Well that didn't take long. Man, I just GOT Pokemon Diamond. I had already lost faith after they had started gluing random animal and alien parts together and calling them new Pokemon, but decided to pick it up and give my old flame another chance.

Platinum will be my first Pokemon game. Will it be different (more awesome?) than the Diamond/Pearl editions?

Like all "third version" games (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald), it will introduce new features and stuff not in previous games (Red/Blue, Gold/Silver, Ruby/Sapphire). One of the biggest additions to Platinum is the Sinnoh Underground can now be explored with online friends, not just local multiplayer.

Legendary Pokémon Giratina (pictured) and Shaymin (one of the "secret" Pokémon) will have new forms when caught/used in Platinum. Shaymin (normally a Grass-type) gains the Sky Form, where it becomes a Grass/Flying-type. Giratina changes into the Origin Form, which the special properties of is not yet known.

And then there's probably some other things I can't think of at the moment.

Damn Nintendo and its Pokemon. I tried to stay away from buying anymore Pokemon games, and somehow it lured me back into it.

I stay away by staying busy, otherwise i'd still be neck-deep in Stark Mountain, fighting my way out (no escape rope, last i remember) so that i can enjoy the shiny Graveler i caught

Fortunately, Okami and FFTA2 will help keep me off it for a while :)

Picked up Diamond for my fiancee, but I don't have a copy of my own, so I'm going to wait until Platinum releases.

I waited for Emerald on the GBA before.. Not entirely sure what the difference was (I think you can get all the Pokemon without trading, right?).

Anyway, I'm actually not fond of that boxart, but as long as it's more than just a logo, I'm happy enough.
