Platinum Version: March 22!

[Negai Boshi]

Pokémon Platinum version's set to be released in the US on March 22, 2009. I can't be sure for other countries, but I'm excited. Maybe this'll perk some activity in the guild????

It looks great, but I don't think I'll be getting on that boat.  

[krishnath]

You know I am going to get it.  

[Negai Boshi]

Me too! But now I'm stuck figuring out which starter I want. I chose the only one I really liked on Diamond version....And I don't know if I'm gonna play as a boy or a girl....  

[krishnath]

Oh, you know I am gonna get the penguin again. It is the most useful for the first gym after all. But then again, the grass starter is pretty good against the first gym as well... Decisions, decisions.

I usually go for the fire type, which never turns out to be useful early on. But I had Chimchar on Diamond, so maybe Piplup for Platinum....

I had Piplup on Diamond and Turtwig on Diamond, so I will probably end up with Chimchar on Platinum and pick up an early grass type to help with the first gym.

Hmm, you're so much more strategic than I am. I've never bothered with type advantages for the first gym, I just train my Pokemon til they can beat them. In the 1st Gen ganes, I would always catch 3 Pidgey or Pidgeotto, plus a Nidoran and whatever else I could find, then use each Pidgey's Sand Attack over and over til the opponent had almost no accuracy. Then I could slowly Tackle it til it Fainted. Geodude took the first Pidgey, Onyx took the other two....Useless little strategy, but it worked, and I tried it in Diamond too. It's fun. ^-^ But I won't have to do that with a Grass or Water starter.....

I'm totaly psyked for PLatinum. Not only does it have a diffrent storyline, but I think the female char's new outfit is increadibly cute. Plus, it comes out on my birthday!!! Thank you nintendo for the most awesome birthday pressent ever, even if I DO have to pay for it myself.

You were forced to do that in yellow. Oh, what a glorious battle that was!

Ah, yes. *remembers Yellow version* I stormed through nearly the entire game with a Butterfree ^^ Terrible strategy, I know, but I was only about 7 when I played it. My mind had little room for gaming strategies back then ^^"

As for Platinum, I plan on reserving a copy so I can get that Giratina figure. 3nodding I don't know what starter to pick, though. I'll probably pick Turtwig, then transfer over one of my Piplups or something from Pearl.
