Well, yes and no. XD

I am still breeding and training my Pokemon in Diamond, but I am slowly trading a few over to Platinum every few days. And all of my WiFi battles will be held on my Platinum game now. ^_^

I'll be switching over to Platinum too, once I get it.

As for Diamond, I do feel bad. It does have about 277 or so caught Pokemon on it. I'll probably only transfer the hard to get Pokemon in Platinum, that's easier to obtain in Diamond, if there are any. And of course, all Legendaries will switch over too (so that I can have 2 copies of each legendary). The 12 starters I've collected will also go over to platinum, leaving a copy of each behind. I'll probably use it for breeding starters.

Only reason I'm switching to Platinum is because there's a lot more to do on it: Battle Frontier, new Wifi features, Wifi Nintendo events, new Pokemon forms (and in fact, I think all different pokemon that have different forms can be obtained in Platinum: Deoxys can be changed in Veilstone, Rotom with the secret key, Shaymin, Giratina, etc).

I'm keeping one strong one (like lvl 83) in Pearl and giving a Pokemon an exp. share and training them that way.

Yeah, I got the English Platinum like a week or so ago. It's worth it, although I've been constantly distracted by msn convos to concentrate on Platinum. But I do love it, and I seriously can't wait till I can build a competitive team, my first one! Cause now I havee Wi-Fi, and it's so much fun ;D I checked out the Wi-Fi Plaza today; I thought it was so cute and pretty fun, definitely something to be proud of, GameFreaks. c:

Eh, I might come back and play Diamond once and a while, but I know I won't be progressing along the story for a long time. I'll be too busy doing stuff on Platinum. So, I guess you could say, R.I.P., Diamond; only for a while though!

Yes Platinum has better upgrades than Pokemon Pearl/Diamond, but DP will be needed. :)

In Pokemon Platinum you cannot catch Stunky, Glameow or Misdreavus. If you want to complete your national pokedex in Pokemon Platinum, your going to need Pokemon DP if you don't have wifi. xD

So I still have Pokemon Pearl in use for me.

When I finally get my mitts on Platinum, I will guiltily use Platinum as my main game, and as soon as I finish the main storyline I'll be trading my Diamond pokémon across. I'll then use my Diamond for mono-type challenges, EV training and the such like, though I'm not convinced I'll ever get rid of the game file that's on there. I've put too much love into it, and time.

I dont think im even going to buy Platinum. I got Diamond from this kid for like 10 bucks, so im just gonna play that to completion. I personally like Crystal and RSE better than the new games.

I do long to battle people over wifi though:(..

Considering how much better Platinum is then DP.. yeah, R.I.P.
Diamond and Pearl, honestly, didn't have much to offer to start with..
Beating the game was a piece of cake, and I got bored with it far too quickly.. I couldn't even urge myself to do Battle Tower.
In Platinum they made all gyms, and the Elite Four slightly more difficult. Stupid Dark/Electric/Fire/Ice Luxray of Volkners..

By difficult I mean the levels are all higher then before. The graphics are better, it takes more time to beat the game [Considering you didn't trade your DP team to Plat], and the almighty Battle Frontier.

Sorry DP, but you have been outmatched.

I will also be doing wifi battles in Pokemon Pearl for those who do not have Pokemon Platinum but have a wifi team in Diamond and Pearl. :)

Sometimes I will use my Platinum wifi team against those who have Diamond or Pearl. xD

i wanna get platinum but im still waiting to get it, i dunno i just havent been able to get a ride to the store, but ive only had diamond for a while too, because at first until like a month ago, i only liked G/S/C Fr/Lg R/S/E, but now i like the newer generation more, all the trading and battling, more challenging fights (in game even) so im trying to get platinum as soon as possible, but for now im just gonna keep playing diamond and ill probably keep diamond for transferring, and breeding, etc. when i do end up getting it

You know what, to tell you the truth, I was not very impressed by Platinum ._. I play my Pearl a Lot more than Platinum. All the "New Features" made me think that it was gonna be awesome. But I like the outfits, storyline, and everything else the best in Pearl/Diamond, except for the "Battleground" in the Survival area. Very useful for training.

ARE YOU KIDDING???????????
I'd say PLATINUM sucks compared to d/p. I thought that the Storyline was boring in platinum, not to mention the new outfit was horrible, and I hated that I got Togepi egg instead of Happiny! :( You can catch a Togepi! Can you catch a Happiny? NO! D/p is better!

I know that. But I don't like Platinum that much, my Playtime is 31:24.
And my pearl is 347:Something!
And btw I got it on Dec 6 2007 and I lost it for 2 months!

Wrong-o.
You can get Happiny in the Trophy Garden.

Maybe you should do research next time..?

Since my Platinum is Japanese(I got it shorty after it came out in September of '08), I use my English Pearl to find out the Natures and Abilities of my Pokemon. Moves, however, I need no help on.

Sorry. But all I ever find in the trophy garden is Staravias, Pikachus, and Roselias.
And, happiny is VERY RARE! Togepi isnt

You get Happiny by obtaining the National Pokedex and talking to Mr. Backlot.
It's a bit of work, but the Sinnoh Dex is cake to complete.
