Am I missing something here? Is Platinum worth playing? Because I see a lot of people rank it up really high nowadays.

The third versions usually make up for the orginal two versions mistakes.
I would rank gen 3 and 5 way fucking lower if it weren't for Emerald and B/W2

Gen 4 is highly rated because of Platinum and Hg/Ss. No one likes D/P.

When it comes to Sinnoh, it's generally recommended that you play Platinum as it fixes some issues found in Diamond/Pearl.

Yes. I felt the exact same way about D/P. Platinum improved a lot of little things down to your opponent's team and of course added enough features for me to keep playing. It's still Sinnoh meaning it still has its shitty cross-gen evo, with almost no new fire types too, filled dex but nothing can be perfect I guess.

It fixes its two biggest sins (game speed and shitty regional dex).

Though Gen 4's popularity also comes from HGSS being godly remakes.

Someone had gifted me Diamond for one of my birthday, barely touched Diamond and could barely get through it when I played it, I spent way more time playing FireRed/LeafGreen/Sapphire than Diamond so I didn't get to get use to the Pokemon and the 4th gen mechanics,but I still put 400 hrs into HeartGold. I didn't bother getting gen V because I really didn't like the new design, the last gen Pokemon design that I really like are from 3rd gen.

When the games came out, I hated the designs, the story, even the berét.
Then I played platinum, and I fucking loved it. Fire red/leaf green, emerald, HG/SS, and platinum are the best in the series imo.

Don't believe them, OP. Platinum is BETTER, but it's still fucking trash.

GF didn't really fix the problems DS Pokemon had until Gen5.

Different people have different opinions?

Personally, I hated Diamond. It's the only Pokemon game that I've never beaten, because I dropped it in disgust by the 6th or 7th gym. Couldn't even bring myself to finish it.

Platinum is better, but that's only because D/P are generally agreed to be the worst games in the series. Platinum as a Pokemon game it's still lackluster overall since Sinnoh as a region requires a copious amount of HM usage and still suffers from terrible design choices like Defog. Lastly, the 'main draw', the Distortion World, feels like an empty, extended cutscene.

I don't personally like saying HG/SS are in gen 4 because they're leagues better than D/P/Pt. GF must've had a change in staff if they wen't from making the worst games in the series to the remakes that still hold up today.

As for people saying it's good, well, I think it's a mix of the phenomenon that people will hype up the games they think are getting remakes next, as well as the fact that there's a much larger number of underage on /vp/ these days, D/P are or are near 10 years old so these kids started on it and therefore think it's good.

Anyway, just drop Pearl, it's not worth it.

Tell us what you don't like about Pearl and we'll tell you if Platinum fixed it. If it's the game speed: Platinum is faster, thankfully, though still not as streamlined as the newest gens. If it's pokemon distribution, Platinum fixed some of it but is still imperfect. If it's Sinnoh in general, and that annoying as hell HM usage, you won't like Platinum either.

I skipped Platinum because Diamond was so much of a chore.
But now that I've played Platinum, I want to replay it despite all the fucking HMs in this slow region.

Same story here. I can't even go back to replay DP because it's so fucking slow, but Platinum is great.

Mostly true. Why else would GF release Gen 5 on the same platform? Gen 5 was awesome all around. Platinum is better than P/D like Emerald and Crystal.

Platinum, along with BW2 and HGSS, have been agreed to be the best Pokemon games on /vp/ for YEARS.
