I had some extra christmas money and so i bought this game (platinum).
I heard that it's storyline is a lot better than DP is this true?
 
The Storyline is more or less the same, but with a few more things added to it. It's Generally considered Better.

There a few game play changes which make Platinum better. One of the better changes is that you now have a several Viable fire Pokémon if you don't choose or trade for Chimchar. Ponyta had few moves in DP, but a lot more early on in Platinum.

As with All threads on this topic, I'd say: It's your money your choice in what you purchase.

Who are the more viable Fire Pokemon? The only ones I've seen (without having to trade for), are Ponyta and Houndour.
 
I just noticed that there aren't a whole lot of Fire Pokemon myself... I just now ran into a Ponyta recently, and this news is a bit disheartening. I was planning to put a fire user in the next phase of my team. XD Are you guys talking about early on in the game (I'm just passed the second Badge and Galactic Boss) or later on as well? Doesn't make sense that they wouldn't have plenty of Fire Types...

After you get surf you can visit Fuego Ironworks and in the grass area you can find Magmar either level 28 or 29
 
Flareon's available if you don't mind using Fire Fang (it's strongest physical STAB move).
Eevee's available as a gift pokemon from Bebe in Hearthome City.

The 3rd installment of any generation is usually considered better. There are more features added, the storyline is expanded on a bit more, and so on.

This. The postgame is a bit more expanded, as well.
 
Yeah, pretty much what they said. Platinum gives you more Pokemon as well and add to the fact that Platinum has a faster game speed than Diamond/Pearl. It's also more exciting since it adds more to the usual storyline.
