With Platinum being here and those of you who had Diamond and/or Pearl in the past, I'm sure some of you may have forgotten about the two with Platinum's appearance. So my question is, do you still play Pokémon Diamond and/or Pearl while still having Platinum?

As for my own self, I have caught myself playing Pokémon Pearl more often than I do play Platinum. I guess it's because I've beaten the Elite Four in Pearl and I really just want to get Platinum over with so I can get to the Battle Frontier. Moreover, I'm more in a rush to experience the game after the Elite in Platinum, but I've been a little lazy to play it and with that being said, I have been playing more of Pokémon Pearl.

I've bought a copy of Platinum and it's still in its box. I want to wait till I've finished Diamond so I can take things one at a time.

I completed the Pokedex in Pearl before Platinum came out so I have no need to play Pearl anymore. I'm gonna try and complete the Platinum dex before I get Heartgold.

I did play Pearl at the same time as Platinum when it first came out. I was still doing the Platinum storyline, and Pearl was my breeding game. Unfortunately, I lost my Pearl game during the summer, so I do not play it anymore.

If only I would have waited a bit longer until Platinum was released, I would have purchased only it. But I have only Diamond. Didn't bother to buy Platinum later on. I prefer to have only one game out of each generation, even if there is an improved version of it (because of money saving reasons >_>).

I've played Pearl all the time before Platinum came out but now Platinum is the one I play all the time. But I use Pearl for different challenges like Solo runs and Monotype challenges. Having two game helped a lot because I would constantly be erasing my file and started over again due to boredom and that got in the way of competitive play a lot so while I use Platinum for online play and things, Pearl is just for random gimmicky playthroughs

Diamond has become my mass storage. I store EVERYTHING from my other games in there. As for Pearl I've actually been playing it everyday this week. :O

I don't really play Diamond anymore, since Platinum's more of a completed version of it. I just transferred my most prized Pokemon over and started fresh. I do that every time I get a newer generation game. It's more interesting that way.

I don't play them unless I need something from them (items, pokemon, trade-induced evolutions, TMs, ect.) They're far from worthless, I just don't play them "for the fun of it" anymore. Cuz' yeah, as the above poster stated, Platinum is a more "complete" version of the other two.

They also come in handy when a Pokemon event comes around that is for all three games. 3 games = 3 event pokemon = awesome

I'm playing Diamond at the moment, because I haven't gotten all the legendaries in it yet. Once I do get them (with good natures :P), I'll probably trade over all worthwhile Pokemon and items to Platinum and start Diamond again.

I sold my Pearl back to GameStop after I beat Platinum and transferred my Pokemon over. So I guess that means the answer's no.

Of course. The Pokedex in Diamond is more full tan Platinum, so I usually Wi-Fi trade and hatch eggs on Diamond.

I haven't finished the Platinum's storyline, so Diamond will have to wait for quite a while.

No need to write my answer, because it's identical to this. =)

I can't play older games of the same generation. As long as I have Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum, I wont touch R/B, G/S, R/S or D/P ever again. Although when it comes to remakes like FireRed/LeafGreen or HeartGold/SoulSilver, I play both of them.

I don't really play them actively - Platinum is my new game that I'm enjoying a lot more. I use Diamond for breeding and cloning, as well as to get some of the events I'm missing on Platinum.

Mostly I just use Pokemon Platinum, but sometimes I will catch Pokemon for My Pokemon Ranch on Pearl, or just use it (and Diamond) to get extra Pokemon Battle Revolution Pokemon. (If you use different games you can download the card more than once)

Exactly. I didn't care about D/P due to the awesomeness of:

Catching both Dialga and Palkia in the same game
Origin Forme Giratina
Being able to actually get the events.

Having Diamond and Pearl would be cool though, so I could get the pokemon that are missing from Platinum. *coughMismagiusandHonchkrowcough*

Pokemon Diamond for me. It was my first 4th generation game. I guess I liked it, but when I saw Pokemon Platinum Trailer, the scenes made me want to play it. I use to play Platinum more than Diamond, because it reminded me of Pokemon Crystal. Which imo is one of the best pokemon game.

I had used to play GB games, then skipped Diamond and Pearl. I got Platinum when it came out because Origin Forme = Smexy

I might get Diamond sometime and use it for breeding though

Yes, I've forgot my Pearl. And it's incomplete. D: I'm still training my Lucario before Elite Four. XP So, I will continue my Platinum until the English version of HG/SS are up.
