    Pokemon Platinum Version is heading to Europe to satisfy the thirst of Nintendo DS owners hungry for a whole new epic adventure. The game that has sold over 2.4 million copies to date in Japan since its launch last September, with more than 1 million of those copies being sold within the first three days of launch; is set to reach European shores on 22nd May 2009.

    A sweeping new adventure, set in the Sinnoh region of the Pokemon world, packed with new features - such as new ways to play online at the Wi-Fi Plaza over the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection and the ability to save your greatest victories in the Vs. Recorder - will electrify fans of the series. A brand new Distortion World, governed by neither time nor space, also emerges, which provides a whole new gameplay challenge.

    The epic story of Platinum revolves around the legendary Renegade Pokmon, Giratina, appearing in its new Forme, the Origin Forme. Many other Legendary Pokemon are featured and can be captured - from Dialga and Palkia, to the powerful Lake trio of Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. In addition, one of the rarest and most popular Pokemon, Shaymin, available only on Pokemon Diamond and Pearl through special events, appears in a new Forme in this version. Transfer Shaymin from your copy of Diamond or Pearl to your copy of Platinum to discover the never before seen Sky Forme, with a new appearance, new attributes and special powers.

    Your heroes appear in a new, special winter wardrobe in order to survive the freezing cold of wintry Sinnoh. As you follow the main quest to put a stop to the sinister Team Galactic, completing side missions and contests along the way, you will, of course, engage in some serious battles...And when it comes to battling, Pokemon Platinum Version certainly packs a punch! An all-new Battle Frontier, a special building packed with challenges and tournaments, is accessible after defeating the 'Elite Four' and the Pokémon League Champion, the game's final boss Trainers, and gaining a ferry ticket to the Fight Area. Not only are the final bosses harder to beat than ever before, but once you've overcome them and entered the Battle Frontier, you'll find the fighting has only just begun! The Battle Frontier contains five different Battle facilities, with each facility awarding Battle Points that can be traded for fantastic prizes.

    In addition, the Global Trade Station from Diamond and Pearl has been expanded and renamed the Global Terminal, where you can check out other people's battles. Battle Videos are listed by popularity, so you can easily locate great content. You can save Battle Frontier and Wi-Fi battles via the Vs. Recorder, so that you can connect with Pokemon fans around the world and interact in new ways. Re-live your victories - or use them to gloat and provoke your friends into online battle. Platinum is designed to make online play as simple and exciting as possible. In the basement of every Pokemon Center is a Wi-Fi Plaza where up to 20 players can connect wirelessly and play games together in real-time. As well as trading and doing battle with friends with whom you have exchanged Friend Codes, there are a number of mini-games available to play together in the Wi-Fi Club.

    There are hundreds of hours of immersive gameplay to be enjoyed in what is anticipated to be another Pokemon adventure. Get ready to see why Pokemon Platinum has been shattering sales records in Japan when it launches across Europe for Nintendo DS on 22nd May 2009.

    Wow, 2 months after US. Not perfect but it\'s at least better than Emerald. Smilie

    I may get this if I see it cheap. My copy of Diamond is protected because were I to lose all my pokemon data etc, I would literally go insane. Smilie

    I\'m hoping Nintendo give away Darkrai over NintendoWFC like they did in Japan. It\'s a much better way than having to travel to some stupid event miles away. Smilie

    They really need to allow Celebi to be caught also, I\'ve been waiting since Silver came out for one and as far as I\'m aware, Celebi has never been made available outside of Japan. Definately not in UK at least.

    Oh yeah! I hadn't realised that, it's actually bloody impressive! o.0; Localisation really has improves lately! ^^

    Celebi is one of my favourite Pokémon, but easily the hardest one of all to get, a bit of a pain. Smilie

    And buy the relatively awesome Pokémon Ranger 2, free Darkrai! Smilie

    Does it require you to have completed the game first? Smilie

    Collecting all Pokemanz is the main reason I love the games. I bought Pkmn Channel just to get a Jirachi. Smilie

    Terrible game for babys but was worth the £5 I paid. Smilie

    Not really (I have seen it though I swear!), but thanks to you I realised I put "a crazy" instead of "a craze" Smilie

    how to get a master ball? lmao giratina is as easy as dialga to catch, you just need to chip its health down then paralyze it, and keep flinging ultra balls at it until it gives in. my 8 year old did it, so just keep trying, dont give up!!!!!
