I can't find a reasonably priced copy of Platinum. Would Diamond be OK?
>>55851931DP is actually much better than Platinum.Much more exploration, surprise teams for E4 members, better gym order.Just use FRLG to get more pokemon and you will be ok.
>>55851931No DP is far worse than platinum and is a nightmare to play with the limited dex
DP legitimately sucks ass and would be one of the worst games in the series if BDSP didn't exist, I cannot stress how worthless these games are.
>>55851931if you're playing on a 3ds just homebrew it and download a rom. it's a 20 year old game bro, the police aren't going to come knocking.
>>55851942>DP is actually much better than Platinum.Why are you lying on the internet?
>>55851931Diamond and Pearl are objectively better than Platinum and some of the best games in the series. I recommend Pearl so you can catch Mismagius, she is very hot.>higher level elite 4>npcs use better teams that aren’t monotype slop>less linear by not forcing you to go to iron island for strength and allowing you to sequence break the gyms>random ai that always keeps you on your feet and is less predictable>rewards exploration better; gible under cycling road instead of spamming gabite in victory road >better sprites- see quagsire>gamecorner slots not censored by jews All platinum does is ruin Masuda's original version of Sinnoh by making it an edgy fanfic romhack with the distortion world and adds ugly bastards like Magmortar to the dex. Faggots cannot quantify what makes Diamond and Pearl 'Slow' and what makes Platinum or HGSS faster, these are children's turn-based RPGs taking 2 more seconds to KO an opponent doesn't really matter.
>>55851931Just emulate, or save your money to get a homebrewed 3DS.>>55851948Filtered.>>55851956BDSP is better than ORAS retard.
>>55851978Diamond and Pearl Battle tower is better too it's easier to get ribbons>>55851948150 pokemon to catch is no nightmare, you sound trans and obese with this.Divine designs such as Staraptor, Gastrodon, Mismagius, Lucario, Floatzel, Garchomp, Weavile, Drifblim, Spiritomb, Munchlax all available>>55851956They do not suck ass faggot, Do not accuse them of your homosexual fetishes.
>>55851978>having worse game design is better because it makes it more unfair Either dropped on your head as a kid or nostalgic retard
>>55852012>having less content is good because it makes it easier to get ribbons Nigga what?
>>55852107Go ahead and explain why the game design is worse. Do it.>>55852113Show me your gold prints for any facility that isn't the Tower. You can't Because you never fucking played them
>>55852121> Go ahead and explain why the game design is worseThe whole point of a gym leader or elite four member is that they use a specific type retard it was only done because they made a retarded dex limit of 151>you never played the BFSo what’s the excuse for having less content?
>>55852134>>you never played the BF>So what’s the excuse for having less content?I have completed every facility and have the prints to proveso. I even have the 10,000 streak in the Hall with Johanna and Oak in the crowd.Arade -> Shittier TowerHall -> Shittier TowerCastle -> Shittier TowerAll you're missing is the Factory. Just open up your save in Pkhex, hit "Randomize" on your 6 team slots, then play the tower.It's the same experience, even better.>The whole point of a gym leader or elite four member is that they use a specific type Nice headcanon retard. Monotype teams are objectively bad. The Diamond and Pearl leaders are simply built different. We should be congratulating them for what they achieved with such a limited dex, it's simply amazing.

>>55852164>dumb nigger rapespawn can't readTypical. Concession accepted.
>>55851978>>55852012>>55852121>>55852156>>55852170I'm sick of this person pretending to be Connor, why can't the mods do something about this.
>>55851961Except, y'know, Nintendo knocking on the doors of all of the ROM sites.vimm's somehow is still up and running. I don't know how they do it.
>>55852180Mods cannot stop namefagging, retard. I'm the real Connor.
>>55852199Why are you pretending to be Connor when your not?
>>55852207I am Connor.
>>55852197yeah sure, but they're going after the rom sites, not everybody who downloaded it. if you have a 3ds, there's zero reason to not homebrew it in 2024. I understand wanting to do things legitimately but you're just retarded paying so much for an old ds game on abandoned hardware. at least with homebrew you can still play on official hardware.
For $40 you get Battle Tower MiningContestsBall sealsGame CornerBase decoratingPoffin cookingA beautiful labyrinthic region full of secret to uncoverGripping and compelling story about a crazed madman who is intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of HumorCozy soundtrackAnd much moreDiamond and Pearl easily offer the most bang for your buck across the entire series. Faggots want you to believe these games are le bad because......you can't catch Rotom until after the elite 4 or something. These games are very undervalued because retards like getting scammed into buy third versions. It's that simple.
>>55851931Just buy a reproduction cart or a flaahcart if you want to play on a DS, download a rom if you don't care about using the original hardware.
>>55851931Unfortunately, unless you are a collector I do not recommend actually paying for these things. Best to use MelonDS and connect to the server recreations for the full gen 4 experience like in the old days.Online events, GTS, and battles are back.Yes you can connect to the servers with real hardware if you have the means. However the DS wifi connection is incredibly old and obsolete to the point of not being supported by modern routers. Need to get adapters and everything.All I'm saying is, don't spend the money on Platinum as even as a collector the prices are dumb. Diamond and Pearl are great games but the even still playing them on real hardware is no longer required except for the novelty.Save your money and just emulate unless you absolutely want it physical.And if physical only is the preferred and nothing else, the be sure to follow price charts and see the direction its going. You might be able to predict prices getting lower or higher and make an informed decision.https://www.pricecharting.com/game/nintendo-ds/pokemon-pearl
>>55852308for $0 you getliterally any ds game you want if you're not a retard
>>55852328Any pokemon not obtained on cart on real hardware is illegitimate
>>55852339>official version>official hardware>digital only>connects to transporter/bank>can be transferred through to Bank>completely legalI know its a rage baiting shitpost but come on at least play the games and do better then that.Here let me tryAny Pokemon obtained through RNG manipulation and unofficial event recreations is fake. Should have been there to get the events and shouldn't have cheated.Play the game like intended.
>>55852339so what?
>>55852361>trying to equate hitting A when a timer tells you to pirating the game every pokemon not caught on real carts on real hardware is illegitimate. it's that simple>>55852406they're illegitimate cheated pokemon
>>55852361Flashcarts and emulators cant properly generate the pokemon doe. You can fix them with editors but deep down theyre still fake.
>>55852415>>55852416oops
>>55851931>I can't find a reasonably priced copy of Platinum. Would Diamond be OK?No, Platinum is the only option. Third versions were always the best version. Emulate it if you can't find a copy
>>55851978While I disagree with you, I do enjoy the Battle Zone design in DP more than Pt. The tropics resign just doesn't vibe with me
>>55852416not saying you're a liar but i'd love to read more about the specifics of this if you have a source. i'm autismo for data structures and shit.
>>55851931diamond is better software. Fits in 64 megs. Better opening cutscene. No cum all over the trees and ground before sandgem. DP reigns supreme, niggers with goldfish attention spans keep seething that all your precious gen4 games are built off of superior "slow text no fire types" DP. Niggers
>>55852327Why not just play the cart in a 3DS if the old DS's WiFi is so shoddy
>>55851956>>55851977Rare footage of niggers seething. Did I mention DP gives you the choice to skip an entire gym in progression? That's right. Platinum is linear and makes the map no longer make sense. You've gotta go around the whole loop of the map to get back to Hearthome and challenge the FIFTH gym. DP reigns supreme. Niggers seethe
>>55852327Dont forget the Plaza nigger. Perhaps the main superior feature of Platinum is the Plaza and the new Gts terminals, and some autist managed to get them working on altwfc
>>55852415>they're illegitimate cheated pokemonright. so what? why should I care?
>>55851948The DP dex is actually less restrictive than Platinum's, because you have access to the Void glitch and can catch any species in the Battle Zone, any species locked behind the Super Rod, Cresselia, and the Sinnoh event legendaries before the Elite Four.
>>55852617Will not work. In order to run DS games it basically recreates everything it needs including the original wifi menu for the ds. On the 3ds, there is wifi settings for itself and a separate option that opens the original DS settings as well.They are in fact separate.
>>55851931DP are more nostalgic for me than Pt, so I'd actually be more inclined to re-play DP given the choice. But I own all 3 games.
>>55851991>BDSP is better thanFuck no dude.
>>55852308holy based
>>55851942fuck no DP/PE are the 2nd worst games in the series they are almost unplayable platinum proves this
>>55851978fuck no they are almost unplayable platnum proves what they should have been
>>55851978Masudas vision is gay and shit faggot like you
>>55852121its slow as fuck and there is fuck all verity with the available pokemon until post game everyone had the same fucking team faggot
>>55852308they are bad you stupid gay CUNT you can't get any good or fun pokemon its slow as fuck
>>55852308>>55853468samefag
>>55852612no it fucking isn't its fucking garbage and borderline unplayble
>>55853637But you can get a Chatot and make it scream NIGGER at your opponents. That right there is easily worth $40.
>>55852620no platinum actually makes gen 4 playable you stupid gay CUNT you are the one seething because no one likes the shithouse first versions of gen 4
>>55852661>have to use an untended glitch to get the Pokemon you want when platinum has them the way the game was supposed to playwhat a stupid retarded faggot
>>55853166thats because you're a faggot
>>55853648you sound easily amused
>>55851931Diamond is okay but if you are looking for more battles I would highly recommend that you mod a Wii and/or get PBR. Diamond actually has a unique benefit as well of being able to connect to My Pokemon Ranch, which is also free on a modded Wii and kind of serves as a catching assistant + storage.You will miss out on the Battle Frontier and the upgraded GTS, but everything else is functionally the same.
>>55851931Just get BDSP at that point. I don't even know why you want plat
>>55853656 >>55853655 >>55853651 >>55853650 >>55853647 >>55853643 >>55853637 >>55853631 >>55853625 >>55853622 >>55853619 How does diaper filter the plebs this hard
I liek XY and I think Platinum is a pretty gud game.
>>55851931Just pirate.There's no advantage in paying 500$+ for a piece of plastic.>M-muh home transfering!Game-exclusive and event moves, the only thing worth caring during transfer is literally not a thing anymore. Shitfuck caught in DP is the same as Shitfuck caught in SV.
>>55853899What was first gen white boy
>>55853953My first game was Blue.
>>55853960….on the shitendie peeDS virtual console in 2017
>>55853968The gameboy color that I traded my N64 for at Gamestop?
>>55853986u asking me A question? i say no
>>55854001It was the purple one that you can see through?
>>55854003no it was blue 3ds boughtten wity nintendo points
>>55851978discord post
>>55854005Real genwuners bought the 20th anniversary 3ds which came with the original games.They're even black and white.
>>55854005Did you give her your real name?
>>55854012I feel you are fat wrinkly bitch with saggy tits
>>55852620holy autism, kill yourself
>>55851931they are the same game so go for it
>>55851931No.Dude just emulate. iOS has delta now and android has had emulation forever. There is no excuse. Don't play the worst version.If you don't wanna emulate then buy a flash cart for your DS
>>55852415when you trade a pokemon on a legit cartridge or transfer it to the next gen, your monster friend is KILLED and his data is copied into the new game. How does that make you feel?
>>55851931Just download it and play it on MelonDS.
>>55854445No
>>55855183pretty sure we did actually, I remember this same thread too
>>55855183https://arch.b4k.co/vp/thread/55801865/#q55801865I knew it. OP is a fag.
>>55851991Filtered, by the stupidity filter no less.
>>55855283lmao OP could have pirated it and beat it already in this time
>>55854379God I wish there was a good DS emu that was made by someone besides zeromus or a troon. The troon couldnt be arsed to build for x86, let alone implementing lua scripts and debugger. And zeromus is a nigger.
>>55855593>x86Why bother?
i liked diamond
>>55856873I want proper rendering on emulator on winxpI hope stapletroon does it some day
>>55857354>schizo still uses winxp12 gauge shell, asap
>>55851978I'm a massive diamond fan and all but>you can't quantify what makes diamond slow and HGSS fasterNigga literally said you can't quanitfy time and processing, you're retarded.
>>55857364Linux cultists are cianiggers like Terry said. Modern windows is nsa spyware. Apple is for rejects. There is only true holy option besides templeos, and it's the same environment that the game was originally programmed in
>>55857530Sorry schizo but xp already has spyware. I tried to block with a firewall all communication with mikerosoft, it simply locked the whole internet at some point.
>>55854010I already had a 3DS but I bought the gen 1-2 remakes. I still have my old cartridges but the virtual console ones are less hassle than fucking with dead batteries and very dirt-sensitive cartridge connectors, bring modern conveniences like sleep mode, and can transfer Pokemon up to modern games.As for why not just emulate them, I like portability and haven't found a phone controller as good or convenient as a 3DS.
>>55857599Source needed on XP spyware. You probably blocked all Microsoft addresses and didn't make an exception for the connection tester one. Every copy of Windows sends the same request to it (meaning it isn't phoning home data about you), and if it gets a successful response it knows you have internet access. Otherwise it tells you about how the network you connected to doesn't have internet. If you've blocked that but haven't blocked whatever you're trying to connect to, you can still ignore the message and use the internet.Also if you mean _NSAKEY, it's just a secondary key that Microsoft can sign Windows updates using. The NSA asked them to put a second key and store the private key for it in a separate safe location so they could still put out updates if the normal key was compromised or destroyed by attackers.
>>55857354Unfortunately not happening. X86 architecture is going out the door in terms of main PC cpus. Im sure there is some smaller devices and industry stuff that still uses it as x86 is just fine and is easier to produce. But in regards to the home system market?Those days are long gone.
>>55853650>>55854056Retarded faggots
i liked platinum better solely because the darker theme menus in battle looks cooler
>>55857354Also winxp has a 64 bit versión. Cocksucking retard.
>>55858611nah thats you
>>55859119>nah thats youNo it's you niggerface
