While not brand new (released years ago), it consistently receives updates, making it functionally new. This is the gold standard. Have you played 4997 New

When Pokémon Platinum first launched, Nintendo deployed aggressive anti-piracy (AP) measures. If you played a raw, unpatched ROM on a flashcart (like the R4 or M3 Simply), the game would freeze after the first gym badge or cause the EXP bar to malfunction. Early dumps (potentially labeled merely "4997") were broken.

A "new" version of the 4997 ROM emerged that included a pre-patched AP fix. This "new" release allowed players to complete the game without crashes. Collectors today often seek this specific patched version because it stabilizes the vanilla experience.

Years after the original release, the No-Intro team re-dumped Pokémon Platinum to verify checksums. A "new" 4997 could simply be a reference to the verified 1.1 revision of the ROM, which fixed a minor bug involving the Pokétch and the GTS (Global Trade Station) that existed in the launch day cartridges.
