Just a brief update for today. It's finals season which means that many members of the staff, myself included, are swamped with projects and exams. However, I've still had a few minutes to put together another new video of some HeartGold gameplay. Another Rival battle! That Mareep I picked up not too long ago sure came in handy. If you haven't done...
This is just a quick update to let you all know that we are aware of the downtime and site issues that you've all been experiencing. The new server still has a few bugs that need to be ironed out. Hopefully the downtime itself is over. However, as of right now the site itself isn't fully functional. Many pieces of the Psydex are still offline, but we...
More Changes for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum[Expand]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 30 Sep 2009 at 10:19am PDT
Unfortunately, the surprise I mentioned last update has been delayed due to some unforeseen issues on my end. But, I do bring good news related to another previous update. Since there's currently a Shaymin Event running for everyone playing Pokemon Platinum, we've compiled a page to document WiFi Events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. This page...
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, and Mystery Dungeon News[Expand]

First up, a bit of news for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. If you missed out on your chance to receive a Shaymin at the last event, you're in luck. Starting on September 28th, through November 8th, there will be a WiFi giveaway. Full details can, as usual, be found on the official Pokemon Platinum site. I've summarized them for you here. 1. Make sure...
Alright, as some of you have already noticed, we now have a Frontier Guide for Platinum. Much thanks to Rhapsody for getting that all written up for us. Thanks much! I'll keep trying to work on various things as I have time, but on a personal note; finals have begun, so I'm gonna be a non-entity for a while. Many apologies for any slow updates for...

I promised that the next time I made an update there would be new content for you all. I'll make good on that promise shortly. First, a little disclaimer. The coming weeks mean the end of the semester for me, and I've got loads of papers and projects to do. Regretfully, my time to work on the site will be limited until about the 2nd week of May. I'll...
Welcome to April. I hope you all enjoyed our little prank yesterday. The concerned emails we received made it all the more enjoyable for us. Today, there's two updates to announce. First off, one of the most requested bug fixes has been taken care of. Over the last few days, several of you informed us that the Pokemon Comparer was broken. That should...

We've started incorporating all those changes that have been suggested for the Platinum Section. Of course, there's been quite a few things suggested, so we're just going down a list. Over the next few days, you'll be seeing several things getting updated. For today, the big announcement that I have for you is that Platinum Dex Entries have been uploaded...
For the past couple days I've been sitting back and just watching. Our new layout seems to be very well received. On behalf of everyone who worked on this layout, thank you. We're thrilled that the feedback has been so positive. Over the past few days various bugs have popped up. Hopefully they've all been ironed out. If there are any problems you...
So, Pokemon Platinum was released in the US today. We'll be adding more content to the Platinum Section in the coming days. Guides will be written, etc. The PsyDex has all the Platinum data already, so feel free to make use of that. The biggest change to the site, as you can see, is our new layout. This layout has been in the works for months, undergoing...
As you may recall, in Japan a special Regigigas was given out in order to gain access to the other three Regis in Platinum. The time for the US release has come. From March 8th to March 21st, the day before the release of Platinum, bring your DS and a copy of Pearl or Diamond to a participating Toys R Us store to receive the special Regigigas. Regigigas...
I've been fiddling around with the site again, changing some stuff on the backend. I've worked out a few more odd little bugs that seemed to have arisen due to the integration of all the Platinum data. I'm pretty sure I got them all this time, though the compromise is a bit silly. In the DP Walkthrough and World Map, you'll occasionally notice a Wild...
Something Old, Something New, Something Long Overdue[Expand]

So I've been busy going here and there over the site fixing up little things as I go. It seems a few updates I had made to the Platinum Section somehow got lost, so you'll now find that to be more up-to-date once again. I've also been going over some of the PicDex and taking care of some missing Platinum sprites. The PsyDex itself has also had a few...
I suppose I should make an official statement that we have, in fact, not died, huh? The site is alive and well, I assure you. I'd like to start by reminding you to check out not only the full Diamond and Pearl Section, but also the Platinum Section. Most of note, of course, is the Full Platinum Walkthrough, which has been quite popular since it was...
I know, I know, it's been a while since I posted an update. We're not dead, we're just busy. And with the Platinum Section up and running for a few weeks now, there hasn't been much to report on. That being said, we've been keeping ourselves busy. There have been several bug fixes around the site in the past couple weeks. In addition to that, I've...
We've updated the Psydex with the missing piece of the Platinum Jigsaw: the move tutors! Some other minor updates: - The TechDex includes the translation of the Japanese name of the attacks, which helps explain which certain moves behave the way they do. For example, Sucker Punch isn't actually a kind of punch and hence does not get boosted by Iron...
In addition to all the changes made to the Platinum Section that you'll see in the previous update, I have the following to inform you about from this previous week. First off, the TechDex has been updated to show all the new levels for Platinum. Hypnosis also shows its updated accuracy. The big news, however, is that our Platinum Walkthrough is written...
We're hard at work on the site... whatever could it be? Oh, look at that. All of the Platinum Level-Up Attacks have been added to the Psydex, along with Platinum Locations. This includes information for Origin Giratina, Sky Shaymin and all Rotom formes, which have the same set of level-up attacks. The Platinum Sinnoh Dex numbers are listed now too....
No, I didn't modify the update time; it actually is 2am my local time and I'm posting this. I'll start off by apologizing for disappearing for so long. I've been back on campus for a week now and classes and work are getting back into full swing. However, I'm pretty well settled in now and should be getting back to regular updates. Good thing too,...
Sorry I didn't get this posted within the other update, but I ran out of time. Quite frankly, I think this deserves to be on its own anyway. I've added a massive update to the Platinum Section with a good deal more info. More importantly, however, I've added 30 new images to the Screenshots Page. Tomorrow, between rounds of packing, I hope to be able...

Namely, that I've been working on the site a bit, as usual. The biggest thing to note is that I've updated the Platinum Section again as of the other day, including new Pictures and Screenshots. Most notably, there's a picture of five silhouettes that have some connection to Platinum, but won't be revealed until after the release: Also, I've added...
There's more content going up all over the site. First and foremost, with a new month underway, a new round of magazines are coming out in Japan. As more details get confirmed, they're getting added to the Platinum Section. There's also a few new screenshots that I'll have posted once there are high-quality versions available. In addition to the updates...
Sorry for the silence recently; I've been having trouble getting back into the swing of working a regular job again. That being said, I've made another update to our Platinum Screenshots page. I've added several new pictures and updated some older ones to much higher quality, courtesy of the official Japanese site. Furthermore, there's been a bit...
But before I get to those, here's what else I've been working on. Firstly, lingering errors with the moves learned in XD have been ironed out in the Psydex. They SHOULD all be taken care of now. In addition to those errors, there was an error with the Stadium 2 Gym Castle that has also been resolved. And, of course, I fixed up some various typos on...
In all likelihood, this will be the last Platinum update for a while. The magazines that all the recent wave of information came from have all been looked over. Next month, there will be another issue and doubtless more info. So, that being said, here's what I've got for you. I've reformatted and updated the Platinum Section main page. I've also added...
EDIT (16 Jun): New Screenshots added! And on the heels of last night's update, I got to working on so much more. First, as noted in an edit at the very end of yesterday's update, there are now more pictures on the Platinum page, including several screenshots and artwork for the new designs of both the male and female leads and the rival. Much thanks...
And now in response to my last update, I DO have some news on Platinum. As had been speculated for a while, Shaymin does have an alternate forme, the Sky Forme. The Japanese publication Famitsu Magazine published a nice little two-page spread about Platinum, including some only slightly obstructed Sugimori art of Sky Forme Shaymin. There are a few...

Yep, back to the song lyric updates for now, because I'm lazy and always listening to music. You've probably heard the song, even if you don't recognize it. First and foremost on a personal note, I'm back home. I'll write up a blog of my adventures eventually here. Picked a good time to come back; plenty to work on. But enough of that, you're here...
