It's the little things that put Platinum a lot of the ways ahead of DP, from the graphical improvements to some campaign balance changes. I still wouldn't want to replay it, I've got similar problems with USUM and I like that shit way more.
>>53999167No? RBY is okay for a playthrough, but between lack of easy online, lack of postgame content in general, the campaign just being okay if you skip a lot of the optional content in the middle, and the general fuckyness of the actual mechanics means that base RS beats it solely on the campaign alone, and Emerald just adds more better stuff on to that. B2W2 is there more for the experimental side content, I don't think the campaign is anything other than solid. I also mentioned HGSS in my post earlier, and I'd like to clarify that as a recommendation as well, I think I prefer it to B2W2 but that could easily change based on the day. Emerald doesn't quite hit all my tastes but it's objectively a more solid game in more areas, but the over world graphics are ass and the Battle Palace is a war crime.
