Pokémon Pearl Version was the first Pokémon game I played and owned. I love it so much, so naturally I was pretty excited when Nintendo announced Pokémon Platinum Version. I love all of the changes added to this game, and therefore, I love this game even more than Pearl. First of all, the game is faster than Pearl when it comes to battles, which does help making the game feel more smooth. Secondly, the story got an overhaul to the point that there is no reason to play Pearl for its story ever again. Now the story elements and battles are more exciting and more epic. Plus, it resulted in some amazing tunes, like Distortion World and Battle! Giratina, which are some of my favourite tunes in the entire series. Beating the champion at the end was extremely satisfying and I look forward to the post game content!
