Which one is the CORRECT one, if there is one?

I prefer DPt, since that is the name of the new Japanese TCG set. But for the games, is it different?

Thanks, and sorry if this was supposed to go the general Pokemon thread.
DPPt? DPP? DPt?

DDP- DIAMOND PEARL PLATINUM
DPPT- diamond pearl platinum trading cards
DPT- diamond pearl tradeing cards

My favorite is DPP. Gotta love three-lettered abbreviations.

Same. The 't' is unnecessary.

To separate that P is Pearl and Pt is Platinum

I use both DPP and DPPt, but ususally, I'll be found saying DPP since I'm a bit too lazy to put DPPt on most occasions.

I just use D/P/P. Force of habit to use three letters, for one thing, but most people still get it even without that "t".

In the grand scheme of life, does it really matter whether it's DPP or DPPt? no, not really, as different people have different abbreviations for things no matter what it is. And whoever said the t in DPPt meant trading cards is retarded. However, incase no one else noticed, this thread really has no point anymore as the creator has deemed its purpose completed.

I would be using DPP, but in most places I've seen it as DPPt, or with slashes in between. I'm not really fussed either way, though.

Why not call it IV as in Gen IV? I guess if you called it that people might think you are talking about other stuff related to the Gen and not just the DS games.

I'm fine with all of them except DPt. I get why the lower-case "t" is used, but it could be easily misread as just "Diamond and Platinum," excluding Pearl. And, if we start using Pt for Platinum, that means we have to refer to the Gen. 2 games, G/S/C, as Au/Ag/C, and use the actual chemistry abbreviations for those games just as we did for Platinum. And that would be weird (sort of).
Then again, the only reason we're using "Pt" in Gen. 4 is because 2 of the 3 games in Gen. 4 start with the same letter (for the first time ever in any Gen), which could cause confusion. But it sort of shouldn't matter because D/P/P includes Pearl and Platinum, regardless of order. Pt should probably be used only when pairing Diamond with either Pearl or Platinum, without mentioning the excluded third game.

I preferably use D/P/P but it's up to you really. Although DPPt is quite tempting as it is easy to write. I think DPPt.

I use DPP or D/P/P, and most likely will always.
