Pokemon Platinum release dates so far known are: Japan Fall 2008 & the US early 2009! Apparently Giratina isnt the only one with a new form! Shaymin has a new form known as "sky form" which is a grass/flying type! ::note:: shaymin will convert to its sky form once its transferd from Diamond or Pearl. Also the main characters have new outfits! reason why is b/c of the sudden climate change,which has made the sinnoh region colder! And apparently there are new areas to be explored in the up and comeing Pokemon Platinum! All this is featured in the video Shaymins "sky form",The new Outfits along with screen shots of shaymins new form! Pokémon Platinum is the third game in the Diamond & Pearl series. It is for the Nintendo DS and is set for release in Japan in Autumn 2008 and likely in America in Early 2009.
