What went wrong?
>>
platinum fixes all of this
>>
>>56935463
No it doesn’t and I’m tired of pretending it does
>>
>>56935463
nope
>>
>>56935469
yes it does
>>
>>56935477
It actively punishes you for not playing Diamond or Pearl by denying you Pokémon like Honchcrow or Mismagius or Skunktank which is truly bizzare when it should have been a game that improved on everything including Pokémon availability
>>
>>56935499
every third version cut some mon, like mareep in crystal or zangoose in emerald
>>
>>56935538
None as many as Platinum

>barely any fire types. Enjoy your obligatory Ponyta
Or you can just not use Fire Types. The game even has grindable Flamethrower TMs.
>Thin water type selection until fairly late. Basically forced to get one due to necessity of Surf. This makes Piplup the best choice because it covers an Hm base the other too don’t
That's not even right. There are a good amount of early water types like Bibarel, Magikarp, Buizel, and Shellos.
>Post game Super Rod for no reason at all.
>Locks numerous Pokémon behind postgame nonsense
The postgame was part of the game last time I checked, not an issue, Pokemon is about completing the dex.
>Several newer evolutions of prior Pokémon locked behind trades
You'll figure it out. I bet you emulate anyway.
>Yanmega can’t learn Fly but Tropius can.
Then Fly on the Tropius, you have a PC.

>Bibarel

Lmao

>Magikarp

Annoying to grind yawn

>Buizel and Shellos

If you don’t pick Piplup yeh your forced into these

look, haha
I'm just
I'm just not gonna use a fire type!
I know! haha
sorry!
but I'm just not gonna use one!
what is that, a grass type? I'll use my flying type!
oh, is that a steel type? good thing I have fighting coverage!
I'm just not gonna use a fire type haha!
sue me lol!

>Honchcrow or Mismagius
While these are actual losses these are easily accessible in DP or HGSS. Platinum not having them is less of a big deal than you think it is when it lets you have the rest of the expanded Sinnoh evolution dex to make up for it. It's the game where Houndoom is the most accessible its ever been and all Ghost types in Platinum are better than Mismagius, even Froslass

>Skunktank
Oh boy a missing shittermon. You should've listed Purugly, which while also a shittermon, has barely been in any games since Pearl and is insanely unavailable for being a shittermon cat. Still, if you wanted a Dark/Poison type Drapion is objectively better and still a Sinnoh original. If you need Flamethrower on your fartmon, Togepi is literally given to you in the game and has a better Special stat to justify Flamethrower

Let's compare this to Crystal literally cutting out your Electric type options completely unless you Odd Egg grind for Pichu/Elekid

Bibarel is good
>>
>>56935903
It’s a fucking beaver. Nobody uses that thing in private runs
>>
>>56935916
yes they do if they want to use hms
>>
>>56935458
>fire types don't exist in any fucking before gen v
>bidoof, magikarp, psyduck, buizel, shellos, vaporeon, barbroach, goldeen all available before you need surf
>super rod to... catch mostly evolved forms of shit you already had access too
>trade evos are only for aryans; poorfags and and retards need not apply
>>
>>56935916
They made Bidoof the HM animation in BDSM. Of course people use her

The fact that this thing can learn Surf but some Pokémon with wings can’t learn fly is beyond stupid

cute team!
>>
>>56935463
And yet it took until PLA for every Gen 4 mon to be in a regional dex. No other region has neglected its own generation to that end.
>>
>>56936840
what kanto game can i get both electabuzz and magmar in?
what hoenn game can i get both zangoose and lunatone in?
wtf are you even saying lol
>>
>>56935867
Too smart for the Sinnoh hater
>>
>>56935880
Skuntank is better than Mismagius
>>
>>56936911
"Regional dex" numbers, the DiaPer idiocy of leaving out everything after Weavile aside from box legends and Manaphy wasn't fully fixed in Platinum.
>>
>>56935458
I hate fire types so this is my favorite region
hoenn is my second favorite
>>
>>56936146
>>56936192
he's male
>>
>>56936981
oh well you said “PLA” and make it sound like all the Pokémon weren’t available in a regional dex before that shitty catching sim
>>
>450+ Pokémon accounted for between DPPt
>357/493 if you only have a single copy of Diamond or Pearl with no access to Wi-Fi, events, Ranger, Ranch, dual-slot mode, trading, or Underground communications
>Spend 90% of playtime in the post-game
Don't see what the problem is
>>
>>56935458
>barely any fire types
you'd think they'd try to rectify this when making the fucking fire type elite four team, but no
>>
>>56935463
But my glameow and misdreavus!
>>
>>56935605
Emerald is the least painful one
Platinum you're missing 4 DP version exclusives that are counterparts with each other

Anon. Sinnoh is to water types what Kanto is to poison types.
