I do like platinum. Got me back into pokemon as an adult in college so they always have a special place for me. Giratina is still probably my favorite legendary. They fixed all the problems d/p had: shitty small dex, slow surfing, barebones areas were fleshed out etc.
But its far from perfect. Sinnoh has this vague sense of blandness to it. Most of the new designs use dull colors and seem uninspired, the gym leaders are among the most forgettable only second to kalos, and most of the music is kind of slow jazzy elevator music that puts me to sleep, the evil team and its leader are really generic and cyrus just spews these trite banalities that make almost no sense. Overall platinum is well polished and has a lot of features and solid postgame, as well as maybe the best champion, but I don't find myself going back to it very often, and when I do I'm usually kind of bored.
