Let me show you it.

I'm probably going to pick this up because I want to restart Pearl but I seriously don't want to lose all of my rare monsters. xP

Knew this was coming. I want it.

I heard about this on Serebii.net.

I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm wondering what the differences are between Pearl/Diamond and Platinum though.

There are a few listed in my link.

* September release (in Japan?), Giratina on the box
* Volkner is no longer the Sunyshore City gym leader
* The Underground is now Wi-Fi enabled
* Battle Island revealed; same concept as Battle Frontier in Emerald
* No new Pokémon (obviously), but some new forms including Giratina’s Origin Form, Regigigas’ Sky Form, as well as Shaymin’s Another Form. The former two gain the “Levitate” ability, while Shaymin’s new form is part Ice-type.

I want the new Shaymin now. The original one is so cute. xD

I think they will make Volkner the champion, like they did with Wallece for Emerald.

I hope they make Shaymin not event only.

Who cares. With online trading these days, it's easy to get any Pokemon, even if you don't have a cheat device. I have all of the event only Pokemon from all of the games. :P

I sincerely hope Nintendo eventually makes an iteration of this game that doesn't play almost exactly like the original + extra attacks + more Pokemon + slightly better graphics. I love the Pokemon concept a lot but even that doesn't excuse the fact that the general game design is lazy and dated to hell.
