Would appreciate if anyone could answer these for me please.

I plan on buying a DS at some point soon, mainly for Pokemon Platinum.  I've not played a pokemon game since Pokemon Blue about 10 years ago now, keep waiting for a full 3D version on a console, but it seems that isn't going to happen.

I was hoping someone could clear some things up for me please,

1.  Where is the 'partner' game, like red/blue.  Or is it a stand alone game like yellow, which worked with red/blue.

Stand alone

2.  If it is stand alone, what are the most recent Pokemon games?  Diamond/Pearl?

Yes

3.  If stand alone, what are the differences between it and the paired games?  Yellow just seemed to have characters from the TV show added, but I guess that would have already been done in the recent games, so what exactly is new?  Is there anything I won't be able to do on platinum that I could on the others?

battle Frontier-like Island, where you finish collecting the 8 badges and beaten the leader, you go here to get more badges or whatever they call it here.

4. On the N64 I bought a Pokemon stadium game, and it allowed me to use my Blue pokemon on it in full 3D and do a bunch of stuff, I see Pokemon Battle Revolution for the Wii, but apparently it sucks?  Stadium on N64 had a sequal, any plans for sequal to this?

No

5. Will platinum even work with Battle Revolution?

I don't know for sure =/

6.  When is it getting a Euro release?

soon, so far not confirmed yet, but it could take time >_<

7.  Can anyone recommend any other good DS games please, without listing any form of RPG, or any Nintendo made games.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow,Meteos, Phoenix wright, 

Pre-thanks for replies.
