I Beat Pokemon Platinum Without Gaining EXP
Ойындар
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...

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!

Roserade isnt actually a bad mon. But its only above average speed means it doesnt often go first and since its grass type it has a ton of weaknesses. So it gets blown away often. Still rocked one on my team tho
23:01 I always knew Professor Juniper was evil.
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.
I love these no exp runs. It forces you to use tons of different pokémon that you might not normally use.

You continue to give fresh perspectives on the games! Love the content and would love to see more of this type of challenge. Also I pretty much enjoy the KZread friendly video. Never been much of a Twitch guy (except for some e sports) so your extra mile with KZread is very appreciated.
It’s so cool that you have a smile on your face pretty much the whole video, it really shows that you actually enjoy what you’re doing :)
The crasher wake section reminded me of my Platinum Randomizer where I used a Choice Specs Raichu that I got on the second route at around level 3, good times.
You could describe this challenge as "Platinum without Leveling Up" and then the 17 exp you earned wouldn't really matter.

Didn’t you already watch this on twitch? Me: Yes Then why are you watching it again? Me: Yes
I love your videos!! ;)
I’m always so happy when he posts because there all so good
Hey Johnstone, my man! Loved watching your Professor Oak Challenge runs, but I'm a bit stuck. I've recently gotten ahold of a copy of White Version 2, and I'm really interested in trying to beat it with POC rules, but there's no actual guides online. I did Silver a while back on emulator and I used your resources while having a blast with it, so if the challenge seems daunting, I understand, but I would LOVE to see you tackle this in the near future~ Best of luck with your future challenges though! ^w^
Good luck on reaching the like goal! Been trying to catch your streams on my days off because I think you’re funny and push chats buttons ;P
I like these no EXP challenges because they're more in line with the whole "gotta catch em' all" theme. Okay, i admit, i ACTUALLY like them because you have a reason to use proper strategy.
Really enjoy your videos
John's main channel voice sounds like when the teacher calls your name for attendence and its lower

Such a cool run! And a very well built video!
In the begging u could have caught Rotom
This is the game that got me back into pokemon, I thought they had lost me for a while but this brought me back.
I'm not into streams but ill always watch your videos!
Fun vid as always! I do think your stream and chat are a little distracting, since you actively talk o your stream but are narrating the vid so it’s a lot going on. As always though, you continue super fun and different Pokémon challenge content!
I don't know why but I'm very intrigued on the making off of your videos. Could you consider making a video to show us how you prepare and edit your vids, like Mah-Dry-Bread did a while ago?
Johnstone "not only is it double our level, but it's also fully evolved" and underleveled
Voice-over John: I assumed I would lose, but luckily my beautifly got a crit, which is kinda lucky, but a win's a win Streaming John: YES!!!!!! WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Johnstone is like the only youtuber have watched that straight up said "if you change your mind along the way and unsubscribe, go ahead"
I love these types of challenge videos
Need more of these
Great video!!!
Those Streams were Pog! Currently he's doing the same with pokemon white on twitch!
Fricc I love Johnstone
hey john, it would be cool if you include some of your live reactions in certain parts of the video interspersed with your narration (in lucky moments, for example)
Man some of your chat members have terrible opinions
Fun Fact... This is a Anti Piracy measurement implemented in Gen 4 and 5... Meant to make the game frustrating as possible
I love your vids John Hope you see this, have a good day

In light of the EXP glitch at the end you could rename the challenge to “Beat Pokémon with no level ups”.
Love these 30+ minute vids
When you said you slathered honey hoping for a Heracross, I was like, I bet you he'll get a Munchlax on the first tree on this run.
John: Man Fantina was so hard, hopefully its all smooth sailing from here Cyrus: Hold my beer
Ironically I found this as I was grinding my team up to around level 63 in Platinum for the League.
You should put a couple of quick audio clips from your stream in your next video (if it involves the stream recording), the people need to know how different you sound 👌😎
Nice johntent
So I normally use your videos for the Professor Oak Challenges, and was just wondering if you were planning on doing one for Black/White 2 or X/Y? Just curious because these are two games I'm considering.
thanks john, I think I’ll try this for live streaming too with no exp run,, btw can u give me the tutorial how to do 0 exp mod?
It’s amazing how his tone changes drastically from his main to his live version
First Try Freddy really pulled thru on Fantina and Cyrus, what a good run 👏👏👏
Hi jon! Please consider putting this challenge to rest with completing the Elite 4 round 2 as well in Platinum. I dont know if it would be much different, but it would be interesting as Cynthia's team gets another like 10 levels
I see someone found my true power :)

I actually did this run back in May of last year and I'm quite surprised at how different some of our solutions were to each gym. The one that surprised me the most was Wake. For Wake, I used Tangela from Pastoria Marsh to help with Floatzel, since Ice Fang didn't OHKO through it's high Def, and it had Stun Spore, so I didn't have to rely on Static. The Gyarados was a much bigger issue for me since I didn't do the Quick Claw/Thunder strat with Raichu. Instead I used Stun Spore Tangela to weaken it and then bullied the Gyarados with Water Absorb Quagsire from the Great Marsh and Intimidate Staravia, which wasn't always successful depending on what turns it was paralyzed for. I also spent a lot of time grinding money off the 2 Rich trainers next to the Mansion right before the E4 in order to give Azelf 10 Calcium/Carbos, just to have an easier time with that whole thing because I was quite afraid of the E4.
U should definitely do some for other games!
Oh wow, last time I was here I still didn’t know John had a hooman face
