» Pokémon Platinum

I just downloaded the Japanese Pokémon Platinum version thanks to Dark Ray, and I'll be uploading it to the main site within a few days for free download. If you already have the rom like me, what do you think so far of the game?

Personally, I love the new animations - seeing Turtwig open its mouth wide when you send it into battle is funny, and seeing Lucas jump up and down in the battle animations is hilarious! Also, the new graphics have smoother textures than in Diamond and Pearl, and are more 3D than before. Also, I think the CPU battle speed has increased a bit.

Although the game crashed and now I have to start from the beginning again (don't use the in-game save, use the emulator's Save State feature), I think it truly is the best Pokémon game to date!

thank you, thank you, i dont need so much credit =P, i just got the random idea of searching for a Platinum ROM, took like 5 mins lol, i allready maked some video showing the important things in the game, battle, ect... and by now, everything is similar to DP, execpt that in the second gym has changed, has well has the Galactic building, more info coming soon.

Actually, the emulator's save feature doesn't work, but I found a way around the problem I was having. Apparently, when using the in-game save option, the save file isn't placed on your hard disk until after you close the emulator. But if the emulator crashes before you can close it, it won't create the save file, so even if you saved the game before it crashed, you would've lost all of your data.

The way around the "microphone wave in failure" crash, for me anyways, is to use the in-game save, close the emulator and restart it. Then after you close it, the save file is created and placed on your hard disk, so if the emulator were to crash when you re-opened it, you wouldn't lose your data. I just do this every 15 or 30 minutes and it seems to be fine now.

i dont have this problem with iDeaS. yay iDeaS!

does the emulator lags when you are in a large city? and aparently,
Scott is the only one having the Save Problem

not very much. but it could be better.

no$gba ftw

^ x2, No$gba is awesome, the saving feature on all pokemon games is flawless, though it is a bit laggy outside of small areas, its nothing huge.

Not to burst your bubble WS, but I often have problems with the saving feature. My No$GBA often crashes because of a "Microphone Wave in Failure" error, and because the emulator doesn't actually create a save file on disk until after you successfully close it, if it crashes during gameplay, you're screwed.

I have this problem often. I always need to save the game, then close the emulator and re-open it. Otherwise, I can save all I want, but if No$GBA decides to crash, then it doesn't actually add the save data to the hard disk save file.

wow, that sucks, never had a problem with it, i tend to even efit thesave file with pokesav.. what ver. are u using? (typed on dsi)

I think it's 2.6c.

I have played Plat 1st I got the rom And it laged WAY to much so I got done with that so I just waited till it came out and got it.

Its a really good game A lot is diffrent from pokemon D/P and I think it is much more fun.

But thats me what your thought about this game (Sorry if anything is spelled wrong)

didn't you say you got to giratina on the Rom Xriku?

No AshlotteX It was way too laggy for me It move like every 1 min

then why did you lie to me then?
