    Hey guys!

    I'd like to know what your best memories/experiences were when playing either Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl, Or Pokemon Platinum!

    As Diamond is my favorite pokemon game of all time, i've had a lot of good memories/experiences.

    My bestfriend and I met because he bought Pearl, and I bought diamond, and because of that we had a lot of memories in battling and trading.

    If I had to single any one moment out in the game, it'd be beating the Elite Four + the champion the first time and seeing the credits. There was something about finally beating the "Main goal" of the game and seeing your hard work pay off. The ending credits with the Bicycle was pretty cool also.

    If I had to chose a experience, it'd be seeing my pokemon get stronger and better as I trained. Seeing them go from very weak and bad pokemon to excellent ones was a very exciting progress. Much like raising a child almost. Not quite the same thing, as you don't battle children against eachother. (This isn't the hunger games.) BUT BACK ON TOPIC.

    Please, tell me about your favorite memories/experiences or even surprises in game!

    I had two DS that I could trade POKeMON back and forth. So I had Alakazam, Golem and Gengar... Nothing was beyond me.

    Having two Nintendo DS' would've been really helpful! :D I remember I met a guy at this camping thing, where I was staying for a week and i thought it was going to be boring. Turns out he had Pearl like my friend, and we battled, traded, and he gave me all sorts of tips. Best week ever. ;D


    Isn't it great when that happens? You get double the games. :D
     
    One of the higher ones would be going into the Underground for the first time; I found it immensely fun and was quite happy with the addition once I had tried it out for myself.

    Another was finally getting the hang of the Pokerader and catching my first shiny Pokemon (a Shinx) after a few days of chaining (hour a day or thereabouts). That was pretty neat.

    I thought the Underground was really awesome! I was down there all the time to get fossils and evolution stones. And of course to make my base with all my traps (;

    Getting your first shiny pokemon is always memorable. Mine was a Machamp in Pokemon Diamond. It was a random encounter one too :3
     
    Getting all of the fossils I could from the underground and making a team of fossil pokemon >:D

    And the first time I got a Lucario and it learned Aura Sphere :D!

    I have to admit, Getting a Lucario made me freak out. I LOVED that pokemon. Also, the fact that you can get it on Black/White after beating the Elite Four blew my mind. So now, I have a Lucario on my team. (':

    But Yes, Aura Sphere is one of my all time FAVORITE moves. It's just epic. Especially after you watch the movie, and then you get to use it in game! :D

    I also loved all the possibilities in pokemon for teams. ;D
     
    Game Experience: had two DS's used it to trade pokemon back and forth from Pearl to Platinum to use stronger pokemon I had stashed in Platinum for battles in pearl

    RL: My mom got me Platinum for my 13th Birthday along with a Blue DSi and my dad got me Pearl for my 16th that I used on a Blue DS lite...
     
    *Seeing that the region's champion was a woman... and hearing that she had one of the most epic battle themes ever.
    *Sitting in on Cyrus' speech in Platinum. I think it really gave some insight into who he was as a character.
    *Getting my Underground Secret Base finally set up exactly the way I wanted to.
    *The wonders of wi-fi battling and trading.
    *Galactic Commander Mars. There was just something about her that I found charming, and to this day I still can't put my finger on it...
    *Meeting Jasmine in Sunyshore City. Less awesome was when she later pwned me in a Contest, but it was still nice seeing what she's been up to recently.
    *Obtaining and fully decking out my Villa in Platinum. It's my second home now and its elegant, upscale environment is perfectly suited for me.
     
    -A lot of the areas in Sinnoh were just beautiful or really cool, I liked the region
    -Barry just being crazy and fining you money all the time xD
    -A lot of the new pokémon like Burmy and Honchkrow I just loved
    -Speaking of Burmy - Honey Trees!! I personally enjoyed them
    -Finally beating Cynthia felt like a real accomplishment
    -Getting the National Pokédex in Diamond, I don't think I'd ever done that before
    -Also caught my first shiny (Golbat)
    -I liked the villains, Jupiter especially
    -I actually set out to catch some of the legendaries (faves are Dialga and Uxie), sometimes I don't bother lol
    -Contests were so fun! I have a prize winning Mothim now lol :D
     
    Pokemon Diamond was my first Pokemon game. :)
    (haha, years later I'm sitting with all the games on a Poke Forum. XD)

    I have lots of good memories with Diamond, since thats the game were I was introduced to Pokemon and I was learning loads about it. 'Cause when I started I literally knew nothing. My past experiences with Pokemon were the stickers my sister used to collect, and the lollies with the Pokemon inside them! :D

    Anyway, back on topic. :)

    Ironically, the weekend I decided to buy Diamond, my cousin also bought Diamond. This started years of battling, trading and running about the garden catching imaginary Pokemon, lol. I only had turned 9, I was little, okay?! XD

    He started with Piplup, and I started with Chimchar (my Chimy. XD)

    At that point, I (obviously) knew nothing about EV training, but looking back, I must have accidently gave him Sp. Def EVs and Sp. Atk EVs, since my cousins Empoleon could never beat him. Chimy would 1 hit KO his Empoleon, it was awesome! :D

    Then we'd run about in the underground setting traps for eachother for hours, literally. XD Since buying the games, he would come to my house in the morning before school started (to play Pokemon) and would come to my house after school to play Pokemon until night. Then he'd go home and we'd train to battle our Pokemon the next day. XD

    It was a really awesome part of my life. :D

    Unfortunately, he no longer plays, so... :'(
    I hope I can get a Poke buddy again at some point. :D
     
    My best memory with regards to Platinum was listening to the music. Apart from maybe SoulSilver, Platinum has my favourite Pokemon score out of all of the main series games. Everything from the Veilstone jazzy score to the bike music and even some of the battle themes. It's a musical cornucopia for the ears, which is very good indeed. I'm even humming the Veilstone City music in my head while typing this out, it's that addictive! :D
     
    The Pokeradar was like one of the best things that's ever happened. Nothing gets you more excited than seeing that shiny piece of grass. That said, it's very disappointing when you lose your chain especially at 39 stupid little Bidoof...

    I also loved the Battle Frontier. Loved everything about it. <3
     
    Really when I first got my hands on a copy of the series. It was my first pokemon game after playing RBY and GSC. When I turned the game on for the first time, and saw the crystal clear graphics, with their vibrant colours and shades, I loved it -- after all, I had been used to an almost colourless Pokemon gaming experience for all my life up until that point!
     
    Out of them I only played Pokemon Pearl.

    LOL its funny cos I was stuck and I knew where to find Palkia but I had trouble finding where to go outside in the snowy area of the mountain lol I spent like a week trying to find it.

    It was the best exp when I finally found it and caught my Palkia.
     
    I have lots of great memories from Platinum, I caught many cool Pokemon and some 4th Gen Pokemon became my faves, especially Roserade, Togekiss, Gallade, Froslass, Glaceon, Leafeon, Buneary, Pachirisu, Chimchar, Infernape, Piplup, Empoleon, Yanmega and Lucario.

    My biggest moment would have to be the Vs. Seeker. It made training so much fun.
