Okay, question.

I can get Pokemon: Pearl/Diamond for about $30. I can get Platinum for about $40.

What's the major differences and is P:P worth the extra cash?

Anyone know?

IIIIIIIIIIIIN MY OPINION
Platinum is ten times better than D/P. Some of the gym puzzles are different, the order the gyms go are slightly different, and it has a completely different ending...thing. I haven't found a change I haven't liked, though.

Yes rofl. B)

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention it has a different beginning and the outfits are ~totally moe~/better than D/P which is kind of the reason I bought it...

Personally I'm kind of Pokemon challenged since I haven't played any of the games since red/blue/yellow back in the day, but Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Pearl#Pok.C3.A9mon_Platinum) claims that it's an extended/slightly different version a la Yellow, and that there's more gameplay/better graphics than Pearl and Diamond.

ffffff I hated Yellow so much as a kid. But I didn't know it'd star Pikachu, so I was a dumb kid.

Hahaha, aww... I'll admit that I didn't make it very far in Yellow since I had played Blue (and had my memory erased. Fucking Zapdos >.> ) But, it came out when I had just discovered animu and the like (It came out in 1998-ish so I guess I was in 6th to 7th grade?), and I had a weakness for cute things. I still do, actually. ^^;;


Oh, hai, Hal!

I'd get Platinum, given the option. I think you'll like Inspector Douchebag (I never bother with his real name), and the cities get a little makeover and so do some gym puzzles and DSFARGEG so pretty. So fucking pretty I feel like I got stabbed in the eyes with a magic wand.
