  • I have Platinum. I received it three days after it came out.
    Also, Platinum is different than Diamond in some aspects, with a different storyline and such. Some cities and towns have been revamped also!
    I would recommend getting Platinum, but it is up to you!

    It has a TON of new features, to be honest. Other than the storyline being different, even some of the pokemon have been rearranged. I've ran into pokemon in locations that they would not normally appear. Not to mention the move tutors.

    You get a Return TM at the very early of the game, and again later on. The gyms have been revamped, and the leaders seem stronger than before. There are more Wi-fi features such as recording matches, mini-games, and I believe you can fight random people over wi-fi like you can on Battle Revolution.

    I am on May 22nd, god damn European launch dates =(

    I could just download it and play it sooner, but I really don't want to do that.

    Or you could just buy American version, just like me, on internet :P (I'm from Poland)

    I'm getting it in exactly two weeks. (on the 23.) That's my Barfday. :D
    I can't wait to play through with my ready-set Platinum team in Diamond.​

  • I got it as well on the day it came out. A lot can be done prior to D/P like the Battle Frontier and the Wifi-Plaza. And it's compatible with Battle Revolution.

    Get it. I think it's worth it.

  • Y'know, Platinum's the closest game that neared the
    Gold/Silver/Crystal feel. Amazing that the latest game,
    the one most advanced, the one the farthest from
    the second generation, is the one that reminds you of
    the earlier times...

    Everything's so exhilirating.
    I love the crisper colours. Everything's just bright and vivid.
    You could also leap onto Wi-Fi Plaza any time you
    want to take a break from the major story line, yet you
    want to keep playing.

    Compared to Diamond, I'd still say it's worth it.
    A lot of things have been changed around. The new battle
    places are nice (I miss some of the emerald ones like the
    battle pike and the dojo place where the pokemon
    controlled themselves).

    Wi-Fi has been MAJORLY upgraded. It's the biggest
    step forward in DS Wi-Fi capabilities.
    Wi-Fi Plaza + Battle Recorder -drool-
    The Battle Recorder is Battle Frontier compatible, of course,
    and you can upload interesting things for everyone to see,
    like photos of your accessorized pokemon, your
    box data, your favourite battle recordings, etc.

    I thought we'd have a choice to record each battle we had,
    but even w/o that, it's still really nice.

    Anyway, to answer your question:
    YES.
