About The Game
A new world has appeared in the Sinnoh region: the mysterious new Distortion World, where the normal rules of Time and Space don't apply.
Discover never-before-seen forms of powerful Pokémon. Beyond Time and Space lies a Pokémon unlike any other: Giratina™ Origin Forme. Players can witness an epic encounter between Legendary Pokémon. Travel across the Sinnoh region catching, training and battling with Pokémon.
Players who have wireless broadband access can explore the new Wi-Fi Plaza, a virtual Pokémon amusement park filled with activities, including three new mini-games where up to four players can compete at once. Up to 20 players from around the world can connect together in the Wi-Fi Plaza to experience games, take part in parades and even see a fireworks show.
The Global Terminal is where online players from all around the world can come to post their Pokémon for trade to other players without ever meeting or talking to them. This allows for a greater variety of Pokémon a player can collect, and also allows them to get Pokémon from other countries. Players can also use the new Vs. Recorder, which allows them to save and post "videos" of their most exciting battles online for everyone to see.
Enhanced Storyline: New characters add to the story, including Looker, a member of the International Police who is in pursuit of Team Galactic. Looker helps players throughout their adventure. Team Galactic has a nefarious scheme: They turn their sights on the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh - Dialga™ and Palkia™ - when the powerful Giratina also enters the picture (all three Pokémon appear together in this game for the first time).
How to progress through the game: Travel across the Sinnoh region catching, training and battling with Pokémon. Players must stop the evil plans of Team Galactic on their journey to become a Pokémon Master.
Additional Features: Battle and trade Pokémon via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection. Players can connect with Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version (each sold separately) or import Pokémon from the Game Boy™ Advance games (Pokémon Ruby Version, Pokémon Sapphire Version, Pokémon FireRed Version, Pokémon LeafGreen Version and Pokémon Emerald Version) to complete their Pokédex.
Characters: Giratina, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup and hundreds of other Pokémon.

Well I managed after some time to "catch 'em all" on Pokemon Pearl. Hooray! So bring on Pokemon Platinum, that's what I say!
I LOVE THIS GAME!
this game is awsome and im getting tommorow and i cant wait its much better then pokemon diamond and pokemon pearl!!!!!!!!!!! all u pokemon pokemon fans out there u should buy this game (its the best pokemon game out thats y im buying it)
sorry im not buying it im buying yo gi oh 5ds
crazy nintendo guy say what?!
Want dis gameee
Looks like an awesome game. I already beat diamond,so i'm saving up to buy this. (is a lazy person, guhhh =3=)
BUY THIS GAME NOW!
I have at i downloaded darkrai and regigias so yea.
I'm so angry I should've bought platinum not pearl, platinum sounds like more fun and more features for the same price as diamond and pearl. But I'd hate to buy this game because it'd be like replaying pearl. Ugh.
THE GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Boy! If Platinum Was That Good I Can't Wait For Johto's
Comeback In Heart Gold & Soul Silver
P.S If Nintendo Moniters The Blog Then I Ask, Arceus, I Heard About The
Arceus Event In The U.S. Nintendo Will The Arceus Come To The U.K?
I`m probably getting this for chrismas.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Check out my cool avatar
how will i make this work on my 1gigabyte memory card
9:10 not as good as dp
Third versions of Pokemon games is like a Patch w/ DLC content. I hope the future Pokemon games would just use DLC so everyone does not have to buy same game again with least improvements.
i beat the elite four like 3 times i had all three starters fully evoleved at lv70 some thing well my first original starter turtwig well now tortera whitch is now lv 82
I beat it in five days...I feel like this was somehow the hardest pokemon game though
This is the only Pokémon game I have managed to beat. Probably because I usually derp in all my games
That's the best pokemon game to me, just because it is my first, I loved it and I'd still beat it if i could. Loving Giratina <3
This has got to be one of the best Pokemon Games of its time, and gave Sinnoh the respect it deserved if it didn't already. All from the improved story, new features (I.E Ball Capsules, Distortion World, New Forms, Battle Frontier, Villa, Etc.), expanded PokeDex, and more. It is honestly hard to say whats bad about the game. If you're looking to try out Gen 4, this is the game to do it.
To this day my best Save File is on Platinum
