The Official Pokemon Platinum thread

[Genoa]

Long ago when Diamond/Pearl was released, there was a huge thread with over 1000 posts in it and multiple friend codes... but that was a good while ago, so since the new Platinum version is now out, I thought I would make a new thread.

Discuss anything related to the game here (and use spoilers boxes/tags when appropriate!)

Posting your friend code would be nice too along with your name on the game.
My friend code is 3781-4908-7364
Character name: K

How to obtain your Friend Code for Pokemon Platinum:

Spoiler!

Once you have reached OREBURGH CITY , go to the Pokemon Center and take the escalator on the right to the lower floor. As you arrive, you will automatically be harassed introduced by the lady behind the counter and given a Pal Pad.

Once you have your Pal Pad, you can connect to the Wifi-connection. When you do so, you will be given your Friend Code.
If you are trying to play with a friend, be sure to have their friend code AND they have yours as well (like most DS/Wii games...)

Platinum has a large variety of changes from Diamond and Pearl.

By the way, Serebii is a great place for Pokemon statistics and information if you haven't already been there.

I have picked Chimchar as my starter (just as I had on Pearl). I haven't gotten too far yet, still playing PSOBB on a regular basis.
