Description

In Pokemon Platinum, players will encounter the mysterious new Distortion World, an area unlike any seen in a Pokemon video game before. The Battle Frontier area (first introduced in Pokemon Emerald) has been added to Sinnoh, containing five new Battle Facilities for Trainers to challenge, each with its own special rules. Players can explore the new Wi-Fi Plaza, a virtual Pokemon amusement park filled with activities, including three new mini-games where up to 4 players can compete at once.

  • Distortion World: The normal rules of time and space don't apply to this world, allowing the area to push the limits of the Pokemon game world. Players leap from pieces of land suspended in midair, walk sideways and even upside-down. The Distortion World, where the powerful Giratina resides, is somehow connected to the regular Pokemon world.
  • The Battle Frontier: The Battle Frontier area (first introduced in Pokemon Emerald) has been added to Sinnoh, containing five new Battle Facilities for Trainers to challenge, each with its own special rules. Each facility is run by one of five new Frontier Brains (characters that are similar to Gym Leaders). The new battle formats in each facility allow players to challenge themselves in new ways.
  • Wi-Fi Plaza: Players can explore the new Wi-Fi Plaza a virtual Pokemon amusement park filled with activities, including three new mini-games where up to 4 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.
  • Enhanced Storyline: New characters add to the story, including Charon, a new Commander of the villainous Team Galactic (who is suspicious even by their standards) and an undercover detective, codenamed Looker, who is in pursuit of Team Galactic. Looker will help you throughout your adventure. Team Galactic has a new scheme they've turned their sights on all three Legendary titans of Sinnoh Dialga, Palkia and Giratina (all three Pokemon appear together in this game for the first time).

5 stars "Great game"
I have the japanese version of this game and it is awesome (although i don't understand a word of it!) its really fun! You can catch new pokemon wih different forms and explore the torn world in search of giratina and when you beat the elite 4 you can go back to its lair and retrieve the item that changes it form (see cover)

5 stars "Alot to offer"
Pokemon Platinum features the most updates to any other pokemon game. The first magor change is that all pokemon have a new back animation. The second is pokemon trainer in the game have pokeball seals to add an extra flare to the battle. The third is a kind of new story line to diamond or pearl which is longer. And the fourth and final one I'll tell all the graphics have been overhaled to be a much more eye pleasing experience. In total there are 54 new things to discover and master. So will you catch them all?

5 stars "big improvement!!!!"
Pokemon Platinum trumps Pokemon Pearl and Diamond in every way. Better graphics, more storyline, new things to do, more pokemon to catch, more battles and a whole new area which takes the graphics of the nintendo DS to a new level. It's a must buy for fans of previous games.
