NEW ADVENTURES: EMBARK ON A NEW ADVENTURE IN PLATINUM!



In Platinum, the time-ruling Dialga, the space-ruling Palkia, and the Ruined World resident Giratina appear! In Diamond/Pearl, you weren’t able to see them appear at the same time. In Platinum. Meet the legendary Sinnoh Pokémon in Platinum!


Strange things are happening all over Sinnoh
The evil organization “Team Galactic” exists.
They stand in our adventuring hero’s way.

Left screenshot: Interpol appears!? This is the Interpol member that’s chasing Team Galactic! Can he catch them?

Right screenshot: New Team Galactic member!? Not remembered to be seen in Diamond/Pearl, this one person looks like a member…who is this?

The Ruined World (yabureta no sekai) is yet another world inhabited by Giratina. In this very mysterious world, what adventures await?

In this Ruined World, Giratina is in its original appearance, its Origin Forme. Outside of the Ruined World, Giratina cannot be kept in its Origin forme..or can it?

An official one-minute trailer promoting Pokémon Platinum was shown during Japan’s Pokémon Sunday.

Some observations:

Lucas is shown exploring the new, darkened Sinnoh Underground with a flashlight
The protagonists are shown exploring the Ruined World with its climbable waterfalls
The Battle Recorder shows the last 30 recorded battle videos
Giratina’s Origin Forme is rendered in awesome 3D.

July Official Site Update Part 2 of 2: GTS and Wi-Fi

Last week, when we translated the July update on the official website, we accidentally skipped over some sections. (Thanks to Kaphei for the heads-up!) They have been provided below.
NEW ELEMENTS: BRAND NEW GTS!

The Global Trade Station (GTS) in Jubilife City has many new features, including the debut of the brand-new “Global Terminal!”

The Global Terminal enables one to exchange Pokemon with one’s friends in addition to the GTS [which involves trading with complete [strangers]. Wi-Fi communications can be used to send data, and enter yourself into a ranking.

A new item called the Battle Recorder can be used to record and send “Battle Videos.” These videos can be exchanged with Pokemon fans around the world–what fun!



NEW ELEMENTS: PLAY GAMES WITH DISTANT FRIENDS VIA WI-FI!

In the basement of each Pokémon Center, players who have Wi-Fi communications enabled can gather to play in “Wi-Fi Square.” Players exchange Friend Codes to engage in Wi-Fi Battles and tradetrades, make Poffins together, and play other games. The games that are playable in “Wi-Fi Square” are home to the Wi-Fi Club.

Hmmm, I haven't played a Pokemon game since Pokemon Red on the GameBoy, has anyone here followed the series since back then?

Do the games still play similarly or has the whole concept been reworked?
