Well with Platinum being released stateside this past Sunday, and set for release in EU in a couple months (5/22) it's time to talk Pokémon again. This will be the place for anything Pokémon; talk about your favorites, ask for help, brag about your latest exploits, or even set-up some trades. Been living under a rock for the past couple decades? Check these places out to learn more about Pokémon.


So there you have it, so get out there and get Platinum, or dig up Diamond/Pearl, I know you have it. Start catching more Pokémon and then come here and share in the excitement.

I have still not made it to the second gym in Platinum, kind of taking my time as I don't want to get burnt out on the grind that is training.

Also, my favorite Pokemon is Mewtwo.

I hope to play Platnium soon, although the Pokemon gmaes being the same over and over again is starting to wear thin! I want a Gold/Silver verison remake!(those were my favs.)

I would also love to see a Gold/Silver remake, I really hope those are the next set of games as it would follow how red and blue were remade in the GBA generation. So it seems like the logical next step if they are going to continue to follow the same formula. Though I would love to see a complete revamp of the series really, same basic principle but with a 3D world and no random encounters.

We will have to talk lineups and movesets, etc once we beat the game Mav. I am kind of a noob at that stuff but would like to get some battles in with you guys.

tbh, you'll prolly have to ask Lynkeh about that if/when he gets Platinum, because I've never been real good at battling against other people. Like, I know what should make a good moveset, but not how to use it right XD. Besides, my lineup by the end of this game will probably suck a lot, what with the theme I'm trying to pull off.

Yeah well you got me into the idea.

In Diamond I kind of browsed different forums looking for tips on that kind of stuff but it was kind of too late, I already had a very high level group and they weren't done right so besides fixing some moves I didn't do much with them. So once i beat the regular game with my starter and whatever group I have I'm gonna work on breeding a good team.

Today, I texted my boyfriend to see if he wanted to finally have sex today. His response was "Can't, Platinum just came out." I didn't know what that meant so I searched "Platinum 3-22-2009" on Google. I found out he's talking about a new Pokemon game. FML
from the Fmylife - FML : Your everyday life stories. page

btw that website is hilarious

How so? I mean, you guys have really gotta sell me on this since every Pokemon game in the main series has been practically the same deal all the way through...

To be quite honest Lynk, it's not really that different, all the game mechanics are the exact same as Diamond/Pearl obviously. There are just additional things, cosmetic tweaks, storyline (if you can call it that) is a bit different. I'm too lazy to list all the small changes, but you can read about them here:
