    I started Platinum about an hour ago, right now I just talked to Roark in the mine so I'm heading to the first gym at the moment. I chose Turtwig, even though I was thinking of choosing Chimchar, it's just that I love Turtwig so much. :3

    I also bought the "official" guide along with Platinum, and it's friggin 600 pages long! But it's made out of cheaper paper, not like the smooth plastic-y paper in previous "official" guides.

    EDIT: I just swept Roark with Turtwig, who is now level 16.

    I play Platinum now too. Finally it came english... I played it 3 hours 29 minutes today and I am now at Floaroma city. I started with a Chimchar and I caught all pokémons from home to Floaroma (I think I caught...) Platinum is awsome game I have to say that. It can be noticed from the beginning of the game. I play it with my "DS"(emulator)...

    I, too, have started Platinum with my friend today. It figures that we've both chosen Turtwig, because neither of us have chosen him yet. While he's spending his time over-levelling his already Torterra, I'm patiently training an even 3 pokemon. Once I've beaten Fantina, I'm going to raise my Ralts and Gible I recently caught. Here's mah team so far:

    Terrace/Grotle, lv27
    -Mega Drain
    -Razor Leaf
    -Curse
    -Bite

    Larynx/Luxio, lv26 (Intimidate ability)
    -Spark
    -Charge
    -Leer
    -Bite

    Tabaz/Golbat, lv25
    -Bite
    -Wing Attack
    -Astonish
    -Confuse Ray

    I also have Raltsand Gible in my party ready for training, and I plan on getting an Eevee and turning it into Vaporeon. Well, that's pretty much it for now. Until next time!

    Well, I've been VERY steadily playing Platinum today [been so busy unlike planned x_x], and yeah. I chose my starter, and finished the battle w/ my rival [named Matt as in Pink], and now I just got the running shoes.

    However, as soon as I beat the first gym, I plan on going on WiFi to play Minigames with Haraken :D!!

    And, yesterday, I finally got the Regigigas Event from TRU in my Pearl Version [I'll be trading it and Shaymin over soon!]; meanwhile, my copy of Diamond still manages to evade detection. Woe is me!

    Well I'll join the crowd. I just got Platinum...well technically yesterday :D I started out with a Turtwig. (First one I've ever had) he's really awesome and he's pretty much my main pokemon because I've been transfering the ones from diamond over. The first was my favorite pokemon my shiny espeon, along with my shaymin, regigigas, shiny pachirisu, shiny buizel, and shiny stunky. I've beaten the first two gyms but I've been working on other things in the game like my secret base. I'm going to make this one nice :D I've also started planting berries early in the game. I was so stoaked when I saw my shaymin take sky form I was like awww yeah! :D Tomorrow i'm going to capture pokemon so I can transfer more over to platinum. Oh yeah I finally played with a pokemon that had a higher level than I could master because of the lack of badges! It was hilarious. My shiny espy went to sleep on me in a battle. I thought that was neat. Oh and I'm digging the new sprites. Well until next time :D

    Current Team:-
    Fate, Zangoose, level 46
    Falcon, Staravia, Level 43
    Trevor, Torterra, Level 44
    Gabriel, Gabite, Level 42

    It's fun reading about everyones progress.

    I started Platinum yesterday, I'm comming up on 6 hours and here is my situation.

    I started with good ole piplup. Water ftw!
    Caught a bunch of pokemon, but I'm not going to use any I've used in a game before so It's hard to put my team toghether.

    So Far I have a level 21 Prinplup, I beat Roarak and I just helped the honey guy.
    I caught a level 5 Ponyta and I trained her to level 16 off wild pokes <.<!

    I'm going to try and get a Gligar on route 206.
    and then a duskull on route 209.
    and then a Yanma in the marsh.

    I'll probablly fill the last spot with a legandary! I'm having tons of fun so far!

    Team:
    • Luxray - Lv. 43; Swagger, Crunch, Thunder Fang, Spark
    • Staraptor - Lv. 40; Aerial Ace, Defog, Close Combat, Fly
    • Floatzel - Lv. 33; Aqua Jet, Quick Attack, Crunch, Surf
    • Infernape - Lv. 44; Close Combat, Mach Punch, Ember, Flame Wheel
    • Biberal - Lv. 15 - Strength, Rock Smash, Cut, Rock Climb (HM Slave)
    • Riolu Egg (Almost ready to hatch)

    I realize most of my Pokémon's moves suck, and I really need to train more.
