I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 06-19-2008, 11:24 AM

When is it coming out?

**March of the Covenant** · 06-19-2008, 11:37 AM

No clue as of yet.

Rolls-Royce Man · 06-19-2008, 11:46 AM

BUT WE WANT IT NAO!

Ok, I'm really being confused by this "Pokemon Forms" thing. Though I do enjoy that picture with Giratina's Ginormous Wings.

X-3 · 06-19-2008, 04:29 PM

^It works like Deoxys.

I like the sky form of Shaymin. Looks like it's ready to kill.

**March of the Covenant** · 07-14-2008, 10:49 PM

Eventually, the first post is gonna contain all the info as I get it. But for now, this is the newest stuff that I know of, taken from Serebii. WIth some of my input tossed in

* Pokémon Platinum is set for a September 13th 2008 release in Japan
Damn them for releasing it on my birthmonth in Japan.
* You have to face Team Galactic once more, but it seems their plans and HQ have been stepped up a fair bit
I really hope this doesn't mean the is gonna be like in the 70s byt he time you face them...
* The Battle Frontier returns and takes place in the Fight Area in Sinnoh. There are different areas in the Battle Frontier, their battle quirks are not yet known. However, it does still contain the Battle Tower
I've missed the Battle frontier, too bad I lost Emerald.
* The WiFi area has been enhanced with various areas which support up to 20 people at any one time
Meh
* The Poffin making has taken a step up and has a new feature that involves a Swalot machine. You essentially throw berries into its mouth. This can be done over WiFi in the new WiFi area
This could be interesting.
* The Battle Recorder, an item seen on the Shaymin pictures last week, allows you to record battles that you hold and share them with your friends. This is done at the new & improved GTS in Jubilife City, which has a bigger global terminal
THis also very well could be interesting.
* There is also confirmation of the Shaymin form changes and a note about the Giratina ones. It appears that like in the movie, Giratina's Origin Forme can only be used in the Torn World, and its in its Another Forme elsewhere. It is unknown if there will be an item to use to keep it in its Origin Forme, but the main method will be revealed next month
I'll get back to you on this.
* Shaymin Sky Forme's ability is Serene Grace. It appears to be more focused in Speed and Special Attack and knows the move Air Slash.
Good to know
* Giratina's Origin Forme's ability is Levitate.
Meh
* The pictures also indicate and confirm new sprites for each Pokémon including Bidoof, Giratina's Another Forme & Shaymin's Land Forme
Win.
* Confirmation of the new characters shown last month, one is a member of Team Galactic, and the other is part of an international police force and is hunting Team Galactic
Interesting...

Be sure to keep an eye on serebii.net or whatever you prefer to get information as it comes out.

Crap, I want this game!

Jailbreaker · 07-17-2008, 09:04 AM

It comes out in America in early 2009.

**March of the Covenant** · 09-11-2008, 03:44 PM

Platinum has been released in Japan.

Pokémon Platinum

SephirothKirby · 09-11-2008, 04:17 PM

Torn World looks ****ing awesome, but I'm not shelling out another $40 for the same Pokeymans game.

It's a great advertising scheme, though. This one in particular, it's above the Pikachu in Yellow.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 09-11-2008, 06:46 PM

I will sell my Diamond game soon probably and put the money towards Platinum.

They know that I will buy it twice...I hate them. It better have some rare ass Pokèmon and alot of other crap.

I think the best Special Edition was Crystal (Yellow had a good Surfing Minigame though). I hope this one can match up.

**March of the Covenant** · 09-11-2008, 07:09 PM

I'm gonna buy it, because I feel I have to, haha.

Jailbreaker · 09-12-2008, 06:27 PM

Wow, I didn't know you were from Japan. Ahhh, the beauty of internet and wifi...

Swiffer Sweeper Vac · 09-12-2008, 06:56 PM

Demonic Lemonade · 09-12-2008, 08:15 PM

Bidoof better be in that game.

Bidoof ROCKS

**March of the Covenant** · 09-12-2008, 08:16 PM

^^^What? Haha, as far as I know, no one here is from Japan...

Jailbreaker · 09-12-2008, 08:40 PM

Then how will you get it? Ebay? I thought it wasn't coming out in even America for months.

This is a memorable thread just because you posted that.

**March of the Covenant** · 09-12-2008, 09:30 PM

By saying I am, that means I am going to buy it once it comes out in America.

Jailbreaker · 09-12-2008, 09:45 PM

Well I should think that goes without saying. Yah same here.

MarioJR · 10-11-2008, 11:01 PM

the new Giratina form is sooo cute!
And I'm pretty neutral about the new form of Shaymin, except the fact that it don't look like a porcupine anymore.
