I know quite a lot of us already have either Diamond/Pearl, or both. But do you think You'll get Platinum? I already preordered mine, ans since I hate the single file thing (which unfortunately more and more games are getting) I might go ahead and preorder a second copy. In gamestops/EBgames, if you preorder your copy, you get a Special Giratina origin Forme action figure. If I preorder a second copy, I'll do it in a different store... just to have 2 action figures (collectors might buy one for high $$$ on ebay hehehe) And since I have one Broken DS and I just sold the other (which was broken too, and is currently at my GF's home, since his dad might be able to repair it)) I might get a new DS this week, that is if I can't get a 60 or 120 GB hard drive for my Xbox 360 (stuck with a 256 memory unit is very lame). Also, I had my Emerald file corrupted somehow, so I'll get more and more pokemon to send to Platinum... anyways... enough of my story. Are you gettting it? Or have you imported it from Japan already?.
I personnally think the return of the Battle Frontier AND the upgradable Elite 4 will make it worth the purchase.

Yes I am going to get the game. That is IF it freaking comes out in England in time! I wish they would specify dates well in advance. I hate it when we get the game after everyone else so people in our country have no one world wide to play with via Wifi as everyone else is either; hacking, is too good to play or has finished with the game >_>.

Well, it may sound strange, but...
Same there. I highly doubt it, though. ;p (It'd have to be released in late April/early May)

i think you can preorder it right now... so it's most likely almost finished right now, which means we'll be seeing the game very soon...
i already have the japanese version, and I am very pleased with the game. Girantina is the BEST pokemon in the world for me cuz it's DARK and dragon!

Giratina is Dragon/Ghost not Dragon/Dark. As for getting Platinum, yes, just because I wanna play it for convenience's sake.

still, i can't remember the differences between those two sometimes... but i still like Giratina... Ghost is strong againts Ghost and Psychic, it is weak againts Dark and steel, and completely useless againts Normal. it also resist normal and fighting, and receive half damage againts grass Dark is strong againts Ghost and psychic as well, but is weak to fighting and bug, resist psychic and receive half damage from Dark.

I think i'll cry when platnium comes out. I'll do what I did with Pearl, but the game, but not have a DS (holy crap, are pokemon games a curse on my DS's!? They get destroyed a few weeks after/ or before this time, the trailers appear!) I will get the game though, and get a DS of my schools black market... Yeah....

Let me fix Arashi's statement... Ghosts : 2x damage against Ghost and Psychic, 1/2 damage against Dark and Steel, cannot attack Normal types, are immune to Normal and Fighting attacks, weak to Ghost and Dark. Darks : 2x damage against Ghost and Psychic, 1/2 damage against Dark, Fighting and Steel, immune to Psychic. Weak against Bug and Fighting attacks.
They're very similar when it comes to attacking, though their weaknesses are different. However, they cover up ALL their weaknesses, so if you get Ghost/Dark (Spiritomb may be an example), you are almost immune to 2x damage attacks.
... However, who'd be stupid enough to waste one turn to use Foresight? After that, you can hit ghosts with Fighting and Normal attacks, rendering Spiritomb/Sableye weak to Fighting. Just wondering, was there any type WITHOUT a legendary pokemon yet? I can think about Bug, Fighting and Poison.

Yes, I will be picking up the game. Same there. I highly doubt it, though. ;p (It'd have to be released in late April/early May) The European release date has been announced as May 22, 2009. Just wondering, was there any type WITHOUT a legendary pokemon yet? I can think about Bug, Fighting and Poison. Pokemon #493 actually solved that problem, in a way.

Too bad, then... -_-
And yeah, I guess it did. There is no legendary Pokémon that has any of types mentioned permanently, though.

There isn't. (I take back my previous comment)
Anyway, I'll get Platinum when it's released, my mate's got the Japanese version, and now I want it. Really badly too.

See grass anywhere? I don't, but maybe it is just me. Just wondering, new features will be : - New forms of Giratina, Rotom and Shaymin - Battle Frontier - Catching both Dialga and Palkia in the same game - Team Galaxy changed - Elite 4 upgrade Anything else worth mentioning?

New Gym's as well (and by this, I mean new layouts and edited Pokemon for the leaders), along with new sprites. And of course... The Torn World, the highlight for me!
