Pokemon Platinum announced

So a couple days ago, it was officially announced that the Pokemon series will be continuing with Pokemon Platinum. This will be the third Pokemon game to come out for the DS (I'm talking RPG versions). It will act as a compilation of Diamond and Pearl, like how Yellow is to Blue/Red, Crystal is to Gold/Silver and Emerald is to Ruby/Sapphire. It will be out in Japan sometime this fall.

So with that, it's quite obvious that there will be no new pokemon. There will however be a few new add ons and changes from the last two. The male trainer (only trainer shown so far) will be wearing some new clothes this time, though he kept his hat (picture below). Giratina (picture below) will be more in the story line this time and will now come in it's "origin form." Also, the underground will be wifi compatible, which I'm quite happy to hear.

I don't think I'll be getting this one, I'm still quite into Diamond and don't wish to start over. Anyone planning on getting it when it launches? Anyone with one of the current versions planning on getting it?

You can also check out Pokemon Platinum's official website, though it's in Japanese so I'm not sure how much you'll get from it.
