Probably one of the most successful franchises on the Nintendo DS handheld console, the Pokemon franchise, will welcome a new member to the family and it will be called Pokemon Platinum. The news has been revealed in the latest issue of the Coro Coro Magazine and, even though most of the fans would've loved to get a brand new Pokemon game, Platinum will only be an
expansion. Still better than nothing, right?
According to the magazine, the only facts confirmed officially are those regarding the name (Platinum, that is) and that it is an expansion, like Pokemon Yellow for the Red/Blue games. However, the rumored specifications of the expansion surely give fans a few reasons for joy, especially because it is said that The Underground will be Wi-Fi enabled. Also, we'll probably see Giratina on the box when the game is released this September. A new area, called Battle Island, will be introduced and it will be similar to the Battle Frontier.
Also, fans will notice a few alterations in Gym leaders and Pokemon placement. For example, Volkner will no longer be the Gym leader of Sunyshore City, Giratina and Regigigas will get new forms which will allow them to get the Levitate ability, Shaymin will be at least partially Ice Type with its Another form, and a few new other forms will be introduced (Giratina - Origin Form, Regigigas - Sky Form).
Even though Nintendo will probably run out of names for their Pokemon games (at least if they decide to stick to the minerals), Pokemon Diamond is still one of the best in the franchise, generating a lot of interest from fans worldwide. We have a wide coverage of action replay codes, hints and lots of tips from users here and it's surely worth a visit. You should at least try to find all the secrets until Pokemon Platinum is released...

Dusk Gold and Dawn Silver |
| Comment #2 by: J on 15 May 2008, 23:18 GMT | reply to this comment | They would probably remake G/S for GBA since it would not make sense to place it on the DS and give it so many enhancements . . . They just need to make one Final game with all monsters in it all regions and all features ever introduced . . . and call it Pokemon Universe |
| Comment #2.1 by: DarkNess108 on 05 Jun 2008, 20:30 GMT | no the Pokemon Nintendo franchise want to make money and they made hella lot with diamond and pearl (especially diamond) so as long as they are successful they will continue to keep on going with new games.
ps they are gonna need to figure out what they are gonna name it lol xD
they'll figure it out |
| Comment #3 by: Joao on 15 May 2008, 23:41 GMT | reply to this comment | I'm not understanding the thing of Origin Form and Sky Form for Giratina and Regigigas. I don't like the ability of Regigigas in Diamond and Pearl but the Levitate Ability? |
| Comment #3.1 by: Jesse on 26 Jun 2008, 15:44 GMT | Giratina when traded from Diamond or Pearl to Platinum will change to the origin forme...Regigas has no alternate forme, the only thing different with Regigigas is that if you trade the Regigigas given away at the Pokemon 11 movie in Japan from Diamond or Pearl to Platinum then it will allow you to catch the original three Regi's in Platinum version...the sky forme pokemon is Sahymin and it is a grass/flying type...not grass/ice...to verify this go to either seribii.net or pokemon.co.jp |
| Comment #4 by: Den on 17 May 2008, 05:15 GMT | reply to this comment | There are dawn silver and dusk gold, I think those were the remakes of Gold and Silver. |
| Comment #4.1 by: anonomys on 13 Aug 2008, 00:17 GMT | there were no such things!!! Just Crystal version smart one |
| Comment #5 by: Will on 17 May 2008, 19:36 GMT | reply to this comment | Wow! I just wish Crystal was expanded... |
| Comment #5.1 by: Kieran on 23 May 2008, 13:04 GMT | Crystal is an expansion, of Gold and Silver, |
| Comment #6 by: Daniel on 18 May 2008, 03:22 GMT | reply to this comment | hey nolan do you go to jordan middle school |
| Comment #6.1 by: Nolan on 27 May 2008, 16:20 GMT | No...
@Hris: Yeah, I know. I'm talking about the Dusk and Dawn games. |
| Comment #7 by: tyler on 29 May 2008, 00:58 GMT | reply to this comment | yo I heard you can get palkia and dialga in the game. Word on events in japan theyre giving away a lv 100 regigigas and lv 50 shaymin |
| Comment #7.1 by: Raa-tai! on 01 Jun 2008, 18:37 GMT | yeah they give you shaymin and regigigas if u go to the 11th movie and what not. |
| Comment #8 by: Raine on 30 May 2008, 23:58 GMT | reply to this comment | I agree, a new version of those would be great.
And, Pokemon Crystal isn't a remake, it's a continuation much like Emerald and Yellow. A remake is when the game's graphics, sound, etc. are remastered. An example being FireRed and LeafGreen.
Since Crystal is still my favorite pokemon (possibly altogether) game to date, I'm eagerly waiting a remastered version. |
| Comment #9 by: pie! on 08 Jun 2008, 15:55 GMT | reply to this comment | what about a continuation for fire red and leaf green why not a pokemon waterblue! T_T |
| Comment #10 by: rod on 12 Jun 2008, 01:17 GMT | reply to this comment | dude platinum will have sky forme shaymin and ice form regigigas and a new place called tornworld made by giratina and there is going to be a battle frontier like area and if u bring shaymin to platinum from D P it will automattically transform into sky form shaymin which is grass and flying type. plus the weather climate in sinnoh got colder so there will be two new people added in the game to investigate which is caused by ice form regigigas. |
| Comment #11 by: gold on 14 Jun 2008, 00:13 GMT | reply to this comment | remake gold /silver it was the best one. |

| Comment #22 by: m E` on 05 Aug 2008, 06:23 GMT | reply to this comment | they should make an expansion on firered n leafgreen
pokemon prob still has heaps to come b4 they call it quits so dont plan 4 a final all-in-one game just yet. but its good to hope. |
| Comment #23 by: Enzo on 07 Aug 2008, 00:26 GMT | reply to this comment | GOLD/SILVER were the two most awesome pkmn games ever. plus it had 2 regions to play in. GAMEFREAK please just make one huge game with every single region reachable by ferry train or airplane. that would be cool. :) seriously. but im still stoked about the gauntlet game thats coming out for the ds. its supposed to be like the seven sorrows. -.- |
| Comment #24 by: Andy on 11 Aug 2008, 11:22 GMT | reply to this comment | Regigigas in not going to have a sky forme. It is Shaymin who is getting a Sky Forme. All I know about Regigigas is that it is the opposite now. Instead of getting the 3 regis to get regigigas wake up. You need Regigigas to get the 3 regis. But the Regigigas to get the 3 regis is the one given out at the 11th movie (Giratina and the sky's bouquet). But it is true that giratina will have a origin forme. But I heard that Giratina's origin forme can only be used in the Torn World in the game. If it is at anywhere else it will be it's Another forme. |

| Comment #25.1 by: shibby on 23 Aug 2008, 10:32 GMT | listen i read al your previous comments and i think a Pokemon eternity would be the best idea Nintendo's ever gonna have (going through all the regions will be awesome like Pokemon gold/silver/crystal) but it would obviously take ages to remodel every region in the game with items Pokemon locations people who wanna tear you apart etc. but it would be interesting to see team rocket again!!! |
| Comment #26 by: Kody on 22 Aug 2008, 14:52 GMT | reply to this comment | Why not make a Pokemon game with all the pokemon ever made plus new ones, 13 gyms with different types, have the Elite Four have the remaining four types, the Pokemon League Champion have random types, and the starter pokemon be any three of the starter pokemon from the other games such as Chikorita, Torchic, Piplup, etc. |
| Comment #27 by: Kody on 22 Aug 2008, 14:56 GMT | reply to this comment | I think the the pokemon in Kanto was "the main", Johto was original, Hoenn was the best remke of real life animals/objects, and Sinnoh was the cutest!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Comment #28 by: Szag on 29 Sep 2008, 21:28 GMT | reply to this comment | Actually, Shamin has sky form and nit regigigas |
| Comment #29 by: nintendo ds on 03 Oct 2008, 01:48 GMT | reply to this comment | they should make a pokemon game that lets you travel in between all the regions with the story line from the older games in each region... |
