People sure have a funny way of spelling best in your country.
They are the same game, just Platinum has more content and a few tweaks.
Here's the problem

Gen 4 appreciation?
I love this guy, one of my favourite pokemon, I hate snow warning though, it's a pain.
Oddly it seems no one else actually cares for Abomasnow, what the hell guys?!
Took a while to grow on me but something about this lard arse amuses me to the point he crept up my personal poke rankings. Before I was all about Electivire but Magmortar usurped him.
So good, I loved the concept of Gligar but it being weak, rather small and a few design quirks made me not like it so much, in come Gliscor to save the day, it was everything I ever wanted.
I'll leave Empoleon up to Wiseblade, he can do the guy better justice.
And while traversing the world map is a pain in the ass due to excessive HM needs I do feel that Sinnoh is a fantastic region to go through, there's something so adventurous about it, if only the Gen 4 games didn't run like complete shit i'd play through platinum again.

Gen 4 brought us great Pokemon like Monferno, Ambipom, Shinx, Gible and Leafeon. Especially Monferno, best looking monkey Pokemon around. Where did they go wrong with Infernape? He's as bad as Empoleon (Talk about another line where it went south as far as the final evolution was concerned)
I agree about Infernape as the last form is just really strange looking compared to the first two. I can't say I dislike it, but it's on a low list of my likes.

Infernape is the saving grace of his own line, in design at least.
The whole Chimchar line bums me out anyway, we already have monkeys, we already have fighting apes (my favourite pokemon no less), we already have a fire fighting starter.
The kind of gladiator style look of Infernape is the only thing that stops me sending that line to the trash heap, Monferno looks stupid enough to undo that good.
Actually it's kind of funny how the next Fire Fighting starter would end up as a Pig, a fighting ape and a fighting pig.....yeah Primeape was already both back in Gen 1 minus the fire (though it can overheat) and he never turns up in any other regional dexes outside Gen 1 and 2 either, basically what the hell are you doing Game Freak?! it's like they know that I love me some Primeape and Blaziken and started sneakily replacing them with these damn wannabes.
Emboar gets cut some slack for at least being a more slower looking and bulky fighter.
edit: upon closer inspection Monferno doesn't have a red nose, huh, that sprite tricked me, I though he was like a clown or something but it's more like one of those baboon style face patterns, okay that's not so bad but now it's like a poor mans chimpy charmeleon, flaming tail again? come on!

So...
Gen IV appreciation time.
Awesome and funny, Generation 4!
The only starter that I like in that one, final ones, is that big tree turtle.
Infernape is actually really cool. It's a fire / fighting-type done right. It's like the Pokemon incarnation of Goku, it's just cool. Nothing else needs to be said about it.
#ComeAtMeBlazikenfans
I really liked Leafeon, what a cutie. Also really fun to use, and badass in some cases (Swords Dance + Leaf Blade? Hell yes)

So much goodness in this post, though I've always thought that we should have changed Infernape in the first place.

Gen IV introduced the much needed Phys/Spec split, so it's good for that alone. Also, I really like most of the new evolutions it introduced.

Glaceon > Leafeon.
I love them both. Don't fight.

I see the list wars have started again.
On my first ever Sapphire run (I already said this before!), I used a Sableye against Tate & Liza. They crushed all my team, and Sableye was the only one left. Thankfully Solrock was out of Eartquakes, so all they had was Calm Mind and Psychic. With Nightshade I managed to win, even if my Sableye was just lv 15 at the time.

Glaceon = Leafeon

I always wanted a Grass Eeveelution as a kid, so Leafeon is very welcome. Meanwhile Glaceon always seemed a bit of an odd choice- where's the Ground Eeeveelution?

At least those things are relatively easy to find in Platinum...don't mind the whole level them up around that special rock so they can evolve, just use a Rare Candy...and magic!
And Leafeon>Glaceon

They never use old stones to make new evolutions to old Pokemon. It's like they're trying to make an excuse as to why they couldn't evolve before.

All the Eeveelutions are types that, prior to the physical/special split, counted as Special. Ground was a physical type. Logically speaking, all that's needed to complete the set is a Dragon-type Eeveelution.
Of course, this all went out the window in Gen IV, and now they can do whatever they damn well please.

Ah right... well, I always figured they were going for wide type coverage/opposing types with the choices, if you get me. Ice always seemed odd because of that, given Vaporeon's existence (hell, Vaporeon even gets Aurora Beam as a level-up move normally).
Stupid awesome

I rather suspect that they won't give a shit about their rule any more, and will just give Eevee more.
I suspect we'll see at least one new Eeveelution next gen, as signs are pointing to someone catching it in the anime. Much like Eevee and Aipom in Battle Frontier, captures like this often hint towards future evolutions that want hyping.
You will bow down to your Draceon overload.

All Eevees are stupid.

This is the series with fish->octopus evolutions. I doubt anyone really minds by this point.
I don't know, that's still cold blooded to cold blooded. I mean Pokemon doesn't really make sense at all, but it'd still be weird.
Although Vaporeon.. Okay, Eevee is special.

Dragon Eevee would be stupid, agreed. Dragon type is still the "ultimate type", as it were, so it'd kinda ruin the "balance" of the Eeveelutions. I mean, not that all Eevees are equal (lol Flareon), but you should get my point.

I think we'll probably end up with one, just to complete the set, but it'll be gimped in some way to prevent it from overshadowing the others.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, retrieved from the doodlings at the back of my childhood exercise book, I give you Little Dwebble's list of Eeveelution names!
Rock: Rockeon (lol)
Ground: Terreon
Ghost: Ghouleon
Steel: Steeleon
Poison: Veneon
Fighting: Scrapeon
Dragon: Draceon
Bug: Buzzeon
Flying: Drafteon
Normal: Eeveon
And childhood me thought a Grass-type would be Grasseon, and an Ice-type Freezeon.

Yup.
Also best region, and the perfection of the formula from Gens 1-3 (before 5 changed things up.)

I appreciate IV for its innovations (the aformentioned Phys/Spec split changed the series in a great way), but the games themselves just aren't enjoyable enough to be near the top of my list.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, but Generation V is my favourite Generation because, in my eyes, it perfected almost every factor that makes Pokémon enjoyable.

Offtopic and old, but I just noticed that Persona 4 is only 91 on IGN's Top 100 RPGs. What. The. Frack.
