Yeah, I was under leveled for most of the major battles too, especially Cynthia. Though I was able to pull through the E4 thanks to type advantages and a crap load of full restores and revives.

JustinDestruction June 21st, 2009 10:50 PM

Yeah, it bothered me a bit. I like seeing things in order, so it was a slight OCD moment for me.

Camisado June 21st, 2009 10:53 PM

I didn't have any problems with Fantina in Platinum at all ._.;; I beat her on my first attempt - she caused me more problems in Diamond and Pearl.

Pokedex filling, and the pleasure of knowing that you have a non-hacked Pokemon that can pwn. :)

Fantina is actually the third gym leader?!?!?!?!? I just discovered that O_o After i beat her yesterday i thought i missed 2 gyms accidentally lol and Im stuck at that part right now ^_^

i think the most annoying part of platinum is all the fricken talking like it is ok the first time you play but i think the talking is about twice as much as in diamond and pearl i just think they went over board

I prefer battling with Pokémon that I've raised throughout the game, and I know I can't be bothered to level Giratina up to the level of the others now xD

Is it bad that I don't really bother with filling the Pokédex? I mean, I SEE them all, but I don't particularly want to catch them all.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I feel kind of cheap using legendaries in battles, especially against an actual person, and I've never filled completely filled up the pokedex in any of the games, and I've been playing since R/B/Y.

That was annoying, but it frustrated me a lot less than stupid Mt. Coronet. I hate that place.-___-

So what do you think about having the 5th gym leader first? I found that very annoying, spent a couple of hours trying to get to route 209, but then figured out that Fantina was third. How. Annoying. :(

In all honesty, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I swear, I have so much of a hard time beating her... in Diamond/Pearl, it was so easy to level up too but in Platinum, I pretty much DREAD going to beat her because it's...ugh.

Wait... are you talking about Fatina...?

AGREED! I found it so hard to navigate the first time, and its just not fun! :(

Till now, the only thing that annoys me in Platinum is that the Gym Leaders are a little harder than in Diamond/Pearl. It's not much harder, but enough to make me lose from them, while I beat Diamond with only losing from the E4 a few times.

... anyone else agree that this is REALLY ANNOYING??? I had all my Pokes on equal levels except for my Torterra which was about 5 levels above. Then I went up against Wake and against all odds his freakin' Floatzel Ko'd my strongest Poke!! I had to restart the game from the Lakeside Hotel so I could put all those EXP that I evenly divided between all my pokes into my Torterra to beef him up, so that he actually stood a fighting chance! So bloody annoying!!!

I didn't think that was annoying at all. In fact, I thought of it more as a challenge. We see harder gyms, we train harder so we can make out Pokemon better overall. Not everything that's harder is necessarily annoying, they're just more of a challenge.

The only thing I found hard was the Distortion World. It was a really difficult maze to navigate through and most of it took me a long time.

billa June 23rd, 2009 10:13 PM

i found platinum alot easyer than diamond and didn't get stuck as much.

I agree that it's more challenging, and thus more fun and better. But it's just plain annoying that I have to train more than normal.

....No wait, I never really trained that much, this is the first Pokemon game I actually have to train hard!

dtrain24 June 24th, 2009 1:04 PM

Its better in Platinum, less confusing and a bit easier.

salmence33 June 24th, 2009 2:58 PM

It is annoying since you don't have acess to a lot of pokemon

SylentEcho June 25th, 2009 1:24 AM

+1.

Threre are hardly any Pokemon from Kanto and Jhoto. It gets kind of annoying at times because the old Pokemon kicked ass.

thorn96 June 25th, 2009 1:50 AM

............................ okay, new thing. Has anyone noticed that Giratina is IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH?! I've failed about 7 times! ARRRGGGHHH!!!!! How do you do that without a masterball?!

Munch Dog June 25th, 2009 7:20 AM

Yeah I know... I already talked about my troubles with giratina somewhere in this thread so I don't think I should post it again.

Yeah, I know. I caught him eventually, but it took forever, and I thought I was gonna run out of balls. Now off to pwn Sunyshore...

Foxnordic June 26th, 2009 10:02 AM

cynthia was the worst in pearl, it took me about a 45 min battle to defeat her (it was very intense)

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ June 27th, 2009 7:56 AM

It was the Distortion World for me, it was confusion even with the guide book. It was also random that my Shuppet's egg hatched in their as well and I named it Distortion

The most annoying part in platinum was that the new pokedex you have to get 210 pokemon (or seen)
I found it pretty hard in pearl to get 150 to get to the survival zone.
