This game is so good that I don't think half of its detractors have even played it. Every aspect of this game is high quality. It is absolutely, one hundred percent, one of the best, if not the definitive Pokemon experience.

>Every aspect of this game is high quality
The slow battle speed is high quality?
The slow menu speed is high quality?
The railroading and lack of exploration is high quality?
The tedious map design with pointless HM obstacles shoved everywhere is high quality?
The same wild encounters being spammed everywhere is high quality?
The poorly written story is high quality?
The awkward looking sprites that were lazily changed from DP are high quality?
The lack of online matchmaking is high quality?
The battle frontier that’s worse than Emerald is high quality?

What exactly is even good about this game? Why should I play it over other games?

Yes to all those questions.
>Why should I play it over other games?
Because they all have the same quality, therefore there's no reason to NOT play it over the other games.

Routes are pretty plain and barren with not much to explore
Towns are generic and boring
Story is in that awkward place where it tries to give important characters more characterisation and the plot more relevance but the actual script still barebones and gives them not enough screen time to flesh them out

Platinum excels in the gameplay department but the actual campaign feels half baked and boring. In my latest playthrough of each I found B2W2 to have much more personality and character than Platinum and the story, love it it hate, at least commits to fleshing out it's characters and events.

I played all of the way to the league, didn't really have fun between the HMs and general slowness/lack of variety. It was technically fine but just didn't feel good compared to other games.

What are you smoking dude? there's so much variety in the routes it's really continuing fleshing out nature from R/S/E
>story sucks
I hardly remember it and inclined to agree, i did drop it about midway before picking it up again two years later and now it's probably my favourite.
>>47703741
HMs are fucking dumb and the worst thing about the game but you can get away with using 2 HMmons (barely) like any other game.
Oh and yeah it's slow, too bad, it really does add up.

I just think it's a fun well paced main campaign with a nice dex, and the unova region is a great setting, I don't think the story is particularly great but it has its moments.

I'm talking about level design specifically. There's barely much to find beyond the main path, it's mostly items inaccessible until you get rock climb. Compared to b2w2 which, while having it's fair share of basic straight line routes, has a surprising amount of side areas and a few alternative paths that lead to different areas, like the route leading to chargestone cave having an entrance to mistralton cave which you can explore a sizeable portion of, or the abundant shrine and abyssal ruins or 2 completely new routes just west of route 1. The routes in Unova are surprisingly dense.

Why are you even acknowledging that point? Guarantee he's the guy who says you can't criticize XY's story because every story is bad but apparently it's fine to list that for games you don't like. Hypocritical dog.

>lack of exploration
You literally can't even see the entrance to Gible's cave in any Sinnoh game. Platinum adds Gabite at the back end of Victory Road but if you want a Gible this does nothing for you, because if you can't find Wayward Cave, you'd have to go out of your way to breed one, which is honestly still good game design.

Speaking of Wayward Cave, the entire Mira quest is optional.

>Railroading
Gym Leader order being changed / made mandatory doesn't really matter. Once you get to Hearthome-Solaceon Town there's tons of stuff you can do. You can get a lot of content out of all of the services and materials available to you up until that point; like the Explorer's Kit, Contests and Day Care.

In fact, biking back to Oreburgh to use the Museum and revive a fossil generates eggs and advances the state of eggs you're holding while also building friendship with the Eevee you got from Bebe and/or the Togepi you got from Cynthia should you decide to include them in your party, so the game is serendipitious in that way.

ok? and? where's the rest of the exploration?

no there isn't. The game is still railroaded as fuck compared to gen 1-3.

Platinum is part of the golden age. It's a solid Pokemon game with great content. Definitely one of the best.

you didn't actually demonstrate how the game isn't railroaded. You just listed backtracking and irrelevant side modes.

I wouldn't exactly call that 'tons of exploration' when most other routes are mostly devoid of meaningful exploration. I mean there's stuff here and there but hardly anything really interesting or memorable

Not to mention in Platinum you get that Eevee right away and can breed it with Bibarel or Bidoof since Solaceon Town is right next door. Then you can get all three of those Eeveelutions. They're pretty rare until you get the Nat Dex but if you feel like it, you could look around in the Underground for Evolution Stones. You can also find some Evolution Stones in the Solaceon Ruins right next to where you get Eevee, so you can get all of the Eevee evolutions besides Glaceon pretty quickly.
