Thanks, I think I’ll go the platinum route.

Thanks! I just checked comparison a of the games and I was happy to see that platinum fixed the surf speed.

I’m totally going to go that route.

I just need one more badge in gold? Elite 4, then johto

After that, I’ll do emerald, then platinum.

Thanks! I wasn’t aware of the issues, so I’ll watch a comparison video when I get to that point.

Yeah! Exactly. I rarely care about a games story and Pokémon doesn’t let you skip any of that stuff.

Each time it comes up it’s like a boring interruption to the game.

It’s the main reason that I stopped playing those games.

I think I’ll play up to black and white 2, but if there is too much story, I’ll just drop it.

Thanks! I plan to replay them up until that point.

A follow up question, I’ve never played diamond/pearl. Should I play the switch or the ds versions?
