ElatedVenusaur 07/06/20 3:26:54 PM #32:	Platinum is an easy contender for best individual pokemon game. They resolved the atrocious slowness of Diamond/Pearl, greatly expanded the selection of pokemon pre-national dex, improved and expanded on the already really good post-game area, improved the plot, and, oh yeah, they made the Distortion World, which is truly eerie. Plus, Cynthia is easily the coolest champion. I didn't play Emerald, so I can't comment, but the only pokemon games that felt as complete (to me) were ORAS(of course they didn't bring back soaring. In fact, I'm amazed they put in the effort to make it a thing at all!), because, again, it has a fairly extensive post-game. My one criticism is that Hoenn has a poor selection of wild pokemon naturally(comparable to Diamond/Pearl, even), which ORAS doesn't fix until just before the E4.
