Official Pokemon Platinum Thread

[Darkslash]

He will still be there, all it is is an extra dimension (likely located at the back of spear pillar where that wierd symbol is (not the flute).


Congrats on 1000 posts darkslash .

lulz i just noticed that when you said it

So far i heard that shaymin is land form in pearl/Diamond and Sky forme is platinum

 

[Firus]

Nosepass are based off of the Easter Island statues. not noses. so no. eyes an lips won't be next, unless they have ancient statues of those too...

seriously. Nosepass is awesome. it looks absolutely ridiculous, which is just awesome. Probopass is even better because it has a 'stash. Shaymin looks like a chia-pet. which is not only lame, but isn't cute either. it's new sky forme is totally awesome. it's doesn't look useless, it doesn't look gay, and it looks 18 times cuter then regular Shaymin could even hope to be.

A) Are you just guessing, or has this been said at some point?
B) It is CALLED Nosepass. It doesn't matter if it's based on the Easter Island Statues, it has NOSE in the name, meaning the nose was supposed to be a big part of it.
C) They don't have any business basing Pokemon on statues anyways. What are we going to have next; a human Pokemon because there are famous statues of humans? The whole logic behind him is stupid, no matter HOW you look at it.

One last thing for future reference; when you shorten moustache, it's 'stache, not 'stash. Not trying to be mean, just telling you now, because if in the future you tell people you have a stash...well, let's just say that's not good.

Also, as for Shaymin, I don't know what your definition of cute is. Cute to me is...well, you can't even define it. That thing would be, if it actually looked remotely good, cool. But it doesn't even look cool. It's a failed potato. Shaymin is cute. Get over it.
In fact, henceforth, Shaymin, real Shaymin, shall be known as Shaymin. If I refer to Sky "forme" Shaymin, it'll be Failed Potato.

Seriously, why DOES everyone have such a grudge against Shaymin? Is there something I'm not getting here? Heck, it's cuter than Manaphy at least, and Manaphy is just...blargh. So why don't you go after that thing, WHICH CAN BREED AND HAS A DIFFERENT POKEMON, DEFYING THE LAWS OF LEGENDARIES AND POKEMON IN ONE GO, instead of poor Shaymin that does nothing but be cute?

I would have to disagree, the new Shaymin does look cool, but the original although it did look like a chia-pet was allot better especially since it was an awsome little hedgehog.

YES!! Cookie for you. *Gives cookie*
ORIGINAL Shaymin wins.

I'm pretty sure the HoO is it's own dimension as well, so there shouldn't be any issues there.

It's not.
I've been in the Hall of Origin. Here's what happens; you play the Azure Flute near the door in Spear Pillar. A staircase appears. You go up the staircase, and there's Arceus. You can even see Spear Pillar (granted, it's blurry) from up there, so it's not in a different dimension.

o_O @ Spire

I second that...

Also, to Spire, I just want to let you know that in the future when Failed Potato is available for fusions etc., I will REFUSE to do anything with it, so either you, bowser, or Mewter is going to have to deal with those requests. Because I refuse to touch Failed Potato.

 

[Bowser King]

I'll use "failed potato".

 

[Darkslash]

alright guys prepare for it

THE NEW COSTUMES!!!!!!!

Names are from the special manga
Also old costumes for comparison

Lucas/Diamond
Diamond and Pearl

Platinum

Dawn/Berlitz
Diamond And Pearl

Platinum

Barry/Pearl
Diamond and Pearl Version

Platinum version

The new costumes look sweet. Not some recoloring but new designs. not sure about Barry/Pearl though. Its just longer sleeves but that counts right?

Also it seems the Poketch seems to be part of their jackets

 

[Firus]

OH...
MY...
GOD...

THOSE COSTUMES ARE AWFUL!

Lucas looks WAAY overdressed, and Dawn looks like some...ugh, I don't even know WHAT she looks like! Bah. (Are you happy now, Cranky? It's become a part of my vocabulary.)

And amongst all of the uglifiication, Lucas still has the beret and Dawn still has a pillowcase.

Thanks for posting, though, Darkslash.

EDIT: Just checked Serebii, and they have better pictures now, with one new one.

The new Torn World picture removes all doubt, it's another dimension. Those lights that I thought I saw aren't there, there's a background like some sort of other dimension or something.

One last thing.

WHY did they have to add Failed Potato to the banner? It was a good banner before. Now it just fails. Like a failed potato.

 

[zrky]

I have to agree with Firus on this one, the new outfits look stupid except for Barry(but it's just longer sleeves)

 

[Darkslash]

Umm it makes more sense if you know whats happening >_>. Though it looks like you don't

 

[Bowser King]

Ya, the weathers getting colder. That lone scarf isnt going to help anymore. Why it's getting colder is unknown.

Im just happy we get something else to do after/before the elite 4. In D/P all you did was chase team galactic and thats it. Now we get more to the story.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

They look all winterized.

Well clearly Lucas is a Christmas pimp and Dawn is his Hoe-Hoe-Hoe.

I just lost my Diamond so this will be a nice replacement.

 

[Firus]

Umm it makes more sense if you know whats happening >_>. Though it looks like you don't

It doesn't matter what's happening. The outfits look idiotic, whether or not the weather's getting colder. Lucas is wearing a freaking tie. Heck, Dawn's outfit doesn't even make sense if it's getting colder, because her legs are completely uncovered. And actually, I do know what's happening.

Well i like them. I mean how cold will Mt. Cornet or Snow point be really if sinnoh is getting colder o_0

 

[Wrath`]

I think the outfits look cool, but whene will they have custimizible outfits on there handhelds?

I want to get registee agisnl, he was my favorite. and i'll have 4 of theme to.

 

[zrky]

Does anyone know if you get Regiggigas first, because I just saw a picture on serebii where Regigigas was fighting Regirock.

 

[Wrath`]

In these pics, why do registeel and regice look huge? they are only about 6 feet in stature. or are the giant lifelike statues?

 

[Bowser King]

well, they are golems I believe. Check serebii they'll tell you the hieght.

 

[Wrath`]

well, they are golems I believe. Check serebii they'll tell you the hieght.

if i remember correctly. registeel 6' 3" regice 5' 11" not the 11' it looks now

 

[Firus]

Well i like them. I mean how cold will Mt. Cornet or Snow point be really if sinnoh is getting colder o_0

Well, that's your opinion, I have mine. It's not the fact that they're wearing something fitting to the fact that it's getting cold that bothers me, it's WHAT they're wearing. I mean, a tie? And as Terios said, he looks like a pimp. Seriously.

Dawn just looks like she's wearing one of those outfits that...I don't know. But it looks stupid. And she's wearing galoshes. Unless it's snowing EVERYWHERE, that's stupid. It's just..the outfits look really strange. They look like a rare occasion outfit, not an outfit you'd wear on a regular basis, or for years on end as these guys do.
Even so, they didn't need more than summer-type clothing to traverse Snowpoint and Mt. Coronet last time, so why should they need to go all-out with winter clothes now? Ultimately, it's cool that they made it realistic, but it's really stupid at the same time. I'm not exactly sure why, it just seems really pointless to me.
This is all my opinion though, don't feel like I'm trying to insult you with this. I just feel very strongly about these new outfits. Except Barry's, which again, is just longer sleeves.

One question though; where exactly did we get all of this information on Sinnoh getting colder? I mean, I heard that it's getting colder here, and I haven't seen it anywhere else (and by anywhere else, I mean Serebii, since that's generally the best site for info 90% of the time). I'm not doubting that it's getting colder, I'd just like to read up on this at the source for more info.

 

[Bowser King]

to end the fight.......1 vote for customizable clothing!!!!

 

[Wrath`]

When the special Regigigas that comes with the pre-order ticket for the 2008 film is traded from Diamond/Pearl, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel appear in the story

decided to look at wikipedia(llooll) but this quote above. is it factual?

 

[Bowser King]

They said the same on serebii (manI go there to much ) so im guessing it's true.

Yea I agree Dawn's looks stupid. And yes its snowing every were but not extremely like Snowpoint. Its like light snow thats gets wet quickly. There's some snow in Eterna city in the Intro screen. And yea it said so on the scan too i think XD. The only reason why there are 2 new characters are that they are investigating why the hell its getting colder. Maybe it's colder because of the regis?

Any ways, yes the preordering the ticket for the movie, you can get all the regis

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Wait. So if it's getting all cold and stuff I assume you have to fix it right? As in it's not going to snow everywhere. As in when the snow stops you're going to look even MORE ridiculous.

 

[Wrath`]

what about thoese who dont pre oder? i do have all of the regis's from R/S/E, but i'd like to see them agin, they better not do this shiz agian like with all thoese hot spot shiz.

 

[bored]

Shaymin looks like a Digimon in his sky forme.

 

[Yaya]

Win Shaymin is Win.

I actually like Dawn's costume, but good god, Lucas looks like his Mother just dressed him for the prom.

 

[bored]

I wouldn't say the prom...

Ugh, whats with the obscenely long, white scarf/tie?

 

[D13]

Shaymin's new form looks really awesome. :D

 

[Cat Fight]

I actually like Dawn's new outfit... *cough* <.<;

 

[Firus]

Really? Well, even so, if it's just like flurries or something, you don't need galoshes for that.
Bah, that stupid scan. It's times like these I really wish I could read Japanese.
As for why it's getting colder, I'm going to guess it's Regigigas. Originally, it was supposed to be Ice Shaymin and Flying Regigigas. Yet, we know it's Flying Shaymin, so I'm going to assume it's Ice Regigigas. And if so, it would make nothing but sense for it to be the cause of the cold. Wonder if all of the legends are going to be pre-Elite Four now? Giratina will be, Regigigas probably will be...heck, Shaymin may even be event-less.

Wait. So if it's getting all cold and stuff I assume you have to fix it right? As in it's not going to snow everywhere. As in when the snow stops you're going to look even MORE ridiculous.

...Hahah! You're right! That's going to be beyond ridiculous. "Hey, look at me! I'm wearing galoshes and a poncho in the summer, and it's not raining either!"

what about thoese who dont pre oder? i do have all of the regis's from R/S/E, but i'd like to see them agin, they better not do this shiz agian like with all thoese hot spot shiz.

I'm going to hope, pray, and assume that the Regigigas event will be just like the Darkrai event; the Japanese people have to go to the movie, we just have to go to a Toys 'R' Us or something. But that's being pretty hopeful.
If we have to pre-order a ticket to the movie, I just won't get the Regis. I refuse to pay to see a Pokemon movie, and I especially will not pre-order a ticket. The Pokemon Anime has only gotten more stupid as time has gone on.

But on a slightly related note, I wonder if there'll be a reserve bonus for Platinum? Maybe we'll get a Giratina stylus. That would be awesome, and it would complete my collection. I really don't regret reserving Diamond and Pearl. Those styluses (styli?) are not only better than the normal ones, but they're collector's items, and quite cool ones too. Especially with the cheap, plastic stand. No, but seriously; that'd be pretty cool.

Shaymin looks like a Digimon in his sky forme.

Agreed. Failed Potato is a Digimon.

Win Shaymin is Win.

I actually like Dawn's costume, but good god, Lucas looks like his Mother just dressed him for the prom.

Failed Potato fails, and so does Dawn's costume, in my opinion.

But yeah, Lucas looks like his blind mother just dressed him. Who wears a tie when they go on an adventure?

Hahaha! That last line made me laugh out loud. I think they should...no...never mind. I'm not telling you what I was going to say. It'll have to be a surprise.

Yeah, remember when I said this? Well, I present you with...

MissingNo. revamped! Yay.

 

[Spire]

I like the new clothing, actually - much more than the outfits for D/P.

Also, I'd like to say that the following image is one of the coolest Pokemon boxart covers to date:

 

[Bowser King]

spire, I put the boxart on the first page. If you dont mind me using it.

 

[Spire]

spire, I put the boxart on the first page. If you dont mind me using it.

Awesome! Glad that you did.

 

[Darkslash]

Sweet i was looking for a better version of the boxart(bulbapedia's is to grainy at the moment)

I am so buying this on the first day lol

 

[Bowser King]

Im pre-ordering. Like firus said, they probably will come with a (origin?) girtina stylus which would be cool. It would also be a way to tell my stylus from my brothers as when he loses a stylus he claims that it was mines >_>.

 

[MysticKenji]

spire, I put the boxart on the first page. If you dont mind me using it.

You should probably also change this:

" Alternate Ice form Shaymin (not confirmed)"

And Lucas looks like an Empoleon impersonator to me, which makes him full of lol and win.

 

[Bowser King]

Man! I had that in mind but I started a fusion and completely forgot. I'll change that right now.

 

[TheGlitchMaster]

That new Missingno is teh pwn.

 

[Darkslash]

That new Missingno is teh pwn.

Missingno ftw!!!! LOL Missingno is the new Mr.L

 

[Chagen46]

So... are you going to just import your team from D/P to platium or make a new one.?
And Shaymin's now form does look wierd, but cool.... in a wierd kinda way....

I always start new teams. I don't believe in importing unless there's a Pokemon that I really want and it is not available anywhere on the version that I have. I love the feel of a fresh start.

I'm definitely starting with Piplup this time around. I hate Infernape.
