>I have never played a fourth generation Pokémon game
I am curious about Platinum because I have heard that it's actually good.
What is the verdict on this game?
it's good
Fucking play it. It's another fucking genwar thread, end yourself.
>asking /vp/ on their opinion on anything

Kinda slow, but good enough.
>>32279000
It sux
>>32279000
Up there in the trinity of best games along with Emerald and B2W2.
>>32279000
regional dex is garbage aside from the good gen4 mons, but it has alot of content
>>32279000
Not may favourite but it was definitely memorable.
It's good. You might as well play this over Diamond and Pearl.

I tried it for the first time a while back and I thought it was pretty bad.
just finished replaying it this week
I still love it
playing it on an emulator with speed up is the best gen 4 experience desu.
Play Platinum then proceed on to HG/SS. D/P are to damn slow and poorly paced and almost the reason I dropped Pokemon.
Platinum is a little slow, but it's a damn good Pokémon game. One of the best. Unfortunately though you'll need to keep a Bibarel with you the whole way for the HMs that are trash in battle.

Yep, it's good. A bit slow now compared to newer games, but it can entertain you for a long time.
Good, but the need for HMs frequently may deter you at times. Platinum's got a bit of an increased difficulty as well, which is nice (speaking purely from nuzlocking experience), and it balances out some of the regional dex problems present in DP.
Also, no more crawling across water while surfing.

HM's were never a problem to me thanks to all the bidoof. I caught 2 early on along with a staravia for fly/defog, kept them in the PC, and swapped them for my strongest pokemon when i needed to use an HM. Helped keep the team well leveled and HM free.
>>32279000
Playing it right now as a matter of fact.
It's tougher than I remember.

>Bibarel
Don't forget Defog, the worst HM move in the entire series.

>you'll need to keep a Bibarel with you the whole way for the HMs
Only HMs you need are rock smash, rock climb, surf, and waterfall.
The only shit one is rock smash. Waterfall is only needed at victory road.
Why do you need HM slaves at all post RBY?
