My reasons are pretty much these as mentioned. The little extras are always nice.

Platinum, by far. It was the game that got me back into Pokemon, and it fixed some of the issues with D/P, primarily the battle and surfing speed. ^.^

Platinum, because of the Battle frontier and the distortion world.

Platinum. Not only does it fix a ton of problems that Diamond and Pearl had, but it also adds a ton of new features to make things even better.

I'm playing Platinum and I love it, it's like both Diamond & Pearl with extras.

Tbh I'm not a real fan of any Generation IV games, but if I must pick Diamond.I like simple better and I like Dialga better than Palkia.

For a while Pearl was my favorite because "its the pink one". LOL.
But after I got over that and saw Platinum would be coming out, I bought it and now it is my favorite of the DPPt games. All the snow and the changes in the story line were fun. It's the only generation 4 game I still play often.

I prefer Platinum out of the 3, cause there were more Fire Pokemon (D/P only had Chimchar and evos and Ponyta/Rapidash). Plus there was more to do like Distorted World, Looker, Charon, a thicker story of Team Galactic, the ability to own a Villa and buy stuff for it, the ability to re-battle gym leaders, the ability to chase all 3 dragons, and you can buy poffins instead of just making them (I stunk at making them :/ ). There are probably more stuff that I forgot. Out of Diamond and Pearl, I like Diamond cause Diagla is a Steel/Dragon and Palkia isn't the first Water/Dragon (I think Kingdra was).

I love my Poke'mon Diamond. I love Sinnoh and I love all the Poke'mon in it. My favorite Poke'mon is Lucario, though, which you can get in the game. Poke'mon Diamond doesn't seem like that old of a game, I turn it on and feel like I'm playing something from this year, that's just how much fun it is!

I think way more than most will agree with Platinum. Being the reason to have more Pokemon to catch, more stuff to do, and capturing both Palkia & Dialga in the same game rather than separate. I had Pearl and still have Diamond, but want Platinum pretty badly. My nephew has the game and I'm just jealous that he has a better Sinnoh game than me for the longest time. I'll eventually get Platinum soon, to have a blast with it!

Platinum! I like the Distortion World... it was a fun puzzle. Also, the expanded storyline was refreshing. Hm.. and it just sounds cooler. :)

Platinum because of the addition of the Battle Frontier, more pokemon added to the pokedex and allowed to rematch the Gym Leaders and fighting a powered-up Elite Four

Diamond, because although Platinum added a whole bunch of new features, it got hard and somewhat dull to me, and Diamond was the first Pokemon game I played, so it has a nostalgia effect to me

I'd rather say Platinum, but at the same time Pearl was my very first 4th gen game I got, and I played more with it than with Platinum, and it's with it that I felt all this magic to discover new Pokémons.
But Platinum has more features and a better storyline, so we can say that it's more complete. And personally, I prefer complete games, so my choice go for Platinum !

Platinum, because it's the only fourth gen game apart from SoulSilver I've played. But it's my least favourite game I've played over all the genrations.

Platinum, most definitely.
A. Early access to Eevee (and of course Espeon <3)
B. Get Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina.


Is it bad that A. is the larger reason?

I'm not really a fan of the Sinnoh region but I still play all the games. Pokemon Platinum wins it for me though. Since it is the updated version, Pokemon Platinum fixes most errors and has more features to do. Pokemon Diamond would have to be second and Pokemon Pearl last.

Pokemon Diamond, because it's the first Gen 4 Pokemon game I played.
It is also the only game I completed Pokedex and have over 300 hours of playing time.

Platinum is not only my favorite game of Gen 4, but also the best in my opinion. Solid plot, excellent challenge, decent variety of Pokemon (still very few Fire-types, but no game is perfect) and a lot of fun.

Also Team Galactic. Until Ghetsis, Cyrus was by far the most interesting and insane Big Bad. He may not be as...appealing as N, or as charismatic as Giovanni, but he had the biggest ambitions and the biggest story. Anyone who comes that close to wiping out the universe deserves to be called one of the best villains in the series.

I happened to like Platinum the most due to more Pokes being available in-game and the E4 rematches giving me a little something to train for post game when not playing around in the Battle Frontier but those are just a few reasons really lol.

500th post, yay.

Why I prefer Platinum over D/P: Platinum has a better "Dawn"-sprite. She looks cuter and has cuter clothes. I think everything looks better.

Why I like HG: Again, "Lyra"s sprite is just the cutest. I can have my favorite pokemon follow me around, and it reminds me of when I was young. I can travel to Kanto and it's like beating the game twice.

I can't choose between Platinum and HG - so I say both! =)

Platinum, given the fact that it has more to do than the others, then Diamond because of the Pokémon I prefer being catchable on it, and then Pearl, which I've never even touched.

I don't know why but I have to choose Diamond. When I first bought my own DS system Diamond is the game that I chose and bought with my own money. But I would say Platinum is a close second only because I haven't even got through most of it yet, it's still pretty new to me. I like it, but I haven't gotten to the Distortion World yet.

Platinum. I don't know why. I started Diamond and got bored half way through, but I'm liking Platinum a bit more.
