EDIT: Nevermind.

THREE buttons? Better than the one we have in D/P.

I really hope that means we can scroll up and down through the apps, instead of this one-way crap we have now.

I also hope we have the option to go straight to the end of the list of our items. Scrolling through that takes forever.
 
Also, having a bottomless backpack is nice and all, but having PC item storage really would be fantastic for keeping things manageable. I mean, all those Arceus plates I have that I'm keeping for some undetermined date in the future when I might just get an Arceus to use?

Box those things. 16 items I don't have to scroll through anymore.
 
I agree, can't we have unlimited space in the backpack and PC Storage? The unlimited space in the pack is great for story mode, but past that it's really a pain.

Pokémon Platinum News Blog also mentions a rumor of an item called "Battle Recorder", but it's just a rumor at the moment because it's not in any of the scans. Personally I think it would be a nice touch if you could record any battle you had, and send it wirelessly/via wifi to a friend who has Platinum. Granted, the item probably doesn't exist, but it'd be a cool thing to have IMO.
 
Ditto on PC item storage. It really irks me when I have to spend 5 hours scrolling to the end of the items in my pack to get a repel.
 
I know it doesn't completely solve the problem, but if you have one item on your bag just for scrolling purpouses, it really helps. I use Arceus plates to go from the top to the bottom of my bag because when you're moving an item, it scrolls faster than simply holding the down button.
 
I'm with everyone else on PC Storage. What a hassle.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but did nayone catch the screenie on Serebii possibly revealing Sky Forme Shaymin's type? I -think- what I saw was Grass/Flying.

Ugh, pure Grass is better IMO. I'm sticking with regular Shaymin.
 
I think the most popular choice for Shaymin is going to be Land Form with the moves from Sky Form. And I may as well put my dream list here now for moves Sky Form Shaymin should get.
Air Slash, Aeroblast, Aura Sphere, Agility, Calm Mind, Hypnosis and Wish. Unlikely, I know, but it's a dream list.

Air Slash: 99% guarranted.
Aeroblast: Huh...
Aura Sphere, Wish: I hope they'll be taught by Move Tutors, so Shaymin could learn them too.
Hypnosis: We have Grasswhistle already, I don't see why would they give Hypnosis to Shaymin.
Calm Mind: A TM move that wasn't learned before by the pokémon in the same generation games? I don't think they have ever done it before.

Grasswhistle has terrible accuracy, where as Hypnosis has decent accuracy. It's not that hard to figure out.

Why couldn't it be a level-up move? Plenty of pokemon learn it through level-up.
 
About Calm Mind: Well, not a single pokémon that learns it via level-up doesn't learn via TM!

About Hypnosis: Check Serebii's Attackdex. There isn't a single Grass-type pokémon that learns both moves. There's Sleep Powder, though. If even Carnivine learns it, maybe Shaymin will get it too.

But anyway, it's their game and their rules, they might change it and teach anything they want (Calm Mind included) to Shaymin.
 
I don't see the logic in using past "rules" to dictate what may or may not happen since pretty much everything about Platinum so far goes against these past "rules".
 
What I do with items and give all the junk pokemon in my boxes junk items xD problem solved and I only carry 15 items with me =P

Your point?

tennis was talking about how GameFreak doesn't strive too hard to balance out the Pokemon world, so they might GREATLY improve Shaymin's movepool to the point that it's banned to Ubers since "it's a legendary anyway, lol."
