What's the difference between Pokemon Platnium and Pearl/Diamond?

Question

I already have Diamond but is it worth getting Platnium when it comes out?

Answer 1

in platinum, you get giratina instead of dialga/palkia. you should check here for more info:

Answer 2

Wi-Fi:

The Global Trade Station building is gone, replaced with the "Global Terminal" building (since you won't only be trading now)

There is a new "Wi-Fi Club" where you can play new mini-games with up to 20 friends

One of the games involves a Swalot and berries, presumably to make Poffin

As revealed previously, you can play in the Underground with your friends over Wi-Fi

The basements of each Pokemon Center are completely revamped

Game Mechanics:

A new feature is the "Battle Recorder," which records your battles and broadcasts them around the world

There is a new "Battle Frontier" with many different areas, and it is located where the Fight Area in D/P was

Pokemon will have new battle sprites, as we mentioned in a previous news story

The back sprites of Pokemon will be animated

Pokemon:

Giratina Origin Forme's ability is Levitate

Giratina is only in its Origin Forme in the Reverse/Torn World, but there is a way of inducing its Origin Forme outside that is not known yet

Shaymin Sky Forme's ability is Serene Grace

As we mentioned in a previous story, Shaymin will transform into its Sky Forme when exposed to the key item "Glacidia's Flower"

Story:

Team Galactic is stronger and plays a larger role in the story

Cyrus summons/confronts Palkia and Dialga, and then apparently Giratina right after

An international police team is hunting Team Galactic (that detective guy from those first Platinum images is one of them)

Team Galactic has a new executive (the other old man from the first Platinum images)

Based on this, I would definitely get it. However it won't be released until the spring of 2009. If you liked how Emerald replaced Ruby and Sapphire, then I would get Platinum.

In addition to all the things said above, Platinum has a new HP Bar design and a somewhat different story line by having an area called the Torn World.

Answer 3

If you are a Pokemon fan its a need to have Pokemon Platinum

Pokemon Platinum has this features:

There will be a Battle Frontier as In pokemon emerald but better :)

You can Catch Origin forme Giratina and enter to his home the torn world that is designed using the 3-D capabilities of the DS.

There will be 2 new characters: a policeman hunting Team galactic and a New Team galactic member!

You can transform Shaymin into his Sky Forme using the Glacidea Flower( found in Floaroma town)

There will be a renewed GTS bigger and better!

AND MORE!

It comes out on 2009 on US

Hope i Helped ;)

Answer 4

The feature pkm in platinum is giratina and there are a few extra features. but, i don't think you should get it because it is pretty much the same storyline. its how emerald was for ruby/sapphire.

Answer 5

The starring Pokemon is now Girantina and at the spear pillar Dialga and Palkia are there and then Girantina drags them into the torn world, where u catch them. Volkner quits being a gym leader, the GTS gets updated, there is a wi-fi underground, and a Battle Fronteir in place of the Fight Area.
