Who has been saving up their money for Pokemon Platinum when it came out? I have! I have saved $50 just in case it gets pricey. But just today, I heard news about a sequel to the PMD2 is coming out THIS YEAR in Japan and in the America area. It's called Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3, Explorers of the Sky! OMG! Isn't this great! And I thought Pokemon Platimun was great! Here's a scarce picture I found on it!


My guess is that these Pokemon will be added to the list of Pokemon you can get in the beginning! But don't threat! The same Pokemon starters from PMD2 will also be in this game! Plus, it's for DS! So don't worry about getting any new system any thime soon.

Now, for my big question? Now that you know about PMD3, will you buy that or Platinum. My opinon is that I'll save my money for PMD2. I always liked those PMd games better than the original.

What will you buy?

Platinum, most definitely. Honestly, Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky does not even qualify as a relevant issue for me, since the NTSC version will most likely not even be released until next year.

Well, they're saying it'll be released in 2009. O.K, maybe near the end of the year, but I'll wait that long, hopefully, maybe, supposedly, NOOO! lol

For the Japanese release, not the English one.

The DS is region free, so you could buy the Japanese Version when it comes out.
Perhaps, although speaking from experience, playing a game such as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon in a foreign language is quite different from playing a main Pokemon game. There is a greater focus on the actual plot, which means a greater focus on text.

No competition at all. Platinum all the way, I still like PMD3, but Platinum is the main of the storyline. I also like competitive battling, which PMD3 cannot do since everyone can legibly have 999 in every stat due to stat raising items (there is no limit to using them).

I guess it's unanimous. Platinum is DEFINATELY the #1 wanted game on P.C.

Pokemon Platinum, I was never much interested in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, or any other Mystery Dungeon game other than Izuna, to be honest. I'd probably be more interested if I could play as one of my favs like Raichu, Mew, or Gardevoir.

I checked around, the Japanese release for PMD3 is April 18th, 2009 and North America is currently To Be Announced.

I've been saving up for both, but since my mom demanded that I left $100 in the bank I could fall back on that if I ran out spontaneously (coughcoughlittlebrothercough) However, assuming my parents don't forget to give me allowance again, I should have enough to buy Platinum by it's launch date.

Onto the question... my answer is Platinum. I'm guessing that Explorers of the Sky is still a long way away from coming out... IN AMERICA!!

There's too big of a gap between the release of these games to decide which one I would buy. I don't even think its got a Japanese release date, yet. With Pokemon games, you can almost always determine how long it'll be for a game to come out to the rest of the world.

Though I have a Japanese version of Platinum, I'm still planning on getting an English version of the game. Though I'm torn between waiting for the UK release or waiting for the US release...

Once Explorers of the Sky gets a European release, then I'll definitely be making sure I can purchase it. But at current, it won't be until next year, at best.

Yes for my it's definitely Platinum that I'm getting as I prefer the main games to the side games.

Well I'm getting Platinum no matter what either this month (if my friends remembers to import copy's for his shop) or on launch day here in the UK, i dunno if I'll be getting PMD3, i loved PMD1 but haven't yet finished PMD2 so it'll depend on weather or not i have finished it by it's release (and if im acting at that time, i seem to play less games when im acting).
