So what are y'all's opinion on Platinum? I haven't played any of the fourth gen, and was thinking of picking up one of the Sinnoh games along with Heart Gold. Amazon has Platinum and Diamond/Pearl all at the same price, but I don't know which version I should get.
I like Platinum a lot. I think it has overall a better story and better world design than even HeartGold, but it's interface still pales in comparison to the magnificence of having the menu all down on the touchscreen. Every time they release a new game the Pokemon series gets just a little bit more polished. I still wish they would totally do away with having Deposit, Take, and Move Pokemon in the PC boxes though. It's utterly redundant. It should be Move Pokemon as your only option, and it should show you the box and your party on the same screen as soon as you turn it on (instead of after pressing a button twice to set it up), all while letting you drag and drop with the touchscreen.
I wish I could drag and drop to switch my Pokemon around in the party too. While we're on it I wouldn't mind a slightly more streamlined Pokecenter dialogue that didn't require me to press A five times. Get with the program Pokemon, less clicks to do things are better. :stare:

I'm giving up on regular training now and just catching Pokemon. I made the mistake of beating all 16 Gyms too early, and now I have nothing that can even touch the new Elite Four, so I'm stranded with nothing to train on and I don't feel like grinding 6 Pokemon up to level 75.
