UPDATED DEC 17!



Official Nintendo press release:
REDMOND, Wash., Dec 17, 2008 -- Continuing its commitment to create fun and engaging experiences for everyone, Nintendo of America Inc. today unleashes a broad list of exciting new games for the first quarter of 2009. Topping the list is Pokemon(TM) Platinum version for Nintendo DS(TM), a remarkable new entry in the beloved Pokemon series, slated for a March 22 launch across North America.

...

Pokemon fans in particular will have plenty to cheer about as Pokemon Platinum is readied for its U.S. debut. Following the vast popularity of Pokemon(R) Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, Pokemon Platinum is the newest in the core series of Pokemon games. Pokemon Platinum features a new story full of adventure, never-before-seen forms of powerful Pokemon - including the legendary Giratina's Origin Forme - and the Distortion World, a mysterious new world that suddenly appears in the Sinnoh region. In addition, with Pokemon Platinum up to 20 players can interact with other Pokemon fans from around the world in the new Wi-Fi Plaza, featuring mini-games and activities. Players can also enjoy the new features in the Global Terminal, such as posting battle videos using the new "Vs. Recorder." In addition, Pokemon Platinum features a new Battle Frontier, where the toughest Trainers can test their skills in new ways. Pokemon Platinum already has broken previous Nintendo DS sales records in Japan, selling more than 1 million copies in its first two days of release.

Translation guide:

  • yabureta sekai (lit. Ruined World) --> Distortion World

  • Wi-Fi Hiroba (Wi-Fi Square) --> Wi-Fi Plaza

  • Galactic Commander Pluto --> Charon

  • Detective "Handsome" --> Looker

  • Battle Recorder --> Vs. Recorder


Product description:

As the story unfolds, players will encounter the mysterious new Distortion World, an area unlike any seen in a Pokémon video game before. The Battle Frontier area (first introduced in Pokémon Emerald) has been added to Sinnoh, containing five new Battle Facilities for Trainers to challenge, each with its own special rules. Players can explore the new Wi-Fi Plaza – a virtual Pokémon amusement park filled with activities, including three new mini-games where up to 4 players can compete at once.

  • Distortion World: As the story unfolds, players will encounter the mysterious new Distortion World, an area unlike any seen in a Pokémon video game before. The normal rules of time and space don’t apply to this world, allowing the area to push the limits of the Pokémon game world. Players leap from pieces of land suspended in midair, walk sideways and even upside-down. The Distortion World, where the powerful Giratina resides, is somehow connected to the regular Pokémon world.

  • The Battle Frontier: The Battle Frontier area (first introduced in Pokémon Emerald) has been added to Sinnoh, containing five new Battle Facilities for Trainers to challenge, each with its own special rules. Each facility is run by one of five new “Frontier Brains” (characters that are similar to Gym Leaders). The new battle formats in each facility allow players to challenge themselves in new ways.

  • Wi-Fi Plaza: Players can explore the new Wi-Fi Plaza – a virtual Pokémon amusement park filled with activities, including three new mini-games where up to 4 players can compete at once. Up to 20 players from around the world can connect together in the Wi-Fi Plaza to experience games, take part in parades and even see a fireworks show.

  • Enhanced Storyline: New characters add to the story, including Charon, a new Commander of the villainous Team Galactic (who is suspicious even by their standards) and an undercover detective, codenamed “Looker,” who is in pursuit of Team Galactic. Looker will help you throughout your adventure. Team Galactic has a new scheme– they’ve turned their sights on all three Legendary titans of Sinnoh – Dialga, Palkia and Giratina (all three Pokémon appear together in this game for the first time).
