Pokémon Diamond expansion revealed

By Robert Purchese Published 15 May, 2008

Platinum pleasures.

Nintendo has unpacked a fresh expansion for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

It's got the imaginative name of Pokémon Platinum and, according to Kotaku's translation of the Japanese site, is due out this autumn. In Japan land, presumably.

There's no word on what it will do yet or if it can be used like a real pet, but we expect there will be more monsters to collect and train and show to your friends.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl is probably the one of the best games in the whole franchise.

Catch out Pokémon Diamond/Pearl review to find out why.

    Another one? I gave up on Pokemon Red when my sister deleted my file which had level 100 Mew and Mewtwo (who were the shit back in the day).

    i suppose it's going to be another minor upgrade like yellow or whatever. with just enough changes to make people like me (when i was 12) buy what's pretty much the same bloody game again.

    This isn't an expansion. It's another version of Pokemon within the same "generation" as Diamond and Pearl.

    It's like when they brought out Pokemon Yellow to compliment Blue and Red (although Yellow had some changes like you started with Pikachu and he followed you around and not in a Pokeball - it was based a little more on the cartoon series).
