Just finished HGSS, should I skip Platinum and go to Gen 5 next?
>>59400560No but my autism says you should've played Platinum before HGSS
>>59400654he should've played Platinum and skipped HGSS
>>59400560>should I skip [a good game]Why? Do you have cancer and you're about to die in 1 month? Just play Platinum > BW1 > BW2 in that order.
>>59400560Just play what you want. Pokemon games don’t have to be played in any order.
>>59400654Platinum is after HG/SS and mentions events that happenes in those games while vice versa doesn’t happen at all.Diamond and Pearl is before HG/SS but Platinum specifically takes place after.
>>59400877What the fucking
>>59400560Play Following Platinum then play Black or White then the sequel matching the game you played. Then play X or Y, then Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon (They're basically just the third version to Sun and Moon), then Sword or Shield + DLC, then Scarlet or Violet + DLC, then you're done.
>>59400944B-but I thought that the story of USUM is different from Sun and Moon and people say it’s worse
>>59400949It is but USUM adds a ton of side quests and post game stuff which makes then the superior games overall.
>>59401017Why couldn’t they just of made USUM as a DLC? I feel like you have to choose between better story or more stuff or play 90% of the same game twice
>>59401029It was still a 3DS game and they probably didn't want a DLC with multiple gigabytes when people had small SD cards.
Bruh, why's the freaking bird shiny? I want a shiny monkey... It's been a while week.... Give it to me already...
>>59400654Why would he do that? Platinum spoils HGSS
Alright, I'll play Platinum, get some Mons that I might like, then move them to HGSS to level up a bit, then off to Gen 5.
>>59401948>shiny hunting in emulatorsJust use a cheat code at this point.
>>59400560I would play Platinum a bit, but if you get bored just drop it. You aren't missing anything, the game is kind of mediocre and bland. Especially coming off something like HGSS.

>>59403773garbage post. do not listen to this anon. All games gens 1 - 5 are all fun and definitely worth playing
>>59403773outstanding post. do listen to this anon. All games gens 1 - 5 are all not fun and definitely not worth playing
>>59400560Why would you skip one of the best pokemon games to play the first dogshit pokemon game.
>>59403773>Especially coming off something like HGSS.It's the opposite - HGSS is absolutely boring as fuck to play and I usually stop playing after the third gym. Platinum's a lot funner with shit like the VS Seeker and a much better pool of Pokemon.
>>59400949it is worse. people who say it's better because it has more side content are stupid. you will not give a shit about the side content by the time you get to it because playing USUM is a soul-draining experience.
