Pokemon Platinum: The Franchise Continues To Grow

By Paul Adler


There is not a kid or teenager living today who hasn't heard of Pokemon. The now super successful franchise started with a cartoon show that morphed into a Playstation game giant that youngsters still enjoy. The most recent installment, Pokemon Platinum, is a fan favourite just like the others.

It all started with Ash Ketchum and his small Pokemon, Pikachu. He is an electrical rodent and one of the most notable of the lovable small creatures. Pokemon is Japanese for pocket monsters. Since 1995 Pokemon has grown from the original television series featuring a little boy on a quest to become a Pokemon master to record and card games famous and admired world-wide.

Pokemon has made serious money for Nintendo who introduced the little creatures to the Nintendo game world. Pokemon is an RPG, roleplaying game for the Nintendo DS. Nintendo has released prior versions with Ash and his friends journeying to new locations and taking new Pokemon, the most recent for the DS being Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl. The Pokemon Nintendo game series is rated E for everyone.

Prior versions of the Pokemon series have been released on Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Advance. The Nintendo DS provides two screens for play as well as beautiful graphics of the new location for the newest installment, Distortion World. Since it's an RPG, you are fighting with your Pokemon against other experts. In the game, there is only 1 player but you can play wirelessly with up to 20 other Pokemon players.

Some of the scenes are reminiscent of the previous versions but there is still the addictive property of attempting to capture all the Pokemon that you can get your mits on. That's what we all love best about Pokemon: Gotta catchem all! It became the motto at the start and is still the way all Pokemon lovers see the game. Pok?mon Platinum features an excellent story that continues the saga as well as interactive dialogue for the players.

They started out with 151 (including the GM MewToo) and now have nearly 400 different Pokemon species. Some are developed sorts of original and second generation Pokemon but all have their own special features which make them great in battle. Yes, we revealed battling. That's what Pokemon training is all about - winning battles. Pokemon owners battle each other in contests for the opportunity to be crowned champ and win the top prize. There are also occasions to trade Pokemon and gain fresh ones through challenges.

The fondness for Pokemon and the Nintendo DS has kept people purchasing the handheld games even with so many other consoles on the market. How many more valuable metals and gems aren't parts of Pokemon versions? We don't know but they'll have to find more to stay alongside of this franchise.
