Diamond and Pearl Follow-up Info Leaked? *UPDATE
Posted by pKjd @ 11:12 am10 May
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.
[UPDATE 05/11/08] - First CoroCoro scan released. The words “Pocket Monster Platinum” can be read at the top:
[UPDATE 05/13/08] - An even higher-res scan has surfaced. No official release date has been announced…
[UPDATE 05/15/08] - Official website announcement.

Let’s see just how much of this is confirmed. Until then, I have nothing to say.
[Update] — seems there’s a scan out from the latest CoroCoro issue.
It looks like Pokemon is going platinum. (^_^)
It makes me wonder just how much blue skY got right. Being a freak for event pokemon, I’m interested in knowing what move the hatched Shinx will have.
…….So what is this, the game that links diamond and Pearl?
@Maou Ashura:
It looks to be equivolent in nature to the Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald versions. Platinum may well be what Yellow was to Red and Blue for Diamond and Pearl.
I’ve been waiting for something like this, as I never got into Diamond and Pearl.
I see………. So what’s the deal with that ghost/dragon… thing?
[Update] — there’s now a notice on the official website.
@ Ashura:
That’s Giratina, which is like the Pokemon world’s equivalent of Death. It’s name is an equivalnet of the French name “Guillotine”, after a man who invented an execution device by the same name.
I don’t know more than that. Giratina’s backstory isn’t explained much in Diamond and Pearl. Apparently, it is the ruler of an alternate dark dimension. It’s called a “Renegade Pokemon” in the English dex, and has the appearance of a dark angel, so one can assume that Giratina is like a Devil to the pokemon world.
I still don’t have much to say about this game. There has to be more different things. I like the new darker battle data icon, and the new outfit for the characters (I want to see a Platinum outfit Hikari!). So far, it’s just aesthetics.
The pokemon equalent to satan/devil/ president bush……. Heelllloo censorship, 4kids’ is gonna have a field day with this guy. Just be careful, they just might dump rainbows and put a smiley face on ‘im to make him more “presentable” to the american public, him being the dark god of sorts is “too extreme” for the kids. Just by the name renegade pokemon sounds like the already got to him. you know this to be true.
4kids no longer has the licensing rights to Pokemon. Nintendo has been doing it themselves for about two years now. But yeah, 4kids would probably do that.
I just hate them so much.
Raichu, you ain’t the only one. The fail that it represents hurts my eyes and questions my faith in humanity. They have to be the only company that (And I’m not making this up) censored the word “taxi”. How do you like them apples?
