Advantages: Hours of playability Disadvantages: A lot of the the storylines have been done before
them
in Pokemon contests, another new feature to the game, but not one necessary
to complete it.
The best thing about the Diamond and Pearl games is that once you have
completed the game, there is still a lot more to do. You can try trading
with friends or with people around the world to find new pokemon and train
these up. There is also the option of importing pokemon you have caught
from previous Gameboy Advance games. Battle Tower to visit, a place where
you can battle against the strongest players across the world, and you can
go back through the game and replay a lot of the trainers you have fought
already, including the Elite Four, again and again as many times as you

Advantages: Loads of things to do, Lots of Multiplayer Features, Wi-Fi Disadvantages: You cant possibly catch them all,

This is the point though, to ...

Diamond and Pearl, Platinum is almost a different adventure. If you've played either of the first two games then this may be worth a purchase as well if you're a fan, with enough new features, as well as a varied story line, to keep the game fresh and new, though some may find it not different enough. If you have not played any of the three games then it is undoubtedly that Platinum is the best.
The Gameplay
The idea behind the game is very simple. You start with one of three Pokémon (in this game they are a fire monkey called Infernape, a water penguin called Piplup and a grass turtle called Turtwig) and you advance in the game battling other trainers, and catching wild Pokémon to give you a better team. You battle to advance the story line, both the bad guys, Team Galactic, and the Gym Leaders, difficult trainers in each town. This hasn ...
