    • We all know that Platinum's just about to be released, and there's something that's been popping up in my head.

    A long while back, I saw some vids on the Distortion World, and, as I expected, it is very awesome. However, I was somewhat dissapointed to discover that it's fairly short. My question is this:

    Does anyone else believe that the Distortion World is simply meant to be a tease of what's to come in future games?

    • The Distortion World was only meant for Giratina, right?

    I'll say that this would not be seen again out of Platinum.

    • I thought the Distortion World went for a suitable length. Any longer and I probably would've quit playing for a while.

    Isn't the graphics same in any D/P/P game. O_o I think Game Freak would want to make better graphics instead of staying with the same D/P/P graphics. Anyways, it is unique to Platinum because of Giratina, and there is no 'hint' to the newer games. I don't think there will be a newer Distortion World unless they make a newer form of Giratina. =P

    Edit: Isn't the Distortion World long? =O It does have a lot of portals like Silph Co., and I have been in it. It has a good distance, any longer it would be boring.

    I don't think it will appear in other games. I guess it was made for Giratina's Origin Form.

    The DS has a 3D engine. Super Mario 64 DS is proof of that. Until the Distortion World came along, a 3D engine had never been utilized in a handheld Pokemon game. If thr creators have started to use it now, then it would make sense for this to be used again in future games. Now imagine a handheld Pokemon game with graphics rivaling an N64. The Distortion World seems to be that first step.

    Really, there was an interview with the producers of D/P, and the main game director said that they will stay with these graphics in a good long time. Because, they wanted D/P/P to be still original with the average 2Dish graphics, but have a hint of 3D DS graphics so you know you aren't playing a GBA game. The graphics could have been better, but Game Freak didn't want to go overboard with it.

    I agree with you. If they used it now, they'll probably be using it in future Pokemon games too, or they would've never made the Distortion World 3D-like.

    • Some of the younger fans might be confused with the 3-D. I mean, they just got used to 2-D and now 3-D?

    Also, as you can see the only 3-D part in Platinum was the Distortion World, and it was only a short one.

    So, could they really make a handheld Pokémon that is totally 3-D?
