The national dex is necessary for a majority of the post game content as they won't unlock until after you get it, affectively making the national dex the most important thing to obtain: 1. Rematching the gym leaders. 2. Getting Bebe's Eevee. 3. Unlocking Ramanas park. 4. Getting Rotom. 5. Pokémon infestations ("There's a lot of voltorb's on route 208!"). - Mentioned in video 6. Underground getting more Pokemon. - Mentioned in video 7. Unlocking the route that was blocked by a man near the end of victory road. 8. Getting the Pokéradar, the catching charm, and DS sounds. 9. Getting all the apps on the Pokétch. 10. Rematching the Elite Four. There's most likely even more things, but I can't think of what all they are.
Ok so I beat the elite four and got the national dex but I can’t rematch the gym leaders and when I rematch the elite four they treat me like I never beat them in the first place
@@Budgie2466 Interesting. Once you get the national dex and leave Rowan's lab, Roark should appear from the grand underground to tell you that the gym leaders want a rematch with you. I'm not sure if you have to re-battle them in order or not, though. As well, I'm not sure if the elite four will be rematchable until after you've re-beaten the 8 gym leaders.
@@RedWillB Update when I went back to professor Rowan’s lab and went back out the cutscene started I do not know why it did not work last time but now I can do post game
i really hope we get some add ons to the events. If we can get an extra bit of content through events, this could really become one of the better remakes.
I never understood nostalgia until I saw the post game for the Giratina event for BDSP. Platinum was the first Pokemon game I completed, and I have fond memories of it. Seeing Platinum be recognized is pulling my heart strings. Say what you will about the remakes, but the developers knew how to harness the nostalgia that the pokemon franchise has become so dependent on.
@derekosgood3230The problem is that besides the graphical update, there's no reason to play this over the original. Heck play Platinum instead, it has more content and a better story than BDSP and DP. Edit: Forgot to mention the weird difficulty curve at the end. Oh well at least I get a free Darkrai in Legends Arceus
It took me 25hrs to do all the trainer battles, beat all the gym leaders, complete the elite 4, and finish the regional dex. I'm happy there is so much post game content, because I was going to be sad otherwise
The mysterious shards are a pain. Been digging for 4 hours and only got enough to catch the regis. So annoying I dont even feel like wasting more hours to get the other legendary pokemon
it doesnt let me battle the gym leaders twice, i cant get into the snowpoint temple after beating the champion and i cant get into the boat at snowpoint
Is there a reason the boat man tells me "I would take you,but theres a kid who wouldnt stay in place and i had to take him, and now i have no gas left" Do I have to do something else ?
In my game, none of the gym leaders are able to be rematched, and the elite 4 never got their upgraded teams. Idk why. I got National Dex before beating elite 4 so idk if it glitched out or not
I’m stuck on the way to Stark Mountain on the hill just to the right of the house with the old lady who wants you to rest over and over. I’ve gone up the steps, but there’s a rock edge and no way to proceed. Can anyone help me? I would hate to have to give up!
A work around to this is using a different user profile. Bonus points if you have Pokemon Home as you can transfer Pokemon through different games and user profiles too.
Actually that is not true to get to level five Eevee you must have the national Pokédex and I already haven’t even before beating the elite for and I still can’t do it because Cynthia is way too hard but if you just have the national Pokédex without being the lead for you can still get the level five Eevee
Being able to have a torterra (I know I know but he was my first starter ever), blastoise, charizard, and a dragonite all from the grand underground has been awesome
I'm assuming you're not using emuNAND and your switch got banned. You're unable to use Pokémon Home anymore. However I heard there's an app called Poke Hex that you can use to transfer Pokémon to a save file. I reccomended looking into it and using that. Though it does require a PC.
They have much better move pools and synergy but they aren't difficult in the slightest, because of the shared xp across party members I was on average 10 levels above all the elite four and 5 above Cynthia's, beat them on my first try
This guy just has approximate knowledge on what he's talking about. IV is intrinsic values? Yeah, it means the same but it's not what it's called. Also, rotom *evolves* into different forms??
I'm missing 1 pokemon from my Sinnoh Dex because I missed all the trainers in the Hearthome gym and went straighf to Fantina now I have to wait until Friday to catch Drifloon and hopefully unlock my national dex 😂
I do not recommend these games over platinum. These games were fun to play because of the recent glitches, but now that the glitches are patched, the games are completely worthless.
Although this is a great guide. I'll keep it short. No, there is nothing worth your time after beating Cynthia. Sell the game, and find a new one to play. You're welcome.
Really enjoyed these remakes, felt the elite 4 were much tougher compared to the likes of Sword and Shield! Looking forward to future updates
I swept the entire sword and shield Pokémon league with a sir fetched haha, Cynthia in this one gave me a heck of a struggle with my team.
@@MariusMurabito true
the power level jump from the 8th gym to the elite four is alot
and cynthia is really hard to beat
i took three tries

You can battle the gym leaders once a day. You can also rematch the E4 twice. Their Pokemon will be in the 70s and 80s during the second rematch.
I would like to thank the creators of this game for having me hyper-fixated on catching them all; for better or for worse.
The real post-game content from the 2007 DP is to learn glitch for arcues, darkrai and shaymin
I'm honestly really happy to see everyone in the comments happy. I hope you all have a great and blessed year through these tough times 💜

I’m pretty sure that the route on victory road is for the future shaymin event
I really got into this game
It’s a lot better than I initially thought
It took me four tries to beat the elite four now I’m after the regis.
Think you can battle the gym leaders once per day post game.
Hope events start soon getting kinda bored atm still love this game for it's beautiful music and great nostalgia

The remakes are better than what people say they are good and platinum wasn’t the first Pokémon game I completed but my favorite one hands down
I grinded in the underground for so long before I realized there was a sonar thing
You can challenge the gym leaders once per day
Thank you I just beat shining pearl yesterday and I didn’t want to stop playing it you gave me a ton to do
These games are great I don't understand the hate people give them at all lol

Start building a living nat dex to throw in pokemon home. I mean this game only gets you up to Gen iv........
But still, gotta catch 'em all, right? 😂
5:09 i feel called out on my choice of pokemon, all those are the same as my first elite 4 win, except instead of infernape i used torterra
The mysterious shards are a pain. Been digging for 4 hours and only got enough to catch the regis. So annoying I dont even feel like wasting more hours to get the other legendary pokemon
Yeah I gave up on those. I tried for like an hour and a half and not single one… I’m waiting on Pokémon home to update.
Your character looks sick! How did you get him to look like that? Also his hair?!
Been using Roserade, Gyarados, and Gastrodon in the battle so far
The last Pokemon game that actually felt like Pokemon…
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed
Black and White had a number of Pokémon that still felt like animals in my opinion.
it doesnt let me battle the gym leaders twice, i cant get into the snowpoint temple after beating the champion and i cant get into the boat at snowpoint
Is there a reason the boat man tells me "I would take you,but theres a kid who wouldnt stay in place and i had to take him, and now i have no gas left" Do I have to do something else ?
Can’t wait for prolific platinum
I've been str8 clapping the elite 4 over n over again.
Cynthia was a beast to battle. Lol only took me four tries. Post game is fun tho, soo many more Pokémon.
hi guys i beat the champion but when i go to snowpoint it says "im out of fuel come back next time"
what am i missing
In my game, none of the gym leaders are able to be rematched, and the elite 4 never got their upgraded teams. Idk why.
I got National Dex before beating elite 4 so idk if it glitched out or not
Go to the Pokémon Research building and go inside then turn around immediately to leave like normal it should trigger an interaction for you
@@masterchiefofhalo4525 worked. Thanks
Dont forget about cresselia
they did mention it, just ot how to get there :D

These remakes where borderline remasters imo
i had no idea about rotom so thank you!
I can’t get to battle zone it says I have to wait for fuel for the boat. Been waiting a couple days now
This games make wanna replay the latest game. Multiple save files would b so nice
A work around to this is using a different user profile. Bonus points if you have Pokemon Home as you can transfer Pokemon through different games and user profiles too.
Lost soothe bell any idea if can get another
It's once a day for the gym leaders.
Going into the grand underground after getting national is so fun I’ve always wanted a level 60 cyndaquil
I’m enjoying the game a lot I just can’t get any mysterious shards
why can't I go to battle tower?, the sailor said he run out off gasoline
Choose your side Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl
Now do the same thing for gen 3 and I’ll be happy
Platinum is still better
Actually that is not true to get to level five Eevee you must have the national Pokédex and I already haven’t even before beating the elite for and I still can’t do it because Cynthia is way too hard but if you just have the national Pokédex without being the lead for you can still get the level five Eevee
I've done the leader rematch now 4 times u just gotta beat the elite 4 and Cynthia to reset
It resets every day, You can rematch the gym leaders every 24 real world hours.
Thank you man for this video!!!
nice job
I didnt know there was so much to do....wow
11:20 he means Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus everyone.
And the Global Wondertrade Station at Jubilife.
You can’t catch Giratina??
one rematch of gym leaders a day
Being able to have a torterra (I know I know but he was my first starter ever), blastoise, charizard, and a dragonite all from the grand underground has been awesome
still missing cresselia, no clue whom to talk to xD
timestamps?
Leader battles are once a day
I got my switch hacked so i can't play online b or even transfer 😭 i think

Remake of Gold and Silver next? or Black and White?
SMT the original pokemon
I don’t understand the hype around the elite four in this game. I accidentally beat it with my starter first try 💀
They have much better move pools and synergy but they aren't difficult in the slightest, because of the shared xp across party members I was on average 10 levels above all the elite four and 5 above Cynthia's, beat them on my first try
For me the missing mon was brumy.
For me it was drifblim i think or mothim
I killed giritina 2 years ago and i cant respawn it
