What are the 5 new pokemon?

Question

I was on http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/mans...

and I notice that there were 5 new pokemon figures at the top right corner of the screen. Can someone tell me what those are?

Answer 1

There are three likely scenarios for these Pokémon.

1. If Pokémon like Shaymin need a specific item to change into another forme, then maybe the silhouetted Pokémon need another item to change formes as well. This is tied up with distribution dates in Japan, where one can obtain "tools" related to the silhouetted Pokémon after Platinum is released.

2. Since there's going to be a distribution of "tools" those Pokémon will likely be found in the Torn World (where you can also find Giratina's Origin Forme). Remember how you needed a Silph Scope to see Ghost Pokémon in FireRed & LeafGreen? You might also need an item to 'see' those Pokémon in the Torn World too.

3. The last scenario would be that these are 5th Generation Pokémon appearing in Platinum, but you can't capture them or take them anywhere. Its like Bonsly in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, where a Bonsly appears in the game, but you can't do anything with it since XD is a 3rd Generation Game and Bonsly is a 4th Generation Pokémon.

Until Platinum is released on September 13th in Japan, we won't know exactly what those Pokémon could be.
