Reddit reviews Pokemon Platinum

Have you got a Gameboy (or DS!)? Any Gameboy will do! You got it?? Good!! Now, depending on the generation of Gameboy in your hand, follow one of these links:

Original -> Pokemon Red / Pokemon Blue / Pokemon Yellow - Pikachu Edition

Gameboy Color -> Pokemon Silver / Pokemon Gold / Pokemon Crystal

Gameboy Advance -> Pokemon Ruby / Pokemon Sapphire / Pokemon Emerald

Nintendo DS -> Pokemon Diamond / Pokemon Pearl / Pokemon Platinum

Nintendo DS -> Pokemon Black / Pokemon White

... and sort your life out!

EDIT: As people rightly pointed out, no 3DS Pokemon yet, fixed it!

> ing AS/OR

AS/OR are still in production, so yeah, easy.

I recently did a calculation of all of the main series pokemon games if I bought them used on Amazon, the total was nearly 1000 dollars.

Even look at Pokemon Plat

70 dollars for a used crappy copy.

50 bucks for a decent used copy of yellow.

Pokemon is not cheap.

Yes

You could probably use Amazon UK. A friend of mine in Finland always orders from there due to the lack of a .fi site, so I imagine you could do the same from Sweden. Apparently some things don't ship, but the majority do.

Amazon are selling used Pokemon Platinums for a decent price. (£14)

B2/W2 hits October 7th in the US, Oct 12th in EU, "Late spring" in Australia, in other words, around October 20th.

Trying to buy a copy of Pokemon Platinum to play since I never played it and it seems really good. Only problem is I don't want to end up with a fake cartridge.

Will these copies be legit or are there fakes here?

Amazon claim to have a "no counterfeit" policy but there are some reviews saying they were sold fakes.

I actually have a crazy one on my list. I want the game, but not for that freaking insane of a price. It wasn't that much when it first came out, I'm betting, it's certainly not worth it this much later. I only really have it on there to remind myself I want the game.

Just looked it up....

Gamestop might not be so bad, /u/SnusOchNocco :

Yup its bullshit Pokemon Platinum https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O1OBFY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_bUtIxbADAQHHB

You're right in the initial period when Nintendo is still making the game. But what happens when the game goes out of print and the game becomes rarer as people buy up the remaining copies?

Pokemon Platinum, being sold by a seller that's not Nintendo.

Because of it rarity, the game is worth a lot more new than it did when it launched. Supply and demand.

Additionally, look at the used game prices for games at Gamestop. Nintendo doesn't set those prices but Gamestop does because they know how valuable Nintendo games are. They know they can sell you a copy of Pokemon Pearl for $30 or Xenoblade for $80. Sure, it might be unreasonable, but prices are set that way because people buy them for that price.
