Don't see much need to get it at the moment.
 
Must have Pokémon Platinum in the English Version. But we have got ages to go till it releases in English.
 
March 22nd isn't really ages... it's a bit more than 3 months at this point. Not to long a wait.
 
Oh boy, ascetic changes and a slightly altered plot. I'll stick with Diamond, thanks.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I'm adopting this sort of opinion. The only reasons I'd consider buying Platinum at this point is because the lack of closure with the Galactic plotline really pissed me off, so I can get Giratina without having to go through the hassle of Turnback Cave, and for the Move Tutors. But none of that is really substantial, and certainly not worth wasting however much money it will eventually cost to buy a game that I basically already have. Trading's what WiFi is for! XD
 
The only way I'd even begin to be interested in this is if they had included the 10 Colosseums from Pokemon Battle Revolution as part of the Battle Frontier. Instead, we even get a gimped Battle Frontier, too.
 
I don't know if I'll get this since I already own the Japanese version, but I do recommend it even if you already own Diamond/Pearl. The ascetic changes are pretty nice, torn world is pretty cool, and I love the wifi plaza. I haven't reached the Battle Frontier yet, so I can't comment on that compared to Emerald.
 
Hmm? You aren't getting this?

How lame. *yawn*

Seems like there is a lot of hubbub about it. I guess you can all play the new Mystery Dungeons when they come out in a couple of years... Have fun.

Gee, you're right. I should spend another $30 on a game I already have. Have fun buying re-release after re-release. Hey, maybe next they'll make a Pokemon game that comes with a PINK Pokemon on the cover and you can go give them your money for that! : D
 
I'm getting it for sure, just a matter of when. Though given it's March 22nd, 3 days before my birthday, it'll likely be a gift.

I rather like these 3rd games and I like what Platinum added.
 
I'm buying Platina not just because of the superficial reasons although the torn world looks sick.

I plan to start as Kouki with a different starter and if I had done this in my other unstarted game, it wouldn't feel as special.

Absolutely true!!!! Still, I'll get the game because I got robbed and lost my Diamond.

Strange; a few weeks ago everybody was bragging about how great was Platinum over Diamond and Pearl, now that it's official it seems as it is a pain in the ass.
 
March 22nd 2009, might be out by 2010 in Australia....
 
I love how everyone was so excited about Platinum and suddenly, when the option to buy it in English is a reality, people start whining about how much they don't need it. Just admit that you're broke, people.

Whatever, says I. Give me the Platinum, I'll be pretty much out of games the moment I finish Pearl and FireRed. And Torn World looks AMAZING.
 
I'll be getting the game but mainly for the new formes, even though I don't like some of them... (Rotom).

It does seem a little bad how the new BF looks shorter.
