The Third Installment in the Pokemon Diamond Pearl Series should be a hit coming out in early 2009. Many Fans have been anxious for this game for a long time playing other wi-fi games passing the time and continuing to play Pokemon Diamond over and over thinking of new strategies. I personally hoped for a Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal Remake but whatever, I'm happy nevertheless. Discuss the rumors and I will update this thread and confirm if they are true in the coming 5-8 months.
A bunch of news was released on Serebii.net today.
The game is officially confirmed along with some details:
Pokemon Platinum is going to be released September 13, 2008 in Japan.
You have to face Team Galactic once more, but it seems their plan and HQ have been stepped up a fair bit.
The Battle Frontier returns and is in Sinnoh's Battle Park.
The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with various areas which support twenty people at a time.
The poffin making has taken a step up and has a new feature that involves a Swalot machine.
The Battle Recorder, an item seen with Shaymin's pictures last week, allows you to record battles that you hold and share them with your friends. This is done with a new and improved Global Trade Station.
Shaymin's Sky forme's ability is Serene Grace. It appears to focus more on Special Attack and Speed and can learn the move Air Slash.
Giratina's origin forme's ability is Levitate.
Conformation of new characters shown last month, one is a Team Galactic member and the other is part of the International police force and is hunting Team Galactic.
The site isn't working properly right now, so I'll post the new updates soon.

The Blue Sky blog has released more information today on Shaymin's transformation. To transform the legend into its sky form or ground form you must obtain Glacidia's Flower which is a key item that is given to you at a certain time in the game at Floaroma city.
You just select the item, then Shaymin and he'll change to either form.
More information about Shaymin's form will be released soon so stay tuned.
Heres my source, it contains pictures too: Pokémon Platinum - The Shaymin Factor
