Usually I don’t like to report rumors, but when you have other news sources spreading the same story, knowing full well there’s no official press release or scans to back it up, you can’t help but report it yourself. Plus this just adds more to the excitement of the next upcoming title in the series…

The following claims to be leaked details from the latest issue of CoroCoro magazine — on sale May 15th. All information gathered came from blue skY, who obtained their info from this 2ch thread. Once again everything below, besides the title and release date, is considered “rumor” at this point…

  • “Pocket Monster Platinum” scheduled for release in September — with Giratina on the cover.
  • A “Battle Frontier” is in existence in the form of a “Battle Island”.
  • The eight D&P gym-leader Denzi, specializing in Electric-pokemon, is said to no longer be the leader of Nagisa’s Gym. A new character will be.
  • Giratina’s “Origin Form” will have the ability “Levitate.”
  • Regigigas’ “Sky Form” will have the ability “Levitate.”
  • Shaymin’s “Another Form” will be Ice Type.
  • The Underground is now Wi-Fi enabled.
  • Those who reserve the game in advance will receive a ticket for a Shinx egg that knows a special move.
