Whether you're an eight year-old or a twenty year old, you will find this game quite enjoying. Very suitable for children, a bit educational, good role models (courageous!), and has positive messages.

This game is the best family DS games I have ever played. Your family can talk about it, and the game is endless fun.

my 11-year old loves it.

This game is difficult for younger players to manuver. The Wi-Fi could be unsafe, do NOT let younger children on without supervision. The Female Galactic Grunts' outfits are a bit revealing, but besides that, the game is fun!

Platinum is a little more inappropriate than other games in the series. Team Galactic is more brutal than team rocket because instead of just hurting pokemon, the experiment on pokemon and hurt humans. Platinum expresses their brutality more than Diamond and Pearl did. One of the more violent moments is when a Galactic member describes giving Dawn "a painful experience." But on the bright side, it has wonderfully dramatic music and some morals, which is why I gave it a four-star rating.

You can use the Global Trade center to trade pokemon Globally but there is no way to talk...

love it

There are more Pokemon, new characters, new locations, new features, the plot was made for all ages, good graphics. But why is marketing an issue here? This is the stuff they're marketing, the toys and stuff came later.

safety is an issue for online

I have played (admittedly) every pokemon game, and many of the spin-offs, and it never gets old. The role models are clearly good, and the interface is so easy a caveman could do it. What this game does better than all the other games was make me want to "catch 'em all" with the unlimited replayability to the pleasent pokemon contests. Best of the bunch, and regardless of whether you've played pearl/diamond or not, this game is a must-have.

I love the game the show everything it is awesome fun and easy to play i love the game so much i have sapphire platnium i think i had emrald or it was just a dream peral and firered i always go into cheats and youtube to find cheats and it's not violent neither because they only faint and they never really get hurt and it's educattional because you have to think where can i find this pokemon and when can i get this pokemon (night afternoon and day)how can i get this pokemon and all the moves like what is supereffevitve and not so effective and what hurts them normal it's an awesome game 1 - 10 i give this game a solid 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Awesome game. It is a bit more challenging than diamond and pearl, with the addition of the Distortion World and the fact that completing the Sinnoh Pokedex is 210 rather than 150 in diamond and pearl. However, challenge is fun!

But it is still the best Pokemon game I have ever played!

very very good

Just like every other okemon games with new twist. Anyone that is old enough that can hold a DS a press buttons can play this game.

Pokémon's always been a very addicting series, no doubt about it. Over a 12 or so year life span, the series has always used the same general idea. The main quest is, as always, to finish the Pokédex and beat the Pokémon League Champion. The thing that divides them, though, is all the new features each one offers. Pokémon Platinum is no different. While it is mostly the same as Diamond and Pearl, it adds on quite a few new features, including: - A brand new Battle Frontier, including the same Battle Tower we know and love - Distortion World, which is the only place to catch Giratina in its Origin Forme and find the Griseous orb. - 60 additions to your first Pokédex, expanding the first part of the game immensely. - Expansion on Formes, which were present in D/P, but are fully developed in Platinum. Overall, a very good but challenging expansion to Diamond and Pearl.
