::::Well, you never know. It may be a valid assumption, and it may end up true, but we can't risk putting something that's not a concrete fact here. Heck, I think the third could very well be Ivory, as that's an organic stubstance that's considered to be a precious thing, much like pearls are. As for the diamonds, they're grouped with rubies, sapphires, and emeralds as the precious gemstones. Plus, if it were Ivory, it would relate to {{p|Arseus}} in its color, and not to mention, that Dialga and Palkia are said to be two halves of it. Nintendo is, as always, trying to screw with us. From all of the GS references in FRLG and DP, many think there'll be a remake of the second gen. But as long as it's unknown, there's no place for it on an encyclopedia of Pokémon. The same goes for the timeline relation between RBYGSC and RSEDP. Many THEORIZE that the three-year gap came into play once again, but there's very little concrete facts until we get an official English translation. The only thing we know for sure is that Nintendo's doing a third version. They've done it the past three generations, first time they didn't was FRLG, because some might expect an OceanBlue, and others might expect ThunderYellow. Or at least, that's my theory. I see where yours comes from, and I do think that it could possibly be Opal. But then, we'd risk an edit war over the most trivial unannounced information: What the name of the third version of DP will be. And then... everyone will just throw in random things they thought of on a whim.

::::::Hey, I try. I'd probably do the same thing if this was back in Gen III before Emerald, even though I always figured that it was a for sure thing that it would be. Can't say that I didn't doubt that Nintendo would somehow come up with a way-out-there idea for the third version, though, that wouldn't have Rayquaza on it, like a Topaz, to go with Yellow like RS do with RB. That turned into FRLG, though, which was a pretty big upset either way.

ok since everyone keeps adding it
I have to ask
is the frosslass that candice used against platinum in Vs. Frosslass the same one that Platinum uses to search for looker and buck?
or is it a different one? was it said? if not then it cant be the same pokemon...it's highly unlikely she just gave platinum her sig pokemon ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 19:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC))

== Confusion ==
I don't know exactly these differences between CY translations and the other two, but it should be mentioned the difference since one of them call her Missy and her name was Platina, but when I read the article I've got confuse, because it doesn't mention her being called Platina, or isn't there a difference?

:They're already noted in the article. {{tt|Missy|CY}}/{{tt|Lady|Viz}} is what she was referred to early on. Those weren't her real names. Her real name in both CY and VIZ ''is'' Platinum. Platina is just a fan nickname.  As for the list, it's probably because Empoleon is her main Pokémon. --[[User:神奇超龍|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|對話]]'''」</small></sub> 13:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
