>Diamond/PearlGen IV, new region and pokes. Somewhat slow so most people prefer the third version. Did revamp the battles by making each attack now a physical or special rather than relying on the type itself.
>PlatinumAnother definitive version this time of Gen IV. Tweaks a few things and throws in some badly needed fire types. Slightly different plot near the end. A New Battle Frontier is added.
>Heart Gold/Soul SilverRemakes of Gen II. Includes crystal's extra plot and several additional features, including Platinum's Frontier. New gym leader rematches and some extra scenes developing your rival. Each leading pokemon will also follow you like Pikachu in Yellow did.
