Preperations For Platinum
 
If Your Doing any what are they?

Mine Were: ((Yay I got Done Yesterday)):cer_boogie:
  • Get All Pokemon To Lv.50 At least. ((Omg that took Soo Long:cer_pissed:))
  • Make sure moves are exceptible.
  • Give a Item to every pokemon ((Sea Incence to Kyogre, Ect..))
  • Get All Lengendarys ((Excluding Arceus)) Through GTS, or Trading Events
  • Breed A Bunch of Pokemon
  • Get all Item Trade Evolution Evolved. ((Seadra @ DragonScale+Trade=Kindra))
  • Obtain All Pokemon Unavalible in Platinum
Well It took awhile, but I think it'll be worth it..

So What Did You/Have You/Going to Do?

Haza March 21st, 2009 5:52 AM

All I have left to just transfer them all. Mainly just my EVd Pokemon. I may just leave all my breeding Pokemon on Pearl and Diamond as storage. I really didnt have to prepare other than cloning Rotoms with a good nature since I want on on a future team(Mow and Frost Forms!)

Lycaeus March 21st, 2009 5:59 AM

I put together all the Pokes I wanna transfer in one box. It should only take like a hour or so to transfer them all. I plan on using Diamond to do monotype challenges now and stuff like that :D

PlatinumDawnFtw March 21st, 2009 6:13 AM

Yep. I've already got my event shaymin (btw it has perfect sp attack and almost perfect speed = ownage in sky form) and my event regigigas (he has perfect special attack too, too bad his sp attack SUCKS!). And I'm transfering my shinies to platinum too.

Yukiiye March 21st, 2009 6:20 AM

I have until tomorrow too:

- Raise all pokemon level 50 and Higher (Almost done...)
- Attach items to them all
- Prepare my starter Pikachu egg with Volt tackle (Working on the breeding ..)
- Collect all Legendaries (Need Legendary birds still, wont take long to get. Same with Mewtwo)
- Collect any last favourites I don't already have, which I think I have them all now.
- Oh and prepare my Contest Group to be sent over as well.

:)

Lana. March 21st, 2009 6:30 AM

Gahh. Too much left o_0
Get all of the eeveelutions with decent natures (I have five left to get...)
Get TMs (Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, moves like that) in Emerald and Fire Red since I kind of wasted them in Diamond.
Get through Emerald and save any useful items and capture any interesting Pokemon to transfer over with my items.
Same with Fire Red...

And all of this is okay, seeing as there's a good chance I won't be getting Platinum 'til my birthday...

Kayin March 21st, 2009 8:53 AM

I've just done a little bit of training with my current pokemon team. I'm also trying to figure out what I'm going to switch out for my main team with my legendaries. I will only be using legendaries if my opponent is using them as well.

Kokuo March 21st, 2009 9:31 AM

I made a bunch of eggs for pokemon I'm too lazy to look for, like Feebass.

Nnoitra Jiruga March 21st, 2009 9:34 AM

I'm probably going to transfer. Transferring takes 2 DS's...right?

Designation_Leader March 21st, 2009 10:02 AM

I may:

-Transfer all legendaries (RIP Diamond and Pearl)
-Transfer all shinies
-Transfer all starter eggs (took FOREVER to get all 12!)
-Transfer a Lucky Egg or two.
-Transfer hacked Pokemon for Battle Frontier. (BTW, those Pokemon are for battling local only. I don't cheat and use them on WiFi/)
-And other stuff

All in all, I am about...70% done prepping. But I'm not going to transfer until afterwards. Well, it depends if I get the Gracidea Flower before or after E4. If so, then I am SO transferring.

Cyntric March 21st, 2009 10:18 AM

i will just play the game and beat it no preps really.

TwilightBlade March 21st, 2009 10:34 AM

I'm not transferring my trade fodder over to Platinum, but I have other small things to do by tomorrow or eventually.

In game team

- Dump starter, lol

Possible Wifi team candidates
- Breed Scyther
- Breed Gliscor
- Breed Togekiss
- Breed Typhlosion
- EV train Gyarados
- EV train Azumarill

- Nickname Lucario
- Train Metagross
- Tutor Kingdra

Amaruuk March 21st, 2009 10:55 AM

I'm still plodding along with Pokedex completion (about 80% done), but I know I have all the ones I'm gonna actually use, so no rush.

I need to figure out whether I should borrow my friend's DS (though she's hardly ever available), or be patient and wait to transfer until I can get a DSi, and since my car's in the repair shop, find someone to take me to GameStop tomorrow.

I also need to pick out/breed/name Pokemon for my team(s) and figure out what the heck I'm gonna name my trainer, since I don't wanna use the same name as any of my other games, and I'm out of good ideas.

BrandoSheriff March 21st, 2009 10:57 AM

I've pretty much done what I needed to do already before I go pick up my pre-ordered copy of Platinum tomorrow. I've already:
  • Gotten and trained my event Shaymin (it has really good Sp. Attack and Speed!)
  • Got event Regigigas (Adamant natured)
  • Got together all Pokémon I'm trading to my Platinum when I beat it and get the Nat. Dex
  • Gotten all TMs, just in case my army might need them

I have until "the big day" to/to finish:
  • Attach items to them that I think would be useful
  • (Possibly) breed/clone a Rotom
  • Read everything I have on Platinum (again...), including Serebii, Nintendo Power, some Wikis, and the official site
  • Run through Sinnoh in my Pearl (u know... last memories)

Since I'll have Platinum, I probably won't be playing Pearl much, unless it's to transfer more Pokémon, or for old time's sake. Wish I lived in New York though, so I could go to the Platinum launch party today. I bet those lucky people are going to laugh it up just because they got it one day earlier. So, as you can see, I have a bunch left to do. But all of those except the last two are things I might or might not do. Basically, I'm ready for Platinum.

gigabyte8877 March 21st, 2009 11:27 AM

I like seeing what peoples are doing cause, then It might remind me that I should do that.. =)

Haza March 21st, 2009 2:10 PM

Ha ha! I got my Platinum early! I kinda sold myself for it! Lol Im transfering now but Im not using them. got the new wallpapers too.

jblaze31 March 21st, 2009 10:53 PM

im breeding my dragonite charizard salamence milotic pidgeot and meganium so i can transfer the lv 1's

Cyber_Sword March 22nd, 2009 12:14 AM

I suppose in a way I can't prep because my DS is broken.

World King March 22nd, 2009 12:21 AM

Well, since Platinum's gonna be my main Battle Version, with the VS Recorder and all, the only thing I'm transfering from my Pearl are my battle Pokémon such as EV-Trained ones, good-natured UT Pokémon to train, and Greatly-IVed Pokémon, as well. Pearl's only use now is being a home to all my Events, Shinies and rare Legendaries I've managed to get my hands on, so that it isn't so forgotten. Platinum PWNs!

BHwolfgang March 22nd, 2009 8:45 AM

Bleh, I won't be getting Platinum. Not right now, not in a long time.

If I could, though, then I would just train most of my Pokémon to level 100.

The Ebon Blade March 22nd, 2009 8:46 AM

Oh yeah! I speant three months going through all the other games and catching as many pokemon as possible.

M O M U S U March 22nd, 2009 9:31 AM

Well, after I beat the Elite4, I'll transfer almost all my Pokemon from Emerald, but until then...
  • Raise all main Pokemon to lvl. 50 at least
  • Attach fitting items to all
  • Complete at least one Master Rank Super Contest (speaking of, what is the best Pokemon for Platinum contests?)
  • Try not to keep more than one legendary in my main teams
  • Complete all item/trade evolutions
  • Buy all Resort House items
  • Trade event Shaymin and Regigigas (get Gracidea Flower)
That's all, but it sure will take me awhile for sure. after that, I'll probably try to complete every single sidequest... ugghhh...
