Pokémon Diamond & Pearl (Nintendo DS) - Description

In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh region's myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galactic is trying to rule the region by using the power of these two Pokon. During the adventure to complete the Pokex and become the Pokon League Champion, these two Pokon, and Team Galactic, will intertwine into the story and lead players on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.

More than 100 new Pokon make their debut in Pokon Diamond and Pokon Pearl. Many are new, and some are even evolutions and pre-evolutions of characters from past games. The player can choose to be a boy or girl trainer. There are eight new Gym Leaders, as well as a new Professor and a new rival. Team Galactic takes the role of the new villains this time around.

Players start out as an aspiring Pokon Trainer (either a boy or a girl) and aim to become the Pokon Champion. They choose from one of the three starter Pokon. As they journey through the Sinnoh region, they will catch and level up Pokon and battle with other Trainers and Gym Leaders to make their way to the top. The story unfolds as the player goes from town to town, across towering mountains, through muddy swamps and deep into caves beneath the earth.

Once the player has completed the Sinnoh Pokex and become the League Champion, he or she can use the dual-slot feature of the Nintendo DS to import Pokon from Pokon Ruby, Pokon Sapphire, Pokon FireRed, Pokon LeafGreen and Pokon Emerald. Once players enter an area called Pal Park, they can see and capture their Pokon from previous games, which are then permanently transferred to Pokon Diamond and Pokon Pearl. Up to six Pokon per day can be transferred to Pal Park and then captured in Pokon Diamond and Pokon Pearl.

Pokon Diamond and Pokon Pearl are fully Wi-Fi compatible, allowing players to trade and battle worldwide. Also, the games use local wireless to battle and trade with up to four players (eight in the underground game). Also, when using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, two players can chat using the DS microphone.

If players own Pokon Ranger, they can enter a special code (found on www.Manaphy.com) to unlock a mission to receive a special Manaphy Egg from Pokon Ranger and then hatch it in Pokon Diamond or Pokon Pearl.
