Blog caught a Pokemon Platinum Video!

Blog used Embed Video!

But enough of that. While previous Pokémon Platinum trailers have wasted time showing us Pokémans frolicking in meadows, this latest serving comes with a great big dollop of gameplay sauce. There's more of that weird, topsy-turvy level that we're itching to wrap our minds around, some coverage of Wi-Fi play, plenty of battles, and those five silhouettes of the "new" Pokémon that you may have already theorized about.

You can also hit the break to see the most relentlessly chirpy man and woman in Japan talk us through Platinum's minigames and Wi-Fi mode, assisted by some cute kids.

That spinning level is f*ck-awesome.

So, is anyone else going to trade all of their uberleet EV trained pokemon to Platinum using their sibling's/friend's/Phat-that-is-lying-around-ever-since-the-Lite-came-out DS, bulldoze through the game with those, just so they can play that topsy-turvy place? Cause I know I am.

How did you know my secret plan?! :O

You have to remember about the fact that high-leveled traded pokemon will be disobedient until you obtain certain badges...

My level 99 Charizard need not obey. Only to lay down swaths of death and fire.

nice video that showcases all the new things and features in Platinum! At the end it seems like the voice man gave a hint about those five silhouettes, but I can't understand the rest because it is in japanese =(

I'm not a fan of post-GSC Pokemon games, especially their music, but I'll be damned if that main theme never gets old.

Whoa at the end, did I just see two Gym Leaders in a double-battle?

Wiinterfang @ Aug 13th 2008 5:23PM

No just any 2 gym leaders but the LAST GYM LEADER and a freaking member of the elite 4.
O__0.

I'm sorry to all the Pokemon haters out there, but that was friggin' awesome!

I know I'm one Pokeholic that can hardly wait for this game to be "localized" and released in the US (or at least an English speaking country).

I thought I read sometime in January '09?

Right? Anybody?

Not wanting to get caught up in symantics, I refer to myself as a Pokeholic.

You can call yourself whatever you like. Bottom line is we all like Pokemon and can all get along, right?
