    With the release of HG/SS looming over us (quite exciting, really!) do you think people are going to quit playing Pearl/Diamond/Platinum?

    I know I won't. But thats cause most of my "training equipment" is in my diamond. But I will stop using it for battles.

    Yep, simply because I havent even gotten all the damn badges yet, because im slow and get pre-occupied easily and forget what it is im doing in the game so re start it.

    I'm having trouble playing Platinum as it is, just can't find anything to do and as for Diamond haven't played it in ages, so the answer is yes I will probably quit playing it for now.

    I'll use my Diamond anyway. I still have to beat the game since I restarted yesterday xD.

    But of course as soon as I get Soul Silver it will take over my mind..

    When I get SoulSilver, I will probably stop playing Platinum for the most part. The reasons for that is simple:

    -I despise contests. :s
    -I like how the Pokeathlon looks. It seems fun.
    -REBATTLING RED EVERY TIME YOU BEAT THE ELITE FOUR ONCE! ASSOFDNVISDNGAD;ASIFNSDNFND :D
    -An Elite Four with types I like better than the Sinnoh one? ;o
    -A better storyline? (at least waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than D/P's..)
    -Better graphics :D
    -I liek Lugias :D more than Giratinas :-o
    -I like the PC box system better in HGSS xD

    So yeah, gonna use Platinum as a slave game and SoulSilver as my main one. :3

    Thankfully my mother has a DS aswell so I can just borrow that one while she's not home (hehe! :D) to trade over all my good pokes from Pt to SS when I feel like it :]

    I'm going to be doing an eevee evo run through on my heart gold, so when I get it I'll probs still be getting eggs from my diamond. But I'm bored with my diamond anyway. I think for a while not many people will play, but eventually people will decide to go through the games again

    I will probably get preoccupied with HGSS and lots of other games, so maybe... I'm not going to play it for a while unless I'm in the mood.

    The only thing I'll use my Diamond and Platinum for is trading.

    I won't stop playing Platinum, per se, but it's usage will see a drastic decline.

    Some people will. My brother will, or at least that's what he claims. I will not, however.

    I've built up a pretty large contact list in my Platinum Pal Pad. The globe at the GTS that tracks the places of people you've connected with is pretty full as well in Platinum. I am currently at 491 for Pokedex completion. I've beat a good number of the Contests and gotten all the Frontier Silver Prints (and one gold as well). I don't want to have to start all of that over just because of the new games. So, I'll play through SS once, maybe twice over the summer (when I won't be on wi-fi anyway) and resume trading/battling on Platinum once I'm done with that.

    I'll stop playing it for a while.But that's coz i'll be playing SoulSilver.

    I'll start again though.I like replaying my games, so i'll probably trade everything over to Diamond (gonna be my storage)
