* [[Fantina]] actually has ''two'' signature Pokémon, neither of which is particularly debatable:  {{TP|Fantina|Drifblim}} and {{p|Mismagius}}.  Mismagius can be considered her strongest and signature battling Pokémon, while her Drifblim tends to be one of her weaker Pokémon, and is in fact absent for her initial Platinum Gym Battle.  However, Drifblim is her star Pokémon for {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, and she wears a dress with a design based on it.  Due to this notable distinction, both are listed.

* Like Wattson in the previous generation, [[Candice]] had her {{p|Abomasnow}} overtaken by a new {{p|Froslass}} for Platinum.  The reason for this is unclear, but it was the first of numerous signatures that originated purely from [[Generation IV]] being replaced by new evolutions of Pokémon from previous games.

* In the same vein, [[Volkner]] and {{EF|Flint}} had their {{p|Luxray}} and {{TP|Flint|Infernape}} replaced by {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Magmortar}}, respectively.  These two Pokémon can be seen as counterparts, fitting the friendship between the two men and giving them matching teams for their [[Tag Battle]] in the [[Battle Zone]].  Additionally, this change is similar to Candice's, where Generation IV originals were replaced by new evolutions of Pokémon from previous games.

* [[Bertha]] and [[Lucian]], too, had their signatures changed for Platinum.  Bertha's changed from {{p|Hippowdon}} to a new {{p|Rhyperior}}, and Lucian's changed from {{p|Bronzong}} to {{p|Gallade}}.  This change is similar to Candice's, where Generation IV originals were replaced by new evolutions of Pokémon from previous games.  Unlike other trainers that fell under this change, these two trainers never appeared in a battle outside of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], making it difficult to judge whether this change would stick or not.  However, since it stayed for the others as far as the {{pkmn|World Tournament}}, it is safest to assume their Platinum signatures are permanent.
