News has been moving around the internet faster than you can crack a ‘ya mum’ joke about a new Pokémon game by the name of Platinum for the Nintendo DS. After much speculation Nintendo of Japan have finally confirmed Pokémon Platinum as the companion to the DS best selling titles Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
This is hardly unexpected, looking at the track record Nintendo have generally released two versions of the popular handheld games and followed up shortly after with a third title. Platinum will act as the companion title much as Pokémon Yellow, Crystal and Emerald have in past generations. There will be new evolutions for Pokémon, new entries into the Pokédex and perhaps some slight tweaks to the story.
There are currently no confirmed release dates for Pokémon Platinum, although it currently looks set for a (American) fall 2008 release in Japan.
Check out the Pokémon Site for more information, but I warn you it may help if you can speak Japanese.
