Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Speedrunner Finishes Pokedex in One Day

In Pokemon, one of the main goals, and catchphrases, of the game is “Gotta catch ’em all,” prompting players to try and fill out their Pokedex by encountering and capturing every Pokemon possible in the game. For some, this goal might seem impossible, as you need to venture all over, capturing Pokemon, completing trades, and more to get every single one. For Twitch streamer SmallAnt, though, the accomplishment was all in a day’s work.

As you can see in the video below, the well-known Pokemon streamer managed to complete his entire Podex in Brilliant Diamond in just one day. To be exact, it took about 21 hours of straight streaming Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl to complete this task.

How exactly did he accomplish this monumental feat? Well, by owning both copies of the game, SmallAnt was able to trade both the starters and the exclusive Pokemon found in Shining Pearl over to Brilliant Diamond before getting the rest of the others through encounters.

You can check out the full run of this on SmallAnt’s Twitch channel, where he is constantly coming up with new and interesting speed runs for all of the Pokemon games.
