HeartGold is my favorite Pokémon game of all time so I was interested in playing the actual Gen 4 games. Platinum has the same appeal as Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald before it: it combines the two other games and creates a more streamlined experience with some improvements and new content. This is a top ten Pokémon game: the Gen 4 Pokémon are cool, I like the graphics and music, and I appreciate that this game actually has some difficulty, unlike most of the entries in the series.
