Trainer Sprites
The vast majority of trainer battle sprites remained the same in Platinum, carrying directly over from Diamond and Pearl. However, some got changes, and some new faces were added, such as the Maid, Frontier Brains, and the partner trainer battles. The partner trainer battle sprites use early and unused trainer sprites leftover in Diamond and Pearl because they were seemingly initially planned for those games before being fully implemented in Platinum. The trainer battle sprites can be found at pl_data/graphic/trgra in the repository.

Overworld Sprites
Overworld sprites can be found at pl_data/graphic/fieldobj/obj_nitro in the repository.
NPCs
Thorton
| Early Palette | Final Palette |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Includes an earlier design of him with different hair and outfit. Also included in his palette file are colors that give him blue hair, which seem to match up best with his early sprites.
Dahlia
| r6303 (January 17 2008) | r9249 (March 13 2008) (Final) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Includes some sprites of Mars and Candice. Early version has slightly different hair compared to final, and what seems to be a open chest area(by 1 pixel), which was changed to be closed.
Darach
Includes several sprites of him with an earlier design, featuring different hair and nothing in his right hand.
Argenta
| r6303 (January 17 2008) | r9249 (March 13 2008) (Final) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Between revisions, the colors on her shades were changed slightly. There's some early sprites of her at the bottom of both scratchpads that show her with slightly different hair.
Charon
| r6303 (January 17 2008) | r9249 (March 13 2008) (Final) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Contains several sprites of Bertha, suggesting he was built off of her. His palette file includes her palette, as well. Early version has slightly different detail on his lab coat.
Team Galactic Crowd
| r6303 (January 17 2008) | r8243 (February 24 2008) (Final) |
|---|---|
  |
 |
The crowd of grunts that gathers at Team Galactic HQ was once arranged slightly differently. Alongside the final versions came a new file called gset1old, which has a different pattern than either of the other two crowd sprites:
Looker
| r6303 (January 17 2008) | r9249 (March 13 2008) (Final) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Looker once had slightly different detail on the back of his jacket. Sprites of Palmer are also present.
Wifi NPCs
| r6303 (January 17 2008) | r14989 (May 27 2008) | r15246 (May 29 2008) (Final) |
|---|---|---|
  |
  |
 
|
NPCs used in Wifi-related things went through a few revisions. The female only received a palette update, but for some reason, the male one became a pink clown before changing back a couple days later. ...Strange.
Pokemon
Rotom
| Unused | Used |
|---|---|
 |
 |
An unused scratchpad of Rotom exists that was committed in the same revision as the used one (r8243). The unused one only has three frames, which are arranged vertically, while the used one has all frames with them arranged properly.
| r6303 (January 17 2008) | r8243 (February 24 2008) | r16771 (June 21 2008) (Final) |
|---|---|---|
     |
     |
    
|
Each of the interactable machines accessible with the Secret Key item originally were fully animated versions of each of Rotom's forms. It's unknown how these early sprites would've worked, given what they were replaced by.
Giratina
The scratchpad for Giratina's origin form, committed in r6303, has a few extra goodies laying around the used sprites, including a very early frame at the bottom right.
