My Pokemon Platinum Video Guide

[Cyndaquil]

Here I am advertising my pokemon platinum video guide. I'm looking for some criticism or comments and advice on what I should do with it. Here is the link to the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=5FA4568B08AC8E5D

Well, a couple things... all due respect, it's not much of a walkthrough if you don't actually walk viewers through things. I flicked through a couple of the videos, and it looks like you don't add any narration or anything to the videos, or even some sort of explanation of what it is you're doing in the vid in the written summary. These aren't so much walkthrough vids as invitations to other people to watch you play through the game, which isn't nearly as useful. The idea of a walkthrough is to explain for people who don't understand what's happening plot-wise, why you're deciding to do certain things, discuss strategies for beating a tricky spot that's made even more tricky by a lack of knowledge of Japanese. Think of it this way: what if you were taught to solve logarithms with only a set of examples and no explanation of what was going on. You'd probably get it eventually, and perhaps struggling to understand it would be more rewarding. Your videos as is are an example, not a guide.

And secondly, are you not able to record sound? The Platinum music is something that a lot of people really like, and so those just checking out the vids to see what Platinum's like, rather than pick up on the walkthrough part, would probably appreciate original audio over what you've dubbed in.

Do you have annotations on?

Platinum music would be nice. I don't like the music in the videos, to be honest.

Ok I finally stocked it up with annotations. Now I'll try and see if I can get sound on it. Look and tell me please.
