-Go-Pokemon.com, the official English-language {{bp|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} Web site, has begun to reveal cards from the next English-language set, {{TCG|Platinum}}. According to the site, 10 cards will be revealed before the actual pre-release begins the last weekend of January.
+'''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.
-Seven cards have been revealed so far: {{bp|Giratina (Platinum 10)}}, {{bp|Honchkrow G (Platinum 77)}}, {{bp|Dialga G (Platinum 7)}}, {{bp|Gyarados G (Platinum 30)}}, {{bp|Giratina LV.X (Platinum 124)}} and two {{p|Shaymin}}: {{bp|Shaymin (Platinum 14)}} (Land Forme) and {{bp|Shaymin (Platinum 15)}} (Sky Forme). 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.

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.
