>>44592356I find the walking speed really relaxing, because it means I'm not forced to speed through everything and get to enjoy the immersion of the games. Newer games feel like they were made on crack and give you no chance to breathe, which breaks the enjoyment for me. Battle speed definitely did suck, but the hatred for the walking speed is overblown. I am biased though, because Pearl was my second Pokemon game, and I am an extremely patient person.
Beyond that, one tiny thing I like in DP more than Platinum is the intro and title screen music. I like the quiet, melancholy feel of both, and both are great foreshadowing to the Azure Flute and Hall of Origin themes.
