    Well it can be annoying if you want to beat the game fast and you're trying hard to figure out how to get that next badge. However, I don't really mind the 5th Gym Leader being the 3rd Gym Leader. The only thing that I think could've been changed was the order of the Gym Case badges; that's one of the reasons on how it confuses us. Fantina is still on the 5th place for the badge, and I would have liked it to be on the 3rd place since Fantina is now the 3rd Gym Leader. Other than that, I didn't really mind Fantina being the 3rd Gym Leader in Platinum.

    I didn't find her moving to the third gym leader annoying, just the fight with her itself. I beat her on my first try but MAN she really ticked me off while fighting her. Her pokemon were so annoying! I wasn't too fond of the distortion world either, it was kind of boring, and I almost gave up on trying to capture Giratina because it kept running out of PP and killing itself with struggle. Sometimes I don't even know why I bother trying to catch legendaries anymore, I rarely use them and they're so annoying to catch. At least now it's not like it was in RBY where you could "miss" the pokemon.

    The Distortion World was a pain, and Fantina was hard to beat. But I knew well in advance that she'd been moved, so I had no trouble. You know, my team was underleveled for EVERY major battle in the game, ie Gym Leaders and Galactic Commanders, up till Aaron. After beating Volkner, I went back and bumped my team up 10 levels each, so that helped me sweep the E4. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the level 84 Blastoise that I didn't trade from Diamond.

    Yeah, I was under leveled for most of the major battles too, especially Cynthia. Though I was able to pull through the E4 thanks to type advantages and a crap load of full restores and revives.

    I didn't have any problems with Fantina in Platinum at all ._.;; I beat her on my first attempt - she caused me more problems in Diamond and Pearl.

    Pokedex filling, and the pleasure of knowing that you have a non-hacked Pokemon that can pwn. :)

    i think the most annoying part of platinum is all the fricken talking like it is ok the first time you play but i think the talking is about twice as much as in diamond and pearl i just think they went over board

    I prefer battling with Pokémon that I've raised throughout the game, and I know I can't be bothered to level Giratina up to the level of the others now xD

    Is it bad that I don't really bother with filling the Pokédex? I mean, I SEE them all, but I don't particularly want to catch them all.

    Yeah, I'm the same way. I feel kind of cheap using legendaries in battles, especially against an actual person, and I've never filled completely filled up the pokedex in any of the games, and I've been playing since R/B/Y.

    Hey guys, back from the dead!

    So what do you think about having the 5th gym leader first? I found that very annoying, spent a couple of hours trying to get to route 209, but then figured out that Fantina was third. How. Annoying. :(

    In all honesty, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I swear, I have so much of a hard time beating her... in Diamond/Pearl, it was so easy to level up too but in Platinum, I pretty much DREAD going to beat her because it's...ugh.

    Wait... are you talking about Fatina...?

    Till now, the only thing that annoys me in Platinum is that the Gym Leaders are a little harder than in Diamond/Pearl. It's not much harder, but enough to make me lose from them, while I beat Diamond with only losing from the E4 a few times.

    ... anyone else agree that this is REALLY ANNOYING??? I had all my Pokes on equal levels except for my Torterra which was about 5 levels above. Then I went up against Wake and against all odds his freakin' Floatzel Ko'd my strongest Poke!! I had to restart the game from the Lakeside Hotel so I could put all those EXP that I evenly divided between all my pokes into my Torterra to beef him up, so that he actually stood a fighting chance! So bloody annoying!!!

    I didn't think that was annoying at all. In fact, I thought of it more as a challenge. We see harder gyms, we train harder so we can make out Pokemon better overall. Not everything that's harder is necessarily annoying, they're just more of a challenge.

    The only thing I found hard was the Distortion World. It was a really difficult maze to navigate through and most of it took me a long time.
