People are complaining about how easy this game is, but once you actually make your battles on set mode and ban yourself from using healing items, it gets quite challenging. The elite 4 was harder imo than the original games.

Flint's "Fire" team though

You brought out Quagsire against Cynthia’s Garchomp… You have gained my admiration, even if he was only out for 1 turn. Respect.

The battle between Briliant Diamond and Shining Pearl it self 9:27

Say what you will about these remakes but the elite four theme is a BANGER

I can’t wait for my BDSP team to be swept by Cynthia… in HD! ☺️✨

This is a very easy game with the biggest difficulty with the elite 4. Good AI, Viable moves, Proper abilites, Held items and EVs on every pokemon like they aren't playing around... I love it

It now occurs to me that the original Cynthia was being kind to us on the original games. Had she gone at us with power, we wouldn't have the will or motivation to play the next Pokemon games.

Got all the way to the end and Cynthia kicked my arse again without a shred of remorse. Between the diverse move pool, frustratingly irksome items that hamper the health of your team and Flint's Driflblim ( a pokemon I don't remember him having last time) it really brought back the nostalgia I loved when playing this the first time around and that's why I think this remake has been an excellent addition.

Timestamps with Conversation: 1. Elite 4 Aron: 0:20 2. Elite 4 Bertha: 8:51 3. Elite 4 Flint: 18:09 4. Elite 4 Lucian: 27:58 5. Champion Cynthia: 37:04

Note to self: this game is NOT to be nuzlocked lightly.

God damn, Cynthia’s Garchomp is still a nightmare

Flint and his fire themed team again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i thought Platinum fix that.

Elite four first rematch: Platinum team Elite four second rematch: Aaron will have a Flygon(I don't know why they give him a Flygon),Bertha will have mamoswine and nidoking,Flint will have a Arcanine and a Ninetales and Lucian will hava Slwmbro

before anyone complain about the DP teams the elite four will have 2 rematch teams the first will be with their platinum team and second a brand new one

Can’t wait till Pokemon Masters adds in the Sinnoh E4 & gives each of the members their own theme.

All of these people complaining really makes me chuckle. I’m just thrilled I get to play Gen 4 as I didn’t have a DS.

I think if this guy wasn't ten levels above the Elite 4 he'd be struggling hard to get through them

I cannot wait to see Videos about the rematches (also, I find Flint's DP Team actually harder than his Pl Team because u can't just sweep him with a Water Type)

Biggest complaint for me is how boring all of their arenas are. Gen 3/5 had such interesting Elite Four rooms. Wish they would retroactively improve Gen 4

I really don’t like the sci-fi aesthetic on the interior especially when the outside is literally a cathedral. These rooms feel like engine room in a spaceship without the engine, not a place where you will fight the top ranked Pokémon trainers… Great Vid btw! Thank you for releasing this early!

There's a fire specialist member but only has 2 fire mons... *a M A z I n G ! !*

That hall of fame is so epic! Love seeing things like this. You and you pokemon together claiming victory like in the anime. I hope GameFreak adapts to this! Great video 😊

I can't wait for the proper remakes 50 years from now

The Sinnoh Pokémon League will be known as the last one in which you had to fight the Elite Four in sequence. I wonder how this player reached it so quickly?

Man the AI was smart and I loved it!

Flint has Lopunny in his "fire" team cause she's HOT

It's much easier to fight Cynthia with your own Garchomp but it needs to be a higher level

Awesome, i really enjoy watching you battle in these games.

Elite Four: Outrageous Champion Cynthia: Hellevan

Flint’s voice as Sean Astin got it!!!!

Every time Vespiquen go out: AAAAAHH You did say it!!!!!

Flint still looks so fine I CAN'T

Lucian’s voice as Matthew Mercer got it!!!!!

They didn’t even raised the levels a bit to compensate the XP share, at least SwSh level curve is appropriate to the XP share

My Bronzong ended up being the unsung hero against Cynthia’s Garchomp. It only has two offensive moves, Earthquake and Dragon Rush. Between Levitate and spamming Iron Defense, Bronzong ended up able to hold its own.

That Mr. Mime though, just casually waking up after the trouble of yawning it Lol.

Aaron’s Pokémon: Dustox, Heracross, Beautifly, Vespiquen and Drapion Bertha’s Pokémon: Quagsire, Sudowoodo, Whiscash, Golem and Hippowdon Flint’s Pokémon: Rapidash, Steelix, Lopunny, Drifblim and Infernape Lucian’s Pokémon: Mr. Mime, Girafarig, Medicham, Alakazam and Bronzong Cynthia’s Pokémon: Spiritomb, Milotic, Gastrodon, Roserade, Lucario and Garchomp

Throughout the entire Cynthia fight, I was sitting there slack-jawed saying: “what the hell is this?”

This is what they said by being faithful to the original, eh?

BRB gonna watch this while contemplating my teams for both versions XD

Shadow ball looks cool

Luckily you can kind of tell which type each elite four member is before battling by looking at the pillars

Flint: I really like the fire type. *Proceed to remove Steelix Drifblim & Lopunny*

Really disappointed that the room designs are the generic rooms from the original Diamond & Pearl instead of the detailed environments from Platinum.

This was hard for me because of the movesets and the pokemon keep dodging my attacks

How did you enter the team with 10 levels above? When I beat cynthia my highest level pokes is still level 62 lmao.

The affection mechanic to lose status affects or have sturdy and live with 1 hp is pretty dumb tbh. Makes it easier than it should be

Flint is a joke of a fire "specialist"

As I said before... They were very faithful to the original games, I really expected the Platinum rooms, and their Platinum teams although I liked seeing my favorite E4 in 3D but I think it could have been better... for me, it is just a copy and paste of the original games, with some details to increase nostalgia, such as the Pokémon that follow you, I hope legends arecus not disappoint me...

Hope that you just overleved your team, I refuse to accept you reached so damn high levels without grinding Edit: I just saw how much XP gave the Dustox, and yes he didn’t grind at all

I did the same thing I didn’t use any healing items and I already had my settings switched to set it’s more difficult but I like it that way

I might be the only person in this world who think Flint is kinda hot

I did this with pokemon 10 levels below that. No wonder it was near impossible...

I've been fighting flint for over an hour and still haven't beat him. Ok he finally ran out of one of his moves and I finally beat Brent after using all my moves on luxury and infernape and palkia

WTH MY HAUNTER IS THE CLUTCH LEGEND HE TOUGHED OUT 2 ATTACKS AT 1 HP AND ONE SHOT THE ENEMY WHAT

You could have won easily with Ice Beam! What were you thinking by switching to Staraptor?!

Gen 8 Aaron, Bertha, Flint, and Lucian were very nightmare tbh.

If i have this game my dream team Will be infernape staraptor luxray, garchomp, gardevoir, and milotic

I know people prefer it when Pokémon is difficult but as a casual player it’s just not for me

No shit, I thought they would like nerf the elite 4 + champion difficulty similar to Lets Go but not shit, they went all in, this has to be the pokemon game with the highest difficulty spike out of any yet.

I love Flint and his curious Team ♡

This guy: *beats elite four with lvl 64 & 65 pokemon* Me: *GETS FRICKING OBLITERATED WHITH LEVEL 75 POKÉMON*

I want to play it already to hunt shiny pachirisu!!

The fact that your team doesnt heal after you beat a member is stupid af imo.

Bertha’s voice as Granny from Looney Tunes got it!!!!!

You enter the E4 with your team being 10 levels above? Wtf is this.

You brought garchomp against spiritomb, even though it has an actual weakness since fairy type is a thing now, respecc

That piano music

still cackling on how the elite four's team don't match their specialty

This game isnt easy. We just got better at the game. Anyway, Lucien got me with Trick Room and it ruined my first run with Elite Four. Luckily I destroyed his team after the first attempt. Don't mess with Trick Room.

You could have easily used Crunch against Mr. Mime, yet you switch to Quagsire, which had _nothing_ useful? Your battling style is way too random for my tastes.

Why didn’t they choose Pokemon Platinum setting??

Hot take: Flint’s DP Team is harder than the play team cause you can’t sweep him with a water or ground also his flare boost driftblim has minimize baton pass for infernape

The 4th elite trainer seems ez. I underestimated the 4th one

Why is Flints team his Diamond and pearl team? There’s More than two fire types

I seriously hate the elite 4. Been trying for 3 fucking weeks to defeat them and no matter what pokemon I use (my highest is level 74) I still get my ass kicked.

any tips on how to beat lucian because i keep losing to him?

It took me 11 tries to beat Cynthia,I was playing on switch mode AND was using healing items

Cynthia’s voice is Laura Bailey got it!!!!!

No mute their voices allowed during the game got it!!!!

This man must be a cultured super Sentai fan

Can’t you rotate Pokémon from your party into your boxes while battling in the league between your battles?

When does luxray learn discharge?

Meh wish they remade this game with some of Platinum's remasters rather than being too faithful to the original D/P a la HGSS having Crystal elements to it.

I made it all the way to Garchomp and get taken out by poison jab and earthquake

I'm really underleveled my pokemon gain like no levels please help I cant get past aron

I remember Aaron nearly coming back against me but I still won.

No Bronzong keep his eyes open only close his eyes -.- got it!!!!!

The fook, what's with the trainer VS transition?

They really messed up infernape's roar

I think the underground made it to easy to train and level up your Pokemon

God damn it. I can't get past her Milotic

It’s Togikiss during final battle got it!!!!

Thanks

O’l mc donald manager is back

WHY DOES HE HAS A STEELIX

Flints "Fire" Team Huh? And don't tell me, that he have in his Rematch a Fire Team. IDC, it should be the Story Match. And not even Platinum Content... I mean they did added Rayquaza in the Hoenn Remakes so why not here?

The difficulty of gen 4. Gone. Reduced to atoms.

I don’t really get why Flints team is still not a fully fire type team.
