Go-Pokemon.com shows off Platinum cards
|
Update: as of Feb. 3, 2009, Go-Pokemon.com has only released eight cards. This is only 80% of the originally announced cards, but card scans have been coming in for the rest of the 133 cards.
Eight cards have been revealed so far: Giratina (Platinum 10), Honchkrow G (Platinum 77), Dialga G (Platinum 7), Gyarados G (Platinum 30), Giratina LV.X (Platinum 124) and three Shaymin: Shaymin (Platinum 14) (Land Forme), Shaymin (Platinum 15) (Sky Forme), and Shaymin LV.X (Platinum 126). 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 has been confirmed after having a cameo appearance in a promotional video. The Sky Forme was revealed one week after its Land Forme.
Another card has been spotted on the Pokémon Organized Play (POP) Web site: 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.
