The Point?
I am kinda confused as to what the point to playing Diamond/Pearl is now...
I see the point to playing the older GBA games (FR/LG/R/S) because you are able to transfer Pokemon via Pal park. But what is the point to playing Diamond/Pearl as you can't transfer all your hard trained Pokemon to Platinum. So all those hours put into Diamond/Pearl is now useless? Having two DS's to trade with is not something most people have. So leading to the next question...what will be the point of playing Platnium when the next Pokemon game for the DS comes out? It's all the "Pokemon" series...shoulden't there be a way to transfer items/pokemon (without two DS's) so you don't feel as if you wasted time in the previous game...which is how I feel about my countless hours on Diamond... |
There are several pokemon you can only catch in D/P.
Many generous people here will do trade-backs so you can trade your pokes to Platinum. I mean, what's the fun of playing any older game? Nostalgia, different aspects that work better in the older games? There are a lot of reasons to play older games. |
Is there supposed to be a point to playing DPP?
Playing the GBA games just so you can transfer pokemon? |
Well, most video game sequels work that way. You lose all of your hard-worked hours of playtime and start off as a sucky-ish character. If you got to transfer all of your uber powerful items and abilities over, that kinda ruins the experience. If you feel that your countless hours playing video games were useless, then maybe you should find a new hobby. :/
Why should you still play Diamond/Pearl? Maybe you're not too into Pokemon and the basic experience will suffice. Maybe you don't want to shell out another 35 bucks for a game that is in essence exactly the same, or maybe that price is too steep for another go. Also, there was a two year difference from Emerald to D/P. Two years. That may not look like much, but it felt like an eternity to me. Emerald (and Trozei) sufficed my appetite for Pokemon during that time and I'm sure Platinum will do the same if not for longer. |
Jpp8 has a point
having a ultra powerful charcter with lv.100 ruins the game I enjoy starting out fresh beacuse it allows me to relive the adventure all over again, something that never gets old |
There's a thread that covers pretty much what you're wondering here. Please look around before posting.
