    • Heh, I couldn't bring myself to wait for the may 22nd release date so I imported it from the US and got it on March 27th. It's a really good game and you won't be dissapointed!

    I couldn't bring myself to wait for even the US release, so I ordered it straight from Japan a few days after it's September release XD

    Why do people so exited about Platinum?Yes its better but it dosnt have soooo many diffrence,its like crystal and emerald,Deffrent sprite,deffrent way to battle the main pokemon,and deffrent gym pokemon,and the 2 past main pokemon at lvl.70(Like Groudon is the main pokemon of ruby and its in Emerald).But theres the battle frontier in emerald and Platnum.
    It just a Remake,and still the same Storyline.I have already beated the Elite four and after i caught dialga and palkia i stoped playing it cause it got boring and the Battle frontier isnt intresting.

    Anyways Congrats on hope you find it better then you expected.

    For those who like competitive Battling, four Important things were added:

    -New Formes (All being either OU or Uber)
    -New Level-Up Moves
    -Move Tutor Moves
    -New Battle Frontier

    The biggest selling point for me was that as of Platinum, only Three Pokemon cannot have Four Moves at once:

    -Weedle (Poison Sting, String Shot, Bug Bite)
    -Ditto (Transform)
    -Unown (Hidden Power)


    Trivia: 4th Gen is not the first Generation where Magikarp could have 4 moves at once. GSC Had An Event Magikarp that came with one of two moves: Bubble or Reversal. Added with it's 3 Level-Up Moves, That Makes 4.

    I'm happy for you. I hope you enjoy your copy of Platinum. ^^

    @shadowampharos: You really don't have to be so discouraging.​

    • 22nd May for me as well. Avoiding the whole importing thing as I can't afford be distracted from uni work really, need to keep my mind on the job and find it hard enough doing that sometimes anyway! :laugh:

    It's not like I'm completely impatient anyway hehe, I got Diamond to entertain me for my Pokemon needs at the moment.

    I'm buying the game purely for the online competitive battling side of things really, and love the fact we can record our last battles. Only heard great things about the Battle Frontier too. But of course I do enjoy playing through the game as well!
