Character BIOs
As per some requests, I have created character BIOs for two characters that are relatively recurring in Diamond & Pearl; Paul's brother Reggie, and Pokémon Hunter J. As usual these detail both the characters and their Pokémon and as they both appear in episodes that have yet to air outside of Japan, the BIOs are likely to contain spoilers.

Who's That Pokémon
Once again going into the 4th Generation Competitive Battling strategies, we are covering our seventy-second Pokémon, and concluding the three week celebration of the release of the 11th Pokémon Movie in Japan. The Pokémon being covered today is Giratina, specifically it's Another Forme. This form is the form you are likely to be more familiar with as its present in Diamond & Pearl as well as Platinum. It's alternate form is Platinum exclusive, said to be only in the Torn World, but there will be a way for the two forms to be interchangeable in Platinum. It is a Pokémon that is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours. It appears in an ancient cemetery. So here it is, the seventy-second featured Pokémon, Giratina Another Forme.

Ranger - Shadows of Almia: Shaymin Mission
Last week, the Shaymin Extra Mission came on WiFi, where it will remain up until the end of August. Like the more recent missions, this mission unfortunately does not allow the transfer of Shaymin to the Diamond & Pearl games, but it does give you its data within Ranger: Shadows of Almia so it's a good fun mission for completion. As such, I have updated the Extra Mission page with details and a walkthrough of it. As the US Box-Art contains the WiFi symbol, its safe toassume these missions will appear with the US release later this year, this one probably being released around Spring with the 11th Movie and Shaymin's US reveal.

Another of the commonly asked questions I get is in regards to the Speed Priority value. Some asking what it means, others asking how it affects the gameplay and order of battles. To that end, I have created a page detailing the aspects of the Speed Priority, the way it is manipulate, what attacks manipulate it and a full comprehensive list of them.

No News
As expected, the news well has dried again, as is usual right after the mid-month reveals. However, a few days ago a small trailer, shown at kiosks in theatres where the 11th movie showed in Japan, featuring Platinum was posted around the web. I don't normally cover stuff like that, but it does have some minor tidbits that we did not already know including; new gym looks, further animated sprites and seeing your character utilise a flashlight. Just minor stuff really. However, despite this no news, I have been working on some secret things that aren't quite yet ready for viewing. That said, tomorrow I will update with some new game mechanics details and any other news should it come out so be sure to check back.

Once again going into the 4th Generation Competitive Battling strategies, we are covering our seventy-first Pokémon, and continuing the three week celebration of the release of the 11th Pokémon Movie in Japan. The Pokémon being covered today is Shaymin. Specifically its Land Forme. Shaymin is a Pokémon that has two seperate forms. One is present in Diamond & Pearl and on Platinum, while the other is only in Platinum after you use a certain item of Land Forme Shaymin. These formes are interchangeable within Pokémon Platinum so you can fully utilise both of their movesets and stats. Shaymin is a grass type event Pokémon with a complete 100 Base Stat in each stat. It is said that it can dissolve toxins in the air easily. So here it is, the seventy-first featured Pokémon, Shaymin Land Forme.

As I predicted, higher resolution pictures of the pictures revealed by CoroCoro and the official site have since been released, this time thanks to another official site.

I have however, put up the pictures that are the clearest and those which didn't need a resolution increase from the official site. These include the battle screenshots. Click the picture to view

Shaymin's Glacidia Flower Restriction Rumour
Recently there was a Pokémon Sunday promo video which showed many of the new aspects of Platinum revealed in CoroCoro. Well, it seems that there was a small note in there that we may have missed. According to the promo and the official website, the Glacidia Flower, the item utilised to change Shaymin's form, is only usable by the Shaymin obtained by the movie. There are two ways to interpret this. Either A) They have restricted it in the same way as Regirock, Regice & Registeel are only obtainable if you have the Regigigas obtained by the movie or B) It's just simple enough that they only acknowledge the Shaymin as the movie giveaway and none of the Shaymin that were obtained through the infamous Elite Four glitch in the early releases of Diamond & Pearl. As this is completely open to interpretation, there is no way to be sure until release. However, on release of Pokémon Platinum in Japan, we will endeavor to get you the data as soon as possible. For more info on Shaymin's form changing, click the picture

Pokémon Platinum - Section Updates
Lately, I have been quite lax in the updating of the game sections whenever there is game news to the point that if you wish to check for news on say Platinum, you would have had to search our news archives for information. Obviously this is not a good thing to do and in response to that, I have begun creating pages for the Platinum section based upon the news obtained in CoroCoro last week. At the moment the pages are obviously preliminary, however they will be fully updated with more in-depth information as and when it becomes available.

Platinum Pictures & News
Like promised, the official site today updated with some better pictures than the CoroCoro ones. Although they arent at the full resolution glory (which may be out before too long none-the-less), they are still pretty indicative of the game. in addition to the ones we had, there's also some new ones which I have added to the Platinum Picture page including a new Torn World picture that contains water, pictures of the new characters in-game and more of the WiFi & GTS areas. I will add more if they start coming at higher resolutions via press outlets. However, until then, click the picture to go to the section
Edit Addition: It seems that according to the official site, the Glacidia Flower that changes Shaymin from Land Forme to Sky Forme and vice-versa is not usable during Night or when Shaymin is frozen. Whether this means that Shaymin Sky Forme can only be used at Day remains to be seen

12th Movie Title - Rumour
According to a blog of somebody who managed to see a pre-showing of the 11th movie, set for release in Japan this saturday, there is a trailer at the end of the movie which stated the title for the 12th movie. If true, this is the first time the title has been revealed a year before as normally its just a hint, a small scene and so forth. This movie looks to bring the 10th and 11th movie plotlines to an end and thus called Dialga VS Palkia VS Giratina. Again, if true, it will be likely that in March, when Arceus is revealed, the title will change to Dialga VS Palkia VS Giratina VS Arceus for some massive legendary fight. However, this is just speculation on my part. We'll bring you more on this, including possible confirmation, as and when it happens so watch this space. Just remember that this is rumour at the moment, but at the very least we will know by Saturday

Pokémon Platinum
The new issue of CoroCoro has been revealed and posted on various japanese imageboards. These issues contain many various bits of data, confirming what we expected and providing new tidbits as we go;
- Pokémon Platinum is set for a September 13th 2008 release in Japan
- You have to face Team Galactic once more, but it seems their plans and HQ have been stepped up a fair bit
- The Battle Frontier returns and takes place in the Fight Area in Sinnoh. There are different areas in the Battle Frontier, their battle quirks are not yet known. However, it does still contain the Battle Tower
- The WiFi area has been enhanced with various areas which support up to 20 people at any one time
- The Poffin making has taken a step up and has a new feature that involves a Swalot machine. You essentially throw berries into its mouth. This can be done over WiFi in the new WiFi area
- The Battle Recorder, an item seen on the Shaymin pictures last week, allows you to record battles that you hold and share them with your friends. This is done at the new & improved GTS in Jubilife City, which has a bigger global terminal
- There is also confirmation of the Shaymin form changes and a note about the Giratina ones. It appears that like in the movie, Giratina's Origin Forme can only be used in the Torn World, and its in its Another Forme elsewhere. It is unknown if there will be an item to use to keep it in its Origin Forme, but the main method will be revealed next month
- Shaymin Sky Forme's ability is Serene Grace. It appears to be more focused in Speed and Special Attack and knows the move Air Slash.
- Giratina's Origin Forme's ability is Levitate.
- The pictures also indicate and confirm new sprites for each Pokémon including Bidoof, Giratina's Another Forme & Shaymin's Land Forme
- Confirmation of the new characters shown last month, one is a member of Team Galactic, and the other is part of an international police force and is hunting Team Galactic

In The Game Mechanics Department
Stats - A Guide
While looking for things to do for the site, I noticed that I did not have a page on one of the most basic things in Pokémon; Stats. Stats are vital to Pokémon as they are what define the battles and are more important than the attacks and in some cases even the Pokémon. I also have had some questions lately about the stat modifiers, specifically how much stats are boosted when stats are raised or fall. To that end, I have created an in-depth page explaining Stats, what calculates them, how the modifiers work and a list of the stats and how they can be boosted or lowered.

Thanks to forum member Kakashi-Sharingan Warrior for pointing this out to me, the latest issue of the UK Official Nintendo Magazine contained a review of My Pokémon Ranch, and with it came the release of "Out Now"...now this could be an editorial error, or as the magazine is meant to be out this friday, it means that it may be out on European and Australian Wiis then. In the European Wii shop, the releases alternate between WiiWare and Virtual Console every week and this week would be for WiiWare. So if you're in Europe and are looking forward to Ranch, your wait may soon be over. For more details on Pokémon Ranch, click below:
