Should I trade in my Diamond game to go towards Platinum?

I really need help with this one guys!

Diamond was my first DS game ever, and now it's come Christmas time and I've recieved enough money to buy Platinum, but I'd like it a bit cheaper. So, I thought I'd just trade it in to EB Games to get it cheaper.

However this game is fairly hard to let go. I believe it was the Pokemon game I had defeated the Elite Four 49 times, also the first game I had that had a level 100 I had trained myself.

I know Platinum's much better in all ways possible, but I'd like to know what you guys think.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. Stores like that always give you about 1/3 of what they'll sell it for. In this case, you'll probably get about 12 bucks for it at best. It seems you have put much time and effort into the game (judging by your level 100 and the amount of times you beat the elite four, I'd say 200+ hours). What you should do is ask yourself if it is really worth trading a game that you have put that much effort into and are emotionally attached to. You also should consider that, with the current minimum wage, you'd most likely be able earn the money you'd otherwise save (by selling the game) in about two hours. How does that compare to the time you have put into your Diamond? In my opinion, I think the game is worth more than the small price they would pay for it.

I contacted them a while ago and they said they would give me $17 for it, or $19 if I had my EDGE+ card with me. This is very good because it would lower the $64 down to about $47 dollars.

Does the time it take to breed a pokemon depend on time or steps.

Depends on steps taken, some eggs acquire less steps some more. You can check Bulbapedia for the amount of steps per egg.

Hi guys. There's my question.
In Pokemon Pearl... where the hell is the IV Judge that i can find in the Battle Tower playing pokemon soul silver?
I just can't find it! I have to do something to unlock him? Is he in the Pearl cart or Nintendo create him only with Platinum?

Thanks in advance.

If i'm not wrong, that man exist only in Platinum so that;s the reason for not found him in Pearl.

It also depends on several factors that mess the x steps that you should take to hatch your egg, like talk to a NPC, the day care man, enter a building etc. This afternoon when i reach home, i post a link to a guide for breeding and there is explain all the factors that take part in the breeding and hatch of the egg. :D

 

[EttoreG]

Damn.
Can someone confirm that?

Confirmed, he only appear in Platinum, sorry pal.

You can only receive one per game pack. You can always reset your game then do it over again. Or some people get them via a ROM and extract the Wonder Card then get as many as they want. I don't know how it works first hand though.

 

[Morgnarok]

Thank you for that info but when i walk into gamestop what do i do to get them?

 

[Kenshin5]

First you need Mystery Gift. Go to Jubilife TV Station, talk with the interviewer on the third floor and say Everyone Happy Wifi Connection then he will give you Mystery Gift. Then once you got Mystery Gift go to Receive Gift then Select via Wireless. Upon that you will see the pokemon, it is sent to a person in green waiting for you at any Pokemart.

Which one shall I get out of diamond and platnium? And what's the difference? Is platnium like both together? Is platnium worth like the extra £8 - £10?

Cheers.

 

[Kenshin5]

I'd get Platinum, just for the sheer fact you can re-battle gym leaders, catch both Palkia and Dialga on the same game, you have Gen I Legendary Trio as Roamers. I am sure there are other features. I think Platinum has more move tutors as well. Either way I would go with Plat.

You should definitely get Platinum. The battles in DP are VERY slow which makes them quite tedious. Platinum and HGSS sped up the battles to make them almost as fast as the Gen III games.

It seems i have beat the elite 4,catched dialga and palkia,went to the battle area but i still can't reface gym leaders.Anyone know why?

You must have completed the Stark Mountain quest with Buck. Then you can go in the restaurant in Survival Area and re-battle the gym leaders.
