How to Get Manaphy and Complete the Sinnoh Pokedex in "Platinum"
When playing Pokémon Platinum, you receive a Pokedex that contains information about all the Pokémon that you've captured while you play. Your ultimate goal as a Pokémon trainer in the game is to find all the Pokémon and complete the Pokedex. Unfortunately, this task can't easily be completed. One Pokémon, Manaphy, does not actually appear in the game -- although you'll still need its Pokedex entry. To get Manaphy you'll need to travel to a mansion on route 212 and find a book that contains information on the hard-to-find Pokémon. After reading the book, your Pokedex will update with an entry for Manaphy.
