5Adamant Ditto is a collaborative gaming channel. They make several different videos, but their main feature are their [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]], which they refer to as Let's Try that Again, due to the fact that they are terrible at games and abuse save states. Other features are reviews, Pokémon battles, countdowns, podcasts, and more.
6
7''Adamant Ditto'' is made up of several members. These members include:
8
9!!Active members:
10
11* Matt: A founding member. He's in almost every video, does most of the editing, recording, let's plays, etc.. Also prone to musical outbursts.
12* Don: Also does some technical help with Adamant Ditto, his main character trait is trolling the shit out of everyone.
13* Jess: She doesn't talk much, but laughs a lot. The guys say they keep her around because she "makes them feel funny."
14* Josh: The face of Adamant Ditto. He makes terrible jokes, and then constantly repeats them. According to Ricky, "He's the funniest, yet the least funny of them".
15* Phil: Phil is, according to everyone else, the best of AD at video games. Plus, he's British.
16* David: The oldest member of Adamant Ditto, often said to be the "most offensive" in terms of jokes.
17* Lily: The youngest member of AdamantDitto, Don's daughter.
18
19!!Inactive/Retired members:
20
21* Kyle: A founding member. Sort of like the group's straight man. Except when he trolls in Portal 2.
22* Ricky: Retired. A founding member. He used to appear just as frequently as Matt, and he knows A LOT about games. Also makes the most verbal typos.
23* Izzy: An artist, animator, and gamer. When she's not messing around with AD, she's making art on her channel, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/StevRayBro/ Izzy]] (Formerly known as Steven / StevRayBro)*
24* Tim: Retired. The "phantom" of Adamant Ditto. Whenever he does show up though, expect him to be incomprehensible.
25* Viper: She did help found the channel, but appears the least of them all. This is because, sadly, she has a life. She is the self-proclaimed girliest nerd ever.
26* Carissa: Matt's wife. Not really much of a gamer, but she does play a few games with Matt. According to Matt of all people, she is secretly in love with Josh.
27* Alex: Retired. Originally a fan of the show. Don's ex. (Formerly known as Amanda)*
28
29->*The usage of dead names here is not out of disrespect for the transgender members of AdamantDitto, it is purely to note for people who may not be aware, as the videos before the Revived Era had them both prior to transitioning.

141** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KTygA2GWd8 Bashful Kabuterimon]]

147** Jess wants to set the Pokemon Gothitelle on fire.
148** Throughout Metal Slug 3, Ricky likens his disdain of Kiddy Kong to Matt's hatred of Yanma. Naturally, it becomes a running gag for the whole rest of the let's play.

178-->'''Ricky''': [[HoYay I love you Tim.]] Have my babies Tim!
179-->'''Matt''': Oh, Tim! You're gonna have some babies!
180-->'''Tim''': I know, I'm gonna have an opportunity to reproduce! Something no one ever thought was possible!
181-->'''Izzy''': I'd like to note that I don't believe two males...

202** And again in a random Pokemon battle:
203-->'''David''': Beautifly is a thing?
204-->'''Ricky''': Yeah, Beautifly. It evolves from, uh, one of the 'coons. (Silcoon or Cascoon)
205-->'''David''': Hey, you watch it.

207-->'''David''': This is not helping.
208* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: From Pokemon Yellow.
209-->'''Tim''': Catch a Caterpie, evolve it into a Metapod, and call it PENIS.

243** Several let's try that agains were lost due to computer problems.
244** In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Carissa calls Matt via phone, and Matt can't figure out how to mute his mic in time. He didn't even cut it out in post-production.
245** In The-Thousand Year Door, Carissa wanted to be in a few videos, so Matt used a mic that can record both their audio. Unfortunately, Matt didn't make sure that it was compatible with the streaming program. Basically, it there were a few videos of the group talking to someone who wasn't there. Matt did re-record himself in post, though.
246** While not a technical difficulty, at the end of their Q&A, Kyle falls asleep, and no one wants to kick him from the call. Hilarity ensues.
