Any UK Pokémon Platinum future owners post here!
 
I am a UK resident and I am getting Pokémon Platinum next week when it is released in the states so if you are like me getting it imported post here and discuss you anticipation like I am having at the moment because I have pre-orded it a month ago and am getting a free Giratina Origin Forme model so I cannot wait.

PS: move this thread if I have posted it in the wrong section.

XD It's a tad off-topic but, at Gamestop, when I got SMG they gave me the coin (even when I didn't reserve the game) I guess they must be getting rid of those, or not many people are pre-ordering atm. I'm not in the UK either, but I got the game though. Although, I'd like to get that Giratina figure as well. (put it next to the tv) The wait might seem short, but days always go very slow if you start wanting the game more. :\

I've got it on order. Can't wait to start playing, did the same thing with Pearl.

Abbandon March 20th, 2009 1:19 AM

i may get it when its actually released in the UK and the price has gone down a little.. i'm happy with pearl right now

Guitar God in Training March 21st, 2009 6:07 AM

I'm gonna preorder it at the beginning of May so I can get the Giratina Figure :P
Might upgrade to a DS Lite aswell if the DSi makes them cheaper, then I can play it on a brighter screen.

Akeraz March 21st, 2009 8:47 AM

Im quizzing it over atm.
I'm deciding wether to import platinum or get Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
It's a tough choice >_<.

spike6958 March 21st, 2009 11:03 AM

I got my copy yesterday, my friend owns his own game shop in London and imported them direct from NoA im not too far though but im enjoying it so far.

Rokusasu March 21st, 2009 7:57 PM

I'm definitely importing as soon as I can- I did the same with Diamond, and I got it a lot cheaper than what it was priced when it came out over here two or three months after. ^_^

mervyn797 March 21st, 2009 11:10 PM

hey, i live in India and my friend and I are such big fans of pokemon that we imported pokemon platinum (japanese) and now now english one from US.

Kim Do-yeon March 22nd, 2009 1:22 AM

I had confirmation that my copy is on its way and it got got shipped two days before its release date which is cool so it should arrive mid next week.

THIRTY-SIX March 22nd, 2009 1:35 AM

I could ask my brother to get it when he goes on holiday to America. I don't particularly care if he gets it or not really. He might be embarrassed to get it while with his mates probably. I'm in no rush to get it actually.

Rokusasu March 22nd, 2009 7:01 AM

I'm placing my import order right now. XD Should hopefully have it mid-next week, which is better than having to wait until May. D:

Kim Do-yeon March 22nd, 2009 2:52 PM

I am happy I have confirmation that it has arrived in the UK and should arrive at my front door tomorrow yay.

Zebeedoo March 22nd, 2009 2:55 PM

I'm in the UK too,my mum ordered Platinum for me off Ebay. It's from Hong Kong though,so it may take a few weeks to get here,I can wait though. ^^

Glaceon_ March 24th, 2009 5:38 AM

I'm not importing it, but its highly likely that I'll be getting an American version soon. A local store usually imports the games once they're out in the US, but at the moment, all I see in that store are pre-order flyers. It'll likely be in-store, if they plan on ordering some from the US, sometime next week.

Despite the fact that I have the Japanese version, I still want an English version. So I'll probably end up with three Platinum games, once it is officially released in the UK. XD

Mr Briney March 24th, 2009 6:07 AM

I havent imported it yet, but will be soon. Didnt really feel the need to preorder it cos ive already got the figure from my Japenese version ^^

PokéMartin April 3rd, 2009 6:36 AM

I know alot of you had it imported, but is anyone else getting a bit annoyed having to wait until May?
I want the Strategy Guide and the pre-order Giratina model!

RulerZero April 3rd, 2009 9:22 AM

when does it actually come out in the UK and is it any good?

THIRTY-SIX April 3rd, 2009 9:24 AM

According to Game.co.uk… it's the 22nd of May 09.
For me the gameplay would be the same.

Jorah April 3rd, 2009 11:16 AM

I still can't decide whether I should even bother getting Platinum. I probably will...I'll just pre-order next week, probably.

Rokusasu April 3rd, 2009 4:43 PM

My Platinum arrived on April Fool's Day, so I've been playing it the past three days, and you do notice the differences, even though many of them are subtle.

Anyone else see the GAME ad for Platinum today? o: I'm surprised that they're giving away the figurine, after all, it is the UK. XD

Mimikyu402 April 4th, 2009 1:49 AM

Im Right now prepering my emerald game for pokes to clone and send to DP then make theire moves better and putting them in my to Platinum box , I really hope that platinum will be out at 22 of may and that they dont put the release further ahead like they did with DP,

Jas_66 April 4th, 2009 8:01 AM

i caint wait 2 get it i saw some videos of platnuim on youtube and think its great i cant wait for the new featrues like wi-fi terminal and stuff like that.

Akeraz April 4th, 2009 10:31 AM

Some people here might be Jealous..
But I got my american copy of Platinum on Import today.

I've only played for 3 hours, but I'm already noting all the small changes.
And I have to say, I rather Like.
Also, the AI has been vastly improved.
I actually struggled to beat Barry using only my starter.
But, platinum is awesome.
