Yesterday’s “Pokemon Presents” event, which celebrated the 25th anniversary of the franchise, included the announcement of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond <\/i><\/b>and Pokemon Shining Pearl<\/i><\/b>. These HD remakes of the original Nintendo DS titles,\u00a0Pokemon Diamond <\/i><\/a>and Pearl<\/a>, <\/i>released in 2006 in Japan and 2007 in the West, will debut for the Nintendo Switch later in 2021. Set in the Sinnoh region, inspired by the real-life island of Hokkaido, they will feature updated graphics and other quality-of-life improvements introduced in later titles.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement, Pokemon <\/i>fans immediately had one question: what about Platinum? <\/i>The fourth generation of Pokemon <\/i>games followed in its predecessors’ footsteps by releasing an updated version entitled Pokemon Platinum <\/i>in 2009. It added features including the Wi-Fi Plaza, which contained mini-games, the Vs. Recorder, which let players save information about past battles, and the Battle Frontier, which offered a wide variety of new challenges. It has yet to receive an official release, although a fan did take on the challenge in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/i>Fans were eager to learn whether Platinum <\/i>content will be added to the remakes of Diamond <\/i>and Pearl, <\/i>as the third game in Pokemon’s <\/i>fourth generation was not announced to be receiving a remake at this time. Eagle-eyed fans have pored through the reveal trailer and, in addition to providing shot-by-shot comparisons<\/a> between the remakes and the originals, discovered some evidence that at least a few Platinum <\/i>elements may appear.<\/p>\n

The first thing noticed was the appearance of Porygon-Z in the trailer. Like Shaymin and Giratina, Porygon-Z was a post-game exclusive Pokemon in Diamond <\/i>and Pearl <\/i>but appeared earlier in Platinum. <\/i><\/p>\n

However, a Twitter user named @voltimer_ pointed out what may be even more definitive proof. In Pokemon Platinum, <\/i>a female NPC was added to the outdoor area of Floaroma Town. She introduced the players to the Gracidea, a flower that could be used to transform Shaymin from Lande Forme into its new Sky Forme. If the player showed her a Shaymin, she would gift them a Gracidea flower.<\/p>\n

@voltimer_’s tweet shows that a character believed to be that NPC appears in the Brilliant Diamond <\/i>and Shining Pearl <\/i>trailer.<\/p>\n
