Pokemon Platinum

The third version of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl has been announced in the latest issue of CoroCoro magazine in Japan. So far, these are the only confirmed info:



This was the only scan revealed in the magazine.

"The release date for the game is listed as "Fall 2008." The page gives a brief description of the game, which Bangiras has translated: "Pokemon Platinum is the story of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl with many new attributes added." It also says, "Giratina is the key to a new adventure."

Confirmed Information:

   * Giratina is catchable in the game in its Origin Form at level 47 (the same level Dialga and Palkia are encountered at in Diamond and Pearl).
   * The Pokemon Trainer's outfit is now colored blue.
   * Giratina's Origin Form's ability may be new, since it is listed as "???" in CoroCoro (if it were a known ability, it would probably be listed).
   * The HP bar, at least when you battle Giratina, has been redesigned.

Unconfirmed Information:

   * Platinum will feature a "Battle Island," similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier.
   * The "Underground," which in Diamond and Pearl was only accessible via DS communication, is now Wi-Fi enabled so you can play your friends over the internet.
   * Platinum will feature a new form of Shaymin (which may be part-Ice type) and Regigigas (which may have Levitate as its ability).
   * Volkner, the Gym Leader of Sunyshore City, is no longer a Gym Leader.

Release Date:

   * Japan: Fall, 2008
   * America: Spring, 2009

Well the latest Diamond and Pearl games had Wi-Fi, new Pokemons and it was on the freaking DS. And really Diamond and Pearl was the 7th most sold game in the past 12 months beating the likes of Mass Effect, Bioshock, and even Assassin's Creed. So I see no reason for the series to die  Very Happy

WTF I MUST BUY Its sorta like emerald though. Ruby, Sapphire, and then Emerald came, a more detailed version with new features. Does this include wifi or anything?
