I am going to sound like an idiot when I say this, but I just got platinum imported from Japan (took it long enough) and I am trying to type in the name "Richy" in japanese. I can't figure out the letters and buttons! Any help or videos showing everything?
There are English characters, you know. I believe there is a 6 character limit, so keep that in mind.

Actually, it's five. :x

You can type it in English, albeit it'll be only 5 letters, but still. You just hit the ABC button. :[

There is; you just need to search for the name and a Japanese translation of it on the Internet, then search for the correct Japanese characters in the game. That's how I managed to get the name I have on my Platinum version. I ended up using Ayumi. (あゆみ)

Though a basic search hasn't returned any results for "Richy"... I did find some for "Richie".

It requires a special Key Item that is given out over Wi-Fi. This item grants access to a specific room that holds the five appliances necessary for Rotom to change forms. Simply check one with Rotom in your party and Rotom will "possess" the appliance, changing into the appropriate form.

I'm not really sure if this is in the right thread so please tell me if it is.
Is there a way to change Platinum to english? If not, then how do you guys play the game if it's japanese? Thanks :>
Playing this game in Japanese is actually not as difficult as one might believe. With sites such as Serebii or Bulbapedia listing detailed information on movesets and specific attacks, there is enough information in the game to figure out what each attack is even without understanding the language. The only part of the game really missed out on is the story, which some people can live without.

no. he can teach new moves. I took my torterra (original starter, never traded) to him at level 36 and he tought him wood hammer. ur mistaken...
No =/

Thats the move "re-learner" as in teaches the pokemon past moves or moves it already knows via Heart Scale, Torterra already knows wood hammer and even though it doesnt learn it by level up its still classed as though it has already learned it. Its not a new move per se nor is it a "tutor move". Torterra simply re-learned a past move.

Lucario doesnt learn T-punch through this method in D/P. Only in plat through the actual tutor does it learn it.
