Well, now that Platinum us out I wanted to see what people thought of Diamond as an over all game and I wanted to see what you guys think. I don't know if anyone here plays Platinum yet but trust me. The day it comes out there will be chaos. Supposedly, the graphics are much greater and the game is overall better.

I say.


I say. 3 for Graphics, 5 for game-play. 2 for story-line.

The graphics aren't much better.

They changed some of the sprites... Yay...

And of course the game is better, what could they have done to make it worse? That's not to say that the game couldn't be worse, it's just they'd have to be really stupid to make the game worse.

Graphics - 83/100 For a DS game they are pretty nice
Sound - 77/100 Likewise, classic Pokemon music remixed = nice
Story - 45/100 If you compare it to the other ones it really isn't much different.
Gameplay - 89/100 Something about D/P bugged me, compared to FRLG it isn't great in my opinion.

They made a lot of the Pokemon sprites look much better.

I'm happy with that.

It didn't really make me go "WOW, this is AWESOME!". It was more like this "Nice...".
New sprites, a little extra stuff. Pretty much Ruby → Emerald, imo.

Im playing platinum atm and tbh, I can'tstop



I quit alot of the stuff I do online and basically only use this forum and a few other sites, and play platinum whenever im not at school, or working out for sports.

It is an amazing game, the pokemon are the same, but they are much easier to acquire compared to diamond/pearl, which makes the game SO MUCH more versatile as a team.

The only thing is im not too good at japanese, so it'sa tad hard for me to follow the story line.

But: EEVEE IS BACK, in the 3rd gym's town!

that made me so happy.

I feel the same way! <3
I've also been playing NON-STOP! I've already beat it too! But I haven't got t3h national Dex. D:

Anyway, the game is 50x better!

Graphics are different, not better. Overall an improvement.
Sprites of the Sinnoh 210 Pokemon have been changed. Some are better and some are worse.
Storyline, basically the same. Little changes, and some new additions.

Hmm...

Graphics: The overworld had a MAJOR revamping, but most of the pokemon sprites remain unchanged other then their positions. (Though there are a few noticeable differences, such as Porygon2's shrunken feet, and Machoke's "lets be friends!" facial expression.)

Storyline: Alot better then the generic storyline that we were given for the last two generations.

Gameplay: Only word can describe this: HOLFWTFAWSEPIC!

I don't know if you know this, but changing a position means it's a brand new sprite.

So no, they're not unchanged at all.

It wasn't just Sinnoh pokemon either, Pokemon from all generations recieved the update.

Well at least the Move Tutors are here ^_^ Somehow I was hoping Empoleon would get Earth Power =P but yeah, he didn't. Too bad Nasty Plot wasn't one of them =\

And also, the fact that Togepi is available before the E4 makes me more happy XD Yay for Nasty passing.

And... They made Darkrai even more broken by bestowing him Nasty Plot D=
