Product description

New Locations: Distortion World: As the story unfolds, players will encounter the mysterious new Distortion World, an area unlike any seen in a Pok�mon video game before. The normal rules of time and space don�t apply to this world, allowing the area to push the limits of the Pok�mon game world. Players leap from pieces of land suspended in midair, walk sideways and even upside-down. The Distortion World, where the powerful Giratina resides, is somehow connected to the regular Pok�mon world. ~ The Battle Frontier: The Battle Frontier area (first introduced in Pok�mon Emerald) has been added to Sinnoh, containing five new Battle Facilities for Trainers to challenge, each with its own special rules. Each facility is run by one of five new �Frontier Brains� (characters that are similar to Gym Leaders). The new battle formats in each facility allow players to challenge themselves in new ways. ~ Wi-Fi Plaza: Players can explore the new Wi-Fi Plaza � a virtual Pok�mon amusement park filled with activities, including three new mini-games where up to 4 players can compete at once. Up to 20 players from around the world can connect together in the Wi-Fi Plaza to experience games, take part in parades and even see a fireworks show. ~ Enhanced Storyline: New characters add to the story, including Charon, a new Commander of the villainous Team Galactic (who is suspicious even by their standards) and an undercover detective, codenamed �Looker,� who is in pursuit of Team Galactic. Looker will help you throughout your adventure. Team Galactic has a new scheme� they�ve turned their sights on all three Legendary titans of Sinnoh � Dialga, Palkia and Giratina (all three Pok�mon appear together in this game for the first time).

Let me start my saying that if you have avoided the pokemon series because it is a "kids game" do yourself a favor and give it a shot. These series of games have all been top notch, combining a happy go lucky attitude with an incredibly deep battle system. It may seem simple on the surface but there are so many possibilities with which pokemon you choose for your team, what types they are, what natures they have to take advantage of certain stats, what abilities they will have, what move sets you will give them, it goes on and on.

As for this specific game, it is a great entry in the series. It follows Nintendo's normal pattern of releasing an enhanced version of their games, in this case of Diamond and Perl. These versions, at least for me, are the ones to get as they always offer something that the original versions didn't and usually have a better rounded set of Pokemon that you are able to catch as well as a unique Legendary only catch-able in these versions (in this case Giratina.)

The graphics and sound are all serve their purpose very well, although not exactly state of the art. My only gripe with the sound is that they still use albeit slightly enhanced versions of the gameboy chip sounds for the Pokemon themselves. This might just be for nostalgia, but i really wish they would change over to the voices from the Anime.

I could write a book about how much i love these series of games but i will just leave it at if you haven't played these games before, or have yet to move to the DS versions, do yourself a favor and give them a shot, i doubt you'll be disappointed.

This isnt worth over double of the base price of the game, if it even is a legitimate copy as the molding of the cartridge appears a little off compared to other cartridges from that era and year. But thatd all be fine if the cartridge actually worked and if the game wasnt freezing every ten minutes. You cannot call it “good condition” if its near unplayable and you havent even tested the game, or if you have you are lying to your customers. 1/10 not even worth 15$ — (feedback received from player/purchaser of game)

Came later than expected as there was a mistake on international shipping time but the seller immediately emailed me to inform me of it. It is one of the best games in the main series. It has randomly frozen once and seems to be a little difficult to get out of the DS slot sometimes, otherwise it's great.

Take More Than 5 Minutes to Save

Since we received the game the file does not save quickly, and sometimes will have momentary glitches and may error out. We thought that it may have been because of the older 3DS we were using, but no matter the system, the game does not save consistently. For the price point, the version we got was work only 1/4th of that.

Ayant récemment reterminé les versions Red et Silver VC sur ma New Nintendo 2DS XL, j'ai voulu continuer en m'achetant cette version Platine anglophone du jeu car je suis plus spécialisé en noms de Pokemon anglais. Article reçu en quelques jours, provenant de l'Angleterre, sans aucun soucis, neuve sous blister.
Si certains sont intéressés, c'est une version USA mais ne vous inquiétez pas car a l'époque les jeux DS étaient pas REGION LOCK ce qui veut dire que vous pouvez jouer sur n'importe quelle console (US, EUR, ASIA) n'importe quel jeu (US, EUR, ASIA).

Je mettrais surement a jour ce commentaire après avoir fini ce jeu. J'ai hâte de commencer et de découvrir cette génération 4.

Pokemon Platinum is, ironically, the true Gen IV gem-version.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2012

A betterment of the original Diamond and Pearl version, it surpasses the first two instalments of the fourth generation of Pokémon games in every possible regard.

A better flow of the game, a better main quest, improved details and dialogues and a tweaked battle system that fixes the slow pace of battle encounters. And countless extras, such as Gym Leader "Boss" rematches, a new area, new formes for Rotom, Giratina and Shaymin and the all new Battle Frontier, to sate your thirst for battling.

This game is a must have in any Pokemon fan's collection and a derserving title for the 5 star rating.

This game is awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2011

This game is awesome! I bought diamond and platinum, knowing barely anything about 4th generation Pokemon. I have played many different Pokemon games over the years and noticed which ones are better than others. Encountering Pokemon Platinum was a totally new experience for me as I had been waiting forever to know what this game was, how it was, and I was practically dying to see the pokemon firsthand. Beginning the game I loved how it unfolded the story into the new world of pokemon in the Sinnoh region as you encounter the new people and then the new pokemon. Although this game is technically an expanded version of diamond and pearl, it is also filled with so much more. In platinum you'll encounter both Palkia and Dialga, the two major legendary pokemon that most everyone wants. Also, you get to encounter Giratina, a pokemon that guards, and is more powerful than, Palkia and Dialga. Sadly, however, you cannot get Arceus without a cheat code which is not advisable as it probably will mess up your game.
Also, there are some legendary pokemon I don't know about, so yes, there are more legendary pokemon than I've said. Finally, there is no pokemon in platinum where you must use a master ball to catch it.
Most awesome to me is the availability of pokemon and the new ways of finding them. The graphics also, now literally almost 3D, are off the charts amazing. Although this game, like diamond and pearl, bear the glitch functions to different codes and such, which cause damage to the game, the game in itself is a wonderful turnout as you really don't need the codes.
I have to be honest, playing 3rd generation pokemon games, and lower, and then playing 4th generation, especially platinum version, blew my mind away.
For anyone unsure of which games are best out of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, I highly recommend Platinum; as it contains all the pokemon on both diamond and pearl and much more. Platinum is filled with even more characters, events, and fun games as well. Everything in Platinum from beginning to end is totally amazing thing. Pokemon platinum, in my opinion, is a five star, need to get game for any pokemon fan.
In closing, a few last things:
1. The game has no original flaws or glitches without cheat codes or such.
2. Cloning, as I have found out from other sources can damage your game, and by damage, I mean it can erase your game file and make you start over again. Thus, again, cheat codes highly not recommended.
3. On a lighter note, take time to enjoy the game, it really is fun, and is probably the best, or one of the best pokemon games ever made. In my opinion, the best.
4. For the Global Trade Station, you will need to be connected to the internet via cable or possibly a routers internet connection. (Router possibility is unconfirmed by me so do not expect that method to work based solely on my word).
5. As the trainer tips in the game say, talk to everyone you see, trust me, the rewards are staggering. Although, not everyone you talk to will give you something or tell you what you need to know, trust me, you still gain something from the conversation such as advice in the game or a new admiration for something. (If you don't care about the admiration of things or advice, please don't blame me or the game for discomfort as these things are put there to show a personal side to the game and are wonderful bits within the game).

Even though, I'm sure that there is an even longer list than I have written here to explain game details and how awesome the game is, I hope this review helps others and explains well enough for everyone.
All in all this game is a great find for any pokemon fan, and I hope everyone, old and new pokemon fans, can enjoy this game as much as I have.
Thanks for reading.
Update 9/13/11:

1. I have recently found out that it is possible to trade from the union room trading any pokemon at any level with any item or move to any pokemon game that pokemon platinum can trade to. This rule applies also to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I do not know however if this rule applies to pokemon Black, White, Heart Gold, or Soul Silver.
2. Trading in the underground or over the World Trading Station in Jubilife City you must connect through a router. Although, I have read something about using a cable, I have no idea how that works, however, I have found that the game states that it must be able to pick up wireless activity. By necessary inference, this implies that a router is used. I also believe that the game itself states this fact. However, although the Underground is, I think, but do not know, okay for trading from, the World Trading Center in Jubilife has been proven a non-advised route for trading pokemon. My advise for trading is like the old days. Try trading through the union room only. I know this takes away from the whole world trading idea, but, this will save your game from damage and/or wipe. Sorry for any trouble, but I just advise you meet up with friends you know, meet in the union room and trade their.
I think that's all I have for now, if I find anything else helpful I'll be back with a future update. Anyway, in the meantime, I thank you for reading, and hope this helped you.
