    Bonsly can rarely be found in the Trophy Garden, in Platinum. That is the only place it can be found, without trading.

    Sudowoodo is apparently a common catch along Route 221. If I remember correctly... that's the Route that leads to Pal Park/the Route where Pal Park is... but I will forewarn that I actually haven't been on this route in my own version of Platinum, so I can't certify if the information I found on Sudowoodo's location in Platinum is true or not. But its a good place to start, huh? XD

    Sell my PSP for Platinum?

    Should I sell my PSP for a DS and Platinum? I really want it, but it's a tough decision. I'm really sentimental so I'm not sure if I should sell my PSP. Can you give me your input on the situation?

    It depends. How often do you play your PSP? How many games do you play regularly? If you buy a DS, don't but it solely for Platinum. But if you only play 1 or 2 games regularly on the PSP, then perhaps a change to DS may be good. Ultimately it's your choice.

    Well... what kind of games do you like that you have on your PSP? If you're an RPG fan, you might want to keep your PSP, seeing as the PSP has some pretty nice ports of old games, though it might not bother you too much, should you be American. The likes of Final Fantasy Tactics and the first two Star Ocean games definitely didn't come to the UK, though I think Star Ocean was Japan-Only, until Til the End of Time. It even has Breath of Fire III, which I've played for the first time on the PSP and find it a really enjoyable game.

    Basically, it boils down to which console will you have a better time with? The PSP or a DS. (I'd suggest Lite if you have the GBA Pokemon titles, since the DSi is just Nintendo cashing in on what the PSP does) Myself? I own both consoles solely because there are games on both platforms that I really wanted and I'm glad I decided to get both. At first, was a little sceptacle about the DS, but eventually caved and bought one when Diamond/Pearl were FINALLY announced for release, years ago. But like Tortured_Soul said, if you do sell your PSP for a DS, don't just buy it for Platinum; make sure there are other games you'd want to play, 'kay? ;)

    @ -Leaf: I had another look around, because the information I found before was rather vague, but yes; Bonsly is a Daily Pokemon at the Mansion, which is added randomly when Mr. Backlot is cornered about what Pokemon he has in his garden. So... the Sudowoodo on Route 221 are your best bet at going for; you can always breed, if you really WANT to start with a Bonsly.

    Also, Rotom is indeed a part of the Sinnoh Dex, in Platinum and in light of that, is very possible to be caught, pre-National Dex.

    @ gigabyte8877: I think it is much like how you can between Diamond and Pearl. You can start trading once you have gained the ability to catch other Pokemon. However, I haven't tested this, and if it works, it will only for local, Pokemon Center 2F trades. B1F WiFi Trades and the GTS still require you to have beaten the first Gym, I believe...

    Sudwoodo seems to appear there only on Pearl :(
    so i'll stick to the trophy garden.. and ill have to wait till the national dex.. or trade and then breed (or trade an egg for an egg and then breed)
    so i guess trading would be the fastest way i can get a sudowoodo.. too bad..

    also, where can i get a spiritomb?
