Im really glad they made movement when surfing faster in platinum now because in d/p it was soooooooo slow. In emerald version surfing was fast and then in d/p they decided to torture us. But they fixed that now. :D
Is there anyone who has platinum now who noticed this?

I noticed this when I first defeated Wake. And got surf, I was so amazed that they actually made it faster. At least they changed the surfing. But, game freak should consider changing the snow when you can only see your head. It is fine to have a little snow but not too much to where you can barely move (well it is realistic though...).

Oh, thank god. I hated surfing in D/P, it was so painfully slow I thought I was going to fall asleep xP.
Does this mean that Platinum is in English now, or do you all just speak Japanese? :P

About time! Surfing is one of things I hate to do on Pearl, because of how slowly it does. Glad it gets an update!

Finally! :)

I absolutely dispised surfing in D/P. It took like five minutes to get across a pond...

Plus, I can train my electric types easier! :D

I knew this for a long time. I actually indicated that "Surf's speed has increased" (2:10 of video) in one of the original trailers videos I posted on Youtube.
I wish Sinnoh had more ocean to it like Hoenn did.

That's terrific. Surfing utterly sucked in D/P so I'm glad we get to move fast in Platinum.

Really? That's so awesome. One of the worst things about D/P was the surfing speed. I think I'll recommend to all my friends who have DSes to get it purely for that XD.

Oh, I'm so thankful. Having to surf that slow, on long water routes, is agonizing. I might have a lot of fun with Platinum, though it's still not going to be my dominating game of the fourth generation - that honor goes to Diamond.
