Go-Pokemon.com shows off Platinum cards
|
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.
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.
