Hey guys, how are you doing?

I know we are still on the interstitial season but, I'm looking forward to playing the Sinnoh games. Last year I played Pearl and hated those games so I want to play Platinum instead.

I know Platinum fixes many things that I didn't like about the original fourth gen games but in doing so they changed the game's story and Gym order.

I know Tanner and Josh will be playing the classics and then jump to Johto's remakes so we won't have the story of the third game that is almost the same but different.

My question is. Do I play Diamond or Platinum? I don't want to feel like I'm playing a different game from the one the boys are talking but I also want to play something new (especially since I hated Pearl).
