In the Pokemon games, earning experience points is the most important part of progressing through the game, but how difficult would the game be if you never earned any in battle? Today we're going to find out how easily you can beat Pokemon Platinum without earning EXP. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

  • the level of shame every gym leader, the elite four, and Cynthia must feel after being beaten by a dude that grabbed wild pokemon and didn't even bother to train them...
  • @kingzerko
    John looked MAD confused live when Torterra gave that 1 EXP lol.
  • Aka “Can you beat Pokemon Platinum with the exact team 9yo me used after spending 2 days being bitchslapped by Garchomp?”
  • @rajt9996
    How many geodudes will you use? Johnstone: yes.
  • @ZaalStrom
    Ah yes. The team of: Three pixies who embody the aspects of Knowledge, Emotion, and Willpower, The Being who was Banished from the Universe by its own creator, A squid armed with 80 tentacles, And... a rock that go boom Truly, the most powerful team for fighting a Champion.
  • Fun fact about the Crasher Wake fight is that if you can find a Croagunk nearby and it has Dry Skin, you can use Swagger on his Gyarados and Floatzel and they tend to not know what to do and just use water moves. That’s how I beat Wake the first time I played Platinum!

    "Aside from Roserade she probably have some of the best pokemon in the game" Me, a Roserade fan, : "Hey !"

    Fun fact Johnstone literally didnt notice the Diamond Dust event at 21:47 It's a rare weather mechanic a that only occurs on these dates •January 12th •February 29th •March 15th •April 22nd •Mai 1st •September 20th •Oktober 30th
  • This dude is literally one of very few people that I can watch while doing schoolwork. I don’t even have to look at the screen to know his pain when he loses a battle. Him and EnterTheUnknown are great for watching when you are busy and still want to watch a Pokémon video.
  • @wadosk_NB
    i'm not gonna lie, as someone who struggles with vanilla platinum, i didn't expect this challenge to be possible really impressed
  • @PsychOsmosis
    "[...] as high as level 6. Big difference, I know." A 50% higher level is indeed a big difference.
  • I love these no exp runs. It forces you to use tons of different pokémon that you might not normally use.
  • @Chaos0f7ife
    Alternate title suggestion: Pokemon Trainer Wants to be a Pokemon Ranger
  • @deltaquarayza
    Or: Playing a Main Series Pokémon Game with Pokémon Ranger Rules
  • @Dunkan85_
    *How easily can you beat Cyrus without EXP?
  • You're killing it with both the videos and streams!! This was such a fun run to watch - I really liked the creativity needed to take on some of the battles and how a lot of the rarer 5% and 1% spawns actually proved to be very useful for the run!
