To understand my next two points, you must first understand one of my many end goals. See, I have a Pokemon Platinum strategy guide. No surprise. However, it is not sufficient as-is. I need to mark additional information in it so that when I play through future Pokemon Platinum games, I have a thorough guide on everything *I personally* want to cover.


A week or two ago, I finally finished deciding on all the trainers I wanted to battle, allowing me to obtain credit for seeing all 210 Sinnoh pokemon without unnecessarily revisiting areas.

I've been working on the items now. I've been using the GameFAQs Dowsing App guide, the strategy guide, and a little personal exploration to find all the items I want. I've made a good amount of progress there. I have to say, I'm quite glad that there are so many Shards in this game given how important they are (Move Tutors), but it was an incredibly pleasant surprise to find that Star Pieces can now be traded in for Shards (one piece for four shards, one of each color.)

I beat the game in less than 24 hours, my starter was Piplup.
I use action replay codes now that I beat it, it was pretty hard to find some for platinum though.
If anyone needs AR codes for the english version I have some, just pm me and I will send them to you.

Taking a break from Platinum for some Diamond dex entries. (beat the Fighting gym last I recall in platinum.)
expecting to beat the game in about 6 more hours of actual play time as opposed to milling playtime (milling play time being pokemon catching for dex entries, straight training for dex entries, breeding, and unnecessary battles.)

I have FINALLY reached Snowpoint. I'm really loving some of the items the designers left lying around. And the new animations for the pokemon...I'm so glad I have the Platinum.
