So when I was like very young , I think around 6 or 7 years old , we had this flashcard for the Nintendo DS and it was the best not having to pay for games and just waiting for a new one's release to download the ROM for it . It was very cool . One day I heard that Pokemon Platinum was soon going to come out and I was very excited . I searched up the ROM and I was able to find a version of the game but sadly in Japanese . But this was going to be my first Pokemon game so I downloaded it anyways and began playing it
First Time Playing -- Of course the first time playing the game wasn't exactly the best experience that I had , but I always managed to find out what to do next because of common sense . It was easy to interpret .
Bugs
--Of course, though , there was a few bugs that I experienced , the first being that the save button didn't work or functioned . It was really bad that even though I saved , the next time I open my game it didn't save exactly where I did . So what I did was that I saved 5times and guess what ? It did work It was just the beginning of my adventure . Soon later I found out that it would save too by just doing it two times .
A next bug is what you really might consider the worst of the worst . Well after getting an Eevee from Bebebe it was pretty smooth then and I managed to get the Eevee to evolve into a Umbreon and so I left it in the PC in the Pokemon Center and continued playing . And guess what happened ? It Disappeared ... yeah , that does sound very very crazy . So at that I really had to consider my team very well . It was really horrible . In all of this Pokemon Universe , the amount of Pokemon that I could have is 7 . 6 on my team and one standby at the Pokemon Daycare . Yeah , I guess that I was still young to hate this and I still managed to continue forward . ( Sorry Wayne the Eevee )
End Play
--So you might say that I would have given up right ? But the fact is that I never did , even though with all the restrictions that I had , I still managed to reach the game all the way until around Mt. Coronet ( I think its called that ) It was really a good adventure . I really had hard times like I always do in a first time playing a Pokemon game but still this game is a very good memory source to say that you should never give up even with the hardest of things in your way .
Still not cool having an Infernape with this moveset :
Rock Smash
Rock Climb
Strength
Fire Blast
Yeah HMs were really a horrible hassle >.<
Thanks for reading this and maybe hopefully it will motivate you that it's not the restrictions that you have that hinders you but your effort in a game that counts the most
Nice description. It must have been tiring and frustrating with all the bugs. I guess it is best to buy it. I had pokemon platinum too and since it was bought, it was working perfectly.
