The first Pokemon Platinum screenshots of the upcoming Nintendo DS RPG have been revealed. The third game in the Diamond and Pearl series will be released in Japan in fall 2008, with worldwide releases following in 2009. According to Impress, various new elements will be added to the story over Pokemon Diamond and Pearl such as a “power raise” and appearances. That’s likely referring to the Pokemon Platinum new forms and such that were confirmed earlier.
As you can see from the evil shadow appearance of the Giratina origin form (above) in Pokemon Platinum, it replaces Dialga and Palkia as the main Pokemon that’ll be hunted by Team Galactic.
