[bp]Pokémon Platinum Version[/bp] Is confirmed and set to release in Japan on September 13th 2008.

 

[Snake Bandage]

Platinum? That doesn't make any sense.

 

[Trainer-c]

Neither did Crystal in the metal generation.

 

[nYoo]

The Japanese 'spelling' for Platinum is プラチナ (Puratina, from the Spanish word Platina) which is similar to ギラティナ (Giratina). That could be an explanation for the name.

 

[Æsahættr]

Aww, I wanted my Opal version.

Nevermind, if this is to be believed, Underground Wi-Fi! Yes!

 

[Habunake]

Regigigas Sky Form!!!!!!!!!!!

Fucking Yes!

Also, Volkner leaving the Gym I thought would happen. Wonder who will take over? And I wonder if he'll become the Champion, or just a regular E4 member.

 

[Shinx3000]

I'd love to see Giratina's Origin Form as well as the other form, that would be awsome

 

[Ash_Pokemaster]

Oh great. No remakes. -_-

 

[Yash]

Shinx egg? I wonder what that's about.

 

[Doctor Oak]

It looks like it's just a pre-order bonus, with a special attack on it.

 

[cassius335]

It looks like it's just a pre-order bonus, with a special attack on it.

Volt Tackle?

 

[Silktree]

The webmaster has approximated the probability of the rumor's being nothing more than a lie at 80%.

The rumor also stipulates that Regigigas' alleged new form will have Levitate as its ability (as opposed to Slow Start). I strongly doubt that a new form could be so vastly superior to the original Pokémon.

Everything else reeks of the same mindless speculation that so many fans have been spouting for the past year and a half.

 

[Kasumi]

Nevermind, if this is to be believed, Underground Wi-Fi! Yes!

FUCK YEAH! I love the Sinnoh Underground, and having the chance to play with your friends over Wi-Fi is going to rock my socks.


But if Volkner wont be the Gym Leader in Sunyshore... I'm going to cry. ;__;

 

[Habunake]

Why are you being so adamant against any form of speculation when you do the exact same thing all the time?

 

[Kasumi]

Because only his speculations must be true.

 

[Silktree]

I have never, ever done anything close to presenting my speculation as an early CoroCoro leak.

 

[GrnMarvl14]

Everything else reeks of the same mindless speculation that so many fans have been spouting for the past year and a half.

This coming from the person who spent a year swearing we were going to get Thunder Yellow?

 

[Kasumi]

Owned.

 

[Silktree]

This coming from the person who spent a year swearing we were going to get Thunder Yellow?

What is this ad hominem argument trying to achieve, exactly? For your information, that opinion never pertained to a Yellow remake, but to a Game Freak game released between Emerald and Diamond/Pearl. It wasn't mindless and it had more merit than a rather random application of a formula used in a past game.

 

[Habunake]

Well, maybe, but most of the things mentioned here don't seem too odd. And past formula, I mean, that's like Pokemon's life blood dude.

* Irc, Flint mentioned asking Volkner to join the E4 in DP.
* We got a huge island with a Battle Tower, turning it into the new Frontier makes sense.
* And you yourself even mentioned how Shaymin's alt form would probably be a second type and be available in Game 3. :X
