help Pokémon Platinum FAQ
What did Pokemon Platinum add over Diamond and Pearl?
Pokemon Platinum added the Distortion World, a larger role for Giratina, and Giratina's Origin Forme. It also refined Sinnoh pacing, the regional Pokedex, and several battle and interface details from Diamond and Pearl.
When did Pokemon Platinum release on Nintendo DS?
Pokemon Platinum released first in Japan on September 13, 2008, and in North America on March 22, 2009. It is a Nintendo DS game from Pokemon's fourth generation.
Is Pokemon Platinum the same story as Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?
No, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes of Diamond and Pearl, not full remakes of Platinum. That is why Platinum-specific elements like the Distortion World are a major reason fans still seek the original DS cartridge.
Why is Giratina so important in Pokemon Platinum?
Giratina is the box legendary and central to the game's climax with Cyrus and Team Galactic. Platinum also introduced Origin Forme Giratina, tied to the Distortion World rather than the normal Sinnoh map.
