Simply Pokemon
Pokemon Platinum is the anticipated 3rd installment into the 4th Generation of Pokemon games. It definitely lives up to its expectations. As with Diamond and Pearl, Pokemon Platinum deals with Pokemon in the Sinnoh Region and the evil Team Galactic. But this time, the evil leader of Galactic, Cyrus, has decided to not only summon Dialga and Palkia, but Giratina as well. This causes the portal to Giratina's dimension, known as the Distortion World, to open up all around Sinnoh. This creates a much colder environment, therefore Dawn and Lucas must wear much heavier clothing. The game has some slight changes in the story and dialogue, but the main changes in this game focus on two aspects: The Wi-Fi and the Distortion World. Wi-Fi is completely enhanced, allowing you to not only battle online, but play mini-games and do other such things over Nintendo Wi-Fi with your friends and/or random strangers. The Distortion World really pushes the graphics system in the DS and completely succeeds. Aside from those changes, other changes include Gym enhancements, a stronger Elite 4, and a Cafe' where you can fight Gym Leaders and other one-timer trainers. There are also 3 Pokemon who get different forms. The main one is Giratina, who now has his Origin Forme. Then there is Shaymin, who has access to a Sky Forme. Finally, there is Rotom who can change into a Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, or Freeze Forme. If you are a DS owner and do not own a copy of either Pokemon Diamond or Pokemon Pearl, then Pokemon Platinum is a MUST GET. But for those of you who have Diamond or Pearl, I would still suggest you get this game, as it is completely enhanced. But if you don't, that is your choice. All in all, Pokemon Platinum is a wonderful installment to the Pokemon Series and I highly recommend it.

Diamond and Pearl???
This game takes all that Diamond & Pearl has and makes it even better and it was my first Pokemon game for the Nintendo DS. It's a really great game especially if you're new to the handheld consoles like the DS or 3DS.

Pokemon Platinum continues the Famous Legacy
Throughout the years Pokemon has continued to be one if not the most original games out there, and Pokemon platinum does not disappoint. Experienced and new players can easily dive into the simple, classic game play and have an absolute blast. What makes this game so great? Tough puzzles, nail-biting battles, beautiful environment, and gripping story line keep every second fresh and fun. Besides this Nintendo has really hit gold with the enormous array of new exciting Pokemon. I loved every second of this game and have completed it with relish. My advice; skip Diamond and Pearl and get Platinum, it offers an overall better Sinnoh Region experience anyway. Pokemon Platinum is a great game that will amaze players of all ages!

Excellent
I bought this game at my local gamestop even though it didn't come with the case (thats a big deal to me ha). I am used to the old pokemon games, pokemon yellow to be more specific. I had no idea what pokemon that were featured in this game and when I started playing I was amazed. It seems like they have put pokemon from all generations and possibly included new ones! I instantly fell in love with this because I new a large amount of pokemon included and many were my favorites! The music is absolutely beautiful. It fits the atmosphere flawlessly. The graphics had improved ten fold from the games that I was used to. The animations are sharp and it proves to be challenging. I've only had the game 2 days and I have already put in 15 hours into it! The only thing I don't like is that I still have to trade to get some of my favorite pokemon, such as alakazam and gengar.
