    Cool, I'm planning on pre-ordering it soon, myself. And just so you guys know, the item that unlocks Shaymin Sky Forme in Platinum has gotten it's U.S. name: Gracidea Flower.

    Looks like a pre-order bonus gift for Platinum has been revealed, and confirmed. According to Serebii, GoNintendo got confirmation from Nintendo itself that it's a Giratina Figure, presumably identical to the one from Japan. They did say, however, that people will have to check with their local retailer to see if they're offering this bonus.

    Giratina Figure? Why not a Giratina Stylus? But there is still about a month & 3 weeks remaing.

    I agree, a Giratina Stylus would've been better. But if you look closely at Serebii's picture of the figure, it looks like it may have a hole on its head... possibly for a stylus?

    So I have to take off the Dialga from my Stylus & add this one....talk about stupid! But there is plenty of time for more things to reveal itself.

    Technically, the Giratina Figure has been 100% Confirmed today.

    There is no holes on its head, it's a motionless figurine only for display purposes.

    Some new info about Explorers of the Sky has been revealed. First, the box art for the game has been shown:



    Second, it's been set for release in Japan on April 18th of this year. The gender for 5 of the partners has also been revealed; Chimchar, Piplup, and Phanpy are male, while Eevee and Vulpix are female. It's still unknown, however, if the gender is fixed or random for all Pokemon.

    Take these screenshots with a grain of salt, as there is one things I would like to point out:

    The guy in the lab coat who I guess is suppose to be Professor Elm has the same exact character design as Dawn/Lucas's father in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum except with blonde/brown hair.

    True, it's possible they could be fakes, so we shouldn't get our hopes up. Although I must say they look quite convincing...

    NYGBRIAN246: Where did you get these screenshots?

    I got it from another website. Anyway I'm tried, I'll get more pics tomorrow. Plus there was a poster that had three jhoto pokemon on it. Advertisment much?

    EDIT: I'll keep updated on this. If no major news come out in 6-8 months, then it likely won't bee true, but for now just watch the anime and see if it hinting any kind of detail. That what they told me.

    Intersting pictures, I have to agree that their pretty convincing. I would very much like a G/S remake seeing as how i never played G/S/C, however I think the only reason they would make it would be to hold us over till generation V.

    Now the info on Explorers of the Sky is really starting to burst into the open. Get ready for a massive blast of new info, which I got from Serebii:

    1. The official site confirms that it is indeed a third version of Explorers of Time/Darkness, but has a gold mine of extras.

    2. The story line is the same as the previous Mystery Dungeon Games, with the main character (you) who's turned into a pokemon.

    3. The main hub is Treasure Town again, and it has the same stores from Time/Darkness, but it apparently has more life to it. More info about this is yet to be revealed.

    4. 2 side-quests have been revealed, which help form the back story, and answer questions from the game. The first one is called "Genius Igglybuff". Here is it's description directly from Serebii:
    This episode has you play as the leader of the Wigglytuff Guild, back when he was an Igglybuff. Teamed with his friends Smoochum, Wooper, and Budew, we see and play through to find the reason Igglybuff becomes an explorer.
    The second episode is called "In the Dark Future". Here is its description, also directly from Serebii:
    This episode features the aftermath of the storyline. As Grovile and Dusknoir both vanished into the future, they encountered Dialga's army. They have been sent out to eliminate Dusknoir for his apparent failure. Grovile and Dusknoir team up as you go through dungeons looking for the explanation.

    And that's all the new info that's been revealed so far. But there's also been 14 new HQ pictures from the game now on Serebii.net, which include pics from the two side-quests, as well as a picture showing you traveling in a dungeon with Giratina Origin Forme. Anyway, more news will be brought when it comes.

    I think I remember seeing that picture months ago, and it was confirmed that it was a fake. I could be thinking of a different picture, though.

    You're not mistaken, that picture was proven to be faked. And even if it was new, it would be pretty obvious that it was a fake as it only shows Ho-Oh's and Lugai's head on their respective games, but the real games will probably have the whole body on their last all the games before them.
