    2. Saving a lot of data. I get this message a lot, even if I've only been playing for about five minutes since the last save. What major thing could I have done in the last five minutes that made the game take so long to save?

    It will do this after every time you move pokemon in or out of boxes, or catch one. I guess it involves a lot of data for each pkmn to be moved around or something.


    I didn't really hate a lot about this game, only about how you have to import pokemon from other games, I wish they were all on this one. That, and how many times you need to talk to someone underground to get spiritomb, jesus!

    Personally the whole lack of things to do after the E4

    all you get is 4/5 new routes
    and the ability to catch more different pokes
    and not much else

    i wish they could make a game that encorperates the 4 different reagions from each of the generations and make a long story line which forces you to go through each of the leagues, personally i think this would be best because then you have so much more to explore and the game lasts longer .... ive found myself compleating the games in a few days now

    The dreaded snow, it gets so frustrating walking at like 0.00005 km a year xD

    Also the fact that getting to route 224 is SO long xD. Have to go through a cave as well xD

    I always wished for the same thing but I wonder if the DS or any future nintendo handheld could handle all of that anytime soon

    2 reigons could be done easily, 3 could be done too. not sure about 4 but it would be cool seeing the other regions in D/P style rendering. As for lack of things to do, Platinums battle frontier looks promising.

    Saving a lot of data really annoys me, it didn't happen in the other games, ever. now it takes forever just because a single pokemon is moved.

    The good news is that Pokemon Platinum's Surf speed is way better.

    If they did we'd have a Johto remake...I don't get why Nintendo does this. Won't a Johto remake make alot more money than a D/P remake? I mean, they came out last year and diehard fans are knocking on their doors begging for a johto remake

    I don't think anyone mentioned honey trees. I mean really. Chansey was tough enough to catch in the Safari Zone, but finding a Munchlax? I've slathered over 1000 trees, and not a single Munchlax ever appeared. As of last Sunday, I've been slathering 20 honey trees 3 times a day. I know I should just breed for one, but I've been trying for over a year now to find one in Sinnoh. (I know I can breed one. But my goal is to catch all the Sinnoh pokemon in Diamond and Pearl only, and complete the Obtained Sinnoh Dex BEFORE facing the elite 4.)

    I hated the speed of the game. How battles took forever, and surfing speed, looking through the bag. Playing Fire Red or Leaf Green right after a month of Diamond makes me feel like the game is in fast foward..

    Wow....The only Pokemon games I have are the Mystery Dungeon ones and Pearl, so I can't really compare to older games...but I guess the most annoying thing for me was the fact that after you catch all the legends you can catch without cheating, there's really nothing else you can do unless you didn't battle every trainer on the routes. But that Platinum game looks AWESOME!!!

    Well other than snowpoint it has to be the saving a lot of data.What happened to the speed of saving the game in pokemon red/blue.It used to be only like two seconds.
    But the worst annoyince in the games is Du dunh daaaaa......

    My guess is that it's a marketing technique. They make a game series unlike never before (The first DS Pokemon game series) which they add upsetting features to it. We then later complain about the features, hoping that the next generation won't be as bad. FINALLY, they leak out information about the new Pokemon Platinum just to get people excited and buy millions (or billions) of copies and making way more money than they did with Diamond and pearl.

    Formula:
    D/P Features Are Bad + Platinum Features Are Great = $$$
