I lost this game exactly 7 times and each time bought and beat a new one at the Gamestop I hope they didn't recognise me when I was 12
did diamond and pearl justice. still the slowest gen in the series game mechanic wise but amazing story and amazing difficulty. def is #2 under emerald ofc.
Recently completed another playthrough for this game and it is on the top end of good Pokemon games. Great region, great starters and a good variety of Pokemon for gen 4.
Only thing I didn't like was probably navigating the Distortion World, though I'll say it was definitely innovative at the time until Black/White came out.
Enjoyment: 7.5/8
Replayability: 1/1
Graphics: 0.5/0.5
Sound: 0.5/0.5
Total: 9.5/10

The return to Sinnoh manages to marvelously smooth out the edges that Diamond and Pearl had while expanding the content of the region. I've really come to appreciate all things that the 4th generation has come to offer. A more solid pokemon roster, enhanced characters, and the Distortion World. I've come to love the difficulty curve this game has and all the sufficient lore this offers. Then again, for me, Pokemon has always had pretty good worldbuilding. All hail the almighty lord Arceus and the devil Giratina himself!

It's a good one I mean, but it's just nother one.
Este juego si que merece tener el maximo de estrellas.
Lo que este juego me afecto a nivel de niño de 10 años al que le acababan de regalar una cosa llamada DSi, no tiene parangon.
Joder, el giratina de los huevos si esta guapo. Tener tu casa debajo de la tierra minando y todo, buf.
No se, este juego creo que fue el pico del exito de los pokemon y hacia adelante, los pokemon blanco/negro aprendieron y ciertamente, mejoraron en muchas cosas.

Imagine someone handling you a broken glass, shiny and to some pretty but completely shattered into pieces, and they ask you to fix it while handling you only some spit and a bit tiny duct tape.
It can be hard to imagine how plausible it can be to fix this glass.... and yet mr. Giratina himself did it.
Pokemon Platinum takes the janky skeleton of Diamond and Pearl and fixes almost all of its issue, creating one of the best experiences in the Pokemon franchise.
The roster of mons is now more varied than ever, bringing a pokedex that is full of customization alongside some really cool new evolution fr some of the older monsters. The flew of the story, while not perfect, is much better and less confusing than the ones presented by Diamond and Pearl (Fantina is actually reachable without 10000 walks and loops now). The battles feels faster and more balanced, and the now evolved pokemon formula is fun as always, but also feels more balsnced because of the different changes included by the fourth gen (special and physical split alone is enough to ramp up the formula).
To this we had an incredible extra compared to what Dialga and Palkia showed us: the Distortion World is to this day one of the most stunning and impressive pokemon locations, and traverse it feels alienating, but thrilling and engaging. Even the villains got a more respectable showcase of their plan and motivations. The rest of the cast, including gym leaders, NPC and especially Cynthia have a lot more time to shine.
While not what I feel is the objectively best pokemon game, Pokemon platinum will forever be my favorite, and a must play if you are a fan of the franchise.
I still remember making my Torterra reach level 100 without the use of candies.... good times, man....

Oh yea
My first game on my first game system (DS)
A refined version of diamond and pearl, this game carried my child hood. From the soundtrack to the actual feel of legendary Pokémon, it makes me wish I had a Time Machine.
Best out of the 3, banging ass music and distortion world was amazing. Also love the winter setting way more
Melhor pokemon da história
Arguably one of the best in the series.
yuore so coel
eh
My favorite from my childhood, just perfect!
The only Pokémon game i've rage quitted and never picked up again. First off the game is too slow, the Pokémon you get are all pretty boring being as they require some bs requirement to evolve or they are just from a previous generation. The story, which is made for kids, takes on some lyrical spiritual religious world domination plan. This plot made no sense to my 10 year old mind at the time of playing. What happened to the easy to understand eco-terrorism of Ruby and Sapphire. Or the literal, easiest to understand, Pokémon thief's team rocket. Game freak was doing to much with the Sinnoh league. HM slaves are still required, contests are stupid, berries are stupid, the fossil underground was useless, and status conditions are still a tac in the rear end. Most of all though, YOU STILL HAVE TO GRIND SO MUCH. This game is just not fun, so once I lost to Cynthia, I just called it. This game sucks, worst Pokémon game. I will add, this is not some Gen Alpha review, I'm a zoomer that watched Diamond and Pearl on Cartoon Network from 2009-2014 (2014 when they moved it too boomerang; will say Paul is underrated).
