Platinum worth it?
 
Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been here, life really knows how to get in the way :P

I've decided to start adventuring in the Sinnoh region after trying out my brothers Diamond version. I might be getting Platinum some time this week. I would like to hear your opinions on it. I don't want to hear anyone saying "it sucks" or any thing of the kind without a reason. I understand that it's your opinion, but at least have some decency to explain why a certain feature "sucks".

Thanks!

Oh this game is way better than diamond and pearl alot funner 2 so many new cool features

Aether August 30th, 2009 6:57 PM

Yes, definitely worth it. It's miles better than D/P Imo. It runs smoother, and battles don't feel as clunky.

Jukain-Arashi August 30th, 2009 7:03 PM

Thanks for the replies guys. There's just something about Sinnoh that feels odd. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed. I've been playing since Johto and I'm really use to surfing a long distance to get to certain places. When I played Diamond, I noticed that surfing was rarely needed. Also, Mt. Coronet splitting the region into to sides (East and West) makes it feel odd. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this and felt odd at first. It may be just that I haven't kept up with the show since Hoenn ended.

Well if you liked Emerald and Crystal,you'll be gauranteed to like Platinum. Platinum has extra features then Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The story is changed and based on the Legendary Pokemon Giratina other then Dialga and Palkia. It is odd, because I didn't like it much at first,but you'll get used to it. (:

Thanks Logiedan! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'll pick it up sometime this week before school starts and try to get past the Elites ASAP so I can get my Darkrai :D

I never was interested in Sinnoh until I watched the Rise of Darkrai. It's amazing how a single movie can revive my passion for Pokemon. :P Okay, I'm just rambling now. Thanks everyone! :)

Battle. Frontier.
New. Features.
Better. Graphics.
Better. Pokemon. Sprites.

Enough said.
Platinum is a lot better than D/P.

But if you really want a lot of fun and features, wait for HG/SS.

Tofuu August 30th, 2009 7:39 PM

Yeah, I definitely worth it :).
It has a lot more cooler features then Diamond and Pearl.
The Wi-Fi Plaza is fun. Especially when your bored xD.
The Global Treminal is cooler. There is more things to do in there.
I also love the fact that on the Poketech's button can go up and down. It was really annoying when it just went one way.. lol.
There's more but, I can't remember xD. So.. Yeah. I think it's cooler. =D

Jukain-Arashi August 30th, 2009 7:41 PM

Thanks for you opinion! I'm definitely going to get Platinum. But mainly because I want to keep up with my brothers, who seem to love Sinnoh. I'm more attached to Hoenn, but it'll grow on me.

Tudj August 30th, 2009 10:26 PM

Its worth getting, but theres obviously too many resemblances to Diamond/Pearl, and the only thing new is the features (etc-Giratina, tiles)

Polizard August 31st, 2009 12:05 AM

Well if u already have a diamond or pearl i would not say it is a necessity, but i would get it. it is a great game and has a lot more extra features

ACE9 August 31st, 2009 12:11 AM

I prefer it over diamond/pearl
and the battle frontier is fun(mainly battle tower/battle factory/battle arcade)
and the ability to rebattle gym leaders/elite four at higher levels is good
oh, and the sprites are better

loucas August 31st, 2009 12:19 AM

yep platinum is much better. the battle spd is faster that DandP

shauwk August 31st, 2009 12:47 AM

Yes if you havent played pearl or diamond. Its pretty much the exact same thing except some new features like wifi mini games, and those features arent really that great so in my opinion i dont think its worth it if you have already played diamomd or pearl. I stopped playing platinum when i reached solaceon town because i got bored since it was so repetitive cuz i already played pearl... But most of the new stuff is farther in the game so i need to play it more someday

Yes, Platinum is worth it. But unfortunately, this thread won't generate the type of discussion we're aiming for in this forum.
