Video Game Reviews of Pokemon Platinum
Customer Review: Shyah!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a long time player of pokemon (I still have the origonal gameboy color games that came out. From red to crystal versions.), the whole reason I got a DS was so I could check out the new pokemon games. Nintendo did not disappoint! The new and old prospects of the game are a wonder to see. The graphics have come a long way since the pixelated red, blue, and yellow games. And the idea of digging around underground for the fossils and other items is to die for. Really addicting. Cool places to explore, and nice cutscenes.Customer Review: Excellent Game

If you like the previous Pokemon games, then you will like this one as well.Customer Review: Best Pokemon game I've played yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was around 11 or so when the original Pokemon games and cards came into existance (when the craze began). I collected the cards and played the Red and Blue versions on my gameboy. It was probably the most addicting game/franchise ever. But over the years I sold the pokemon cards and sort of lost touch with the series, only picking up my Red/Blue version every now and then. However, after buying my Nintendo ds, I was looking for a fun, addicting game that would keep me interested for longer than an hour. I heard great things about the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum versions for the ds and decided to give Pokemon another go.
I'm so glad I did. I haven't beaten the game yet; I'm only about 13 hours into it, but I do feel I've played it enough to talk about it. I'm not going to go into graphics/tech stuff. I'm not really qualified to do all that. What I will do is say how I pretty much can't put it down. There are a LOT of new pokemon to catch (remember, I've just played Red and Blue), while still keeping some of the favorites. I like the fact that you can play as a boy or girl, and the double battling is pretty neat as well.
Playing the Red/Blue version, I was just trying to beat the game, not going slowly enough to catch a lot of different pokemon or level up more than 2 or 3 different Pokemon. With this game, I find myself really trying to get a good and diverse team of Pokemon, instead of just using my starter. That's probably due to an increase in age and maturity, though (patience is a virtue). But I would suggest that all players do the same.
Ok, getting off my rant. If you're looking for a fun and addicting game, even if you've never tried Pokemon before, get this game. If you already have Diamond and/or Pearl, only get this if you are a hardcore pokemon fan. I'm assuming Platinum is pretty much the same as those, with minor additions (like Red/Blue/Yellow).
One more thing, is it just me or is the act of actually catching a Pokemon a lot more difficult than it used to be? I found that even with low level, easy pokemon, I would get it down in the red and it would still escape my poke-ball! Weird...
Customer Review: Solid Title, Hours of Addictive Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a long-time lover of Pokemon and I couldn't help feeling like this title was one of my favorites that I've played. I own Ruby and FireRed, and Platinum is just as good, if not better in some aspects.
Since it's a remake of Diamond/Pearl, don't expect a brand new story. I'm not exactly sure what features are different than those two but you can read about it [...]
One of my biggest complaints is the fact that it's very hard to get specific pokemon from the online trading service, as most players request legendary pokemon in return for more common ones. Also, some pokemon only evolve after being traded with certain items or without, and it is nearly impossible to recieve an identical pokemon (holding specific item, etc) over this service unless you are coordinating with a friend.
Haven't finished it yet, but quickly addicted.
Final impressions - good buy, if you like Pokemon (and didn't already play Diamond/Pearl) you'll love Platinum.
