Just got this game this morning and opened it up and played it immediately. Great great game a definite improvement over Diamond and Pearl, Faster Battles, More Pokemon and an extended storyline make this a must have for all pokemon fans old and new. Now bring on the gold and silver remakes please

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.

I really enjoyed the changes they made to some of the gyms, it gives the game more sticking power. its a game that you can never get bored with, even after beating the pokemon league there is still lots of stuff you can do. i recommend this game to everyone
