Build Up Your Pokedex and Become a Master Trainer with Pokemon Platinum

Pokemon Platinum was originally released in 2009 as a follow up to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Of all the Pokemon titles, the game's creators believed that Diamond and Pearl was the most successful, so they wanted to build on this by releasing Pokemon Platinum. IGN ranked Pokemon Platinum as the ninth-best Nintendo game ever made, and it still remains incredibly popular to this day. You can find plenty of new and used versions of this game on eBay.

Where is the gameplay set in Pokemon Platinum?
