Can I Beat Pokemon Platinum with ONLY Ponyta? 🔴 Pokemon Challenges ► NO ITEMS IN BATTLE

In this video I take you along my ridiculous Pokemon Platinum Challenge Journey through the world of Kanto in Generation 3 as I attempt to beat the entire game with a single Ponyta and without using Items in Battle! Am I able to do it? Only one way to find out!

~Stay in Touch!~

Diamond and Pearl only had Chimchar and Ponyta prior to the E4... never forget poor Flint, who had to use Drifblim, Lopunny and Steelix to fill in the gaps in his "Fire" team.

Platinum added Flareon, Houndoom and Magmortar to minimize the issue.

(1:47) Actually, Fire is still super effective against Torterra. Ground doesn't resist Fire, even though it is super effective against Fire.
(22:19) And that's game! Ponyta succeeded where Shinx did not!

For road blocks like Gyarados and Garchomp, Natural Gift is great as an _out-of-jail_ card since its damage type depends on what berry you're holding.

MDB actually pronouncing Cranidos right in a video? It's more likely than you think!

I always feel weird getting the challenges early. Yes, I get it early, but then I don’t have a challenge for my normal Saturday routine. Welp, here I am!

Ponyta will always trigger the memory of my first time catching one in pokemon legends. I was then stomped into paste by its mother. Good times.

Honestly, that was a fun run. It's always interesting when you get right to the end and suddenly there's a last minute road block that makes you wonder if it's actually possible.

I'm fortunate enough to work a job where i can have youtube running in the background while i work and your definitely helping maintain my sanity! You're my favorite channel on the platform and I look forward to delving yet further through the backlog!

Fire Types really got the short end of the stick in 4th Gen. Weak to both other fully Evolved starters and there are barely any Fire types to choose from.

[SarahAbramova]

I love watching your solo runs, it's always so funny watching strong fully evolved pokemon being squashed by tiny base form pokemon. XD

Make sure you take care of yourself. I remember the YouTube grind and I used to do the same thing - not eat until mid to late afternoon because either I was so excited to make/finish a video or I felt like I couldn’t delay making a video until after I’d eaten. I can’t imagine doing that now that I’m 30. The time it takes to make and eat food is worth being able to work at full capacity without your hunger putting you on a time limit!

[BoredVersus]

I always have a lot of respect for you, because I know how much work goes into making in genre of content, as long as you edit it yourself lol

In terms of what fire types are availible before post game, the sinnoh pokedex only contains 5 fire types total, the 3 chimchar line and the 2 ponyta line, thats it, only those 2 lines

EDIT: Platinum has a differnt dex that has about 60 pokemon added to it, and that dex adds on the magmar line (availible outside the ironworks), flareon and the houndour line (the routes between the south of veilstone city and the grand lake hotel), also note that rotom doesn't change its ghost type in its different forms, like heat being elec/fire or wash being elec/water, until gen 5.

Ponyta/Rapidash was a pivotal member of my team in Platinum. It got to the point where I had to force myself not to use it so the rest of my team could keep up. This was a team with an Alakazam and a Dragon Dance Water Onix, by the way. I've never had a member of the line come close that level of performance since then.

If " trying to get through the game with an eclectic band of weirdos " doesn't sum up your let's plays perfectly I don't know what does

[YarakaOfficial]

Surprising end result! Awesome video as always :)

[LMK-Gaming]

I believe Chimchar & Ponyta were the only natural spawning fire types in the wild in D/P. There was a thing on the original DS where you could get Growlith to spawn if you had Fire Red in the GBA slot. But that's about it for fire types before the elite 4. They fixed it in Platinum but not by much. I think they gave us access to Eevee & Magmar before the elite 4.

I used to watch these in like 2021 and you legitimately have not changed in 3 years. I don’t know whether I should be scared or proud

[briansherrod]

I have never been able to catch your challenges early, so this is a blessing!

[nebbybrush]

Getting on these videos early is great because it's a great thing to do after coming home from class

[jonsmith]

Its awesome to see you actually make a strategy using the TMs this time instead of just doing your usual boring level up and brute force with return strategy.

Keep trying out new stuff! Its alot more fun then you just leveling up!
