Gameplay

While on your quest to become Champion, the climate of Sinnoh begins to change. Your journey takes a dramatic turn at the Spear Pillar, where a shadowy hole opens up to another dimension. You must enter this mysterious realm to save the world from total destruction.

Region Overview

Sinnoh is much colder now, and the characters have updated their outfits to stay warm. The most incredible discovery is the Distortion World—a surreal place where you can walk on walls and floating platforms to find the legendary Giratina in its true form.

THREAT ANALYSIS

Team Galactic's plan reaches a terrifying climax. You will also meet Looker, a funny but skilled detective from the International Police, who joins you to investigate and finally take down Cyrus and his team for good.

System

Platinum fixes many technical issues and adds tons of fun features:

The Battle Frontier

A massive new area opens up with five different facilities, giving you the ultimate challenge after the Elite Four.

The Expanded Sinnoh Dex

The regional database has received a massive update. You can now track 59 additional Pokémon in the local area that weren't seen in the previous Diamond and Pearl missions. This includes the elusive Rotom, the legendary Giratina, and the entire Eevee family. Our research also reveals newly discovered evolutions for classic species, such as Dusknoir and Tangrowth, allowing you to push your team's potential even further.

Faster Gameplay

Everything is much smoother! Surfing on water and battle animations are significantly faster than in previous versions.
