Really quick post. It's about Platinum. Oh joy.

One major problem I've noticed in-game so far: lag.

In Eterna Forest and Hearthome City, trying to run places causes the game to randomly start dropping in frame rates and slowing down pretty frequently (this is especially true in Hearthome).

I haven't really noticed the effect if you avoid running/increasing your movement frames and the effect isn't too crazy (though this makes leveling in Eterna Forest while walking around with Cheryl much more difficult).

While it's clear Hearthome's new "there are like 800 moving objects on screen at the same time" is detrimental to the frame rate, I'm not sure if Eterna Forest's drop is due to the new "canopy" effect with shadows and breaks for sunlight on the forest floor or if the effect is due to you dragging two bodies around instead of one (coupled with the new visual effects). I guess I'll have an update the next time I'm partnered with another trainer.

Other than that, my progress has stifled in-game due to OCD with completing my Pokedex as well as GRINDAN/power leveling my team between gyms.

Just a heads up for those of you still unsure about buying the game or who've had even less time to play than I have. Kind of mad at myself for not reporting this sooner.
