I would certainly like a new battle frontier. I don't care much about the new forms, I wasn't planing to use those pokemon. Also a random function with wi-fi would be nice. Like in PBR.

This one shows Shaymin's dark flowers.

This one has a lot of footage of Giratina's new form.
Oh, yeah, and since a lot of people don't have niconico accounts: http://otakujapan.seesaa.net/article/71453823.html
More useful with translation :P.
Personally, I don't think "dark flowers Shaymin" is a new form. I think it's just for the movie, much like the corrupted Celebi in the 4th movie, or sleeping Jirachi in the 6th.
But I still don't think it's going to be called Platinum. My money's still on Opal. Hopefully it won't be Amethyst, or I'll have to rename my game.
Edit: What's that about Korinku (Shinx) and new techniques?

Most probably it'll be Pokemon Opal. Some new move tutors would be good. Softboiled tutors which could be available to the 3 fairies would be sweet(after all, most pokeys in the fairy type egg groups can learn it). I'd like to see Uxie with soft-boiled.
Ele-punch tutors would also be good and much more convenient. T-punch Breloom, anyone?

My japanese is not all that awesome, but from what I gather, it says there's a special ticket for a reservation [?] that lets you get a Shinx egg with special abilities/techniques.
Examining it a bit further, it may be something completely different, like needing a Shinx with a certain egg move to get this ticket... or a ticket that lets Shinx "remember" something. I'm going to keep on deciphering it, this dictionary I have here is not very great lol.
People who dont think there will be a GS remake forget the most important thing. Money. There are going to milk it as much as they can
VOLT TACKLE LUXRAY NOW PLOX!
Seriously, I'll be pissed if they tell us "special moves Shinx" and one of them isn't Volt Tackle.
If Volkner gets replaced as the Sunyshore gym leader, I wonder if he could end up as a "co-Elite 4" with Flint "McDonald". I've always thought an Elite 4 double battle would be interesting. Although, there wouldn't be only 4 of them anymore.
I'm also hoping that some of this information isn't correct. Grass/Ice Shaymin doesn't really appeal to me. What is it with grass event legendaries having 7 weaknesses? The name Platinum just doesn't fit either. Topaz, Amethyst, Opal, Tourmaline...something non-metal please.

If it does come out... I'm hoping for random wifi battling with standard style rules you can pick and choose. Sleep clause enforced ingame? YES.
Also I'm sick of lurking in chat rooms searching for wifi battles, honestly, I think that's much more dangerous than just battling and having voice chat disabled for kids.

Am I the only one who can't see the dark flowers?
No you are not.
I thought it was because the game, technically, already have 500 pokés.
493 normal ones + Wormadam-G + Wormadam-S + Deoxys-A + Deoxys-D + Deoxys-S + East Shellos + East Gastrodon = 500.
Oh so I've heard.
By the way, I saw the dark flowers. Really strange...

We do. It's called Blissey. |D
Volt Tackle for Shinx? Nice to know Gamefreak's showing him some love (hopefully). Too bad Rotom got gypped. ;(
Crystal was used because there wasn't a third major pokemon to use, so they themed it after a "crystal" pokemon, Suicune. That third pokemon exists in the fourth generation, as it did in the third generation (which made its third game themed after that third pokemon).
Incidentally, the first generation only had one super-high-stat pokemon, while G/S/C had two, and R/S/E had three. Is it possible we will have Regigigas as fourth this generation?
The only thing I really hope they do is polish the game up. Lack of an item PC (and no easy way to organize/scroll through the current list), a few milliseconds more to select moves, no ability to turn off start-up animations, getting off the bike between guard stations, idiocy of the Great Marsh, etc. is what really drags D/P down a lot. Another minor thing is how badly pixelated the large sprites are when you get into a gym battle or in the E4; forgivable in the third gen, but inexcusable for this gen.
D/P may have the item and move superiority, but in my eyes Emerald is just so much more finely tuned. And I know Em is the "third" while D/P is the first two, but the first two after Em, and I expected them to build on that instead of "start over" with the rather rough D/P.
