The 5 Shapes of Enigmatic Purpose

Epic name huh?

Well anyway, it appears that there are some new pokemon/ pokemon forms to be hinted somehow about Platinum, nobody knows as of yet what they are or where they came from, that's why they are enigmatic. Most popular possibilities are they are new forms, or even new Pokemon from the near future Gen V. Serebii even thinks it's alternate forms of a Gen V pokemon. But it's still unknown as to what they are. It says there will be hints in tha Platinum leaflets or somethin'. They are confirmed as they will appear in CoroCoro. So don't say they're fake. Here's some links...

pokemonplatinum.net also adds that they are ToysRUs leaflets. They also say one looks like a new Rotom form.

My two cents, well, as pokemonplatinum.net said, one looks like a new Rotom form, they all do kinda, which raises one possibility. As for me, they ain't new forms of already existant pokemon, that's bull cause they look too weird. New pokemon from Gen V, possibly, maybe a new group instead of a trio. Alternate forms of one new Gen V pokemon, also possible cause the trend of multiple forms is growin' in popularity lately, and Gen IV was just a taste of alternate formations. Or, this little theory of mine; ok, all tha shapes are near the entrance to Torn World on tha map, which raises my eyebrow to the possibility that they are wild pokemon from Torn World, which cannot be caught, like the ghosts in FR/LG's Pokemon Tower. But imo they are 5 new pokemon from Gen V, probably legendaries. Really, there are 5 shapes, and this is the 5th generation, get it. I'll post all tha possibilities...

1. 5 new pokemon from Gen V that are in a group (legendaries)
2. 5 different forms for a Gen V pokemon (legendary prolly)
3. New forms for already existin' pokemon
4. New forms of Rotom
5. Unobtainable wild pokemon of Torn World



Basic Summary

Summary: The five silhouettes are indeed Pok�mon that are possibly related to one another. Rare in-game items related to these silhouetted Pok�mon (and which are otherwise unobtainable via normal play) will be distributed between September 28 and November 4. The ad then points to preordering Platinum as the first step to obtaining these rare goodies.

pokemonplatinum.net full translation:

Red header (literal translation): ?The Pok�mon of these silhouettes are one body/group/company??
In other words, ?Are the Pok�mon represented by these silhouettes related in some way??

Yellow banner: Tools/items related to the Pok�mon represented by these silhouettes will be distributed between September 28 (Sun) and November 4 (Tue)
Blue oval: [These tools/items] cannot be seen/obtained during normal play!

Yellow text: First, let?s preorder Pok�mon Platinum!

Very interesting find Coach. The 5 forms kinda remind me of the Regis.

I was also looking through the other pics and I just love Buizel's new sprite. It freaking awesome!

I didn't find it first, I believe Shadows did, it's in tha update thread. I was just goin' on my daily Serebii check and came across it, then I checked tha other places.

Yeah, they kinda remind me of the Regis too.

Well, either way. It's still a great find. Good thing we only have to wait a month to find out what everything is since Japan gets it September 18th I believe. I kow they get it in Sept.

Sept. 13 actually. Naw, we'll get it when they do, there's always tha internet, no doubt whatever they are they'll be on Serebii before long.

They kinda remind me of somethin youd see in chibi robo. But just another reason to ditch (well maybe not ditch) Diamond and buy platinum when it's here.

Yeah, but the old ones always have something to offer that Platinum doesn't. I still find myself playing Silver, it's hard to play cuz no running shoes XP

But this is usually how it goes, you buy D/P and then buy Platinum. Beat Plat. then go play D/P, and so on and so forth.

g2g.

So true, I played Ruby more than I did Emerald. But I think if I can use someobdy's DS for long enough I'll trade all mah Diamond pokemon to Platinum.

Those silhouettes make me feel that they are mechanical... So sad that they've ran out idea for good-looking natural Pokemon...

^ agreed, I though one look like geodude with a horn

The blue one could be Drifblim.

Something about Rotom sounds pretty plausible though.

I think the Torn World idea is a good one, but maybe you can catch them, that'd be even cooler.

Also, I had an idea, maybe there new forms of Pokemon, maybe the weathering change or something Galactic have done mutated/transoformed them, making these strange 'Pokemon'?. Just throwing ideas out, now.

Oh yeah, I don't see why they would reveal the Gen V Legendaries in Gen IV, it just doesn't make sense. >.<

btw, just noticed the orange one looks kinda like wooper lol

I honestly do not like these. They all appear absolutely pathetic. If there new forms of Rotom, or one is, I don't mind. But if they're going to add something extremely stupid, like Game Freak does, and this is just going to ruin Gen V for me.

I swear, if these are some sort of event, whatever they may be, or if they are Japan-only. I will be so totally beyond p!ssed.

I won't be p!ssed, I'll just be a little ticked off that Japan get everything, because these look crap, anyway.

I still wanna know what they are and want them. If they suck, oh well, I'll just leave 'em somewhere to collect dust, like mah Shaymin. I hope they're cool though cause it's got me all excited.

Everything gets you excited, Coach. =P

But yeah, if there good, but we don't get them, then, yeah, I'll be a little annoyed, but ya' know, 'tis only a game.

Yeah I know but games are fun. But it's still a mystery. As for everythang gettin' me excited, no. I just want this game.

But it's still weird. I wonder what those really are.

Could it be Rotom Forms?
