*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game. However, while no color is especially dominant in {{p|Giratina}}'s color scheme, it has gray elements that the "Platinum" may refer to, and the names ''Giratina'' and ''Platina'' share the same word ending. | * This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game.

** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum). However, other languages have had the same initial in their game names, with Spanish '''A'''zul and '''A'''marillo for Blue and Yellow and German '''S'''aphir and '''S'''maragd for Sapphire and Emerald. Coincidentally, all three of these are the respective second and third versions of their generation. | ** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum).

* A small cosmetic mistake was made during the development of Platinum. Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[Player] received a(n)/the [item]". However, when the player approaches the Poké Ball containing the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}, it displays "[Player] received a Griseous Orb!" ''before'' it disappears. This was corrected in the English version of the game. | * A small cosmetic mistake was made during the development of Platinum.

*All of the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex as well as a few other non-Sinnoh native Pokémon got new sprite designs, as is customary for third versions. However, the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprites are still used when the player dresses up the Pokémon either in [[Super Contest]]s or in the [[Jubilife TV]] station. Over half of the 493 Pokémon had either minor or major tweaks in their backsprites. | * All of the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex as well as a few other non-Sinnoh native Pokémon got new sprite designs, as is customary for third versions.
