How I finished the Brilliant Diamond Pokedex in one day

I wanted to catch all the pokemon, so I did before everyone.

When you think about it, Cynthia also would've had to grind for milotic and spiritomb. This is why she's the strongest trainer. She's in it for the grind

You're Professor Rowan. You've sent off a 10 year old to complete your life's work, the Pokedex, armed with a lvl 5 monkey and a pair of running shoes. 21 hours later, the 10 year old returns to your lab. Not only have they completed the Pokedex, they've stopped a criminal organization from using the power of creator Gods to start a new universe and they've become the new Champion of your region.

"Congrats, I guess", you say.

i would love to think that once empoleon came back to your pearl trainer it was like "bro you wouldn't believe the SHIT i went through just now"

Snorlax sleeping all the time and then saving the day during the darkest hour felt like an anime plot

[christinaholroyd]

"You've caught all the Pokémon in Sinnoh!"
"Here's a piece of paper for your achievement."

[Foxatrot]

Imagine Rowan waking up the next morning like: Wait he's already caught every pokemon??

[wakizaki]

Fun fact: a lot of people thought Cynthia was gonna be easier.
They thought wrong.
She's harder now.
(if friendship didn't exist)

The funniest thing happened when I got the “ your Pokémon toughed it out so you wouldn’t feel sad” message, right before it happened, I said “mf if you die ima be salty” and then it lived and gave me that message🤣

I’m always amazed at how clever Ant is with his solutions. His Nuzlockes and challenges always have cool workarounds to really annoying problems.

Chat saving him from missing the Feebas was HUGE, as well as him accidentally setting his Brilliant Diamond Switch's time incorrectly so that he could catch carnivine

4:25 SmallAnt just summoned his mom. He proved that moms have a superpower to immediately be present whenever they hear their child call for them.

[gymleaderjessetto]

This guy lost his sanity to catch 151 pokemon in a day and as a reward, got a paper with one sentence and a picture of a monkey, penguin, and a turtle.

“Cyrus only attacks you here in Platinum”
Cyrus - Are you sure about that

[Yeah_itsJohn]

I had the hugest brain strat going into cynthia:

So at like Lv. 57, Kricketune learns Perish Song. That's basically the entire story.

[connorjohnson]

I remember reading up how to find feebas in the original Daimond and being flabergasted at the BS condition: They can only be found in 4 spaces in one specific lake covered in fog.
And the spaces change daily.

Congrats on literally being the first person _ever_ to complete a Brilliant Diamond Pokédex!

[Patterrz]

Idk if the Pokedex speedrun or Video Editing speedrun was more inpressive but great job getting it done so fast!

Ah, gotta love the affection mechanic. If memory serves that sorta stuff like "toughed it out so you wouldn't feel sad" was added in X/Y, and basically if the Pokemon has enough of those pink hearts in the affection system for the game (Pokemon Amie in X/Y and other names I can't remember for later games that incorporated it) they get like an extra chance (not heightened but like a whole second check in the code or something, can't remember specifics) for checks to end status conditions (even ones that don't end naturally), checks for critical chance, dodge/miss chance, and as you saw, even tanking deadly attacks with 1 HP left.


It was meant to emulate the anime series trope of the partner Pokemon getting a second wind or pulling off an impossible win because they valued their trainer so much they couldn't stand losing for them

[changrcaterham]

Gotta love how the reward for catching all the Pokémon is a charm that makes it easier to catch Pokémon
