Diamond... or Pearl... or Platinum.
 
ill probably get all three... im an addict, you got a problem with that? but im thinking that i want to get two. Definitely platinum, but of the other two, well , im confused. Thoughts?

If you haven't already gotten either Diamond or Pearl then you should just wait for Platinum to come out and by that.

ok, well thanks. i just got my Ds a couple days ago, so i havnt had time to get it. Stupid country town without a game shop. Grr! thanks again!

I don't have Platinum or Pearl, but i've played them both.

My friend has Platinum (He hasn't beatin the game yet), I beat a couple of gyms for him (and got through the "Torn World" For him). I like Platinum lots.

Pearl my other friend has. It's mainly the same as diamond, but Palkia is weaker compared to Dialga....

I have Diamond, and I find it more supior to Pearl.

But, Platinum takes the cake because it just totally shifted the 4th generation ito a semi-new story.

Get Platinum. The previous third-version of each generation games are always at least a little better (besides yellow, maybe), so why wouldn't you want to get them? They have extra content, better sprites, and other new features.

This is especially the case with Platinum. One of the things I like most about pokemon is just playing through the story line over and over, and with Platinum that is much easier. You're no longer restricted to catching so few pokemon before you get the national dex, there's extra story that looks more interesting, and other added features.

As silly as this sounds, I'd rather have two Platinums than any other combination of the games. I don't see the point in getting both Platinum and Pearl, for example, since Platinum is superior in every way, basically. Of course, not everyone can afford buying two once they have both previous versions, but since you don't have any of them yet, I'd recommend just getting Platinum, and if you want a spare game, just get another Platinum. >_>

yeah, thanks for your views. i wanted to play through both storylines, and see the differences. Ill end up with diamond and platinum, probably.

Wulf February 14th, 2009 9:27 PM

I'd say just get one. Probably Plat. I'm fine with Pearl, I don't think I'm gonna waste my money on a rehashed version.

Mattysaurus February 14th, 2009 9:28 PM

Yah, get Diamond. I had both It and Pearl and I always thought Diamond was better. But if you want to wait a few then get Platinum for all the upated stuff.

I have Pearl, because of the version exclusives. I might try Platinum for the updated game elements, but I don't feel like filling in the Pokedex, my Pal Pad, and re-doing the Contests all over again, so Pearl will remain my main game.

Then there's the fact that I don't think I'll be able to afford it when it first comes out.

lol i used to have Diamond, and its far more superior, i believe, then Pearl, since Diagla is mway stronger. i mean seriously, like 3/4 of attacks that go on it are not effective...its pretty sick. and also, version exclusisves.

so ya. Def buy Platinum, and if u can afford it, i would deffinatly go for Diamond. Having 2 si also the best, since u can like trade between the two, and you can make one really good with your dream team, the other for like doing challenges or getting spcial pokemon(i am seeing alot of monotype challenges l8tly), so ya. Hey, that is what i may do!

Just get whichever ones. Diamond and Pearl are identical except for the legendary. There's nothing more to discuss.
