The definitive version of the Sinnoh journey. Platinum enhances everything from Diamond and Pearl, offering a faster pace, a darker story, and a trip into a world where gravity doesn't exist.

Gameplay

Sinnoh Region

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

Distortion World

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.
