Let's Play Pokémon Platinum
By Chorocojo
Introduction
The Platinum version of Pokémon is the third "Hey let's make the first
two versions again except with more awesome shit and taking out the
annoying shit" game of the fourth generation of the series. (You know,
kinda like Crystal with Gen2 and Emerald with Gen3.) Same deal, slightly
altered story, different monsters, etc.
Aaaanywho, the fourth generation of the series introduced a few changes
along with 107 more little bastards to cram into tiny, cold little
balls; one of which is even the creator god in local mythology! OH BOY
theological dilemmas abound in the Sinnoh region.
Aside from the new monsters and abilities it split the way moves worked.
Previous all water-type moves, for example, worked off of the special
attack stat. Even ones like Crabhammer which is literally a giant
fuck-off crab claw being pounded onto your lower back/skull/corporeal
being. With Gen4 all moves are now either physical or special based on
the move itself. So some monsters got leaps and bounds better and combat
as a whole got more interesting.
I'm gonna cover most of the changes and intricacies they added as I come
across them so for now let's start this magical, truly wonderful
journey of specialness and friendship. You fuckers voted on the female
lead—
Again—and then maybe I'll abandon the starter in a ditch
for a grasshopper or a kumquat with a doofy face later. Who knows?!
That's one of the wonders of Pokémon: the ever present knowledge that
you might be replaced by a doofy-faced kumquat.
