4th Gen What do you miss about DPPt?

I miss the Sky Pillar. Going up Mt. Coronet was amazing!

Also, about the Vs. Seeker, I really have no idea why they got rid of it in Platinum either. In my opinion, it was a very reasonable way to train your Pokémon.

I miss having the ability to rematch trainers in-game. If we're including HG/SS, I miss having my Sneasel follow me around. And, as much as I dislike Sinnoh, I think Platinum had one of the best regional 'dexes out there.

I also miss the ability to get a Gligar early in the game.

The music cuz to me D/P/PT were the last games to feature a really good soundtrack. I also miss the honey trees. I just liked them for some reason lol.

I miss the Battle frontier, Sinnoh underground, and some of the coolest cities like Snowpoint and Sunyshore and Hearthome. I've had some trouble living without the Poketch to use as a step counter, happiness checker, daycare egg watcher, and stats on your last received Pokemon and all sorts of widgets and things!

These games where masterpieces. This is my favorite generation in terms of Pokémon design, so I miss encountering all of the Shinx, Kricketot, and Starly right off the bat, and then better Pokémon later. I miss the new evolutions. I even miss the contests. The number one thing I miss about these games would be the wide variety of legendaries that could be captured. These games were full of legendaries to get, many after the game was completed.

Aw man, Pearl back in the day was AMAZING! 8D

So many legends in the post game to hunt down.... trainers to rebattle... the Poketch... CONTESTS. And breeding things to trade online and over the GTS...

and of course, the Casino! sad that we'll probably never see it again... >^<

I love things about Platinum that there isnt in other games.. I restarted the game years ago but have not gotten the chance to replay it! Pearl was my firsrt ds game i had ever gotten so it felt so cool to play through gen 4 on pearl with Shinx and my Piplup, and exploring a new world for the first time since emerald. i miss that adventurous feeling and i dont get that anymore when i play the newer games!

I missed only one thing in D\P\Pt. If it was a third person game. A little more graphiced and more well featured.

The thing I miss from D/P/PL is the contests

I miss going underground and digging for shards, stones, fossils and that sort of thing. I could waste hours at a time down there.

miss the underground, saved me numerous times for evo stones, as well as the music track (Sendoff spring track gave me chills). also daimond was my first pokemon game, so im kind of attached to this generation

While Diamond and Pearl had some issues, they're still memorable because they introduced Wi-Fi and online trading/battling, so I definitely can't say they're nothing.

Platinum, with the Battle Frontier, its awesome variety and plenty of fun battles throughout the main story, and Dawn's snowy outfit, are definitely things i'll remember it for. :)

I, for one, miss the time period of Gen 4 (2006-2010). Only a few years ago, but still some good times. It was a very good part of my life: Red Sox winning the World Series, Celtics winning a Championship, Patriots going >18-1. However off-topic this is, I just wanted to share it.

Wifi Battling became my favorite thing to do. I'd assemble my team and fight randoms from an internet chatroom. There was no better feeling than defeating someone online!!! I also loved the Battle Tower, though I prefer the Gen 3 Battle Frontier (Thank you Platinum for bringing the Frontier back!). I almost forgot, the GTS was awesome! It also gave me my competitive team.

I was so excited for Platinum that I bought it in Japanese off EBay (Well worth it). I loved the revived Day/Night System, the different soundtracks to accomodate for Day and Night, and the upgraded overworld graphics.

Gen 4 had some of my favorite Pokemon overall (Weavile, Azelf, Porygon-Z)and gave some much-needed evolutions (Mismagius, Probopass, PoryZ again, Gliscor) which gave some usage to otherwise forgettable Pokemon.

There are some aspects to Gen 4 that I don't miss, but overall I liked it very much. There's no bad generation for Pokemon.

I miss the soundtrack and the overall feel of the game. I still remember guessing what the Gen 4 English names were going to be.

The VS. Seeker. I loved rematching people and rebattling their leveled-up team!

I miss HGSS a lot more than the Sinnoh games. Although a lot of the interface changes it brought are now present in X & Y. (Pokedex layout for example)

I don't really have the strongest "bond" with the Sinnoh region.

Oh, how do I miss the fossil and treasure digging, build your "secret base" in the Sinnoh Undergroud to fill it with awesome stuff, and how could I forget about the nice challenges to get the legendaries such as the Distortion World (platinum)?

I really missed the Pokeradar too, until it returned in Gen.6 to piss you off most of the time, but still, yay! The shiny hunt continues once more!

I still play them sometimes, for getting pokemons to generation V. So I can get them on my pokebank :)
