Fun trivia
Three memorable details to notice while playing Pokémon Platinum.
Spoiler notice: This guide discusses story progression or late-game content.
Original Nintendo DS release; not Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl.
A Champion with a day job
Cynthia is interested in Sinnoh’s history and mythology as well as battling. Her appearances before the League connect her to the region’s larger mystery.
A weakness that had not arrived yet
Spiritomb has no type weakness under Generation IV’s type chart. Fairy type was introduced later, so a modern matchup chart can lead to the wrong battle plan.
Gravity takes a holiday
The Distortion World makes the journey to Giratina feel unlike an ordinary route: paths and perspectives bend around its strange landscape.
