Hardest part of Platinum
 
Write down the hardest part of Pokemon Platinum so far.

So far, the grass Gym Leader (Eterna city?)

Gymnotide March 24th, 2009 7:53 PM

So far? I have trouble taking down wild Bibarel with most of my Pokemon (barring the two I don't want to train and the one that is only on my team for Cut - yes that means you, Budew :/)

It's not like Bronzor can't do it, but it takes so long because its Sp.ATK is so low >_<
Psyduck and Aipom get rolled. Aipom has a chance, but that requires lucky Fury Swipes XD

Cyntric March 24th, 2009 8:21 PM

so far for me there has been no hard part except preparing for the gyms and making sure you can take them in one try.

CrasH March 24th, 2009 9:26 PM

I'm not even to the third gym yet and I have a

level 32 prinplup
and a level 31 Ponyta.

I just caught a gligar that I'm going to level.

I spend WAYYY to much time leveling lol..
So, this game has been pretty easy thus far

The Kidd March 24th, 2009 9:32 PM

The only hard thing for me was the 4th Gym. The leader was easy it was just the punching bags and stuff trying to get to him. By the time I was in Eterna City my twig evolved to Torterra and it pwnd everything.
I've been playing for eight hours and I just got my 7th badge.

Kayin March 24th, 2009 9:33 PM

My Torterra has been taking them all down.(The gym leaders.) The pokemon that I'm temporarily using (Psyduck, Bibarel, Buneary) have all been taken down. I just got a Porygon though, that seems to do quite well.

Which Gym are you in?

My team consist of Torterra, the beast. Empoleon, the sidekick, and togepi, the healer, the others are just for HMs such as Machop and Staravia.

Kayin March 24th, 2009 10:51 PM

I just got my 5th badge. I'm moving slowly but surely. I plan on using Torterra as a substitute for one of the legendary pokemon in Pearl so I can battle online. I'm also going to use Tauros and Porygon to sub for the other two legendaries on my team. I will have some alternate pokemon too to switch out if necessary. :D

Phanima March 24th, 2009 11:12 PM

I just prized whatever badge you get from Wake (I refuse to call him Crasher...). So, the hardest part so far would probably be putting the game down.

Mitchman March 24th, 2009 11:17 PM

Hardest part has to be getting damn used to the fact that everyone can now put a scratch on you and make a dent in the road.

Shadow March 24th, 2009 11:19 PM

I'm on the ghost gym and Fantina. I don't have any good Pokemon for countering Ghosts yet, the best I have is Confusion spamming the Gastly/Haunter/Gengars and Rock Throw against the Drifloon/Driftblum. Nothing against those pesky Misdreavus/Mismagius, though. Might end up relying on Togetic's Metronome. Hope he doesn't Explosion again...

Xebelleon March 24th, 2009 11:52 PM

Waking up from Hypnosis.

The rate I get hit by it?
It's like total Galactic suckage.

AuraAshley March 25th, 2009 12:07 AM

is it me or is this game way harder then diamond/pearl?

my challenges are/were:
Eterna gym
great marsh
Cyrus @ celestic temple
Catching pokemon in general
wild pokemon battles ( a little more tougher then im used too)

"Shadow Lugia" March 25th, 2009 10:29 AM

The battle with Cyrus in the Distortion World was much more difficult than I expected.

I agree with you. But it took me about 5 minutes, since I kept using Bublebeam/Hydro Pump on all his Pokemon.

Working Class Hero March 25th, 2009 1:01 PM

Cyrus for sure. (I am not that far, but I used to have the JPN version.) Also, the frontier obviously.

Shem March 25th, 2009 1:03 PM

Hardest thing for me was catching Giratina, I finally got annoyed and used my master ball.

kingofjokers March 25th, 2009 1:17 PM

Hardest part so far... hmmm I am going to say crash the 5th gym i believe and btw I just beat the 7th gym wasn't so hard with my lvl 45 inferape now i think im just going to level up the rest of my team to 40 or 45 and move on to the galactic base.

Speed March 25th, 2009 1:29 PM

Fantina... I still haven't beat her. D<

Elite Champion March 25th, 2009 1:33 PM

hey did all of yous catch your gligars and porygons in the game or did you trade them through

Artemis March 25th, 2009 2:01 PM

For me the hardest thing so far was the beginning as like before in DP it was kinda long and made me a little bored...but I'm sure that'll change soon enough as I get farther into the game (I've only just gotten my first gym badge...xP)

Kokuo March 25th, 2009 5:42 PM

For me it was catching Giratina, without the Master Ball.
It took me like, an hour and a half because it kept running out of attacks and struggling itself to death, I finnaly got it after wasting like 30 Ultra Balls.

Man of Faith March 25th, 2009 7:59 PM

I'm only on Fantina, so not much has been hard. But every person who can keeps using Hypnosis. And it always hits! D<

Lt. Silver March 25th, 2009 8:02 PM

Poke_licious March 25th, 2009 8:05 PM
