Well, one of the reason why I think Platinum is better is because I'd never played the other two before. XD;

Anyways, the sprites were slightly improved and the player could battle Fatina sooner. xP Oh, and having Giratina as the mascot. I never really adored Dialga and Palkia as much as the aforementioned.

Hey, it gave Fires earlier on than any other generation. Fire Pokemon have always been scarce.

Like almost everyone else, I have to go with Platinum. It's the upgraded version of both Diamond and Pearl, and since Diamond and Pearl are both the same thing with only a few pokémon difference, Platinum wins. I like to battle a lot and when I heard they had the Battle Frontier I declared it to be my favorite game out of the three straight away.

Also, I see no reason to dislike Platinum in any way because there's just a few added features and different pokémon levels. Otherwise, everything else is almost quite the same. However everyone has their own opinion, and this is just mine which shouldn't mean no more to anyone else. xD;

Diamond. It was the one I played first and the one I have played most, I constantly play Diamond and all others are just used to trade with. :)

Platinum is best for many reasons:
  1. Faster surf
  2. Battle Frontier
  3. Able to catch full dragon trio
  4. Rebattles with Gym Leaders
and more...

Platinum. But, that is simply due to more changes and better updates to it's prequels.

It's Platinum, because you can walk upside down at Distortion World.

I didn't say anything about the quickness or lack thereof of getting a fire Pokemon, I implied there actually are no new regular fire Pokemon other than the starter.

I have played both versions and from my experience Diamond was a bit better. I really don't know why I liked it a lot more, but it probably had something to do with Dialga being the main Pokemon.

The middle version of pokemon versions were always the best. Think things like Yellow and Crystal version.

I enjoy Platinum. It's like an upgrade of the other two in a way? It incorporates both, and I just over all like the play of it.

Platinum. I enjoyed Diamond but the storyline in Platinum was so much better and I liked the little random things they added in like the character Looker - just little things added in like that really improved my enjoyment of the game ^_^

In my opinion, I prefer Platinum since as what as stated above, It's the upgraded version of Diamond and Pearl Versions, and also you can caught both the three mascots, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. :]

I personally liked Pearl best... just because Pearl is my birthstone and Palkia is awesome.
I like Platinum second best because it seems to have a little more features in it and stuff.
I also got Pearl version first, so eh, its my favourite. -w-

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

Platinum is by far my favorite. Why? Well you can catch both Palkia and Dialga. They have the Battle Frontier in 3-D which I loved in Emerald. The game is much more challenging than the other two. They made the sprites look more cool and interesting. They added more scenes along with a detective bothering you like that one fat dude in the Hawaiian T with Sun Glasses from Emerald. More forms for Rotom. A cool form for Giratina. You can re-battle Gym Leaders and trainers. So basically it just made the game much more fun.
