Um, Blade? Platinum is
one of the best. It's the best modern game, among modern standards (3rd and 4th generation). However, I still have to say that G/S/C are better, at least from what I see. Nothing can really compare to them, although I will admit that D/P/P gave them a really good run for their money, in my opinion.
It seems in my rush and lack of time, I've made one grave miscalculation. Everything that I've planned out is going according to plan with my team, but there's one hitch. The Torterra, Infernape, Floatzel, Gliscor, and Staraptor are all going as planned, but I failed to plan out how, exactly, I would obtain a functioning Electivire. I now realize that, in order to obtain even an Elekid Egg or an Electabuzz, I must wait until Route 222, which is right before the 8th Badge. I've become saddened by this, and I've managed to transfer over an Elekid Egg, but it has all of the best moves for it (Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Cross Chop, Earthquake). It hasn't hatched yet, but I know it has them. Thus, I've been debating over whether or not to use it, because that would compromise plans and make the game way too easy. On the other hand, I have a Shinx ready to go, but I wanted to avoid using him this time around. At this point, I suppose I'm going to go ahead with the Shinx. That will make sure that I don't cheat myself of the enjoyment. I'll properly hatch and raise an Electivire later, when the proper time arises. Oh well, at least things are looking pretty good, although I haven't made much progress on it yet, due to complications in life, as well as the LRC.
I was hoping to be done with getting to Rank 10 in MLN before today, but I evidently see that didn't happen. Oh well, I suppose I'll be taking the long road, then.
It's looking pretty fun so far.
Of course, after hanging around at Serebii and SerebiiForums so much, you tend to learn a lot about stuff, so I all ready knew ahead of time about everything that's come my way. Anyway. We'll have to start swapping Friend Codes here soon, but I'd like to make a bit more progress on Platinum before doing that.
Would you believe it if I said that there were many people at SerebiiForums that have all ready beaten the game?
i agree. Plat is nice, but it can't beat Crystal. they should make a DS version of it, with modern graphics and items, and touch screen pokegear.
