This is one of the most dedicated youtubers. Many would be too scared to try this colossal challenge,but this MAN toughed the challenge out. My deepest respect Mikey
Fun memory: I'll never forget the day my mom bought Platinum for me. It was waiting for me at home because I had to stay after school to give a speech for my communications class. I got home after NAILING the presentation, chose Chimchar as my starter and I KID YOU NOT, the first Pokemon I encountered (post getting Poke Balls) was a SHINY STARLY! I caught it, female with a crappy nature BUT it was on my team throughout the game! I think it was Calm nature...
When he got the shiny Zubat it thought he was going to go "But that one had a speed lowering nature, so I caught another one which had a sp atk lowering nature, which was AMAZING for this difficult run"
Can we just appreciate the fact that Mikey just found 3 full odds shiny pokémon, before Elite Four, In a Vanilla rom, IN A APRIL FOOLS PLAYTHROUGH!!! LIKE, HOW????
Dang, it's April Fools' Day but I'm not playing when I said that my heart was RACING when you were trying to catch that Shiny Graveler! I'm over here sweating because I was worried it would Self-Destruct! *Me sweating to avoid a Self-Destruct? Guess my special ability is Damp
This gives us a fun idea for a challenge! Can you beat pokemon red/blue with just pokemon? No weapons, no armor, no magic, no limit breaks, no dual/triple techs, no job system, no sphere grid, and no shouts. Just pokemon in battle. Consumable items like potions and pokeballs are also allowed. Obviously it would be super difficult with all those restrictions, but it might just be possible.
Ok, confession time: I actually cried when Mikey caught the Zubat because his happiness was so evident in that scene. Congratulations, Michael, you go!
You know a RUclipsr is great when he can turn a regular playthrough of Platinum into an engrossing experience from start to finish. Also, it's nice that Michael didn't just joke around the whole video - certainly refreshing to see on April Fools Day!
How ironic that two of the most annoying encounter Pokemon rewarded you with TWO shinies! Hell, I bet you would've found a shiny Tentacool if you surfed around a few times!
I’m just imagining Mikey is all like ‘wouldn’t this be a funny April fools video? Just a normal playthrough of platinum with no additional challenges?’ Then the shinies came in and said ‘allow us to introduce ourselves’

@@istallessa6864 well, imagine _my_ (and every person from a Spanish-speaking country) surprise, when he uploaded a Fool's Day video *_9 MONTHS BEFORE FOOL'S DAY_*
Can you imagine Mikey just casually playing Pokemon games in his office as his "career," while other professionals in the office just stare in sheer jealousy?
I remember playing platinum and finding 2 graveler shinies, in victory road, the first one blew up. At that point, I had no idea how rare they are, but I knew I had a lot more training to do, so I caught and trained a Golduck, switched it in on the second shiny and caught it, I still have it today.
During chuggaaconroy’s LP of Pokémon Platinum, he told a story about a friend of his who found two back to back Shiny Gravelers in Mt. Coronet, both of which used Self-Destruct on the first turn.
@@kaiacee lmao i was also joking, people make exaggerated responses to things that they find slightly annoying/repulsive; or, in meme terminology, “cursed”
I recently did a re-playthrough of Platinum (cartridge) and holy crap my shiny luck was about the same as yours! My fourth (yup... 1-2-3-4!) came outside on Route 225 in a Fearow. Krickitot on Eterna Forest, Marill on Rt. 212 while grinding, and Wooper in the Great Marsh my first time through it. I'm still gobsmacked over it.
Why is everyone saying this is an April fools joke. He clearly just misspelled the title. It was supposed to be “can I beat Pokémon platinum and catch as many shinies in the process as there are stars in the universe.”

@@thebestpilot7 That is the best example of game devs accidentally creating a difficulty curve I have ever heard. LOL not sure is you were agreeing or disagreeing with me about Sword and Shield difficulty or not, but that is a valid point for both sides of the argument. Is it too difficult because you can accidentally over level and be screwed, or is it too easy to level up before getting the next badge? The world may never agree
Thank you Mikey I've been trying to think of a core for my bdsp play and was lacking a gen 4 grass type (I used roserade in original play) tangrowth will be this time part of the team along with infernape gliscor pachrisu and togekiss and a yet undecided water type (not buizel or shelos lines)
@@Rubywing4 The thing is, swords dance is a special type of dance used to boost fighting spirit. Think of it as being like a ritual warriors perform before going into battle as a way of preparing themselves physically and mentally
The fact that he went through the effort of doing a full playthrough of Platinum, editing it, writing a script, doing a voice over, editing that and all of the other stuff for a video for an April Fools joke, worries me
Yeah, it's nice to see something of a normal run for once. Nuzlockes don't have to be everything, even if they're fun for many people. They are fun for me, and I did one in Platinum with just Water-types.
I'll agree with that. Pokemon challenges can b fun, but not when u have to suffer for intense playthroughs and have to grind excessively like MDB does. Like really, grinding up pathetic Pokemon like Magikarp or ratatta to fight is just hard and annoying
I just wanna thanks mikey cuz: He never gave us up Never let us down Never ran around To desert us He never made us cry He never said goodbye Never told a lie To hurt us
You know, when it said read more after never ran around, I could've stopped since I knew by then it was a rick roll. But I did it anyway because..... I'm........

fr I've done like 8 playthroughs including lets go where I shiny hunted vulpix for like 8 hours
Yeah I’ve been playing for 10+ years and never found one
ya ive played pokemon diamond, pearl, platnium, ruby, heart gold, alpha sapphire, X, sun, moon, and sword
and i havent gotten a single shiny ever
and ive played for alot of my life close to 300 hours on my diamond
and white i forgot about that
I found a shiny but had no pokeballs😢😢😢
“And her demonic Purugly”
-Mikey
“And she’s got a fat cat that hits like a semi truck”
-Jaiden
I’m seeing a pattern here
lol everyone hates her purugly
@@mummykitchen021 yep I figured that
@Alfie Bell oh you're right I'll fix it thank you
Cos it's not just ugly but also really hard to beat
@@eljordinio7647 I actually like Purugly's design
Can we just appreciate that Mikey didn't make this 30 minute rickroll
But....it was
It wasnt
No it was a Mikeroll, where his shiny odds luck fooled us all into thinking we could be that lucky lol
You didn't have to wait until getting Surf to get the Brick Break TM. Combine Repels with the Bicycle and you can get it before battling Fantina.
it didn't really matter because you cant use brick break on fantina anyways
He never answered the question:
Did he grow more attached to Empoleon?
He probably did. After all it's not exactly an ugly Pokemon like most of the Pokemon he hates
@@eljordinio7647 he actually considers it ugly for some reason
@@quaxolotl6509 ugly?
Garbodor is ugly
Crabominable, yeah it's ugly
Jynx is ugly
Bruxish is ugly
Probopass is ugly
Dracovish is DISGUSTINGLY UGLY
Delphox, kinda ugly with the fur robe and the large amount of ear hair
Purugly is basically as the name implies
What's so ugly about empoleon
@@eljordinio7647 if u want too know why he doesn’t like Empoleon watch the video about Pokémon I hate that truegreen7 doesn’t.
@@eljordinio7647 jynx isn’t ugly, it’s probably the most beautiful pokémon… the most beautifully ugly pokémon.
I can't stop myself from cracking a smile when someone challenges Candice in Platinum. DAMN YOU INTERNET, DAMN YOU!!
Why?
104 DAYS OF SUMMER VACATION
Yes
@@aidanredding8058 candice
@@convergenceclown2386 What about her?
I feel like it would’ve been funnier if he did Pokémon X or Y and repeatedly called it “the hardest playthrough challenge EVER”
Remove fairy type and exp share and it should be hard enough
Idk, sword and shield was even easier for me xD not saying anything about enjoyment, just the difficulty
@@WheelStart I did a no exp share, no mega evolution run a while back and it was challenging at times.
@@AzuraThePanda i had to avoid most trainers and once had to swap my whole team just so I could stay on level
@@thebestpilot7 That is the best example of game devs accidentally creating a difficulty curve I have ever heard. LOL not sure is you were agreeing or disagreeing with me about Sword and Shield difficulty or not, but that is a valid point for both sides of the argument.
Is it too difficult because you can accidentally over level and be screwed, or is it too easy to level up before getting the next badge? The world may never agree
Thank you Mikey I've been trying to think of a core for my bdsp play and was lacking a gen 4 grass type (I used roserade in original play) tangrowth will be this time part of the team along with infernape gliscor pachrisu and togekiss and a yet undecided water type (not buizel or shelos lines)
Hard battles: *exist*
Gallant: *anyway so I started dancing-*
I feel better when im dancing~ yea yea~
I wonder how Swords Dance actually works in Pokémon.
How does dancing make you stronger? XD
@@Rubywing4 The thing is, swords dance is a special type of dance used to boost fighting spirit. Think of it as being like a ritual warriors perform before going into battle as a way of preparing themselves physically and mentally
*Ronan the Accuser voice* "What are you doing there?" *Star-Gallade* "Dance Off Bro! Just you and me!"
@@matthewkuscienko4616 Ah, I see. I guess that makes sort of sense.
"Sword" of sense. Get it? XD
Gotta love that a Zubat shocks him so much his voice drops an octave
What some differently colored pixels do to a man
The fact that he went through the effort of doing a full playthrough of Platinum, editing it, writing a script, doing a voice over, editing that and all of the other stuff for a video for an April Fools joke, worries me
@@rad_quail lmaooo
Michael: "I made my way to Floaroma town and the Valley Windworks without catching any other pokemon"
Also Michael: *Suddenly has a full team of 6*
Might be HM sla... I mean mules
Michael's three Starlys reminder me about Ash's first encounter with Paul.
He can tell who the strongest one is.
Paul is the incarnation of a competitive player. Literally.
in this video, michael also caught 3 starly, just like how paul caught 3 starly in the anime
@@董董-c9f and didn't keep a single one.
As he should, when he already had a Murkrow from some previous region.
'the badge was mine' It's the Mine Badge; good wordplay.
Mikey: Makes a normal platinum play through for April fools.
The Shiny cave Pokémon: A FOOLISH MISCALCULATION!
The catching of the shiny graveler was so overcomplicated, i love it
"and decreased in cuteness"
*Team Pixie Dust has entered the chat*
Hahaha
I get it haha
Lol
Imagine playing an entire game just as an april fools prank.
right
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t get it 😂
@@Dhafa5681 He ment Mikey just played an entire game of Pokemon platinum
This is impossible. How could he possibly do this?
@@lawyerupwithshihab This challenge is going to be absolute torture for Michael.
Idk how? It's so hard!
I know this is supposed to be a joke but it's kinda nice watching a completely normal playthrough in a short format
I understand this is an April fools joke, but I'm kinda excited for a 30 minute video of Mikey casually playing my favourite Pokemon game lmao
Same
ikr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not even an April Fools joke Mikey just didn't want to suffer through another nuzlocke or any other challenge
Yeah, it's nice to see something of a normal run for once.
Nuzlockes don't have to be everything, even if they're fun for many people.
They are fun for me, and I did one in Platinum with just Water-types.
Yes, but he uploads every week, so after this he is just gonna upload something hard or something
I'll agree with that. Pokemon challenges can b fun, but not when u have to suffer for intense playthroughs and have to grind excessively like MDB does. Like really, grinding up pathetic Pokemon like Magikarp or ratatta to fight is just hard and annoying
Plot twist
At first I was like: “.....what?”
And then I remembered today is April 1st.
Same
Is it weird this is one of my favorite playthroughs he's done
But seriously I cant for the life of me beat pokemon diamond
2:00 increase in power and a decrease in cuteness lol
This is got to be the weirdest April Fool's video
It's not even close
@@charliebeanie8534 could be
I just wanna thanks mikey cuz:
He never gave us up
Never let us down
Never ran around
To desert us
He never made us cry
He never said goodbye
Never told a lie
To hurt us
I got Rickrolled
You know, when it said read more after never ran around, I could've stopped since I knew by then it was a rick roll. But I did it anyway because.....
I'm........
NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN
NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND
AND DESERT YOU
NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY
NEVER GONNA SAY GOODBYE
NEVER GONNA TELL A LIE
AND HURT YOU
Damn it
@@pokejedi5184 CRAP
@@pokejedi5184 I FELL FOR IT AGAIN
"Without catching any other Pokemon" * has a full team at the start of the Mars battle *
I think that was him extra starlies
He never said that?
@@tionaus 2:05. I know he didn't mean the entire playthrough. It just seemed funny to me that he says this and it seems he only has Staravia and Prinplup at this point
@@Ultradragon16 ok soz
Plays through the game casually as a prank.
Game casually throws three 1/8200 chance shinies as a prank.
