The thing is, I'm convinced that in videos I saw of the Japanese Platinum, scrolling down through items in the bag was much faster. In multiplayer battles where both D/P and Platinum games are involved, the updated accuracy is used. It appears they at least considered this a serious mistake on their behalf, because they made the only actual battle data change in a third version game ever and lowered it back to 60%. In Diamond and Pearl, the move Hypnosis was changed to have an accuracy of 70% instead of the previous 60%. Discovering this made me seriously wonder if Game Freak read my D/P Changes I don't remember ever seeing anyone but me complain about it, but they fixed it anyway. Will you switch your Pokémon?", ensuring that you will always know what you're switching into. Instead, it will scroll down by just one line, so that what remains on the top screen when your choices are presented is "about to send in SCYTHER. They just fixed the one thing that actually really mattered: When you are battling a trainer and they are about to send out a new Pokémon, the "Trainer is about to send in SCYTHER" message will not disappear before you get to choose whether to switch. Okay, fine, they still scroll just as much. ![]() Battle Messages Do Not Scroll Quite as Much Now gatehouses let you through on the bike again the way they used to in the third generation games. Remember when I also said that in D/P you're automatically taken off your bike when you enter one of the gatehouses between some cities and their adjacent routes? They fixed that too. Surfing is by default at running speed again. Remember when I said in D/P you are forced to Surf at walking speed? Well, not anymore. In Platinum, the man gives you the choice of either buying one or ten, so you only need to talk to him three times to obtain more than enough Honey to slather all 21 honey trees in the region with. Buy More Honeyīuying Honey from the man in Floaroma Meadow in Diamond and Pearl was a pain because you could only buy one at a time. ![]() There is now both a back and forward button on the Pokétch. Compare to the D/P Changes - they fixed a suspicious amount of the complaints I mentioned there. Fixesĭiamond and Pearl had their weak points, and believe it or not, Platinum tried to fix some of them. If you spot any mistakes or remember any more changes, please contact me. Some of the changes are obvious or well known, but others less so. Out of all the "third versions", Platinum is probably the game that makes the most changes to the original duo.
