VIZ Media has started a "second series" with this volume, publishing the Diamond & Pearl arc concurrently with older volumes from the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc, using this volume as #1 of the second series. Although it is unknown why they decided to release a second series (most likely to catch up with the series quicker), the reason behind why they are calling their issue of the Diamond & Pearl arc "Platinum" (unlike in Japan, where D/P and Platinum are two separate chapters entirely) is most likely due to the fact of another series Viz released, which they titled "Diamond and Pearl Adventure!", having too close of a name to "Pokemon Adventures Diamond & Pearl". (what they most likely would have called the series prior)
