They can't all be new forms of Rotom. There's like, five of them. Some believe that they are new forms of Castform. I don't know, their sillhouettes don't look too attractive. We know that they aren't new Pokemon, they are new formes.

New News from Serebii

Over Wireless, there is new feature where you and your friends put in your eggs and it seems to toss them up. From this, it appears you get a random egg from it. You'll never know if you'll get a decent pokemon that evolves into a further decent pokemon with egg moves, or a Magikarp.

In the Battle Frontier, there is a stand that sells scratchcards for Battle Points. With these cards, you have the opportunity to get many items including berries. However, it's random so you could end up with little.
NOOOO, no WiFi Underground? That was one of the major things I was looking foward to. But the Egg Toss is a neat feature. And scratchcards are also a good introduction. I just wish I knew what other items I could get.

And I believe some of these are shown in ~Link Smash's~ video.

EDIT: I was just watching a video of a new Platinum commercial on the Nintendo Channel, and I saw Dialga fighting Origin forme Giratina in Torn World, unless it was traded, this could mean that you can obtain Dialga/Palkia before you fight Origin Forme Giratina. Unfortunately, Giratina was using Shadow Force, so the HP/Level were not displayed.

EDIT 2: I don't believe i've heard any elaboration based on what the new GTS actually does, but here it is.

This feature actually seems fairly poor in my opinion. People make multiple trades per day. So E-mail notifications regarding every trade would swarm everyone's inbox. But I never knew the Nintendo WFC was capable of such a thing. So it's also an interesting addition.

I believe he's referring to the 0:18 in the first video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sITAcrhT-AA . You can see the shadow of the clouds above the landscape.

EDIT: More news? Monferno is among the Pokemon now allowed into Amity Square. Amity Square has also been reworked or expanded with water in it.

hmm... its a little disappointing that the Underground wont be Wifi, but its a little thing, i wouldnt worry about it too much, cuz all the other stuff we have in Platina is amazing! i wouldnt lose any sleep over it, personally.
nice vids, ~link smash~ i like the cloud effects, another minor addition to Platina that makes it even better. thanks!
i also like that the amount of Pokes allowed in Amity Square was been expanded, i hate having to choose from 10 pokes to allow in, im happy about the expansion.

that, no offense to you, is a load of crap. there is no way that Game Freak would name a game after an unnamed element of the periodic table. the first one, Ununbium (element 112), if im correct, isnt the official name for the element. its still being clarified. even if that were the case, Game Freak always has their game names link to each other pretty clearly. therefore, the two games names would be something along the lines of Ununbium and Ununquadium, or something, not Ununbium and Cadmium.
to sum up, their prolly pulling our leg.... and excuse the science nerd in me. XD

To think all the new features just are in 1 game.
That's a little... weird?

Well, I might have missed it or forgotten it. But actually, I check the GTS whenever it is most convenient for me, like I would think most people would. But the Pokemon offered depends on how useful the E-mail function will be. A trade like a Bidoof for a LV. 100 Mewtwo could take days or weeks before the trade occurs. In this situation, the E-mail service would be useful. However, a trade like a Dialga for a Jirachi happens in a matter of moments.

I would agree that Mobile E-mail is typical in Japan. But that doesn’t mean that everytime their cell phone rings, WiFi will instantly be available to claim their Pokemon. They could be in a location where WiFi is unobtainable to them. Meaning they would have to claim when it is most convenient for them, which people do on a normal basis with the GTS anyway. My phone doesn’t give me the option to view my mail unlike the iPhone or Blackberry. So I could only use it when I’m on my computer, which is pointless since checking it on the GTS is faster than checking my E-mail to see if I've gotten a trade. Same goes for the Wii. So to not opt-in my E-mail is probably the best idea for me.

In my opinion, the new feature's utilization is situational based on location and accessibilty. Please don’t get me wrong by thinking it is dumb and useless, I just think that sending notification E-mails when a trade occurs sounds better than the actual usefulness of the function.

I know, it's still a bit vague whether its a random Pokemon or one of your friends. But I don't think there's enough information to tell exactly what it does

I really don't buy those names. I think it's just speculation names. Kind of like how pre-Platinum release, many believed it would be called Opal. The elements they use for the name are also incredibly random.

... don't redirect to Nintendo. So nothing is confirmed, and that site is lying.

Amity Square theory has been added.

Wow nice. The conveyor belts in the mine move and extend all the way in. The satilites infront of veilstone headquarters move and the ring around it moves as well! Also in your underground base you can get a fridge. If it wasnt already given in dp.There is also a new site the site that serebii mentioned. That third trailer also reveals palm trees infront of the new frontier a mini map on location of the frontier and some other stuff.

Pokémon Cadium and... what was that? They sound so stupid, aren't those like radioactive stuff btw?
I really hope Nintendo doesn't go with it, it's probably just speculation. It would throw endless amounts of dirt on top of the wonderful G/S/C generation and backwards.

Ununbium is a temporary name the for the element with the atomic mass of 112 and I believe the names are not real.

Big numbers come our way! Well i have news from pokemon platinum!
GET Point #1 says “Sinnoh Pokémon have increased by 59! Collect seals for 210 Sinnoh area Pokémon. Gather up all of them and complete the ‘dex!” Of course, these Pokémon are not necessarily new. They might be 59 additional Pokémon taken from the existing 493 species in the National Dex

Above pic for proof of a non fan based rumor.

Well, as Serebii said, I figure that these 59 Pokemon are the 4th Gen Pokemon not in the Sinnoh dex(ie. Heatran, Yanmega, etc) and their pre-evolved forms. Only thing is, I counted all of these and I come to a total of 58. I counted three times to make sure, heh. So now I'm wondering what that last one will be. ^^
