  beware of fake copies

Beware when your buying a game that is used or that comes from Asia specially if you buy it for a DSi. There's a lot of fake copies out there that will work on a regular DS but not the DSi (Nintendo changed the system so bootleg copies will not be read).

  Gotta Catch Them All.... Pokemon!
Review created: 03/24/09(updated 03/24/09)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I'll be as quick and to-the-point as possible: there's just not a whole lot wrong with Pokemon Platinum, the latest installment in the multi-billion dollar empire that is the Pokemon video game series. What was a fad in the late 1990s and early 2000s has evolved into a genuinely engrossing RPG series that may be geared towards children, but is fun for all.

Though the gameplay is easy to get the hang of and the characters are friendly, this is in fact a very deep and complex RPG. There are 493 Pokemon that you can choose to raise, and each have their own move sets, abilities, natures and even personality traits that can and do make a significant effect on battles.

Pokemon Platinum is the ninth major Pokemon RPG game to be released for Nintendo's portable systems. This time, it's the so-called "third" or "special" edition for the Nintendo DS. Platinum, of course, comes a couple years after Diamond and Pearl versions, and thus completes the trilogy and the story arc. And as we've come to expect from the third edition, Platinum takes the best of Diamond and Pearl and mixes them together, while adding it own unique twists.

For example, Platinum has a slightly altered story arc. For some reason, the land of Sinnoh has grown colder, as evidenced by snow even in the far south of the region. But other regions, such as islands, have grown more desert- or tropical-like. In addition to the geography, the order in which the Gym Leaders are taken on has been switched around. Also shuffled around are Pokemon locations and items. Key items are in different locations in Platinum than they were in Diamond and Pearl. The biggest single addition to Platinum (again, this is an addition, not a change) is the return of Emerald's "Battle Frontier." This is a large amusement park-like place that has multiple events, battles and prizes to be had. You (the player) also receive your very own villa in honor of all your accomplishments.

The vast majority of the game, the battling system, is more or less the same as it was in Diamond and Pearl. The actual battle menu has changed in the form of a darker color palette, but that's it. The only real significant change affects the move Hypnosis, as the accuracy has been dropped to 60% in Platinum, when it was 70% in Diamond and Pearl. How this affects battling between the two editions is unknown. Most of the Pokemon that were available in Diamond and Pearl are also available in Platinum, and there are few, if any, move set changes.

There's really not a whole lot of reason to go in-depth on this review of Platinum. I guess the easiest way to sum it up is like this: If you've played Diamond and Pearl, you've played the majority of Platinum, as the only major changes and deviations of Platinum occur near the end of the main game. If you've never played Diamond and Pearl, then get Platinum. It's, obviously, the best Pokemon game ever made. And if you've never played any Pokemon game before, well, this is a great place to start. But understand that even with Platinum, you still won't be able to "catch 'em all" unless you also have Diamond and/or Pearl version. However, with the (much needed) addition of Wi-Fi battling and trading, it's also easier than ever to find someone who does have the other version(s).

Overall, Pokemon Platinum is a very enjoyable RPG for the Nintendo DS that will last a very, very long time. And despite what the graphics and gameplay may suggest, Pokemon Platinum is a surprisingly complex RPG.

This is an excellent game for Pokemon lovers. The game was easy to play and has a lot of very interesting and different moves. Although, the characters/letters are in Japanese version it is still easy to follow. I would recommend this to others that likes Pokemon. I decided to by this game because I like collecting Japanese stuff and I like Pokemon.

  POKEMON PLATIMUM VERSION - NINTENDO DS "BOOTLEG GAME"
Review created: 09/21/09
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I RETURNED THIS ITEM TO THE SELLER, AND GOT A FULL REFUND FROM HER. I KEPT THE ITEM SEALED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING, AND I NEVER OPENED IT. HOWEVER, I COULD TELL THAT THE LABEL WAS NOT THE AUTHENTIC NINTENDO FOIL LABEL. ALSO, THE AUTHENTIC NINTENDO BOX IS THIN AND BLACK. THE BOX SHE SENT ME WAS THICKER AND CLEAR. I WENT TO TOYS R US, WALMART, K-MART, AND TARGET TO VERIFY MY FINDINGS.
I WAS CORRECT THAT THE ITEM SHE SENT ME WAS NOT AN AUTHENTIC NINTENDO FOR DS GAME.
SHE WAS VERY COOPERATIVE, AND REFUNDED THE ENTIRE AMOUNT THAT I PAID HER. SHE ALSO STATED TO ME THAT SHE KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT WHAT SHE IS SELLING, AND THAT SHE WAS UNAWARE THAT IT WAS A BOOTLEG ITEM.
I EVEN EMAILED HER PRIOR TO BIDDING, TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT WAS AUTHENTIC, AND SHE ASSURED ME: "YES, IT IS JUST LIKE IF YOU BOUGHT IT AT WALMART". (NOT SO).

  Great Game
Review created: 09/11/09

I've been playing the Pokemon series since Red and Blue came out (not counting the pinball, trozei and dungeon series) and Platinum is great. I feel like the developers are almost running out of ideas though (How many friggin' Pokemon can there possibly be?!). They still manage to put out games that are definitely a step up from the last.

If you're a Pokemaniac like I am, then there's really no need for you to second guess whether or not you should get this game. Do it now!

  GAME DIDN'T WORK AND HE NEVER REAPONDED TO MY EMAILS!!!
Review created: 08/09/09
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

1. THE GAME DIDN'T WORK FROM THE GET-GO AND IT WAS NOT AS DESCRIBED. IT DIDN'T COME IN THE ORIGINAL CASE AND IT WAS NOT SEALED, GIVING ME THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS NOT A BRAND NEW/NEVER USED GAME.

2. MY GRANDSON WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THE GAME DIDN'T WORK.

3. HE NEVER RESPONDED TO MY EMAILS. I BOUGHT THE GAME 7/5 AND IT WAS BEING SENT FROM CHINA. I RECEIVED THE GAME 7/18. OK SO I WASN'T IN THAT BIG A HURRY FOR IT ANYWAY SO I DIDN'T CARE THAT IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET IT. MY GRANDSON TRIED IT IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT NINTENDO GAME PLAYERS. HE DIDN'T TELL ME RIGHT AWAY THAT IT DIDN'T WORK SO I DIDN'T TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE SELLER UNTIL 7/28/9. HE NEVER RETURNED MY EMAIL. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S ON VACATION BUT IT IS NOW 8/9/9 AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM. I WILL NOT GIVE HIM GOOD FEED BACK. I DON'T KNOW HOW HE MANAGED TO GET 100% POSITIVE FEED BACK

Although the item arrived here on time, I was disappointed to discover that it did not work. I do not believe it was an issue with my DS because I had just purchased it last week and had not played it yet. The posting offered nothing in the way of a refund nor did it indicate that anything might possibly be wrong with the cartridge. I am extremely disappointed and I would love to get my money back.

Review created: 12/01/09

I really liked this game. There are enough things different between this game and D/P that it is still interesting. The only thing I don't like about it is when you are trading in the GTS, you can't see what level pokemon the other people are wanting for what they are trading. The only thing it shows is the gender. Like if they are trading a level one boy Eevee for a level 10 girl Aipom the only thing you will see is a girl Aipom. You won't see the level 10 part.

I have a son who is still into Pokemon and with the economy this was a great buy and I will probably borrow it and play as well. I like the process of working thru the mazes and the rewards they get if they preform well not just getting a prize because they participated and they have the chance to go back and try again and improve on their skills.
