    The only thing I dont like is that when the trainer pops out the "!" on top of there heads they move slow and I kind of wanted it to go a lil faster. lol Otherwise no hating in this game. ;]

    I hate when you fight someone, and there attacks never run out, I just fought cryus in the spear pillar, and I had a lvl 66 scizor, and that freaking weavile killed it twice with ice punch, and that was it. Must have hit me fiftey freaking times... I'm so mad, that that one attacked wiped my party out.

    That the Underground and Contests don't have WiFi, there isn't a vehicle to use in the underground (would have been great if they let you use a cart or something similar to go faster) and that Puerto Rico isn't in the GTS/GT globe. :( (closest place in D/P was Virgin Islands)

    I don't like that in the Underground, it takes longer for the radar to respond when you touch it. But all in all, what I don't like about Platinum pales in comparison to what I like about it.
    I noticed that, too, since I hang around underground a lot. Other than that, everything is an improvement from D/P in my opinion. I think 'hate' is too strong a word for anything that'd irk me about Platinum.

    Also, I find it fun running into a bigger variety of Pokes rather than the same couple of species over and over.

    I don't hate this but....

    The trainers seem to exploit type advantages much more than D/P. Also, just noticing that some of the NPC's use battle items now... any one else notice that?

    Does it really matter that much, I mean the Galatic HQ wasn't that hard but it wasn't easy either. It was kind of in-between and I think it was perfectly fine. Also, a place to pick up a few EXP.

    Well, the Galactic HQ was an extremely easy task for me and my level 63ish Kangaskhan at that time.
    I basically one-hit KOed every single one of the grunts' Pokemon; including Cyrus's Pokemon.

    Hmm not much to hate just yet in single player mode. I've just restarted so I've only beaten the first gym. I've read up on battle mechanics better and it's proved worthy. I've happily beaten Roack the first time this time. Yay for me! Haha.

    As Wifi goes I wish we could do a lot more in the plaza. While having many people around is nice, more than 4 at a time for once, the sound everyone makes when they come back is annoying. Games are so few as are just general actvities. I know they made the chat simple as to make sure no bad people come for kids but it's boring the answer silly questions. Although translating them was a good touch. Now I can "talk" to people in Japan. I agree that underground needs complete wifi. I have no one else to play with so it gets boring and lonely down there. Not to mention trying to trap 20 people to get items is impossible.
