    I got it from a website I never heard of , so I guess it a fake. Anybody seen the poster for the next movie or do I need to post it up?

    This thread is for upcoming games, not upcoming movies. Besides, if you're talking about the 12th movie, there's a pinned thread for it at the top of the page, in case you hadn't noticed. And yes, we've all seen the poster, and it's posted in that thread, too.

    I brought this up because it might be hinting at the game. If you seen the poster then I assume you know what it looks like?

    Get back to video game discussions por favor. Mystery Dungeon Sky seems like a game to get. Why? Phanpy is a starter!

    It has been almost a moth since I pre-ordered dumb Platinum & there is another month & a week to wait. Technically 5 more Sunday's after this one to go.

    It first started at that, then Movie 12 came in the picture.

    As for the Remakes, I doubt it will come anytime soon, maybe it will be released in CoroCoro in Summer 2009.

    Hey everyone, I just had a quick question about Pokémon Platinum:

    Reports say that when you preorder Pokémon Platinum, you get a Giratina figurine but only at participating retailers. Does anyone know if Toys R US is participating in this event? My Toys R Us participated in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and gave out Dialga and Palkia styluses to anyone who preordered the games, but I just want to make sure for this one too. I don't want to drag my aunt over there and find out it was just a big waste of time.....

    Unfortunetly there is no way to tell if a Toys R Us is participating in a giveaway or not. You can call them up and ask, but that's the best suggestion I can think of besides driving up there on the day of the release and hoping they are giving out the Giratina Figurine.

    A little more news on Explorers of the Sky: Serebii has opened a new page regarding the details of the two episodes featuring Igglybuff, and Grovile and Dusknoir, if any of you want to take a look. Serebii has also opened a new page regarding Treasure Town. It's almost exactly the same as in Time/Darkness, but there are some new features to it that are yet to be revealed...

    Well I called them today, and they are having a preorder sale. I asked about the Giratina figurine, and they said they had plans to give them away but only at the actual time of the purchase, meaning March 22nd for me.

    I went today and preordered two copies, one for me and one for my sister. I'm actually surprised since Toys R Us isn't promoting it as much as Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. For Diamond and Pearl, there were poster cut outs of Dialga and Palkia and they gave out the styluses when you preordered them. I just hope they give me the figurine next month, or I will be upset!

    When I came back home, I saw a commercial for Pokémon Platinum on tv!!! It was so cool, and it showed the Reverse World, Giratina, and even the Wi-Fi rooms. It also showed the Giratina figurine and said it can be found at local retailers. On the bottom it said it may be given out during the day of the purchase!

    It looks like Lucas' name in Platinum has been changed to "Plato". The site PokemonPlatinum.com has been launched, were you can find all sorts of Platinum related things, like the Regigigas Event as well. But the site is experiencing some problems as well. Check bulbapedia because I am not sure if I am missing anything on the website, like a "-" or something like that.

    Plato? I liked "Lucas" better, the new name sounds pretty lame... Anyway, Touch Toys have also been changed to Tap Toys, and the mini-games are now "Swalot Pop", "Mime Jr. Top", and "Wobbuffet Pop". There will also be an online game called "Pokemon Switch-a-roo", and you can download wallpapers and screensavers for the game in the Fun Zone of the website.

    Actually, I think Lucas will be staying Lucas, just one of his other default names are being switched with Plato. If you go to Lucas's page on Bulbapedia, you'll see that Lucas altogether has 19 other default names in Diamond and Pearl. So I think thsi "name change" is no big deal but rather to "further" advertise Platinum

    Okay, I looked through the website and one thing I found that in the "New Adventure" section they have a sub-section "New Characters" and on the 3rd page they have the silhouettes of the new Frontier Brains (minus Palmer for obvious reasons of him being known) and Pluto... I mean Chrono. Why I'm pointing this out because we as of now don't know what their names will be in the English version. Incase you are wondering what their Japanese names are: (excluding Palmer, who is the Tower Tycoon of the Battle Tower, of course)


    Nejiki - Factory Head - Battle Factory

    Kate - Stage Madonna - Battle Stage

    Dahlia - Roulette Goddess - Battle Roulette

    Kokuran and Cattleya - Castle Butler - Battle Castle

    Though now looking at some of the titles and Battle Facilities, they might change some of those.

    Goodie, amazon.com. I'm pre-ordering it this weekend. I have to wait and see how my potential ebay purchase goes.

    Even though I didn't pre-order Platinum from Circuit City but what happens to those people who already pre-ordered it before the news came out about it closing up?

    Circuit hasn't been doing on any pre-order for a while. Circuit City was planning to close way before Pokemon Platinum was even released for Japan. C.C. was declare dead a long time ago. All that left is the local stores to close on it own and C.C. will start dying soon.
