What the differences between pokemon diamond/pearl and platinum?

I know all of the pokemon, that was easy to look up, but platinum has to have some extra special features right? That's how yellow, crystal, and emerald were. So what makes platinum platinum.

Also which is the better buy because me and my friend are getting back into pokemon and we're both going to buy a game. I was gonna get pearl, he diamond, but i completely forgot about plat.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
