I have an American and European version of Diamond and Pearl... and while I have the Japanese version of Platinum, I still plan to buy the English version of Platinum. I'm torn between getting the American or European version, though... or I'll just get both... XD
I'm really not that "big" of a Pokefan, but I may end up getting Platinum anyway. I've had Diamond for almost six months, and I'm still struggling to get to the fourth badge. Maybe a newer interface and features would liven things up.
the fourth gym? as in , Pastoria city? well, whenever i do that gym, i usually catch a carnivine, or a bibarel and teach it an electric move, since it's part water type itself. also, i sometimes find it easy to go throught eh marsh to the west of the city, until you get to the mansion, since they have a variety of grass and electric pokemon there. i myself have pokemon diamond, but i have to wait until May 22nd to get Platinum! :(
Is there a difference between the European and North American versions? Besides if the European version has different languages, but I'm pretty sure that both of the English versions will be exactly the same, anyway.
