I bought my copy of Pokemon Platinum for one reason and one reason only. The Pokemon video game championships. They said you need a copy of Platinum if one is to participate. Had it not been for that I would have stayed with my Diamond version where I had evolved all the starter pokemon and had them each in their own teams. I am willing to find, catch and train any pokemon to any level, breed any pokemon, even trade my legendaries for the starter pokemon and several others that I need. If you have the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn starters (along with Chimchar and Piplup). Leave a message if you are intersted in networking so that together we can be a force to be reckoned with at the championships!!!
