Pokémon Platinum

Summary

When the game begins, the player is watching a newscast about Professor Rowan's return to Sinnoh. Just then, the player's best friend runs in, and the two head for Route 201 to get a Pokémon from Professor Rowan. However, Rowan sees them and reprimands them for endangering themselves. His assistant (Lucas or Dawn, depending on the player's gender) comes along, and Rowan lets the player and Barry each choose among a Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup. After choosing, Barry, who later becomes the rival, challenges the player to a battle, having picked the Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's choice. After the battle, the two head to Lake Verity, where they meet Cyrus. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives them a pair of Running Shoes before the player leaves for Sandgem Town. The professor gives the player a Pokédex and the player then sets off to explore Sinnoh and defeat the Gym Leaders in order to advance further in the plot, challenge the Elite Four, and become the Champion of Sinnoh. During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil Team Galactic and its leader, Cyrus. When the power of Dialga and Palkia, summoned by Cyrus, begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf appear, and Giratina drags Cyrus down into the Distortion World.

After facing off against Cyrus, the player is then forced into a battle with Giratina. After the battle, Cyrus disappears and the player heads to Sunyshore City to take on the final gym leader, Volkner. Jasmine, whom the player meets there, gives HM07 after the gym battle, and the player then heads to Victory Road. After the final battle against the friend and rival, the player faces the Elite Four and Cynthia, the reigning champion of the region.

After the player defeats Cynthia, there are further activities to pursue in-game. These mainly concern the capture of previously unavailable Pokémon, extra features such as the Poké Radar, exploration of previously inaccessible places such as the Fight, Survival, and Resort Areas and the perfection of battle skills in the Battle Tower. At the Survival Zone, the player will help Looker finish off Team Galactic by arresting Charon.
