Pokemon Diamond & Peral may still be popular ovr here in the UK, however across a few hundred miles of water are friends in Japan are playing the latest collection to the Pokemon universe, Pokemon Platinum.

To Put it blunt Pokemon Platinum is similar to Pokemon Yellow (Gameboy), Pokemon Crystal (Gameboy Colour) and Pokemon Emerald (Gameboy Advance) as the game will be exactly same as the previous games (in this case Diamond & Peral) except will feature all pokemon from both Diamond & Peral games aswell as some additional pokemon and not only that any bugs in the previous pokemon game would have been fixed).

Apart from a few bug fixes and some additional pokemon the game itself is identical to the Diamond & Peral Pokemon games, which isnt exactly a bad thing, but it aint worth spending another £30 for the same game, however i would still be tempted to as i am a pokemon fan.

Pokemon Platinum has recently been released over in Japan and costs around £28 however no Europe / US release date has been announced, but if it were to come out over in the UK it would take around a year (as they would need to translate if from japanese to english), either way it is definately a game to look out for if your a Nintendo DS Owner.
