There are several different rivals in the game which span a range of different levels in the game where some of them are considered to be very important in this alternate world. Just like with the official video games, the player has a rival they are constantly battling with throughout the game however, Light Platinum doesn't just stop with one rival.

While the story isn't amazing, it's still entertaining enough to keep players interested in the game and provides a nice background for the gameplay. It's a decent story for a fan-game but is still very amateur compared to the official Pokemon games players who are looking for a strong story should look elsewhere as plot enthusiasts will be disappointed by the quality of this story. The story is straightforwards with no complicated twists and the new Team Rocket-esque villains have a very generic reason for being evil the generic reasons helps make their intentions very clear as the game progresses. The player must select a first generation starter Pokemon to battle the Team Steam grunt with and keep as they begin their journey into the new Zhery region. It follows the classic Pokemon routine where the player needs to save the Professor except in this game, the action starts very quickly and the evil Team Steam make themselves known very quickly.

Light Platinum features a new story set in the Pokemon world with an entirely new evil original team named Team Steam the game starts with the player in a dream sequence involving four legendary Pokemon before being send to visit Professor Jasmine in Central City.
