Today Circuit City's website revealed that Platinum will be released in the U.S. on March 22, 2009.
As of now the known names changes are Pluto to Charon and Ruined World to Distortion World.

... hmm, more like $39.Not too sure about the name changes:
Pluto - Charon:
I see nothing wrong with Pluto/Charon's name being Pluto, and in some ways it seemed to make better sense then Charon. First off, Charon sounds like a girl's name (though in mythology it was the name of the ferryman of the River Styx, which makes me ask why they have Pluto's name changed from the god of the dead to a servent of the god of the dead while all the other Commanders got to keep their names). Anyway, since Pluto/Charon was added in Platinum and you don't battle him (he's more of a scientist), Pluto seem more appropriate since Pluto was a planet that got downgraded to a dwarf planet, which seems similar to how we (or at least) I view Pluto/Charon: he is a Commander yet doesn't have the seniority as Saturn, Venus, and Mars so gets downgraded by them in a way. Also Pluto is better well known then Charon, though both Pluto and Charon are considered double dwarf planets.
Handsome - Looker:
I always thought Handsome's codename was strange, and though Looker makes a little more sense I think the name could have been better.
Torn World - Distortion World:
Distortion World isn't that bad of a name, but doesn't really roll off the tongue as Torn World.

Haha. Uranus... Now THAT would have been an LOL moment. 
Sry... but I guess Charon isn't so bad. It's like hitting a brick wall, but covered in fluffy down:
Cyrus~Mars~Jupiter~Saturn~//Charon... // = Fluffy Brick Wall
Distortion World is better than I would have guessed, and as for Looker, well, that's just retarded.

He has Light Purple hair, naming him Neptune (A BLUE Planet) would be even worse. Plus, you don't fight him in the games, hence the joke of Pluto since Pluto is no longer a planet. They wanted to keep that "joke" so they named him Charon. At least they didn't name him Nix or Hydra. Those would be weird. |

The title has been revealed, so I don't see what the problem was. I bet you $1,000,000 that this thread will be made with the same exact name, its just plain stupid.

Hopefully the release date stays the same or its earlier.| SPDShadowRanger wrote: |

Yeah have to agree with that there even though the whole trademarking names thing is the part of the copyright laws that I dislike but anyway with the hardwork I put on my games I should have fun breeding my Pokemon with the Platinum move tutors for those who need it.
The Battle Recorder is renamed: VS Recorder, then there's the Wi-Fi Plaza, Global Terminal & all the other names previously mentioned are confirmed. No that's some good news
Because I am sure happy due to this!
