An advertisement in the newly-released May issue of CoroCoro in Japan has revealed that the third installment of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl will be announced in the magazine's June issue, which will go on sale May 15. The advertisement features a text list of each set of Pokémon RPGs with their respective revised versions written in handwriting as afterthoughts. A hand at the bottom of the page waits to write a new name after Diamond and Pearl with a note that the announcement will be made in the next issue.

Shaymin

Other advertisements for upcoming toys from the 11th movie, Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin, include several place marks for toys featuring two as-of-year unrevealed Pokémon, codenamed Pokémon A and Pokémon B.

A CoroCoro advertisement for the manga adaptation of the movie includes an unidentified creature or statue in the upper right of the page. It has a red torso, a small beak holding an upturned twig and appears to be wearing a cone-shaped hat. Some fans have speculated that this is one of the new Pokémon, but it was given no special acknowledgment in the advertisement. Others have guessed that the mystery Pokémon in the toy advertisements may be alternate forms for Shaymin and another pre-existing Pokémon (like Dialga or Regigigas) similar to Giratina's Origin Forme. Either way, nothing official has been announced regarding specifics of any new Pokémon.
