It's a lot nicer than it looks
About a year ago I lost my white DS lite to a tragic accident. I was in my room with my friend and we were taking turns playing Picross (amazing game btw). It was her turn to play and she didnt understand something about the game, so she asked me to help her. I try to grab the DS by the top screen and she kept pulling it back for some reason? Then the screens unhinged and fell apart. :[ So for about a year, I've been using my brother DS. I saw this new Pokemon DS coming out for the same price as the normal DS so I had to get it.
For the original price of the DS, you get an awesome looking DS, along with a cool case and a Pokemon dvd. The actual inside of the DS is different from the other systems. It has a sort of silver color which looks pretty nice in my opinion. I forgot how the back of the other systems were but this DS is glossy all around, from front to back. It's probably the sleekest DS released yet. Still waiting for that widescreen one ;]
New Pokemon sprites are new!
I dunno how many people here like Pokemon, but I'm sure there's atleast one person. A new Pokemon game came out last weekend in Japan. Its the third game of the Pearl/Diamond series so its basically the same game, just with a few new added places, new things to do over wifi, and a couple of new forms for a few Pokemon ( Shaymin, Giratina, and Rotom )
Me, along with every other Pokemon geek out there will probably think that the new sprites for some of the Pokemon is enough to warrant the purchase of Platinum. Heres a sample of a new sprite...
This sold me.
So yeah, sorry for this crappy post. I was just excited I finally got a new DS and excited this was my first blog post in Destructoid. D:

Pokemon platinum is out?!
I'm a closet Pokemon fan.
Also, don't mind people like Reaprar. He doesn't really contribute, but likes to harass people on the c-blogs. He think it's his job.
Though I will hopefully be picking up Platinum. No matter how many they bring out I always seem to get sucked right back into it. :) I loves me some Pokemon.
I might just pick this up.
What all have they added to platinum other than the new sprites? I haven't been keeping up with it >.<
Welcome to Destructoid.
I should note that only the Diamond/Pearl generation pokemon received new sprites, that is pokemon #'s 1-386 use the same sprites they had in Diamond and Pearl, and all pokemon after 386 get a new sprite.
Also the biggest differences in Platinum from Diamond/Pearl besides the new sprites are some new characters (as in human ones like a new Team Galaxy person, a cop chasing after Team Galaxy) and new pokemon forms for Giratina, Shaymin and Rotom. Also a big addition is the Battle Frontier added to Platinum. It's basically just like the Frontier concept from Pokemon Emerald so yeah.
Theres several other minor changes too, but you can just check [url]www.serebii.net[/url] for all that stuff.
Here is my pitch If Nitendo release this remake it would likely arrive around the first quorter of 2010, hence celibrating the 10th annivesory of the orginal Pokemon G&S. They both have some what unofficial names Dusk Gold and Dawn Silver, that is subject to change.
"Laugh" Pokemon G&S Yes that is an inappropriate fart joke.
By the way look out for all of that fake crap thats all over the net like that Pokemon Shiny Gold.
I will not get a new pokemon game unless I can battle random online opponents without getting on a forum and finding them that way.
