CoroCoro Mag recently revealed that the latest Poké-craze, Pokémon Platinum, would be released in the near future–a story that Nintendo Japan jumped on to confirm. But what will this mean for the Poké-fanatics? Apparently Pokémon Platinum will “serve as a companion to the two current-generation titles, Diamond and Pearl — much like Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald did for their respective generations.”

Kotaku quips that “we’ll likely be treated to new sprites for many the monsters, and a few tweaks to the story, but not many new entries into the ol’ Pokédex. Perhaps that expansion will come in the franchise’s next generation, Pokémon Ununbium and Cadmium.”

    they need to stop with all these new pokemon games…they are getting way out of hand with all these new types of pokemon. its too much change from the original…why not make an updated version of yellow, red, blue, gold and silver? those are the only games that have any good pokemon in them….i think they made way too many games.

    i totally disagree with planb_skate2008 they do need to keep making new games because thats how you get a larger customer base… by updating there original into better and newer game

    i think they should change the storyline cause its the same thing everytime.you move to a little town and also you can only choose three different kinds of pokemon and theres a group of villians that you have to beat. like i said its the same thing everytime
