The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the ds OS and software. There are two components for playing a ds Pokémon Platinum game on your PC. The gameplay stays true to traditional Pokémon mechanics. While it only had one form in Diamond and Pearl, it is given a new alternate form alongside a new area called the Distortion World, which features altered physics from the normal land of Sinnoh, where the game takes place. The mascot Pokémon is Giratina, who plays a central role in the game's plot. In Platinum, players control either a male or female child character and start off with one of three Pokémon - Chimchar, Turtwig, or Piplup - from Professor Rowan. The developers made Platinum with the intent of making it a stronger version of Diamond and Pearl, which they described as the 'ultimate' Pokémon titles. It was released on September 13, 2008, in Japan March 22, 2009, in North America May 14, 2009, in Australia and May 22, 2009, in Europe. It is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl in the same vein as Pokémon Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald, which were remakes of Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, and Ruby and Sapphire, respectively. It was developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld game console.
