Platinum Plans

[sal-sudairy]

What are you planning to do in Platinum. What I mean is how are you going to start off your game, who are you going to choose, what are you going to catch, etc.

What I'm going to do is choose Chimchar as my Pokemon because it was originally my first choice in my Japanese Diamond Version. I'm probably going to be done with Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, including the Special Missions, and so I'll send over the Darkrai, Riolu, and Manaphy Egg as soon as I can. Darkrai and Riolu won't listen to me at the beginning because of the lack of gym badges, but they will later on. I'm going to start off with only Chimchar and Manaphy. Maybe two Manaphys because I already did the Manaphy mission in the original Pokemon Ranger, but I didn't transfer it yet. If I can't transfer it to Platinum, then I'll just send it to Diamond and from there I'll send it to Platinum. I'm planning on making my starting team (for the first badge) Monferno, Manaphy (x2), Starly, and Bibarel.
My Dream Team is Infernape, Manaphy, Phione, Lucario, Darkrai, and Giratina.

Your dream team is sickening. An overuse of Legendaries ruins the game.

Does anyone know if there will be any more Fire Pokemon? I may have to get on the WiFi world and have a Numel sent over. I luvs meh Camerupt.

I don't believe you need Wi-fi for that, Because all you do is insert a GBA game into the second slot to transfer. But you couldn't do it till after you beat the E4 Because you'll need the NAtional Dex...

[Akai]

I know. I'd much rather have something other than a Chimchar or Ponyta to train all the game. After the E4, there's not much more to do. I'll need a friend or something to throw over a Fire type.

I'm going to do what I did for my Japanese Diamond as well, pick Piplup and essentially solo with it. This time around unlike before, I'll be bringing along and raising a Starly into a Starraptor as insurance should Piplup (and its evolutions fail).

I'm hoping that this time around, I can complete the Battle Frontier and make this the first game I finish 100%.

Me i'm picking turtwig like i did in my diamond game. Well i never played the game until the E4 cause my cousin played the whole game on me when i first got the game. I told him that i wanted to make the challenging by not knowing what to do (and i dont still till after E4 like i said).So the pokemon ill catch depends maybe shinx or starly or both of them, ill catch bidof just add him to my dex,Ill look for good natures like i always do in the games so i can have good teams to beat the E4.

Question: On the version exclusives, like Glameow/Stunky and Misdreavous/Murkrow, will Platinum have both? I may choose Chimchar. I really don't know.

[Charmander99]

I think it has it's own exclusives, because Emerald had different exclusives then ruby and sapphire... That'
s why i had to change my team around, I can't catch a meditite/medicham...

[Akai]

I really need to know those Pokemon before I make my team... -glances to Pisaro-

[Rizaadon]

I will pick Infernape and go the same way I did with Diamond...
