CoroCoro reveals more on upcoming Pokemon Platinum

Filed under: News, Screens

The latest issue of CoroCoro Comics has some more information to lay down on the foundation already built by the mag. Aside from knowing that the game exists, as well as its Japanese release date, there's just not much we have to go on. Until now, that is.

Some scans of the latest issue (via The Tanooki) have released online, giving us a clearer picture of what's going down in this latest title. For one, the title will star two completely new trainers, as well as re-clothe Lucas and Dawn. There will also be a new area of the map unlocked, which is being labeled as "Torn World" right now.

Also of note, a certain Pokémon movie monster available to folks in Japan will be transferable to Platinum, also allowing you to capture Regirock, Regice, and Registeel in-game. To check out the rest of the scans, head on over.

Rumor: Pokemans: Let Nintendo sell you them again

The latest issue of CoroCoro Comic has turned out to be a gold mine of Nintendo rumors, as a scan of the magazine has revealed another very believable rumor about a big Nintendo franchise. This time they're strongly implying that a new Pokémon game will come out this year, and that it'll probably be the third game in the Diamond and Pearl series.

Since, as the chart here indicates, every pair of Pokémon games are followed by one of these 'remakes' (except for FireRed and LeafGreen, which are themselves remakes), we find this rumor completely plausible. And Pokémon fans, who have been conditioned into a collecting mentality, will buy the game for a third time.

Limited-edition DSes spotted at Nintendo World Store

Flickr user anmghstnet photographed an excellent collection of special-edition DSes now on display at New York City's Nintendo World Store. We recognized most of them from imported bundles, like the Square-Enix handhelds and the SD Gundam G Generation Cross Drive DS, but there are a few we haven't seen since they were first announced, like the Momotaro Dentetsu and Pokemon Daisuki Club systems.

There are also some DSes we've never seen in the wild -- the Corocoro Dragon Comics-branded portable pictured above being a good example. The cheap-looking Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Kirby: Squeak Squad, and Wario: Master of Disguise systems? Those were special K-Zone editions given away by the magazine as prizes for past competitions. Hit the gallery below for more photos of the limited-edition handhelds.

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Return of the Friend Codes

Posted Jul 13th 2006 1:42PM by Jason Wishnov
Filed under: News

Japanese magazine Corocoro has several scans that reveal a plethora of information regarding the upcoming Pokemon incarnations Diamond and Pearl. While plenty of ~~trivial~~ ~~boring~~ ~~inconsequential~~ details were given about specific Pokemon and moves, the highlights are as follows:

The tentative Japanese release date for both games is September 28th, 2006.
The new legendary (read: boxart worthy) Pokemon are Diaruga (Diamond Version), who controls time, and Parukia (Pearl Version), who controls space.
The antagonists are known as Team Galaxy, who will be featured in Pokemon Ranger as well.
In battles, the bottom screen will be used for menus and the like. Easy viewing of other Pokemon's status?
WiFi features will be in full force, but they utilize...gulp...the dreaded Friend Code system.

That's right, folks, Friend Codes are back. Nintendo seems unwilling to let go of this rather archaic system, though it might be slightly more excused in the Pokemon universe...a grand list of fifty thousand players offering and looking for certain Pokemon types might make things a bit too easy. The ability to pick up a quick match with a stranger, however, would not be unwelcome...
