Pokemon Platinum

POKEMON PLATINUM

Now, for the third game in the Sinnoh Region, Pokemon Platinum is largely the same as Diamond and Pearl, just like Emerald, Crystal, and Yellow before it. There are a few slight adjustments, like a vastly improved regional Pokédex and Fantina being moved to the third gym leader slot above Maylene and Crasher Wake for some reason. New major characters include Charon, a scientist working for Team Galactic who acts as the post-game villain, and Looker, a Columbo/Tenth Doctor-inspired detective who becomes the Pokemon Company’s favorite post-game character for four generations. Sadly, neither of them have any major battles or known teams, so I’m a little torn on whether to include them or not in the Trainer System. I can’t just rely on the starter trio like I can for the professors, but it also feels weird to exclude them. Do you know what I mean?

New areas include the Distortion World, the world where Giratina lives, where everything is upside down and topsy-turbo, and a Battle Frontier has been added in the place of Battle Park. The Frontier Brains this time include Barry’s father Palmer, Thorton, Dahlia, Darach (butler of Gen V Elite Four Caitlin), and Argenta. And really, I think that’s about all that we need to cover this time.
