    Aww, that sucks. But you don't have to preorder it to get the game, so you can always just buy it when it comes out in stores.

    I think he's mad because he does not get the preorder specials. I honestly don't care much for the Giratina toy so I would give mine to Chica if I could.

    Some stuff has been reported from Serebii, the US names of the rest of the stuff in Platinum:

    The Match Place is called the Battleground

    Cut Rotom is called the Mow Rotom.

    Spin Rotom is called the Fan Rotom. The other forms remain the same.

    The Platinum Orb is called Griseous Orb.

    I am confused with the Battle facilities reported from Serebii. More will be revealed as the day for Platinum's release gets closer.

    Battle Frontier:
    * Battle Castle keeps its name.
    * Battle Roulette now known as Battle Arcade.
    * Battle Stage now known as Battle Hall.

    I kind of had a feeling they would be changing the Battle Roulette, but not too sure how I feel it being called the Battle Arcade. I wonder what Dahlia's new title will be now.

    No idea why they changed Battle Stage to Battle Hall, though I did have a feeling they were going to change Kate's title anyway.

    Like thye changed Cut and Spin to Mow and Fan, might as well name them for what they look liek if you can fit it. But why they renamed the Platinum Orb? Sure, it still matches sort of (griseous is a fancy way of saying gray), but still. Were they trying to keep in theme with the Adamant and Lustrous Orb?

    I like the new names, but I don't see why they needed to be changed. Dahlia is sill a goddess though.

    I find it messed up that they changed the Japanese names to these weard sounding names like Thorton. But, this is for 10 year olds and the producers want the little kids to be able to remember the names so, Meh.

    I actually thought that the only one who's name might not change would be Kate while Dahlia's name would sound the same but be shortened by taking out the silent "H". But as it turned out Dahlia's name was kept the same while Lady Caitlin's name sound/look similiar to her Japanese name.

    There is no reason to change names except to make them for "local" or themed sounding (Albiet in a round-about way).

    Dahlia, huh SPDShadowRanger? What ever happened to Lucy?

    Lucky SOB and anyone else that can get to New York on Saturday! Why? Because they are having a some sort of party and many players can buys Platinum on Saturday, which is one day earlier. There is no chance in Hell that I can go but hey, I was patient and those people buying it one day earlier shows that they are impatient and that they are Master Game Freaks! So glad I am NOT one!

    If not, MadWorld will have to be enough (sickest game for the Wii, ever.)

    It isn't officially released until March 22nd, but those who go to the release party at the Nintendo World Store can get a copy a day early.

    Weird... I didn't pre-order Platinum, yet I woke up at the EXACT time my local Gamestop opens for the release and I didn't set my alarm... odd, considering I should've been asleep until like 11 lol
