Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 2 (In-Game Discussion)

YESH. Finally got my OriginTina with pics and everything. Want them? I know you do.

Robert, it's in the Solaceon Ruins. Same path as DP, it's in one of the items in the end.
 
Hmm ... looking at Serebii's legendary page, it seems you interact with a portal to battle with Dialga and Palkia. Now, assuming Synchronize still works on legendaries in Platinum (!), could somebody find out if it works with Dialga/Palkia? I'm hoping it would, but you never know.

EDIT: Also, someone might be able to answer this question sooner. Without any spoilers, is it a long journey out of the Torn World once Giratina is captured? More specifically, would it be practical to check its Origin Forme stats, then exit and check Another Forme's as well?

There is a portal on Giratina's spot after dealing with it.

According to Coronis, some Japanese players said that if you run away during this fight, you can meet Giratina later in the game at the Turnback cave in its Another forme, just like in D/P.

Still disappointed at how you have to have it hold the Platinum Orb to keep it in the Origin Forme >_>, unless Plat Orb gives >20% boost
 
Thank you very much Jibaku. Now I just need to know about Dialga/Palkia and Synchronize haha.

It probably isn't practical to run from the Giratina fight though, unless your in-game team is taking a serious beating, or you don't have enough money to afford Dusk Balls or whatever. To go out of the way to catch Giratina later when it is in the main storyline doesn't seem worth it to me. Also, for what it's worth, Serebii's "Forme Factor" page states the Platinum Orb does boost Giratina's Ghost and Dragon moves, but it's the same page that lists Skymin as 127 SpA/120 Spe, so we should probably take it with a grain of salt for now.

The platinum orb boost his ghost and dragon moves
 
Damn... just missing two Pokemon for the Dex... you guys know where to see Guardevoir and Leafeon ? =C

Leafeon is in the double battle with the Rangers in Route 212 iirc and Gardevoir is held by the Psychic right below you when you enter Victory Road from the South side.
 
I don't think anyone does as Wynaut's hard to come by before the E4...

Taught a few of my guys tutor moves, nothing that wasn't confirmed already though. Will definitely want to try out some fun stuff tomorrow :3 Any requests? I could pick random pokes that haven't been mentioned to see what moves they get.
