First Impressions of Platinum
 
So, many of you have gotten Platinum today, but I'm sure you haven't gotten very far in the plot. So how are your first impressions of Platinum? Is it all you expected it to be? What are some cool things you've found so far, and are there any let-downs?

I'll edit this post when I get the game at noon (GRRR).

mStar March 22nd, 2009 5:39 AM

I didnt get mine yet. But, I'll post as soon as I get it.

drifl00n March 22nd, 2009 8:55 AM

i just got it a half hour ago, i just started playing like 5 minutes ago and i love it already.

Return TM in the beginning = Win

And the battle GUI has been nicely updated.

Oh, and SNOW!

Yamikarasu March 22nd, 2009 9:01 AM

I'm liking it. Like every single other Pokemon game, it is very similar. However, it does have many minor tweaks that just multiply together to make the game very fun. For example, Prof. Rowan giving you the Return TM at the very beginning.

revelp8 March 22nd, 2009 9:07 AM

yup. that return TM will be useful later on in the game.

Spoiler:
I was sort of let down with Mr. Handsome's name being Looker now.

BHwolfgang March 22nd, 2009 9:08 AM

My friend just started it and it looks alright. It's almost like any other game.

I'll be waiting for her to make it to the Distortion World. I want to see that!

Ryuzaki_Lawliet March 22nd, 2009 9:08 AM

kingofjokers March 22nd, 2009 9:29 AM

¤魔法使いのAdaのきれいなキー¤ says (12:45 PM):
WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE A ROOM MAKEOVER BUT ME!? D=


yup, that's what I thought xD


Pearl has Chimchar...: That Monkey dance. how appropriate. xD

ClassicRockFan March 22nd, 2009 9:45 AM

I found that Bidoof looked uglier than I remembered.

But other than that, Platinum has felt great. (At least, once I got the running shoes)

Keyaki March 22nd, 2009 9:52 AM

just got mine like an hour after Gamestop opened

Total Awesomeness, although i haven't gotten to Oreburgh yet, i keep having to restart because my Chimchar keeps getting the wrong Nature

Did you not like....see the commercial?

Ryuzaki_Lawliet March 22nd, 2009 9:52 AM

I got Platinum. I am starting a new file soon cuz I have to go eat... I will post back Later!

System! March 22nd, 2009 9:52 AM

I don't have it but my brother's friend does. Quite cool. He also got the Giratina statue--a lot smaller than I thought. :(

I'm SO saving my money for this game.

Spoiler:

I was watching him play it and apparently you encounter Cyrus early in the game. I was all "ZOMG IT'S MILEY CYRUS!"

Kayin March 22nd, 2009 9:54 AM

Looks great so far. I like the trainer sprites better than in Pearl. :)

Azonic March 22nd, 2009 10:09 AM

I didn't get mine yet, but my impressions from the advertisements were that it would be pretty damn awesome. :B

Game Over1375 March 22nd, 2009 10:14 AM

Got it about twenty minutes to go. Impressions, I LOVE IT!

Lightey March 22nd, 2009 10:23 AM

I got it, and I love it.. But my DS got on red, so I need to find the charger. :(

mStar March 22nd, 2009 10:33 AM

Platinum is most certainly updated. I'm so in love wit it<3.

Lycaeus March 22nd, 2009 10:36 AM

Got it around noon, and started playing like 130.
I'm currently at the Oreburgh Gym, about to take it on ^^
I love it so far, everything seems much..idk cleaner

EDIT;
And Romeo (my Chimchar) just evolved :D

EDIT 2;
Just got Oreburgh's Badge (:

Mr. Epic March 22nd, 2009 10:36 AM

I just got it right now and will be playing my way through tonight.
I'm pretty damn exited.

Man of Faith March 22nd, 2009 10:51 AM

I have to wait 'til tomorrow 'cause the store I go to SUCKS.

I ARE ANGREH!

But it looks like it'll be awesome...

Melodyfree March 22nd, 2009 10:57 AM

Played it. Loved it. The distortion world gives the word distortion a whole new meaning.
Seriously. Took me like an hour to navigate it the first time around.

Netto Azure March 22nd, 2009 11:05 AM

I'll post my comments once I start playing it. I don't have time for it right now. D:

CrystalFlow March 22nd, 2009 11:11 AM

Just got it enjoying the small stuff so far can't wait to get farther in the game. =)
