Except for the part where you forgot to explain how all of this is oh so terrible.

Also, I checked Serebii:

None of this is 100% confirmed


So don't get your panties in a bunch.

Honestly, who didn't see this coming? I held off buying a DS with Diamond or Pearl partly for this reason.

It'd be more believable if it weren't for the "Shaymin is ice" thing. Can they just change a pokemon's type like that on a whim? I mean, yeah they could, but in the middle of a generation?

Oh and nearly all the googles for "Pokemon Platinum" are about some vaporware G/S/C revamp game.

Try Seribii and then there is a scan of the ad.

Well, they changed Deoxys's stats on a whim…

Yes, but they've never changed types that shouldn't have been changed. But, of course, Magnemite LOOKS metal, but Shaymin looks grass.

That wasn't a type change though. The "form" gimmick doesn't really make much of an inconsistency within a generation. Changing a type does.

amph: I said within a generation. The Magnemite family's type change didn't create an inconsistency because it was from Gen 1 to Gen 2, two generations that weren't battle compatible.

Well, yes, but since they have never done it before, they probably never will. That is what I was getting to.

It said nowhere that Shaymin was going to become part Ice type. I can see where you might have misread though. In that case, what's stupid?

Ooh, correct. Oops. Heh, heh.

Yeah, the Another Forme had a possibility of being Ice-type.

Oh, and update. Shaymin is FLYING type. It looks AWESOME. Just like Giratina. So, Pokemon/Nintendo still rocks.
Go to Serebii.net.

I'm still going with the idea it might be fake. But there's a possibility…
