4th Gen Platinum Findings.. Anyone who's playing it post here..

[Jorah]

Marriland is doing a walkthrough (only showing the new stuff) https://www.youtube.com/user/Marriland
Gardinea: Yeah...WAH!

Here are some screens and some of the new Sprites (Ripped by me)

Titlescreen:

Wow, the reds and yellows are soo cool!

I don't believe anybody has mentioned this... but Ralts can be easily found in route 209. And Kirlia can be found in route 212.
Found it by uploading the rom's encounter data file to WPEDS (I didn't think it would work).

Just in case any fan of the Ralts line was curious about it, now you know. c: (Gardevoir and Gallade FTW)
Oh, and Bebe will give you an Eevee when you get to Hearthome the first time. Or so I read.

 

[Dukey]

there's no point, within a few months it will be in english anyway.

 

[Moi.]

The release date for US is suspected at march 09.

What a long wait.

What a long wait.

Not as long as it will be for the UK (Europe always holding us back ack)

 

[BeachBoy]

Oh well, no point in groaning about how long it'll be before it's out. Lets all spoil ourselves and keep the hype going anyway. :D I'm frankly spoiling myself like last weeks pizza toppings. D:

Wow, Platinum sprites have a major revamp, and they're not bad either, 'cept Piplup and Starly. <<; And Gym Leader "encounter screens" have some awesome high quality sprites. :D

What's not to love?

I cant believe what they did to the E4. *SPOLIERS*they made them even easier.*SPOILERS*

Spoiler:

That's true, but they definitely raised the AI difficulty, I mean seriously, I lost to my rival first go around. e_e It's obviously a smarter AI, so it could even out.

 

[Ooka]

I think Piplup's gigantic head is hilarious xD

And yeah, I've noticed an upped AI as well.

 

[~*Champion Shirona*~]

Are you guys kidding. I love the new Starly sprite. It looks bashful and cute. >_> . You people have weird taste.

OMG. Did you guys see the new Lake Trio sprites. They are friggin breathtaking. Mesprit... OMG.

:16:

 

[Ooka]

You people? Racist....

Well, I've actually never said anything wrong about Starly's new sprite, but I did see Azelf's, and it's pretty wicked.

 

[Tyrantrum]

I've found some more things. :)

Found it one Serebii! :D

 

[MyLittleShop]

Awesome... i wish i knew where i can get a japaneese version of platnium.

 

[Virtual Chatot]

Sweet, which means I can import Platinum all the earlier!! >:D

You silly peasants have to wait another 9 months to play it! >:p

 

[Infamous Amos]

Got the rom today... Makes me wish I could read Kanji... D=

Hopefully, someone makes a translation guide soon... Although it hasn't been out that long.

 

[~RNC~]

I just pre-order the game and by looking at this, I need to learn japanese or I'll never make it through the game!!

 

[Ooka]

Well, I highly doubt anyone will be taking the time to translate it when the English release is only months off. Not only does it take an extremely high amount of time to write a tutorial in the first place, but adding translations onto that, well, it's just ridiculous. If anyone does it, though, I'm sure it'll be Marriland.

EDIT: The Battle Recorder is pretty cool. Figured I'd get a shot of it.

 

[Melodyfree]

I'm back with moar screenshots. 8D

Not new, but I just felt like taking a screenshot of this. Kouki's Naetle is female. xD
First time I see a female starter on my 4th gen games at all.

Remember that trainer right before Jubilife that had a Kolink? It's a Minomucchi now. :D

Awesome battle recorder is awesome. Too bad I'm playing a ROM.

Jubilife looks real pretty now. :3

The white and pink poketch is win.

I TOLD YOU I'D GET A SCREENSHOT OF THIS. 8DD

Tomorrow's Friday so I'll have more of a chance to upload pictures.
I'm going to bed now. :'D

 

[Dooney]

Update:

- You can have Gym Leader Rematches in a Restaurant in the Survival Area.

Wow. You're right that does work! That's pretty cool. Nice to see the new Sinnoh dex pokes like Scyther in the wild.

Wow, thats awsome!!!

It's just like emerald.

 

[Netto Azure]

Eh...

I don't know....Should I buy Platinum or wait for the unlikely GSDS remake...This seriously makes me feel that I paid for a demo in Diamond...especially with the Wi-Fi enhancements...Seriously...mini-games???
