• (8:42) The Japanese folkloric creature baku (獏), typically represented as a tapir, is said to enter dreams and devour them as sustenance (it's not picky about the type of dream), hence why Dream Eater is a HP-draining move.
• (11:28) Can be sold for 4000p, does nothing otherwise. Can be found in Golden Chamber chests, or as buried treasure in endgame dungeons (if you come to a sudden stop in a corridor, there's buried treasure within one tile; use Rock Smash, max IQ Palkia, or someone that can go through walls). May also appear in exploration requests looking for such.
• (12:29) My least favourite story dungeon, even including Aegis Cave…rain on 2F, fog on 3F and 11F, cloud on 5F and 6F, sun on 8F and 9F. Kangaskhan can wreck you with STAB Double Hit, as can the Meditite line with Huge Power, Scizor's Technician-boosted Bullet Punch and Hitmonchan's Iron Fist-boosted moves. If you don't have anything super-effective against Shedinja (Flying, Rock, Ghost, Fire, Dark), bring throwing items so you can hurt it (eg. Gravelerocks).
• (12:29) Starters only (story-wise) for the next four dungeons.
• (14:06) Yet another editing screw-up…I REALLY HATE THIS DUNGEON! (Got rid of a Fearow and Shedinja).
• (19:49) The Wobbuffet line's Destiny Bond forces an adjacent attacker to take the same amount the DB user just did, and Wigglytuff's STAB Doubleslap can hurt (graduation flashbacks, anyone?).
• (19:49) Notice how most Pokémon here are the same species (or evolutionary line) as friendly NPCs…
• (23:08) No point bothering with the charade…it's really Darkrai behind a glamour (because it'd be pretty stupid of him to reveal himself instantly). He's also the one behind the nightmare (and more besides), which explains why Drowzee felt something really off about it.
• (35:47) You'll be stuck at the entrance to the next dungeon until you complete it, so if you have training or other tasks to do, do them now.
• (40:31) aka the Hidden Land on crack; fog on B4, B12, D-B1 and D-B2, cloud on B3, B4 and B10, sun on B8, B14 and D-B5, rain on D-B9. Again, use your wisest judgment.
• (44:22) There's a key room here on B9F that may hold a Lunar Veil (Cresselia: turns user-only support moves [Double Team, etc.] into AoE moves [Agility, etc.]), Plasma Veil (Rotom: gives it the Static ability, basically), or Sky-High Veil (Rayquaza: +1 to movement speed in clear weather).
• (45:11) Palkia is significantly more hammy than Dialga; that's reflected in both music and speech patterns (Palkia uses オレ compared to Dialga's わたし, for example).
• (47:54) "Please understand" http://i.imgur.com/FcGJdsw.png
• (49:46) Adding め to the end of a name, descriptor, or similar turns it into an insult/display of contempt.
• (52:44–52:48) JP: けす (消す), "to erase, to extinguish", etc. Dancing around the word "death" in both languages, though the intention is obvious.
• (58:55) As you'd expect from a volcanic area, Dark Crater is a Fire-themed dungeon; its sister dungeon is Giant Volcano, home of Heatran. Be sure to bring a lot of recovery items, as Cresselia has a tendency to get caught up in fights beyond her capability and hog Reviver Seeds as a result. Turn off All-Terrain Hiker on your partner if they have it (and are not Fire-type), otherwise they may walk in lava and burn themselves. Bring the Lunar Veil if you got it from Spacial Rift, so she can share Double Team boosts with you. Starters can hurt you bad with Blaze-boosted attacks, Rhyperior can get a lucky KO with Horn Drill, and Combusken may use the ever-broken Mirror Move. And be VERY careful if you have Fire or Electric starters, as Camerupt likes to spam Earth Power (again…).
• (1:05:49) I assume the Time Gear in the volcano was here in Dark Crater at some point…but Darkrai moved it for whatever reason. So how'd he manage to spread that false "keep the Time Gears in X location or the world will come to a standstill" rumour to the point where NEARLY EVERYONE (even legends!) were convinced of it?!
• (1:05:41) No "help I can't control my powers" misunderstood loner; this one REVELS in his malice.
• (1:07:10) He throws up another glamour at some point during this conversation.
• (1:08:19) And the glamour trips and says something COMPLETELY out-of-character.
• (1:09:34) Be ESPECIALLY careful if you're playing Sky, as Platinum added Ominous Wind to Darkrai's movepool! Disable it IMMEDIATELY. Hope you brought a lot of Reviver Seeds and Oran Berries, you're going to need them for the constant mobbing here. If you plan to use Discharge, get rid of Rhyperior and its Lightning Rod with all haste.
• (1:11:23) Of course, Darkrai, in his overconfidence, decides to rub it in your face instead of just fleeing immediately, which leads to…
• (1:11:46) Palkia's still infuriated by Darkrai's intrusion into his domain, and he WILL have his revenge!
• (1:12:53–1:12:55) They do need an excuse as to why you can recruit it later, after all.
