Also, there are some legendary pokemon I don't know about, so yes, there are more legendary pokemon than I've said. Finally, there is no pokemon in platinum where you must use a master ball to catch it.
Most awesome to me is the availability of pokemon and the new ways of finding them. The graphics also, now literally almost 3D, are off the charts amazing. Although this game, like diamond and pearl, bear the glitch functions to different codes and such, which cause damage to the game, the game in itself is a wonderful turnout as you really don't need the codes.
I have to be honest, playing 3rd generation pokemon games, and lower, and then playing 4th generation, especially platinum version, blew my mind away.
For anyone unsure of which games are best out of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, I highly recommend Platinum; as it contains all the pokemon on both diamond and pearl and much more. Platinum is filled with even more characters, events, and fun games as well. Everything in Platinum from beginning to end is totally amazing thing. Pokemon platinum, in my opinion, is a five star, need to get game for any pokemon fan.
In closing, a few last things:
1. The game has no original flaws or glitches without cheat codes or such.
2. Cloning, as I have found out from other sources can damage your game, and by damage, I mean it can erase your game file and make you start over again. Thus, again, cheat codes highly not recommended.
3. On a lighter note, take time to enjoy the game, it really is fun, and is probably the best, or one of the best pokemon games ever made. In my opinion, the best.
4. For the Global Trade Station, you will need to be connected to the internet via cable or possibly a routers internet connection. (Router possibility is unconfirmed by me so do not expect that method to work based solely on my word).
5. As the trainer tips in the game say, talk to everyone you see, trust me, the rewards are staggering. Although, not everyone you talk to will give you something or tell you what you need to know, trust me, you still gain something from the conversation such as advice in the game or a new admiration for something. (If you don't care about the admiration of things or advice, please don't blame me or the game for discomfort as these things are put there to show a personal side to the game and are wonderful bits within the game).
Even though, I'm sure that there is an even longer list than I have written here to explain game details and how awesome the game is, I hope this review helps others and explains well enough for everyone.
All in all this game is a great find for any pokemon fan, and I hope everyone, old and new pokemon fans, can enjoy this game as much as I have.
Thanks for reading.
Update 9/13/11:
1. I have recently found out that it is possible to trade from the union room trading any pokemon at any level with any item or move to any pokemon game that pokemon platinum can trade to. This rule applies also to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I do not know however if this rule applies to pokemon Black, White, Heart Gold, or Soul Silver.
2. Trading in the underground or over the World Trading Station in Jubilife City you must connect through a router. Although, I have read something about using a cable, I have no idea how that works, however, I have found that the game states that it must be able to pick up wireless activity. By necessary inference, this implies that a router is used. I also believe that the game itself states this fact. However, although the Underground is, I think, but do not know, okay for trading from, the World Trading Center in Jubilife has been proven a non-advised route for trading pokemon. My advise for trading is like the old days. Try trading through the union room only. I know this takes away from the whole world trading idea, but, this will save your game from damage and/or wipe. Sorry for any trouble, but I just advise you meet up with friends you know, meet in the union room and trade their.
I think that's all I have for now, if I find anything else helpful I'll be back with a future update. Anyway, in the meantime, I thank you for reading, and hope this helped you.

Finally got around to playing the game and it looks like a promising buy! The game itself is in good condition. Not brand new but that's ok, as these games are pretty much treasure at this point. I am in the U.S. and this particular one was made for UK but THIS IS COMPLETELY FINE WITH ME, as it's still the same game anyways.
The game works like it should on my DS Lite in any case so definitely a solid product! I'll update if I need to.

Pokémon Platinum, easily one of the most loved in the series, but does it hold up to the hype? Let's find out. So first things first this is a bit easier than Diamond and Pearl in the amount of Pokédollars you get, but after that, it's basically the same game, but with more content story wise and Wi-Fi features. In fact, almost every piece of dialogue is the same as it was in the originals, yes, this means the infamous _*T H U D ! !*_ makes it's return. There are a few new Pokémon to catch using dual slot mode, but again, it is almost the same game, but better. However, if you are a newcomer (Like say you grew up with X & Y) this game WILL be difficult to learn.
So... What do I think? I believe this game get's a 9/10. I would have given this game a 10/10, if it weren't for the blaring slowness of the game (Anyone who has one hit K.O.'d a Level 100 Chansy knows how long it can be.)
The game ran with no issues but that goes without saying.
I love this game, the setting, the story, the new (at the time) pokemon), the soundtrack, holy ____ the soundtrack is amazing.
Nowadays where life constantly and without mercy kicks me in the stuff with a steel toed boot, its nice remembering the days when I was happy, keeping up with the game through magazines and serebii, seeing the new pokemon displayed in windows of game stores, then finally playing it with my friends outside on a cool autumn evening.
Good memories, Good game, thank you for letting me play it again.

Ya lo estoy jugando y funciona muy bien. Con este podré jugar la generación de Pokémon que me hacía falta.
Si certains sont intéressés, c'est une version USA mais ne vous inquiétez pas car a l'époque les jeux DS étaient pas REGION LOCK ce qui veut dire que vous pouvez jouer sur n'importe quelle console (US, EUR, ASIA) n'importe quel jeu (US, EUR, ASIA).
Je mettrais surement a jour ce commentaire après avoir fini ce jeu. J'ai hâte de commencer et de découvrir cette génération 4.

As for this specific game, it is a great entry in the series. It follows Nintendo's normal pattern of releasing an enhanced version of their games, in this case of Diamond and Perl. These versions, at least for me, are the ones to get as they always offer something that the original versions didn't and usually have a better rounded set of Pokemon that you are able to catch as well as a unique Legendary only catch-able in these versions (in this case Giratina.)
The graphics and sound are all serve their purpose very well, although not exactly state of the art. My only gripe with the sound is that they still use albeit slightly enhanced versions of the gameboy chip sounds for the Pokemon themselves. This might just be for nostalgia, but i really wish they would change over to the voices from the Anime.
I could write a book about how much i love these series of games but i will just leave it at if you haven't played these games before, or have yet to move to the DS versions, do yourself a favor and give them a shot, i doubt you'll be disappointed.
