    What are some pros and cons of Plat?
    Pros
    All new formes and legends.
    Cons
    Can't use some formes on wifi.
    What else can you think of?
     
    Pros:

    Spin Trade
    Guests (Joanne, Jasmine, etc.) in Master Rank Contests
    New Forms (Shaymin Giritina, Rotom, etc.)

    Cons:
    Some Pokemon removed from places.
    No Underground Wi-Fi (Picture for a moment how much of a frenzy that would be, though.)
     
    I have a con:

    The way 'forme' is spelled. It's not even a word! D:

    Yes it is. It's an alterative, and much older, way to spell "form", Like Old is Olde (Ye Olde Pub)

    Anyways:

    Pros:
    -7 New Formes to play around with
    -Level 50 Tournement-legal Heatran, Regigigas, and Giratina.
    -Regi and Bird Trios obtainable.
    -Bigger Regional Pokedex

    Cons:
    -The Localization. Like Diamond and Pearl before it, I refer to most things related to it by their Japanese Names (Giratina Another Forme, Pluto, Handsome, Rotom Cut Forme, Rotom Spin Forme, Platinum Orb, and Torn World)

    Imo, they should make alot of...how should I say this? Servers, I guess? Make it that each server can only hold like 15-20 people, otherwise you gotta choose another server to go onto. Doesn't seem like too bad of an idea, because Wi-Fi underground would be epic XD
     
    PRO's:
    You get to see several new sprites for PKMNs and enjoy new applications.

    CON's:
    If you already owned a Pearl or Diamond you'll need to pay 30 dollars for almost the same game.
    Play the game again, which takes a lot freaky time.
     
    I think every Pro I could think of has been listed.

    The only con I see this game having is the increased "hax" factor, especially in the Battle Frontier.
     
    -Pro - Surfing speed is greatly increased. XD Save speed is, too, but it's only noticeable if you hold a D/P game next to a Plat game and hit save at the same time.

    -Con - Removed some of the best training spots in the game. :( I don't know why each game they make it harder and harder to raise pokemon to high levels. Whatever happened to the Unkown Dungeon with pokemon in the 60s and 70s?
     
    Pros

    -New Alternate Formes
    -Battle Frontier
    -Faster Speed
    -Better Outfits
    -Same Contest Sprites
    -Slightly Better Graphics
    -Hidden Power/Flash Cannon Animation
    -Sinnoh Dex includes All Eevee Evolutions
    -Wifi Terminal/Plaza/Club
    -Battle Recorder

    Cons
    No Online Contests/Underground
    Some Sprites were made Ugly
     
    Pros:
    More Pokemon available for the Sinnoh Pokedex,
    Improved Sprites for many Pokemon,
    Distortion World,
    Battle Frontier, even though I haven't played it yet, and
    A bit of an upgraded storyline

    Cons:
    Some Pokemon weren't available in areas that I thought that they would be.
     
    PROS
    New graphics
    Updated dex
    Battle Frontier
    Super Speed!
    Torn World
    Second round for leaders and E4.

    Cons
    Damn hard
    Too hyped
    Too little in a number of changes. They said new gyms and only 3 changed. If they changed all 8 cool but that was plain wrong of them.
     
    Pros:
    -Better graphics
    -New Sprites are pretty sick
    -Watch/Upload battle vids online
    -New clothes! :D
    -DEF the new forms of Pokes [Rotom, Shaymin, Giratina, etc.]

    Cons:
    -No Wi-Fi underground :[
    -GYM LAYOUTS ERKED MY SOUL. (i liked the whole idea of HEY NEW GYM LAYOUTS but these were simply ANNOYING.)
     
    Pros:
    -faster surfing
    -not dismounting your bike every time you go into a new city through a building
    -better sprites and quicker, cleaner animations
    -battle frontier return!
    -new forms
    -upgraded GTS rocks

    Cons:
    -wish there was just a little more added to the game besides the distortion world and some flashy new animations
    -harder to find new places to EV train
    -no wifi underground (it's hard for us 19 year olds to find friends who play pokemon to go underground with and steal flags....)
     
    Pro
    -Surf Speed, that's it
    -Better than D/P even though there are not that many changes, I preferred it over them
    -Battle Videos are entertaining

    Con
    -Kept the slow storyline with nothing really interesting (Distortion World is overrated)
    -Even more Pokemon added to a Dex that you need to do a few extra things before trading and restarting
    -Wifi Plaza is annoying, in my opinion
     
    Pros:
    -Surf speed is faster
    -Pokemon sprites are better (for some of them)
    -The Battle Frontier
    -Much interesting storyline
    -The Distortion World
    -Rotom, Giratina and Shaymin's alternate forms

    Cons:
    -A lot more Pokemon on the Sinnoh Dex
    -Some Pokemon from D/P can't be found in Platinum

    There are a lot more pros than cons for Platinum, in my opinion.
     
    Pros: New Sprites
    Excellent Storyline
    Battle Frontier
    New Rotom Forms (not Forme as that's only the term for Legendary Formes)

    Cons: Can't use Rotom Forms over Wi-Fi.
    GTS part of Global Terminal is garbage.
