I see them as classics! I pick em up every once in a while and feel so much great nostalgia. Therefore I believe they'll never die and will remain the base of the great series that it Pokemon.

Platinum (x1) - Status: Just training and working on the Battle Frontier.
Pearl (x1) - Status: E4 Beat. Not doing much else but breeding.
Diamond (x1) - Status: Restarted recently. Currently in Eterna Forest.
I just catch a whole bunch of them, then end up picking six of em' as I go and just use them for the E4. Then I train the rest after, but mostly for my pokedex.
