CoroCoro Magazine reveals Pokémon Platinum

Published by Christian at 10:29 am

080511platinumscan.jpgCoroCoro Magazine has revealed Pokémon Platinum, the third game in the 4th generation series of Pokémon games.  It shows off the new “Origin” form of Giratina used in the upcoming movie, a revamped battle interface, better clothes for the male lead (thank God). Some other reported features include:

  • September release (in Japan?), Giratina on the box
  • Volkner is no longer the Sunyshore City gym leader
  • The Underground is now Wi-Fi enabled
  • Battle Island revealed; same concept as Battle Frontier in Emerald
  • No new Pokémon (obviously), but some new forms including Giratina’s Origin Form, Regigigas’ Sky Form, as well as Shaymin’s Another Form. The former two gain the “Levitate” ability, while Shaymin’s new form is part Ice-type.

This isn’t one of our jokes, but it’s not been 100% confirmed by Nintendo either. For now, we’ll stick it in the same category as Kid Icarus for the Wii: it’s coming for sure, we’re just waiting on the Nintendo announcement. Thanks to piplupmaster for the heads up.
