Encyclopedic overview
Pokémon Platinum Version is a 2008 role-playing video game developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. The game is an enhanced version of the 2006 titles Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and is part of the fourth generation of the Pokémon video game series. It was released in Japan in September 2008 and internationally throughout 2009.
In Pokémon Platinum, players control either Lucas or Dawn and begin with one of three Pokémon provided by Professor Rowan. The mascot Pokémon is Giratina, which plays a central role in the story. While Giratina had only one form in Diamond and Pearl, it gains a new "Origin Form" in Platinum, introduced alongside the Distortion World, a new area featuring altered physics compared with the Sinnoh region where the game takes place. Gameplay follows traditional Pokémon mechanics: players explore towns, caves, and outdoor environments, capture and train Pokémon, and engage in turn-based battles.
