I started my copy of Platinum a few days ago. It was difficult coming up with a name, due to the 5 character limit, but I settled for a shortened version of my other screenname; Arc. I got myself a fun ID number of 64346, and SRed for a Timid Piplup, then proceeded on my way to the first Gym in Orebourgh. Piplup gracefully flattened the opposition thanks to it's type advantage, by blowing a few.. Bubbles, in their faces? Well whatever..
I also traded myself a Rotom egg from Pearl whilst in Orebourgh, hatched it and sent it back to Pearl to EV train before returning it to Platinum again. Next, I then went through Eterna Forest with Cheryl. I found and caught a Gastly whilst I was strolling through, even though it was day.. I guess the trees overhead keep the area dark enough for them to stay out at all times ^^
Arriving at the end of Eterna's revamped Gym, I found that Gardenia was still a pain in the butt. Roserade, I had to bring it down by getting Gastly to Curse it, and subsequently sacrificing itself. And now finally i've made it to Hearthome, and beaten Fantina. There were similar difficulties against her second Pokémon, and my now-Haunter brought it down the same way. What a hero, involantary albeit 'x3
My party currently consists of -
- Lv. 27 Prinplup/No nickname, Timid natured. EVs, random.
Pound / Metal Claw / Bubblebeam / Bide.
- Lv. 26 Rotom/Nova, Timid natured. EVs, 252 Sp. Atk/252 Spd/6 HP.
Uproar / Shock Wave / Trick / Substitute.
- Lv. 26 Bronzor/No nickname, Sassy natured. EVs, random.
Extrasensory / Hypnosis / Iron Defence / Confuse Ray.
- Lv. 26 Haunter/No nickname, Modest natured. EVs, random.
Night Shade / Shadow Punch / Curse / Confuse Ray.
.. and everyone's favourite scapegoat/HM slave - Bidoof.
Now that I have downloaded the Secret Key, i'm going to have some fun with Rotom ^^
Edit:
Do you know anyone in real life who owns Platinum and has downloaded the Secret Key? According to the info posted on the front page, those who have downloaded it will be able to send the Wondercard to 4 other people via local wireless connection.
Otherwise, maybe you could find some place that has a Wi-Fi connection you could borrow ;O
