* A new area known as the [[Torn World]] (Japanese: やぶれたせかい ''Torn World'') will be playable. A small screenshot depicts it with floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. Another screenshot depicts Lucas surfing downward along a waterfall. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme. It is unknown if other Pokémon will be wild in the area. A video has shown that the camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also shows moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them.

* When the game was first unveiled, it was thought that when captured in Pokémon Platinum, {{p|Giratina}} would be in its Origin Forme, and if traded to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, it would change into the "Another Forme," much like Deoxys did when transferred among the [[Generation III]] games. However, Giratina can appear in both Formes in Platinum. Giratina will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Torn World]], and in Another Forme while out of it. It is unknown if there is an item to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Torn World.
