Yup I play Platinium Still everynow And then,One of the better one's if you ask me!
Maby I can help you to trade pokemon's

Hiatus March 28th, 2014 2:08 PM

I don't play them anymore, unfortunately. :( Online services for DS generations of games are also going to be cancelled on May, so you could no longer trade Pokémon within games like D/P/Pt. When this happens, I'm sure a lot more people would stop playing.

Schizii March 28th, 2014 2:56 PM

I don't play avidly, no. :c
And just like Peitharchia said, online services are going to be cancelled in just about a month. vnv

Pillodox March 28th, 2014 4:24 PM

Made a pearl file a month ago, but haven't really used it

curiousnathan March 28th, 2014 9:59 PM

I pick up the games every now and then, but I don't play them as regularly as I used to.

Also just a heads up, quick trade requests belong over here.

MeetMeInUtopia March 30th, 2014 10:39 AM

I would finish it but I think I want to finish up X first haha. The new mechanics are very appealing. I think one day I will finish Platinum and HeartGold

Natnew March 31st, 2014 2:35 PM

all I have is 4th gen (and X...) so naturally I play it a lot (mostly pearl, though I just got soulsilver literally days ago)

Meksal March 31st, 2014 3:44 PM

Pearl was my first pokemon game, every time I open it I get shot across the room by a sudden blast of nostalgia :)

Trainer VyNk March 31st, 2014 4:01 PM

Sorry if this goes too off-topic.

My Parents didn't allowed me to have DS or 3DS, 'cause I got sick just before my exams because of playing emerald late night, (fever) so I was forced to study, after that I got my Android tab (Internet's lame) so I never played only wished to have Platinum :( though you can trade on Trade Corner
which you can find on index.

sweets March 31st, 2014 9:47 PM

I was actually just playing HeartGold! I'm currently training my shiny wooper n_n

Venitardus April 2nd, 2014 7:53 AM

I'm playing through my Soul Silver, Diamond and Platinum.

Kikaito plush April 3rd, 2014 7:30 AM

I am still playing playing pokemon pearl

Monophobia April 3rd, 2014 7:39 AM

Play Platinum every day. Nostalgia FTW.

Pendraflare April 3rd, 2014 9:13 AM

I still have both my copies of Platinum with me, and while I don't play my main one often, I do have my other one that I occasionally play challenges on. But my Pearl is still my longest time logged, with over 440 hours even though I haven't really touched it in a while.

-Circa- April 3rd, 2014 7:38 PM

I'm playing Diamond right now. This is the first time I've played Generation 4, past Generation 3. Though I'm playing on OpenEmu.

Talon Flare April 4th, 2014 3:21 PM

I'm playing Pokemon Diamond right now, I feel nostalgic and it remind me a lot of Emerald as well

I check the name and it said Ethan. I like to name my character after the anime counterparts. I checked the box and all legends were caught. I said wow this guy does a great job like me. At that moment it occured to me that person was myself. After 2 years after selling it it returned to me intact. It apparently was 2 years without use in a gamestop storage. It saved me the trouble of playing through it just to catch Kyogre. So i just played soulsilver becausethe work was done in heartgold.

Lol wow. That is amazing. The type of thing that generally happens when one is dreaming. Or at least, that sort of thing happens a lot in my dreams.



But as to the topic, the main game that I play is HG. I picked it up last summer when I bought my first DS system - DS Lite, of course. I'm at 283 hrs of playtime, 175 pokemon caught using pokeballs, 322 eggs hatched (proud of that one), and 4237 pokemon defeated.

It's really unfortunate that Nintendo is discontinuing wifi services for the DS. Of course, it's not like I would have been able get event pokes or anything since I don't have BW2 or the new games, but I still enjoy trading and battling. But, it's not all bad news. There are already non-Nintendo servers up and running that can be used for trades and battles. I don't expect that they would shut down, though they might try to start charging people for their services. Sometimes capitalism makes me ugh.

I've got a copy of Diamond en route to my place, should be here early next week. Pretty stoked about that since I've never been to the Sinnoh region. Next I plan to purchase a Japanese Platinum cart, so that I can trade over pokes to HG for MM-ing :D At that point, I'll be using Diamond strictly for challenge runs. Oh, I've got such poke-plans for gen IV.

LetsPlayALoveGame April 30th, 2014 9:32 AM

I stuck with 4th gen until XY came out because I didn't like 5th gen's metagame. I have so many fond memories of the hundreds of battles I had on Pt and HG. A shame it's being shut down now.

pokemonbeauty May 1st, 2014 5:02 PM

I am playing HeartGold and Pearl. Let me know if I can help you out :)

YungKnowledge May 1st, 2014 5:20 PM

I'm still playing I just restarted my game because I didn't have a clue where I was before. But I still have Black and Soul Silver to finish up.

acatfrommars May 1st, 2014 7:25 PM

I was devastated when I heard that Nintendo would be cancelling their wifi services on May 20th. Not only would this mean no more Pokemon earlier than Gen. 6, but games like Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Animal Crossing: City Folk, not being able to play online with friends anymore. That's really disheartening, especially when we've all grown up with these titles.

I haven't been playing Generation 4 lately. After exams, I plan to play through Pearl again. I'm about to start on the Gym Leader challenge for Black 2.

Aquali Umiko May 1st, 2014 7:55 PM

I feel like I'll never get tired of the games. Sure, there are times where I don't play them, but I'll never truly get tired of them. At least not right now. They were, and always have been a point of happiness for me throughout my life. Got me through some real tough patches in my life and may get me through a few more.

As for me, I'm playing the trio of Diamond/Platinum/HeartGold.

Khoshi May 8th, 2014 4:50 AM

I don't have my DS any more, so I keep my games within emulators. It's...not the same, but close enough! I played Platinum and only gave up when I was forever trapped within the Elite Four, unwilling to lose against Lucian. The sad thing is as I was cleaning out my files, I deleted my emulator, Platinum ROM and save, so that's forever lost. :(

I still have an undying love for the Fourth Generation. It's a shame that my DS broke. :\

Buy a new one :D
They are cheap online, I got mine for like 54$

Definitely worth it!

acatfrommars May 8th, 2014 10:28 PM

Yes, just started my adventure in Generation 4 tonight. I'm completing it for my Ultimate Water Monotype challenge. I beat Sapphire today, and am at Floaroma town right now. Since I had a water type, Roark was easy. Prinplup swept his entire team with ease, the only minor problem we had was with Cranidos. However, Gardenia's gym in Eterna City will be a bit tougher. She's the grass Pokemon gym leader, and I will have to utilize Prinplup's peck to hopefully get through that.

curiousnathan May 9th, 2014 5:05 PM

Nope. :(

I haven't played a 4th Generation game for I'd think around a year or so.

Pepperton June 1st, 2014 10:16 AM

I started a Nuzlocke challenge in SoulSilver a few months ago, but haven't gotten past the fifth gym leader. With X and Y's release, I've been caught up playing it all the time, so all of my other Pokemon games have not gotten much attention, haha. Doubt that I'll pick up DPPt anytime soon, either. d:

Arlo June 1st, 2014 3:27 PM

Sure - I'm playing.

I just finished a challenge in HG, and that's probably going to be the last time I play either of the Johto games, just because I simply don't enjoy them. But I just started my third playthrough of Diamond a week or so ago and have a longstanding Platinum post-game I still play from time to time. At some point, I'll certainly trade the good stuff out of Platinum and restart it again, and that'll be my third time through it.

Candy June 1st, 2014 3:28 PM

Platinum and HGSS are one of my favorite games, so I replay them a lot.

Although if I want to Soft Reset for shiny hunting, I have to do it through an emulator since all of my DSL's L buttons are busted and... I don't have a real cartridge 'til gen 6 came along.

Seven kyuun June 2nd, 2014 4:02 AM

Pearl was my first and my introduction to the pokemon games. Also, I doubt I'll ever get my hands on recent pokemon games and consoles though I really wanna try X and Y ;w; so I'll forever be stuck with Pearl. Never said I didn't like it though! :3

Why not?
Im playing platinum currently ^^

Seven kyuun June 2nd, 2014 2:37 PM

Well, I'm still in school and too lazy to get a job. Also, I don't like pestering my parents to buy new games so I can survive without. For now... I'll definitely go for other games when I can though.

Hero of Twilight June 2nd, 2014 3:57 PM

since fourth gen was my first game, i have a special place in my heart for Sinnoh

i want to still play this game, but i don't have the game anymore :(

Ingosmex June 27th, 2014 7:39 PM

I would love to still play 4th gen competitively, however the pokemon scene has changed now and nobody really plays gen 4 anymore.

Amore June 28th, 2014 7:20 AM

Yeah I still play Gen IV from time to time...I'm currently averaging two pokémon games per year :P

Up until a few days ago Black was my most current game (now have Black 2 also) so there wasn't much of a way of choice...

Jaysfinest1 June 29th, 2014 12:17 AM

i actually just restarted my heart gold. i'm on to the point where i want to catch all the annoying legendaries (got entei, latios, and one more to go.. annoying bastards).

my lineup is

archanine
hitmonchan (favorite)
lanturn
nidoqueen
forteress
gengar

starseed galaxy auticorn July 5th, 2014 5:05 PM

Yep. :D I've been playing for the past week or so. Soul Silver is one of my top favorite pokemon games to play. I've always been really fond of it.

Unfortunately, I don't have mine connected because of Nintendo shutting down the servers for it. I also never really had it connected since my wifi is locked and wouldn't let me get on my internet or whatever. =.= I just play it like I play any of my pokemon games. XD

My team is:

Noctowl//Ten
Vileplume//Odette
Typhlosion//Azula (named after my bf. <3)
Azumarril//Pikablu
Raichu//Thor
Gabite//Gibbler

Sheep July 12th, 2014 2:21 PM

I'm dying to play through Platinum again. ;_; But right now, no, I'm not. I started an unevolved challenge in HG/SS a year back but got stuck on Clair and haven't touched it since.. last summer probably haha.

But now nostalgia's kicking in and I want Platinum again. Don't have my copy anymore so that desire won't be satisfied for a while. ]: I've plans to use underrated Pokemon and perhaps try it as a nuzlocke so that makes things all the more exciting!

Braxien July 12th, 2014 2:59 PM

Similar to Sheep who posted above, I'm desperate to play Platinum again. It is probably one of my favourite Pokémon games of all time, alongside Emerald, HGSS and BW2. However, I do want to finish XY first and I have a lot of work for school and ... I basically just have a lot of things to do. In the Summer, when I have no schoolwork or poop like that, I'll happily play Pokémon all day, all night. :)

Charizard17 July 12th, 2014 4:55 PM

Yes- I still play Gen IV quite often- even more often than Gens V and VI

Aslan July 12th, 2014 9:48 PM

I still play HG/SS from time to time when I have a chance. I usually end up just catching a few Pokemon and rebattling the E4, nothing special. On the other hand, I've lost my DS card for Platinum. Platinum was my first Pokemon game so its pretty sad that I've lost it somewhere. :/

Emulators always work but its not the same thing so I don't play D/P/Pt anymore. Maybe I'll revisit them later but for now I'm good with HG/SS. :p

Dreg July 14th, 2014 1:09 AM

I'm still playing Diamond right now, and hoping that someday I can transfer the shinies over to B&W then X & Y. Could take a while.

Altairis July 15th, 2014 7:47 AM

Yeah, I'm playing through a Kanto and Johto Pokemon only playthrough of Pokemon SoulSilver! Granted, I don't really like my team that much, but I'm determined to finish the game with these 6, even though it's taking me longer than usual
