Hm... Nintendo sure is great at sucking an extra fifty bucks out of us. Those monsters. I planning on getting Platinum as I'm a hardcore pokefan. I completely agree about the "accesablility to all four continents" idea.

Platinum should be sweet. I love Giratina's new look! But Nintendo needs to step it up and get all four areas in one with an interlocking storyline and extra missions after you beat the game. Hey Nintendo, get me in your studios and i'll help you make the best Pokemon game of all time!

Oh, and a Wii game would be nice. One like Colloseum but better. That was a great game.

They should make a string of all the regions put together, starting with Kanto to Johto to Hoenn to Sinnoh and then to a final completely new region. Between each region you should have to deposit all your previous Pokemon in a PC. You should than start off like the beginning of a new game and choose a new starter. Then you can gain access to your old pokemon based on their level and the amount of gym badges you have in the current region. Then, for the final elite four, it should be the Champion from each region and then the final champion should be the original pokemon trainer- party is Arceus, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Deoxys, Mew, and a new pokemon that is the master of all of them. Also, there should be a battle frontier in every region. Finally, you should have one constant rival throughout all of the regions and a minor rival for each seperate region.

i don't know if i should get this game...it looks fun but it is just Pokemon pearl and diamond in one like sapphire and ruby is emerald. Well i don't know if they should continue the DS games instead they should make an Xbox game where u can play live or local and u walk around in a third person view and you can see all the Pokemon around you like Pokemon ranger. Then when you walk into a Pokemon u battle it and catch it! i think that would be awesome!! And then you can be online with other people and talk to them, battle,trade, and play games! and you can customize your person like Pokemon battle frontier.

I loved and enjoyed DP so much, but I have to admit Platinum made DP look bad! This is an ok game. I think they were in a rush to make this game. And some of the stuff in Platinum suck a little.

I think I'll get it, hoping to enjoy the new content enough.....but the linking regions would be a dream come true, or at least the Gold remake coming up.

I have had the pokemon games for a month now
and i give it two thumbs up. The best that i
like about platinum is the online features of the game.

There IS a gold/silver remake coming out: HeartGold/SoulSilver! I'm just gonna wait for those to get another Pokemon game.
Oh and Conman93, everyone has been asking for a Pokemon MMO for years, but I don't think Nintendo's likely to give us one right now. And I wouldn't want to use a Mii as a trainer- they're not serious-looking or cool enough. A customization thing like Battle Revolution would work well, I think.

I believe that the Pokemon Strategy games are by far the greatest strategy games of the late 90's early 21st century nintendo games. Having said that, I belive that if the gaming world wants to cover their tracks with this game then i belive they are just trying to perfect what is already perfected. At the same time they are suceffuly accomplishing what they are attempting, If you are an avid gamer then you can trade out the certain ones and create an avid arsenal of Pokemon to battle thereafter. In a nut shell i believe it is necessary!
