Both; to play the game another time. I know I like to repeat the adventure to get another thrill and another adventure, especially with more experience. Maybe you'd want a different team, or would want to pick a different starter, or maybe even choose the other character. Also to complete the Pokédex (which I've NEVER done) and to add to your video game collection.

This is why I had trouble with Platinum; I finished the game, but I had nothing to do in the end and so I wanted to restart to form a different team and stuff, but then I realized all of the valuable stuff I had, so I was stuck with nothing to do. Now I'm just gonna get SoulSilver, trade all my valuables to it from Platinum, then restart Platinum. That's what I love about the Pokémon games: you can restart them a million and times and not get bored with them...at least for me :3

Oh yeah, and I'll probably end up getting both, even if it seems impossible for me now.

As of yet, I have only pre-ordered SS, but i'd like to get HG for a few reasons:
1) If I got it, I would get it in Spanish so that i could practice my spanish skills and have fun at the same time (it certainly beats spanish soap operas)
2) It would be my secondary file to restart as I please because with my first game, LeafGreen, I had finished the game but I got bored so I restarted. That was years ago, I have yet to beat the Elite 4 again x___x
3) Twice the legendaries, duh!

But, ya, mostly because it would be in spanish, which would be awesome!!! (this coming from a language nerd)

I would have to agree. I'm getting my boyfriend into Diamond, as I traded over my higher-leveled pokemon onto my Platinum, and let him restart a new game there. So I may just down the road buy another one so he can trade with me, but I am a little bit annoyed that they raised the price to $39.99...

I may get SoulSilver at some point for him, but that would be the only case for me to spend so much money.

I believe macfreak93 gave me a good idea/reason to buy another one: practicing my Spanish! Hmm...but still two of those games would be half my weekly pay lol...sad I know.

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.

I had to pay off $42 for it... :\ I suspect the price raise is for the PokeWalker though, so I can't really complain, but still.

To me, that's unbelievably expensive for a DS game considering they're selling non-major games for like $20.

Anyway, I for one would not at all pay $84 + tax for two identical games, even if I wanted to play it twice, I'd just trade the good Pokemon over to Platinum and restart that one.
