I feel as though the problem with HG/SS wasn't so much that ITS A BAD GAME or whatever(i loved it), it's mostly for the fact that it didn't bring anything GROUND BREAKING or something that set the game apart from what we already have from the sinnoh games.
I mean, i LOVED my SS playthrough, and i actually couldn't stand my platinum story playthrough lol, but im trying to be unbiased here. They added little things into the game like pokemon following you, poke'athlon, pokewalker, you know, little things...but thats the problem with the game, they're just that, little things added, the gameplays the same as it was in sinnoh, you have access to 4th gen pokes as in sinnoh(some of which you can ONLY GET in sinnoh such as leafeon and magnezone if not i stand corrected...), theres a GTS, they changed the pc system to go from controller wise to stylus friendly(i personally liked it, but it WAS a big change and i'm not too sure if many people actually knew about that either before purchasing the game so it was kind of a let down in that department for some...) its stuff people already had in their other games. so yea, there's my two cents on the argument... |
Do you guys still play Platinum? Is it possible to battle someone from Heart Gold if your on Platinum?
|
When I played Pt, I was freakishly addicted, which surprised me because I dislike D/P. I dislike the entire Sinnoh region in general; it was too techy for me. I prefer the nature-filled Hoenn region or the history-filled Johto region, but I was willing to set my differences aside for Platinum, and I'm glad I did. I doubt I'll play it again, though, anytime soon.
However, I must admit, I like HG a lot more than Platinum. Maybe it's because I'm just too old school, I dunno. xD 25 hours in and nowhere near being done yet, I love it. |
i like soul silver better than platinum, but i guess that's pretty much because i really really enjoyed the original silver version, because of the 16 badges and all the space to explore. platinum of course has the cool giratina place... still! and yes you can still battle/trade anyone in diamond/pearl/platinum they just dont see the character as the one in HG/SS
|
SoulSilver>Diamond>Platinum. That is my opinion. |
I prefer Platinum, only because it's not a remake, but an expanded version.
|
I do an awful lot of breeding, so I naturally like HGSS better. The breeding mechanic is a lot easier to exploit for nature and IVs.
Plus, there is a lot more to do after the elite 4 |
I has HG and Platinum, i resetted my HG to play again. I liked Platinum, because i randomly bought it one day and didn't even know what the starters were! It was all new to me, the whole lot, and it felt a lot less *cough* like the little kid games. Note Platinum is rated PG and HG is just G. Hmm? Loved how giratina killed that guy heheheh. But with HG it was awesome. I used to have a Gameboy Advance with one of the old games but couldn't save it so never got very far. But i love having the new guys in Platinum, and i like the HG. But really i prefer Platinum. Can't even be bothered finishing HG for the second time.. Yawn.. Love Emerald too. But i don't have it yet.. :(

I like both (and own Both). I do prefer Heartgold, due to my liking of Gold. Sinnoh's not the best region, but it's still good enough for me. I also like Johto Pokemon better overall.
|
Pt.Well, I Don't Have HG/SS,But My Friend Is Annoyed You Can't Get Magnezone, The Best Pokemon (12 Resistances,Power)
|
@title: SoulSilver. XD
but seriously, I like HGSS better than Pt (i'm not even going to mention DP because they were just terrible) because there seems like there's a lot more to do in HGSS than in Pt. :) in johto, at least.. in kanto there's not much -.- |
Didn't play on HG/SS version.
But i had to say that some sprites in Platinum are horrible... And nostalgia factor from G/S will probably make me choose SS/HG if i played them : P |
It's a hard decision theyre both great games, but just for the great story line and 2 regions i'd have to say HG/SS.
|
I really don't think I can decide between the two. I'm going to say Platinum, though, not because HGSS was bad, but I think Platinum made me feel like a part of the game.
|
Platinum all the way. I spent 368+ hours of my life on that game before it got stolen :( and I plan on buying it again too.
|
i like HG better because i havent played in the johto region for a long long time and i like the johto pokemon more then anyother pokemon from different regions.
|
I would have to say HeartGold, since it's been so long that I wanted a Gold/Silver/Crystal remake, and I finally got it. Platinum, for me, was 'meh' at best. It's like, yeah, you've got new content, but everything's still the same, and to be honest, it didn't even add that much. At most, it completely shifted the competitive battling scene, with Bullet Punch Scizor, and the Rotom-A formes. Other than that, I felt that Platinum wasn't all there. I did like the new Battle Frontier though, especially Arcade Star Dahlia. That battle was awesome.
HeartGold on the other hand, brought whole new things to the table. You can walk around with your Pokemon, Routes and Trainers have been revamped, the Physical/Special split is now in effect, so you can finally use some of the old Pokemon you passed up the first time around, ect, ect. I felt that HeartGold was better. |
I loves Platinum many times and finish it! Then, I playing HG or SS for fun whatever is remakes from GSC version! :)

Platinum definitely lasts longer, but for me HeartGold was a sweeter ride. It has some nice moments, especially the parts involving Legendaries. I would have been happier if Mewtwo's cave could have been as epik as it was before, full of ~50 fully evolved Pokemon and Chansey. Levels were too low for my liking, but it's kinda more realistic. The Leaders were indeed stronger than normal trainers. I digress. I happened to like the touchscreen PC.
Here's something I think is funny- I saw a complaint here before HGSS was released saying that having the Legendary Pokemon as essentially a sidequest was a good thing, and that he didn't like Platinum for being so grandiose with the storyline. And then somebody in this topic says that Cyrus and the Legends made the story more satisfying. Platinum is good at giving you something to do, but HeartGold is still very nice, especially aesthetically. It also used the touchscreen properly. End post. |
I didn't enjoy Heart Gold. But Platinum I enjoyed.
|
I think Platinum is better. Platinum had epicness and huge replay value. (like villas, contests etc. :D) and there was towns that actually had a decent amount of things to do. Unlike HG/SS, there is not much to do in any of the towns. :(
And Platinum had badass starters. |
HEARTGOLD!!! it brings back memories and has many legendaries and cameos from other games. Johto, kanto and more to explore. YOU CAN CATCH MEWTWO!!! lol
platinum is awesome in its own ways too though |
I like Soul silver because of the partner pokemon following me and because of the pokeathlon.
