    Platina
    Giratina

    Giratina because it has platinum plating on it!
     
    Oh wow, someone who actually has thought of this, too!

    Incidentally, I do call it Giratinum [or Gelatina, a brazilian food :B], because I'm still pissed at PUSA calling him Giratina.
     
    nope
    its just like pokemon Emerald

    The two pokemon that created....
    KYOGR =DIALGA
    GROUDON =PALKIA

    The trio
    REGISTEEL =MESPIRT
    REGIROCK =UXIE
    REGICE =AZELF

    The pokemon that stoped the....
    RAQUAZA =GIRATINIA
     
    We aren't talking about versions. A Giratina version was something almost certain to come.

    If you want to use a little more logic, let's see;
    Diaruga ~ Diamondo [Diamond in japanese]
    Parukia ~ Paaru [Pearl in japanese]

    Then tell me, why would they end Giratina's name with 'tina' if it wasn't a reference to 'Platina'?
     
    I did see that to so why would the USA rename it Pokemon Platinum? That's what we all ask i hope in Europe or Australia they come to they're senses and keep it Platina that's what they did with Another Code or as the US call it Trace memories to explain it in a different way:

    Japan: Another Code: Futatsu no Kioku
    Australia: Another Code: Two Memories
    Europe: Anotehr Code: Two Memories
    USA: Trace Memories which would refer to the same in Pokemon:

    Japan: Pocket Monsters Platina
    Australia: Pokemon Platina
    Europe: Pokemon Platina
    USA: Pokemon Platinum

    Most Americans wouldn't agree but I do. But hopefully because Nintendo hasn't released any proof of Pokemon Platinums true name I think it will be changed to Platina but I doubt it will be anything like I have stated above.

    Note: I'm not sure if Nintendo Has Or Hasn't
     
    Because Platina is the japanese word for Platinum.

    That'd be like calling the European version of Another Code: Two Memories by Another Code: Futatsu no Kioku.
     
    It's more likely that Europe and Australia will call it Pokemon Platinum. o.o'
     
    Lol your right I'm just trying to say any country other than japan should do an entire reprint and rename it Platina lol
     
    Wait, wasn't this known a while ago? Why is it suddenly being 'revealed' why Platinum is called Platinum?

    Spoiler:
     
    This was widely known informtaion, in fact I'm pretty sure it was posted early on in the Platinum discussion thread. And as a poster said, which I thought was fairly obvious, Platina is the Japanese word for Platinum. So that's why it's being called Platinum outside of Japan.
