Pokemon Platinum is coming!

Looks cool I guess. I hope they close the grinding to 100 gap. D/P was the most painful game to lvl your guys to 100.

Yeah, but anything that required your Pokemon to be at level 100 just pushed everything right up to level 100 anyway, so once you beat the Elite Four, its just, "level to 60 or whenever it learns that last move I want, then wifi/battle tower."

Info is from serebii and Neogaf, plus the latest Corocoro, Japan's Pokemon mag of choice. here's what I could gather.

Fall 2008 release in Japan.
Giratina is on the cover.
Giratina, Regigigas and Shaymin all have new "forms" like Deoxys does. Regigigas is said to have a "sky" form and Shaymin a "winter" form.
New Electric gym leader.
New costumes for main character.
Underground is now Wifi.

and some other very minor details with a lot more info promised this summer. Fall 2008 probably means an early release of it next year in the US. I hope they make it a bit faster in game speed but do want regardless.

One of the things i'm looking forward to is the reverse world with giratina they are adding.

I played Diamond up until just after the champion elite four thing, and stopped... but I'll probably get this and get more into it cause I'm a fag.

Alot of shit didn't do that, like PBR 6v6, unless you wanted gay 50 cap. And I think you could only do 50 cap for 3v3 also. I forget. Anyway it's also used for boasting. In all my other games I had a team of 100s because thats just how it is when you vs in RL too. Dont really level cap there.
