4th Gen Do you use walkthroughs in your D/P/PT?

  • I've only used them for things like getting through Mt. Coronet.. I hate not knowing where to go in caves or things like it.

  • For Diamond, I didn't. I had watched a Platinum walkthrough before though, so I kinda knew what to do.

    For Platinum, I had to watch it again, because I forgot how to do the Distortion World. xD

  • I have the D/P Strategy Guide and Pokedex Guide, and they've helped me a lot. I gave the Strategy Guide to my friend for her Diamond game after I beat Platinum, but I look stuff up in the Pokedex Guide pretty much every day. When I need info that isn't in the guide I look it up on Serebii. Although I did all the older Pokemon games without a guide, there's no way I'd want to play without it now.

    No way, takes away the challenge and the reward of actually finding what to do on your own. I never use a walkthrough on anything these days.

    Personally, didn't use a walkthrough for Platinum (Didn't play Diamond/Pearl). In fact, I've never used a walkthrough for any of the Pokemon games.

    Although, sometimes after I'd been on a certain route or in a cave for quite a while I checked Bulbapedia incase there were any Pokemon which appeared there that I'd want to pick up. I wouldn't really count that as a walkthrough though.

  • I don't remember if I used walkthroughs for my Diamond, but I didn't for Platinum. For some reason I seemed to know what to do all the time :D

  • Geez that is a lot of shinys you got there but anyways back on topic i only use walk throus for the pokedex in the back :3

    Ha, thanks. I sure love that Pokeradar <3

    Oh, and for the walkthroughs, I never buy the "book" versions that Nintendo sells. I always use Serebii's or Psypoke's online walkthroughs. I find them so much more insightful.

  • I use the printed guides for maps and GameFAQS guides for everything else. I like having an exhaustive list of trainers, so I know which of my Pokemon to put at the front to pwn them.
