POKEMON PLATINUM CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!

Hello!!

I have managed to get onto the computer, and found out exciting news: Pokemon Platinum, Giratina’s version, has been confirmed by CoroCoro!! Here are some known things about it:

-The main character’s costume has been changed slightly, like in Emerald.

-Giratina, Regigigas, and Shaymin all have alternate forms in the movie and are catchable in Platinum! This includes Shaymin: Land Form and Shaymin: Sky Form, as well as a new Regigigas form and Giratina: Normal and Origin Forms!

-There will be a new Battle Frontier!

-Volkner is not the final Gym Leader, and may be replacing Cynthia as Champion, following Emerald’s plotline of replacing Champion Steven with Wallace, the former final Gym leader.

-You can use Wi-Fi in the Underground!

 

Hopefully we’ll find out more! Until then, keep at your Mystery Dungeon 2’s while you wait!

Hi and bye

I just wanted to let everyone know that I was on an unexpected vacation for the past few weeks, and will be taking a short leave of absence. When I get back, the updates will be finished. Thank you for waiting!

2 New Pokemon in Movie 11!! and Pokemon Opal?

Continuing from the last post: there are two NEW POKEMON in the 11th movie: Giratina and the Bouquet of the Icy Sky: Shaymin! Their names are currently Pokemon A and Pokemon B, and although Pokemon A appears to be a secondary form of Shaymin (like Giratina has Origin Form), Pokemon B is likely to be a NEW FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON!! 

 

Also, CoroCoro, a Japanese magazine that often releases info on new Pokemon games (including Mystery Dungeon 2, Diamond and Pearl, Pokemon Ranger Battonage, Ruby and Sapphire), had a timeline of Pokemon games in the latest issue. It then said “2008: ???”. Is this Opal?

I’ll try to get more updates as soon as possible, so stay tuned!

FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!

A press release has stated that there will be a new Pokemon in the eleventh movie: Giratina and the Bouquet of the Icy Sky: Shaymin!!! It is seen as a question mark right now, but most likely it is a fifth generation Pokemon. Here’s why:

1. The only D/P Pokemon that has not been released is Arceus, and Arceus will probably be in the 12th movie, and not the 11th.

2. Munchlax first appeared a long time before Diamond and Pearl came out.

3. Most likely this will be, again, something like a pre-evolution so we can recognize it, just like we all knew that Munchlax was some sort of baby form of Snorlax, or Bonsly and Mime Jr.

4. Regigigas, Shaymin, Giratina, and Dialga have already been revealed to be major characters, and it appears that this Pokemon is a minor character - again, like Munchlax.

5. On the other hand, it COULD be a special Opal Pokemon (if there is an Opal Version), like Giratina: Origin Form might be.

Here is a picture. Look on the panel to the right, below Normal Giratina, diagonal from Origin Form Giratina, and to the right of Shaymin.

Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension!

Hey guys!

This just in: the next season of Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl is called “Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension”! The first episode is ‘Tears for Fears’, which is about Chimchar adjusting to Ash’s training methods, as opposed to Paul’s harsh ones. It will be airing on Cartoon Network on April 12th, so stay tuned for more info!

Tick tock…

This is a random post so you know I’m on. I’m really busy, and things happen, the world spins, and life goes on, so I have less time to work on Pokemon Strategy (sniff…). I can’t make any promises, but I should probably have everything, including all the new updates, ready in a few weeks. I apologize for everything, but everything will be ready in due time!

Speaking of Time…

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Time and Darkness should hit the shelves soon, and preorders are now being taken! You can find them at your closest GameStop, Game Crazy, Target, EB Games, or pretty much any retailer that sells video games. They come with an Explorer’s Guide for your version of the game, and include some starters and partners, interviews, gameplay and a quick peek at the beginning of the story, version differences (including a few exclusive Pokemon and items), a brief walkthrough of one of the first two dungeons, depending on if you preordered Time or Darkness (the dungeons are Beach Cave, the first dungeon, in the Darkness guide, and Drenched Bluff, the second, in the Time guide), and even a manga strip at the end! (the manga strip is about Team Pokepals, consisting of a Chimchar (human) and Turtwig (partner))

 If you look at the interviews in the Time guide carefully, you will notice that Darkrai may be involved in the plotline… Will it be good, like in The Rise of Darkrai (the 10th movie)? Will it be evil, like in Diamond and Pearl? Or is it just Darkrai, a second-to-last or a post-game boss? (We already know who the final boss is:

Dark Dialga!!!!!!!)

Also mentioning Time… the next Featured Pokemon has something to do with that! Stay tuned for the updates!
