Pokémon Platinum

Pokémon Platinum is the third version to the 4th generation.

Giratina - Altered
An alternate unused animation frame for Giratina in its Altered Form; however, different sprites are used for the first and second animation frames.

Giratina - Origin


An alternate unused animation frame for Giratina in its Origin Form. This frame was actually shown in a pre-release screenshot.

Shaymin
An alternate unused animation frame for Shaymin in its Land Form; however, different sprites are used for the first and second animation frames.

Early Rotom Icons
Early gray versions of the Rotom icons.

Shiny Arceus


For the sake of consistency, every Pokémon in every Pokémon game is given a Shiny variant. Arceus is no exception, having a Shiny palette for each of its 18 forms. However, because the only way to obtain it legitimately was through distributions, the Shiny version of Arceus was left unobtainable through normal means.

Lost debug mode
More than 500 text strings can be found talking about changing values for unknown debugging features. However, the debug menu code is probably lost. Some example strings of interest (there are many more): Boot on scripts Field BGM Tempo Test Script None Debug Scrpt Shaymin \and Marley 3 Lakes Underground debug communication traffic \v0134ぁ\x0000\x0000 bytes are being sent every time.

Old Battle Tower exterior


The old Battle Tower exterior map from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl exists within the game code, but it was never removed from the final game, after the addition of the Battle Park. It is notable that this version uses the older grass textures from Diamond and Pearl, and that the Battle Tower building has no shadow.

Testing Map 1
bJ8yOwmdCw4 This map is presumed to be a testing area for the Distortion World. It loads a black background, and a 2D indoor camera, as well as the Distortion World music and graphics by default, however, by fixing the header values, it is simply a grassy platform with trees on it. What makes this map interesting is that the map is copied and pasted 4 times - once on the bottom, one on the left and right sides, and one on the top, all facing towards the center. There are no events, or platform/camera changes on the map, and there are no events associated with the text. You must hack the game to access this map.

Arceus


The Hall of Origin event from Diamond and Pearl still exists in Platinum. Arceus also still has its ??? form from Diamond and Pearl. Since the only difference visually is a palette swap nothing needed to be updated for it to work with the new animations.
