Pokemon Platinum Version

I got a copie of the game whilst i was in America, and its Amazing. Some of the Sinnoh region Gyms have had a make over, the all new distortion world is fun to play around in. A must Buy 4 all pokemon Fans.

all pokemon games are exactly the same just all they've done is different skins for characters and pokemon.

not one thing is different.
- you start out choosing one of 3 pokemon
-you meet a rival.
-you do gym battles
-you meet a rival organization that wants to steal something
-you catch a legendary pokemon
-you finish up just going through the game doing a string of battles and then try and catch all the pokemon

and then you go out a few months later and buy the same game but with a different colour after the title.

Being a huge Pokemon fan i think this game is absolutely brill... and what more can you ask for updated version of Diamond/Pearl plus more varities of Pokemon including Scyther, Wingull, Ralts, Swablu and many many more, Also there is a new ledgendary in town...Giratina and a chance to catch Palkia and Dialga later on in the game. Also the game features new characters such as the looker who gives you a bit of info on the where abouts of team galactic and the insite to what they are up too. This game is even better than Diamond/Pearl and other Pokemon games out there on the hand held consoles. As i have completed only Pearl i found much easier to complete Platinum as i did find difficulty completing Pearl the first time. Overall this game is 100%, 10/10, Superbly brilliant. :D

To say that these games are the same story wrapped in different skin is true for most games these days - for example Mario and Zelda. Pokemon is a formula that has worked for years, and will continue to work. Why mend something that isn't broken? The games are lovely to look at (though why can we not walk wherever which way we like yet?), play well with little to no glitches, and the Pokemon designs, though considered the weakest of the series, aren't all that bad, and in Platinum a lot of old favourites become available sooner, leading to happier retro fan boys and girls. Platinum is, yes, a copy of Diamond and Pearl, but with added features and the Pokemon swapped around here and there. Other than saying if you like Pokemon, or have a lot of spare time, you'll love Platinum, there's little else to say. Anyone who is sick of the series should just not buy the games really.

For those that say there is no difference between this and Diamond and Pearl don't know what they are talkign about. Some of the charges are subtle like snow in Twin Leaf town and the pokemon you can catch and their locations but others include the order you find and do things and the expantion of the Sinnoh Pokedex, inculding being able to record one of the most elusive pokemon of them all. Also once you have obtained the national Pokedex and spoken to Prof Oak in the Pal Park and Eterna City you'll be in for a HUGE suprise
