Pokemon Platinum is OUT!

At least it is in America.

I'm not getting it, but let's discuss anyway!

Which are you guys most excited for, The new forms, the new 1-P modes (Torn World, Frontier, etc.), or the new WiFi modes?

If I ever get it, It'll be for the 1-P stuff, which is why I always get pokemon games.

Yeah, Wi-fi is always unpredictable with Pokémon games so 1P is more exciting for me. Platinum is actually adding quite a lot considering how much other things (emerald for example) added.
Did platinum just come out today in America then?

it came out a while ago in America no?
I probably wont buy it - I only wifi (i dont even do that anymore, only once in a while for a friend) so it would be a pain transferring all my guys

No, lol. It came out today. Or yesterday. IDR.

Well i already have it and its fun, really fun. The Torn World is great and the Battle Frontier is fun too... I even got 2 Symbols ^_^

:O I was not planning on even looking at Platinum but with all these positive glowing reviews.......

It has positive glowing reviews? Are you talking about professional reviews, or us?

Both
Everyone is saying how brilliant it is (8.8 on IGN.com :O)

Wow. I'm too poor, but If I ever have extra money I'll buy it. (yeah, right...)

actually come to think of it, the battle frontier could be quite a useful thing to do on long car journies (it takes me 8 hours to drive to our apartment in france, where we go most holidays)

nice.


I actually think I might get it sometime. And then I could start doing wifi battles too!

yeah do that! then we can battle.
i love my team. it took me like a year to make right but its like 51-2 or something ridiculous =D

Woa. Actually, my dad owes me $40. When he gets paid I could have him buy it for me! (even though I already have diamond, so I don't necessarily need platinum to wifi.

Question-
For someone who has it, do the new forms still not appear on wifi?

i might check this game out five years from now when i see it used at gamestop for like five bucks. i'd just borrow it from a friend but for whatever reason the pokemon gods created a rule banning more than one file per game cartridge.

oh so to answer your question im not excited for it.

Lol. Emerald still isn't five bucks. Neither is Crystal. I want cheap games though...

OMG! You are so right. I've forgotten how much i hate only having one file on the pokemon games. Its such a pain when you have to share and make sure the person doesnt save over your game.

Lol. I'm not a computer person, but wouldn't that take a lot of memory or something? I mean, there has to be SOME good reason they only let you make one file, right?

unless im totally crazy, there's way more than enough memory on a ds cartridge to fit more than one pokemon file on one card. i dunno what kinda memory chip ds cartridges use, but you can fit twenty plus different ds games on a hella tiny 2 gig micro sd. so there aint no excuse for not putting multiple pokemon files on a single cartridge.

Pokemon games take up alot of memory. Considering how many pokemon you can have, how many items there are in your bag, how many items are left somewhere in the world, the trainers you've beaten and the ones you've yet to challenge...etc.

But like I said, I'm not a computer person. Maybe they just want there to be one file. Like AC.

You won't get it in the recession (stupid banks :@)

Won't get PLatinum in the recession? I'm lost.

Apparently so am I!
I totally lost the plot
