Pokmon games have always required players to have a sense of timing and good strategy. So here's one move that's sure to produce awesome results. Beginning Feb. 15, Pokmon fans who reserve a copy of the upcoming Pokmon Platinum Version game for the Nintendo DS system will receive a Giratina Origin Forme figure, while supplies last.
The Giratina Origin Forme has never been seen before and appears for the first time in the Pokmon Platinum Version video game, which launches in the United States on March 22. The figure will be available nationwide through participating retailers, which might require a deposit to reserve the game. Most retailers will provide the figure when a reservation is made, though consumers are advised to check with their preferred retailer for details.
Pokmon Platinum Version is the latest epic Pokmon adventure. With new features, Pokmon formes and online options, it expands on the best elements from previous Pokmon titles to reach new levels of fun and adventure. Pokmon Platinum Version follows on the heels of the very popular Pokmon Diamond Version and Pokmon Pearl Version, which launched in the United States in April 2007. According to independent data from the NPD Group, more than 5.3 million copies of those two games have been sold in the United States alone.
"Pokmon fans know all about one-of-a-kind characters, and this figure is sure to get them fired up for Pokmon Platinum Version," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "More than 186 million Pokmon games have been sold around the world, making it one of consumers' favorite video game franchises. Pokmon Platinum Version builds on that strong tradition of great games."
The sculpted Giratina Origin Forme figure strikes a dramatic pose and stands about 2.75 inches tall. It is crafted by Kaiyodo, an internationally renowned figure-making company. In Pokmon Platinum Version, Giratina appears in its Origin Forme in the mysterious new Distortion World. Giratina is classified as a Renegade Pokmon of the Ghost/Dragon type. Giratina Origin Forme has the special Ability to Levitate, which makes Giratina immune to Ground-type attacks. Giratina will revert to its "Altered Forme" (seen in Pokmon Diamond Version and Pokmon Pearl Version, each sold separately) once a player encounters and catches it in Pokmon Platinum Version. Players may transform Giratina back into its Origin Forme by having it hold a special item found in the game.
