Go-Pokemon.com, the official English-language Pokémon Trading Card Game Web site, has begun to reveal cards from the next English-language set, Platinum. According to the site, 10 cards will be revealed before the actual pre-release begins the last weekend of January. Three cards have been revealed at the moment.

New Lucario card and the Shaymin cameo

So far, the cards revealed are Giratina (Platinum 10), Honchkrow G (Platinum 77), and Shaymin (Platinum 14). Giratina was revealed on Tuesday, with Honchkrow G following two days later. The Giratina card is significant because it is the first English card release of Giratina's Origin Forme. Honchkrow G is the first Pokémon SP to be revealed in English. Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic, owns the Honchkrow. Shaymin was later revealed, and was now confirmed after having a cameo appearance in a video.

Another card has been spotted on the POP website: a POP promo pre-release Lucario card originating from the Entry Pack DPt.

The Platinum expansion is expected to contain 133 cards, and it will be released on Feb. 11 in North America.
