>>54588100Platinum is the better experience overall. If you don’t care for post game content or contests then BDSP is probably fine to play but not having any of the platinum added content and forced exp share still bothers me.
BDSP pros:
>ability patch and ability capsule grinding in post game to get hidden abilities or change a pokemons ability>mint grinding in postgame allow you to freely change a pokemons nature>elite four and champion fights are overhauled to be much more difficult>underground is revamped, better, has online, and you can find a lot of pokemon not normally available there including starters>you can make your pokemon follow you, however it is incredibly crappy and most can’t keep up with you>you have a few outfits you can customize your trainer with by the time you get to veilstone>gym leaders give multiple tms>HMs field moves are now just something you select from a menu to use instead of having to teach them to a pokemon, the downside is that its always bidoof that helps youBDSP cons:
>does not have any of the extra content platinum added, specifically the battle frontier>battle tower in post game removes the multi-battle feature you could do with a friend online>contests where overhauled to be a literal shitty minigame and are just a stat check now>exp share is forced on so you over level very easily even if you only fight trainers, this in turn makes the overhauled elite four feel less challenging than the original experience. To make this worse catching the pokemon now gives exp so you have to be careful with that as well>game corner removed from veilstoneIn short, unless you REALLY like any of the pros which to be honest its not much, platinum is a better experience as you get much more out of it with all the new content they added, specifically battle frontier which is a post game area full of battle facilities with interesting challenges.
