp on how the main series works while being interesting enough to set itself apart from any future Pokémon games you intend to play.
Also, going in with Gen 4 as your first means you probably won’t have a problem with the speed. You wouldn’t have anything to compare it to, and most likely wont even notice in the future until people start pointing it out. That’s what happened to me at least. And exposure to faster Pokémon games did not decrease my enjoyment at all.
Diamond was my very first Pokémon game, so gen 4 will always have a special place in my heart
Gen 4 is what I started with, and to this day if remains my favourite as well as infernape still being my favourite pokemon. As well as a few others being among my favourites
same gen 4 Platinum was my very first video game
Mine is Heartgold and Soulsilver. But Platinum is still an great game nevertheless. It was the gen that brought me back into the franchise after the lacklustering and boring of Gen. 3; not counting the remake of Gen. 1.
I'm expecting Gen 5 to be a LONG one when it comes to reviewing the games. Story? 1000% there.
Oh yeah, PWT for the win my boys.
But god, I have to mention it... I miss Etika. Why do the best ones have to suffer? Come on man... I couldn't hold myself together when I found out (rather quick too, as I got the Twitter notification from NYPD while I was on Twitter, hoping for good news... it didn't come). I had to leave the Summer School classroom, I was feeling so much pain and sadness... JPR, Thank you for the tribute in the beginning. It was touching.
Thank you for the kind words my friend :)
JPRPokeTrainer98 thank you for being such an amazing person JPR.
Besides the mainline games, the reason why I also love gen 4 a lot is because of the amount of spinoff games we got from that generation. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky and Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia and Guardian Signs are practically the best games in their respective series
I almost guarantee that Gen 4 remakes will come out in 2021 or 2022 because it will for sure run on sword and shield's engine and it will come out at least a year after Gen 8
From my time playing Shining Pearl, I would say that the Sinnoh region feels like a fusion of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. There's elements of all 3 regions combined into 1 and I've come to appreciate Gen 4 more than before.
Currently playing my SoulSilver again, up to 250h of gameplay. I loved the gen2 games, especially Crystal.
Honestly Diamond and Pearl are fantastic to me, the issues you raise just don’t matter to me much, I’ve never had a more beautiful gaming experience than playing through Diamond
My Experience with gen 4 when it was the current Generation: I had only had Diamond version for sinnoh, I started with Piplup first but immediately went to Chimchar after the third gym, in fact i think i restarted this game to change things how i went through this game more than any other game, Eventually i decided to make a team that had Pokemon that my rival did not use in his team for that playthrough, I eventually Defeated the sinnoh league with Partner the Infernape, Weasel the Floatzel, Blimp the Drifblim, Skunk the Skuntank, Shocker the Raichu, and Winter the Abomasnow, and raised them to levels 59-63. It was the game that i finally learned how to raise a team of pokemon instead of just use my starter and legendary pokemon to try and beat the story, and the advantage of not using pokemon withsimilar typing. It was actually the easiest game to win up to that point for me until i went back to the old games and tried the same approach on them, Big difference from first time playing and replaying with the new approach, I had Heart Gold as my Gen 4 Jhoto Game, and It was tricky trying to put together a team, i eventually ended up using a poor team that i barely won with, Typhlosion, Noctowl, Kingler, Ampheros, Umbreon, and Parasect. Not my proudest team due to my play style at the time, but hey i was still learning.I never did beat the kanto after game with that team, I was stuck on Brock of all people. 0_0'
4rth gen is a very lonely generation- That danm nighttime pokemon center theme...
and one of the darkest gens
xyzzy51273 Truthfullness.
@@xyzzy-dv6te darkest probably goes to black and white where ghetis tried to kill you and controled N
My list is
Greninja
Sceptile
Snorlax
Infernape
Charizard
Krokodile
Thats the best list. Goodra is no powerhouse, it has a 100% win rate just because it rarely battled stupids.
and that is why gen 4 is my second fav pokemon
Pokémon diamond was my first ever Pokémon game and despite its flaws it will always hold a special place in my heart
I still remember those days, damn it's so long ago already, that I went to school, having a bad time at home / didn't liked school at all for the first time in my life, and then I just was happy it was recess, so I could sit in the hallway, have my iPod on with some good music (Mostly trance, classic or even Pokémon music that I could download by using Isohunt/Vuze) and play Soul Silver the whole recess long. Like that is the only moment I really miss from school back then. It gave me so much rest and I had so much fun playing this game with the music on. It will forever be with me.
And I must say, compared do D/P/PT, I actually LOVED these games, they where in my eyes complete games. Kanto and Johto, childhood memories all over again, but then with better mechanics/looks and whatnot. I didn't really like GEN4 a lot, but the remakes of gen2 I will play a lot of times, again. Like, each new generation, the weeks before the games comes out, I replay the whole of Soul Silver again. Just for the fun of it xD It are the best games, soul silver is :P
Now gonna watch the video.
Gen 4 is what introduced me to Pokemon. It's my favorite generation with my favorite champion. Before generation 4 I was a Mario and Zelda kind of guy.
Generation 4 was the peak of Pokemon.
I once got a Shiny Deoxys from the GTS for a Pelipper, so jokes on you about the bartering lessons
Platinum fixed everything wrong and then they give us remakes of games keeping EVERYTHING wrong lol
I am playing through every pokemon game, currently on Black 2. Only doing the third/enhanced versions of each. I'll tell you one thing... Yellow and Platinum were very hard to play through. Slow and often tedious. I believe they are the most challenging ones but I don't think it's due to actual challenge but the instead the very slow nature. Leveling up is a painstaking slog. I love them to death though and think they are fantastic games but compared to others it feels quite dated when others hold up well. (Yellow feels dated for obviously it is the oldest.)
Anyway, great review and keep up the good work!
Very weird of you to complain about Platinum level grind being hard and not even mention the Gen2 games where it's actually a problem. Platinum's VS Seeker is one of the easiest level grinding tools in any of the games
@@houndofculann1793 It certainly helps but in my opinion, it still doesn't help considerably. You have to recharge it running around and hope that the trainers with strong pokemon are the ones that want a rematch. The leveling system is slow on its own and is not as consistent as later gens. I found Gen 3 to be better and Gen 1/2 have their own issues that I find overshadow the leveling, even though it's a problem as well. Platinum is amazing and one of my favorite games ever and took many steps in the right direction. Hopefully they bring back a way to rematch trainers again in S/S.
@@houndofculann1793 Also, just for the record, I never stated the level grind was hard. I said the game was hard to get through. The leveling was slow and tedious and not as fun as it could or should have been. The challenge only exists if you don't sink hours of your time rematching the same trainers over and over again. It may be fun to some but I find it boring.
Kevin. Fair points.
Although gen 2 was my first and gen 3 my favorite, I still think gen 4 is best in terms of improvement, content and the available Pokemon even though it had a rocky start.
diamond was the game that got me into Pokemon in 5th grade so it has a special place in my heart 💙
The upside down waterfall alone makes platinum one of the coolest games ever.
Best generation!
Would you recommend playing Platinum before SoulSilver?
If you haven't decided yet I would go with Platinum first. I love it but a bit harder to play I you played another game right before it due to the speed of the game.
nice review, it's a shame we didn't get the distortion world in the Gen4 remakes
Soul Silver was my first Pokémon game it’s amazing and heart gold is just as amazing
