This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Platinum.
Early Platinum prototype, also known by its build number of r1685.
 | This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. |
 | To do:
|
Copyright Screen

- For unknown reasons, the first copyright year in the Pokémon line is 2002. This would be left over as late as the May 15, 2008 build.
- The red shading used in the final version is not present, thus looking closer to the copyright screen in Diamond and Pearl.
- The opening sounds are the same as Diamond and Pearl.

- The early Japanese logo is less polished.
- The copyright text is in a much larger font with no gradient, and says "©2008 GAME FREAK inc." instead of "Developed by GAME FREAK."
- Giratina is in its Altered Forme, whereas in the final game, it is in Origin Forme. It's possible that Giratina's Origin Forme was not yet developed.
- Pressing start plays the same sound as Diamond and Pearl and not Giratina's cry.

- The background and music are the same as Diamond and Pearl. However, the text is completely different from both Diamond and Pearl and release Platinum.

- Area labels are visualized, just like in Emerald. However, the only visual implemented is the one used for water routes.
- There is no snow in Twinleaf Town yet, but the tree and short grass textures have been updated. The grass texture would end up being reverted in the final game.
- The beginning of the story is much more like that of the final version.
- The rival has a Level 7 Starly in the first battle he sends out before his usual starter. Losing this fight crashes the game, and since winning it with only a Level 5 starter is very unlikely, this is effectively as far as one can play the game without using debug features.
