>higher level elite 4>npcs use better teams that aren’t monotype slop>less linear by not forcing you to go to iron island for strength and allowing you to sequence break the gyms>random ai that always keeps you on your feet and is less predictable>rewards exploration better; gible under cycling road instead of spamming gabite in victory road >better sprites- see quagsire>gamecorner slots not censored by jews All platinum does is ruin Masuda's original version of Sinnoh by making it an edgy fanfic romhack with the distortion world and adds ugly bastards like Magmortar to the dex.
Faggots cannot quantify what makes Diamond and Pearl 'Slow' and what makes Platinum or HGSS faster, these are children's turn-based RPGs taking 2 more seconds to KO an opponent doesn't really matter.
