There's a big difference, actually. Pokemon Diamond was made along with it's counterpart, Pokemon Pearl in I think...2007? Pokemon Platinum came out in 2009 and is the third game in that series. It came with enhanced graphics and slightly different dialouge for some of the NPCs. The towns and characters also got a makeover as well as the battel scene (the tag that has your Pokemon's name and HP, exp., gender, etc.). Also you can catch a lot of Hoenn Pokemon in Pokemon Platinum that you couldn't catch in Diamond and Pearl.
in platinum your person is older and when you go to spear pillar you have a chance to catch dailga, palkia and giritina.
There are different Pokemon in each of these games and the two games represent two different parts of the Pokemon world completely. If you are thinking of buying one of the games and cannot decide which would be better for you, personally the diamond one is the one I believe is better.
If you have another copy of Pokemon Diamond or have Pearl or Platinum with a different DS, you can trade between systems and have one of them start a new file and pick the Starter you are missing to trade to your primary Pokemon Diamond file. It'd be easier to have a friend help you as well.
difference between diamond graphite and fullrene
I already have Diamond and Pearl but I'm definitely getting Platinum anyway. I think Platinum is a better option to get between Diamond and Pearl 'cause there are new formes for Giratina, Shaymin and Rotom - you can also catch 6 original legendaries from Kanto and Hoenn - Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Regirock, Registeel and Regice - you can rebattle Gym Leaders, you can catch both Dialga and Palkia and there's a lot of other cool stuff too such as a double battle with an Elite 4 and a Gym Leader.
well you will need to complete the safari callange getg the teeth then give tham to the old man and he will give you surf and there is a differene between Pokemon platinum and diamond
n1, Pokemon diamond is older than platinum. n2,there a bit differrent in gamplay. n3,there legendaries are differrent...
When you see Giratina there you go through a portal and you have different clothes thx guys
no but you can trade between platinum and pearl/diamond if you have 2 Nintendo ds's.
They are different generations of the game, the storylines are different as well as the characters, there are different pokemon almost completely. Platinum goes with diamond and pearl. White goes with black.
welll, it's pretty obvious: a diamond code is for diamond and a platinum code is for platinum. Like the other guy said, they wont work for each other if you try a diamond code with a platinum game its not going to work same way the other way around. you could have the same thing you wanted to get for platinum and diamond but the codes will be different. hope that helped. =)
No you cant sense crystal is a different reegion then pearl,diamond and platinum.
yes there will theres not that much diferences between pear/diamond and platinum
Pick Diamond and Pearl. If you have a choice between those, pick Pearl. I'd say Platinum, cause there's a English patch for Platinum (check YouTube) id go platinum to
white is common red is rare
yes the same way you would trade form pearl to platinum
different Pokemon
No, you can't tell the difference between shiny type Pokemon and non shiny types. You just have to rely on hope, or a trainer who didn't use the Action Replay on there version of the game. I was browsing it and i saw a shiny shamen!
