I would disagree. I actually think it looks ALOT better. Can't wait to buy the game.

Also can't wait to see what sprites Space Guard rustles up for us.

Mitchman May 13th, 2008 11:41 AM

Also the info we gt in a day would be only a preview. I think E3 will reveal a whole lor more.

Space Guard May 13th, 2008 12:34 PM

I'm not entirely finished with the sprites as of yet, I've taken a break from Giratina (too fustrating!) and am attempting the hero sprite (in battle) and it's roughly 17% done. I'm going to bed now so I'll continue this and hopefully get something done by friday at the latest!

If we take a look at this picture, we will see a silhouette of Giratina. Now, notice that Dialga and Palkia are also in the background. Something else I have noticed is that Spear Pillar looks different than it had looked in Diamond and Pearl.

http://www.serebii.net/platinum/giratinaorigin.jpg
A closer look at this picture reveals that the hero's outfit has changed. It is not only the colors, but the type of clothes he is wearing. In this battlescene, the hero appears to be wearing a blue jacket, while in the D/P sprite he is wearing a black and yellow vest over a white short sleeves. His backpack has changed from yellow to a silver color. Also, Giratina's sprite appears to have no platform beneath it!

---

To add on, it has been confirmed that Giratina will not have the Levitate ability. However, it's ability will change. Serebii states that its ability will be ???
Nothing has been confirmed of Regigigas or Shaymin's abilities or anything else.

paperfunk May 13th, 2008 1:04 PM

i have just a couple questions regarding the new forms of shaymin, regigigas and giratina. has any new information on them been confirmed yet? like what shaymins other type will be, or whether giratina and regigigas will have levitate?

EDIT: didnt see that last post. sorry!

AJ™ May 13th, 2008 1:26 PM

Does anyone have any idea why Giratina's HP bar is Black/Green.
And why its HP bar goes out of the ENTIRE box.

Also,
I think this might be something they do for "Dark" or "Shadow" pokemon,
but i doubt they'd make that big of an advancement.

LethalTexture May 13th, 2008 1:38 PM

I believe the black part is in fact the arrow pointing to which Pokemon is which. All Gen III games and afterward have this, as far as I can remember.

I am a little concerned and worried about the circle-shaped floor being underneath the defending Pokémon. It looks a little odd to me, or maybe the Levitating Pokemon don't have floors in this game.

BakingBluePotatoe May 13th, 2008 1:39 PM

meh, random Idea how Dawn MIGHT look?

I actually don't really care about the altered storyline in the new game, but what effect it would have on the metagame. There is the origin form of Giratina, and maybe a new ability for Regigigas as speculated, Levitate.

That alone puts Regigigas as the 3rd most attack, tied with Slaking, below Rampardos and Deoxys-A. 100 base speed outspeeds the RSE legends, and Gigas gets the Normal type, which means only a Fighting weakness and STABed Return.
I predict if the new Gigas form were to come out, it would be top-tier Uber as 110/110/110 ensures that Giratina/Lugia would not break a Sub with a bit of HP investment on Gigas' side, and EQ/Fire Punch ensures Meta doesn't get away, and Forry can't do much.

I'm more concerned about Regigigas than Giratina's new form, which there is currently not much information on. I think it will come out as something like Speed Deoxys (read: crappy, but still Uber =* )

I was just thinking the same thing. What made Regigigas 'mortal' was Slow Start. If they take that away, surely they would need to reduce the stats. I think a similar thing should happen as Deoxys. Levitate should mean a reduction in stats, mainly Atk and Spd, as those are the stats that Slow Start effects.

I would also like to know if there is going to be an item (like the Lustrous and Adamant orbs) for Giratina. If this Origin forme is... true to form, then and increase in Atk and Speed stats, with a boost according to the Orb, could mean we have another pokemon primed for Ubers. Just my thoughts.

As a side note, I am happy that I got my R4, because now I can play the Japanese version, and not have to wait nearly 12 months before it comes out in Australia...o.0

Sorry for the small post, but what is an R4?

Haha, look at you. You're offtopic right now. If you continue, Franky, you will receive yet another infraction.

Remember guys, make posts have at least three lines. If you have nothing significant to add, don't bother posting.

darkace May 13th, 2008 5:12 PM

I hope there is a cut scene with Giratina, Shaymin, Palkia, and Dialga. It would be cool for darkai to be a easy obtainable.

Giratina and reggigas i heard has a levitate ability, and Shaymin is a ice type.

Why would you think there would be a cutscene with those 4?
that just sounds highly implausible.
(third line)

CastformRED May 13th, 2008 6:44 PM

Well, looking at the screenshots and whatnot, I think that the new outfit will only be used in certain contexts. Because of its snow jacket-ish look, I think that the outfit will only be used on the snow routes and Mt. Coronet. This would explain why his hat is still red, and why he is wearing it in this particular shot.

Of course, I could always be wrong, but the same type of suit was given to Cooltrainers on the same route, in a brown color.

Next, the HP bar. It would probably be color coded according to the legendary. Giratina's would be *squints* black and gold, while (just a guess) Lake Trio = White + Color of their heads, Dialga + Palkia = White + Light Blue/Light Pink (or Light + Dark Pink/Blue), etc. Just speculation.

Also, I think that there will not be anymore info in this issue of CoroCoro on the game, due to the "Wait for the next issue for more details" thing on the side. If this has already been said, sorry :/

hothead May 13th, 2008 10:52 PM

I like your dawn out fir better than the original i wouuld so use it and with the guys one nice the blue but it should be all blue or all red but i like the silver bag and my friend said he read something on the net about volkener becoming the head of the new battle zone but that is a complete rumor he lies a lot but it could be true so i thought i should alret you people

Space Guard May 13th, 2008 11:16 PM

(I know the Giratina's less than perfect, I'll touch it up a little when I get back from school)

I've just tried to remake Dawn, too. I haven't given her new clothes because I'm not very good. Yours is better, but I thought I'd try. You can't really see it here, but I'd tried making the bag silver. Well, it's my first ever time trying this kind of stuff haha

I hope they have wifi contests, that'd be really cool

Aquilae May 14th, 2008 3:03 AM

I don't really care much about the outfits, everything went downhill from R/S/E, and the new blue outfits are an improvement on the old outfits (I suppose). The new origin form of Giratina looks like a winged Caterpillar thing.

Anyway, I doubt the origin form would have a big impact on Ubers, as it stands now Rayquaza is the premiere Uber dragon due to DD + STAB Outrage. Giratina doesn't have much in the way of typing/moves to rival Rayquaza.
What I would see is Giratina running a Specs set at best with Draco Meteor/Earth Power/Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere/Dragon Pulse/Thunder, or a CM set. But its Dragon and Ice weaks, as well as Pursuit weak kinda make the CM set discouraging, as well as no Special Stat booster item like Latias.

Well, I for one think it's quite nice.

Wifi contests would be excellent, I can't stand another game were my Azumarill owns that goldeen (or whatever XD;). >>; Honestly, the contests, competitive & design wise, in general needs a revamp in my opinion. I kinda wish they would make it more like the anime... There's just no hype to contests in the game at all. Such as "Yay contest, you win!" Boring... They've always been easy. O_o" (Though, that could just be me) Adding wifi to it would be a superb addition. It would be very nice to compete with friend's across the globe. ;D I hope they do mess around with contests, who knows *shrugs*

Anyway, on the Volkner situation as talked about earlier. I would agree, he could roam the land in search of trainer's with worthy play. However, you bring up an interesting idea, Oniko. It seems unheard of to even bring up, but a duel champion? We've never had two champions with the same region, in the third game they've switched sometimes but never together. Think about a double battle with Volkner and Cynthia... That would be something, but it's against the grain of 'Champion' so most likely won't happen. Anyway, seeing them switch off Champion slots throughout the game seems logical, Volkner reserving Cynthia's spot possibly until she is done with her travels. However, that has no affect on us, and we probably wouldn't face him in that case. Or (Yeah, another idea) We could face Volkner in the first Elite Four, and remember in the past how the Elite Four after you beat them the firsty time got much harder... Well, maybe we beat them with Volkner and then after that the Elite Four upgrades in levels and such and you go back to face Cynthia. I would like to see that too. Many many possibilities with the Volkner situation.

I think a good bet on his deal would be... He challenges the Elite Four, defeats the Elite Four, takes Cynthia's spot in reserve while she travels the land, and you face him first. When you come back to take on the Elite Four once more, Cynthia comes back with a revamp in level and such. I like that case...
