Ch’ya, it’s ‘Pokémon Platinum’

Well, the rumors appear to be true!

A third game will soon sit next to your copies of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl — Pokémon Platinum Edition! Like those of Yellow, Crystal and Emerald, Pokémon Platinum will be yet another installment to the DS-Generation Games, Serebii confirms. The thumbnail presented is what appears to be a scan from the upcoming Coro Coro edition, featuring Giratina as the poster Pokemon of the game.

The page gives us a brief screenshot of what Serebii is saying is a new battle interface. It is clear, however, that the main character is sporting an azure outfit that is screaming winter!

Serebii is also speculating:

• Pokémon Platinum will be set for September release.
• Giratina will be featured on the box.
• Volkner will no longer be the gym leader of Sunnyshore City
• The Underground is now Wi-Fi enabled
• An island called Battle Island works in the same manner as the Battle Frontier
• Several new Pokémon ‘forms’ exist in the game; Giratina’s Origin Form, Regigigas’ Sky Form, Shaymin’s Other Form

Hopefully, more details will arrive soon.
