The mountain range extends to the south into some other region. Mount Coronet is a vital point in Sinnoh as this is where the creation of the entire region is based around. It also can effect the evolution habits of various species of Pokemon. The Sinnoh region is heavy in mythology and lore, with the meaning of the Japanese name meaning just that.

Pokemon Platinum features a few areas which can't be found in Diamond and Pearl. One place of great importance, is the new Battle Park, is found only in the Platinum version. The other major location is the access to the Distortion World, which is where the Pokemon Giratina awaits as he greatly impacts the story in Platinum.

Giratina is the focus of the plot as opposed to Dialga or Palkia. Many other differences are abundant in the third part of the series, and can be found at the appropriate pages.
