Can you beat Pokemon Platinum if there are NO Wild Pokemon

A wild Pokémon appeared! ~ But what if they never did? Can you still beat a Pokemon game without being able to build a team or level up?
I removed all of the Wild Pokemon from Pokemon Platinum to find out!

"There are a couple of kids we can fight in the school"

As one does.

[NohISwear]

This is just how I played Pokémon as a kid, starter vastly out leveling the rest of the Pokémon on my team and heavily relying on potions/revives in battle

[vindifference]

We delayed for the glaceon, but did it do anything significant by the end? All the other pokemon are so low-leveled that I can't imagine their coverage really mattered.

[keeperplays]

Love this idea! Takes "gift only" runs to a new level. Gen 4 does have a lot of gift Pokemon (DP would have also given Happiny at the cost of Togepi, a worthy trade imo), but games that have game corner Pokemon might be interesting as well. Actually, this run might be perfect in BDSP with the updated experience mechanics to have equal team leveling for the limited experience points. Might even be possible as a Nuzlocke, hmm... You've given me some ideas!

Zubat: "Babe, why haven't you been answering my calls...?"

5:00 Hey if you or anyone else does a challenge like this, remember that you can overwrite hm moves with one another to save attack slots, this takes longer whenever you need to swap but it helps with challenges like these where your pokemon selection is limited

[LuckyLucifer]

So you grabbed glaceon for type coverage which was ice, but empoleon can learn icebeam and blizzard. When you got to the e4 you should have move deleted the hms and actually gave empoleon a viable moveset. Using surf on roserade just looked painful.

[DocDoesGamingTV]

I used to pick up low level Pokemon from my PC and run through the entire region with my Vs. Seeker to "replay" the game

Never even found a shiny in 500 hours of play haha

I think it would’ve made more sense to evolve your Eevee into an Espeon since your team has a huge weakness to fighting types and only Togekiss can tank a fighting attack and even then it takes neutral damage to fighting moves.

[christopherballero]

I don't have nearly as many good things to say about newer Pokemon games but I will say the newer games do give a lot of early Pokemon & getting rid of HM moves was a good move. Also it would've been a good idea to teach Empoleon ice beam

[kirbosdeath]

Good video, fs. I will say though, you could've used infernape and used the gift eevee to be a vaporeon which could learn the other hms.

[pgproductions]

Good video only halfway through did I notice that you arent a big channel, your video has really good quality 👍

[sascha-silverthereal]

Turtwig is my fav of all Pokemon.
He was my first choice back then,
when I had no idea what Pokemon is even about.
It never let my down and is the reason why I still enjoy Pokemon.

[TheOGButterfreeguy]

I feel like Porygon didn't contribute much.

[neodymus]

Ice Beam + Shuca Berry on Empoleon might have worked against Garchomp.
Still happy you didn't take anything to make the challenge easier xp-wise, and only resorted to VS seeker at the very end - good video man !

[RM-umxx]

Not to be that guy, but if I remember correctly eevee learns Bite pretty early on, making it more useful for the ghost gym... 😅

[ozithedino]

Great video! I like how you limited using the VS Seeker!

[JoshtheGoldfish]

if you evolved your Riolu you could've given rock climb to Lucario.

[Merchantic]

you could have called this run "What if stuhpy had the pokemon ability Stench?"

[ThriftyFangirl]

I was literally in the midst of typing "Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't you farm trainer battles for XP by deliberately losing on the last pokemon of a trainer with more than one?" when he said that he was reloading the last save even when he lost for real to avoid being unfair to the challenge intent
