Our next Pokémon game in the lineup is Platinum! This time around, instead of dealing with Team Rocket and Team Magma/Aqua, we’ve gotta deal with Team Galactus and the out-of-this-world thinkings and ramblings of their leader. We find out about ultimate lifeform Pokémons that can stop time in its tracks and control every other Pokémon. It gets super wild, especially towards the end. Meanwhile, on the more grounded side of the game, we travel through the newest land, taking down Pokémon gyms and trainers along the way and making it to the Elite 4 with our very underrated, underappreciated team! We take down Cynthia and become the greatest Pokémon champion that gen 4 has ever seen with our super amazing team! We try to do a bit of the post-game island stuff, but most of that is locked until you completely fill up your Pokedex. For the purposes of beating the game becoming champion, this playthrough is here!
