Pokemon Platinum Review

Intro

A remake of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, no new adventures, but full of unique and new features.

Story

You start out as a Pokemon trainer in Twinleaftown, soon discovering your rival and afterwords, choosing your starter Pokemon. A villinous team of grunts are searching for the most powerful Pokemon; Though a new pokemon lurks the sinnoh region, darkness crowds it's haven, everything in reverse, it's land; a puzzle....Giratina!

Gameplay

As always, you are to collect 8 badges in the Sinnoh region as well as defeating the Elite 4, througout the game you will have to stop Team Galatic. New features in the game would be the Pokeplaza which I much enjoy, and a new Pokemon introduced in the game; Giratina. Giratina is basically the star of the game and is tricky to find. You must pass a sort of Land-Puzzle, which you then find Cynthia and the team galactic leader, Cyrus. The wifi features are the same as Diamond and Pearl except for the Pokeplaza which allows you to play with people worldwide in minigames or stop by and have an automated chat which discribes what the user play's or does in his or her ordinary life such as sports or what type of Pokemon they like (it's a good thing it's automated XD). There's also a Myster Gift feature as well as the wireless poffin making feature which was unchanged.

Graphic's and Appearance

The game is displayed in a format much lighter than Diamond and Pearl, what I mean is that the game is displayed colorfully and more brighter than it's older versions.

Overall

  • Gameplay: 10/10
  • Story: 10/10
