I own Pearl, is Platinum enough of an improvement over Pearl and Diamond to be worth buying? Or should I just wait for Black and White?
 
I have Pearl too. I never got Platinum because I didn't like the Pearl line and didn't think it would be too much different. However I have heard that it is really good.
I would recommend HG or SS if you haven't got one of them yet though.
 
At this point you may just want to go with either HeartGold or SoulSilver, instead.

Platinum is a good improvement on Diamond/Pearl, IMO (and worth a purchase, if you really love Sinnoh)... but Hg/Ss have the advantage of being in an entirely new region, as well.
 
Oh to clarify, I already have Heartgold (which is awesome).

I didn't like Sinnoh all that much, but I like to play through my older games over and over, only keeping one save game (on the latest game I have) for all my best Pokemon.

Platinum is like Emerald of 4th Gen. Ruby and Sapphire were okay but Emerald was just overall the better game. But I wouldn't waste my money on Platinum if you've already beaten Pearl, I would go out and buy HG or SS(assuming you don't have them) or wait for B&W because buying Platinum with HG/SS out and B&W coming soon isn't worth the money in my opinion.
 
The main reason to buy platinum (from my standpoint) is the tutor moves and the battle frontier, both of which are in HG/SS. Otherwise, all it has are some legendaries. which is pointless to get the game for.
 
I have Pearl and recently bought Platinum. Platinum is better.

New region ? You mean ancient region.. It goes all the way back to the very first region too.

Personally Heart gold isnt as fun as Platinum was for me.. Iv Just beat the Elite four and still have alot more to do with the other 8 gyms and other stuff, but still.. The game is to easy and kinda short compared to platinum.

The Elite four the first time is only around level 40.. In plat they are like around 50 and 60
