| {{nihongo|'''''Pokémon Diamond'''''|ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド|Poketto Monsutā Daiyamondo|Pocket Monsters Diamond}} and {{nihongo|'''''Pokémon Pearl'''''|ポケットモンスター パール|Poketto Monsutā Pāru|Pocket Monsters Pearl}} are a pair of ] ]s developed by ] and published by ] for the ] ] ]. | |||
| ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' add an extensive amount of new features, such as Internet play over the ],<ref name="voicechat">{{cite web|url=http://gamernode.com/previews/1481-pokmon-diamond-preview/index.html|title=GamerNode.com : Pokémon Diamond Preview|publisher=GamerNode|date=]}}</ref> while building on older game concepts such as ]s.<ref name="contests">{{cite web|url=http://au.ds.ign.com/articles/781/781799p1.html|publisher=IGN|title=The Countdown to Diamond and Pearl, Part 6|last=Thomas|first=Lucas|date=2007-04-18|accessdate=2007-04-19}}</ref> Set in the fictional region of ], the games cover the adventure of a single protagonist embarking on a quest to capture and train Pokémon while simultaneously thwarting the agenda of the criminal organization ]. | |||
| ==Setting and plot== | |||
| ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' are set in the region of Sinnoh, which is based upon the ] prefecture of Japan. Sinnoh is characterized by both mountainous and snow-covered areas, and contains new Pokémon central to the plot. | |||
| The game contains 107 new Pokémon and chronicles the adventures of a new Pokémon trainer who strives to become the ] Champion, collecting and training various species of Pokémon along the way.<ref name="Nintendic Article">{{cite web|url=http://www.nintendic.com/news/410|title=Pokémon Diamond/Pearl pre-orders top 500,000|publisher=Nintendic|date=]|accessdate=2007-04-25|last=Macarthy|first=Andrew}}</ref> As do most games in the series, ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' feature eight ]s led by Gym Leaders, professional trainers whose expertise lies in a particular ]. Gym Leaders serve as ] and reward skilled trainers with ], key to the advancement of the plot. | |||
| ] | |||
| ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' begin in ]. After viewing a television report about a media-conducted search for a ] ] spotted at a distant lake, the protagonist and his/her rival travel together to check the local lake for a Pokémon like it. They spot ], an expert in Pokémon evolution and his assistant, who is the playable character not selected: ] (girl) or Lucas (boy). After a short discussion the pair exits from the lake, leaving a briefcase behind. When they are attacked by wild ], the protagonist and his or her rival examine the case. The player is then given a choice between three Pokémon found in the briefcase, ], ] or ]. After defeating the Starly, Dawn or Lucas retrieve and return the briefcase to the professor. Noticing that a bond has been forged between the young protagonist and his/her chosen Pokémon, Rowan offers it to him/her, asking that he/she embark on a journey and fill his/her ]. | |||
| As the plot continues, the protagonist encounters the main antagonist, Team Galactic, although their motives are unclear. (However, as the player progresses through the game, it is made gradually more obvious that the leader, Cyrus, desires to end all life on the world so that he alone can form a more perfect, conflict-less place.) Team Galactic captures ], ] and ], of Sinnoh’s three lakes, and imprisons them, making it the player’s responsibility to free them. Upon releasing the trio, he/she is able to travel to the sacred shrine atop Mt. Coronet and enter the cave, where the leader of Team Galactic awakens either ], in ''Diamond'', or ] in ''Pearl''. Dialga or Palkia’s powers begin to overwhelm Sinnoh, causing the newly free Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit to attempt to stop it. It is then that the player is able to engage in a battle with (and has a chance to capture) the version-appropriate legendary Pokémon. | |||
| Having completed this, and after meeting requirements set by the ], the player is able to contend with them, fighting its members and then the Pokémon League Champion, Cynthia. | |||
| ===Pokémon=== | |||
| <!-- Image with unknown copyright status removed: ] have larger ]s than males.]] --> | |||
| :''See also: the ] and ]'' | |||
| As with all generations of Pokémon games to date, new species of Pokémon have been gradually introduced, bringing the total number of Pokémon to, as of ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', 493 species. The only differences between ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' are some of the Pokémon readily available to the player; for example, Murkrow only appears in ''Diamond'' while Misdreavus will only appear in ''Pearl''. Players can trade between different versions of the games to attain these species. | |||
| Early in production, it was intended that Pokémon introduced in previous generations of the series would receive new, pre-evolved forms; Pokémon available from as far back as ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'' can be bred to produce new species of Baby Pokémon, such as ] who is preceded by ], ] by ] and ] by ]. Pokémon have been given new, further evolved forms; for example, ] can now evolve into ] and ] can now evolve into ]. | |||
| As in '']'' and '']'', opposing Pokémon each have a short animation (e.g., a ] will flex its arms, ] will jump around) when entering battle. New ], such as “Rivalry” and “Unaware”, have been added. ] in ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', such as ]’s pre-evolution ], can be found in the wild, whereas in previous generations attaining one usually required breeding. Starting from these games, certain Pokémon have cosmetic differences between gender. For example, a female Pikachu (see ]) has a dent in its tail giving it a heart shaped appearance. | |||
| ==Gameplay== | |||
| The gameplay of ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' is very similar to that of previous Pokémon role-playing games (RPGs), with several changes and additions. | |||
| In previous generations, Pokémon attacks were deemed "physical" or "special" based on their type (for example, all ] moves were special and all ] moves were physical). Starting with ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', moves are now categorized into three groups based on how they are executed.<ref name="physicalspecial_execution">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/779/779839p1.html|title=The Countdown to Diamond and Pearl, Part 5|last=Thomas|first=Lucas|date=2007-04-11|accessdate=2007-04-11|publisher=IGN}}</ref> Examples of this include the move Fire Punch now being Physical, Gust being Special, and moves that do no damage are now in a new group called Status, or Other. | |||
| Pokémon Contests, events where one’s Pokémon compete in a show of sorts to win ribbons, return from ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' as “Super Contests”, with similarities and differences.<ref name="contests" /> Super Contests consist of three rounds. In the Visual Judgment round, players utilize the Nintendo DS’s stylus to place accessories and objects on their Pokémon to appeal to a particular trait, such as “Cool” or “Cute”, and earn points. In the Dance Judgment round, Pokémon compete with opponents in a test of rhythm and balance. The final round, Performance Judgment, is identical in premise to Pokémon Contests of the third generation of games; Pokémon use their techniques strategically to appeal to the judges and crowd. Assuming the same role as Pokéblocks in the third generation, baked goods called Poffins<ref name="pokedscomm">{{cite web|url=http://www.pokemon.com/#diamondandpearl|title=DS Wireless Communication|publisher=Pokémon.com|accessdate=2007-03-27}}</ref> can be made through use of the touchscreen and fed to Pokémon in order to increase certain traits and, consequently, the likelihood of success in a relevant Contest. | |||
| ] | |||
| First introduced in ], ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' features sensitivity to the time of day and day of the week, which is reflected in a number of facets, such as the lighting of the ] and locations of ]s, the availability of certain species of Pokémon (Murkrow and Misdreavus can only be found at night, while Drifloon is only available on Fridays), and even the lighting during battles. The scale of the day and night cycle has grown from the original cycle of morning, day, and night; ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'''s cycle features five different time periods: morning, day, evening, night, and late night.<ref name="time">{{cite web|url=http://www.pokemon.com/#diamondandpearl_4|title=Time will tell...|publisher=Pokémon.com|accessdate=2007-04-19}}</ref> | |||
| A new device called the ], resembling a wristwatch, can be obtained and plays host to a wide variety of features, including a time management system, a calculator, a map, a counter, a wireless link up search, and drawing pad.<ref name="pokétch">{{cite web|url=http://www.pokemon.com/#diamondandpearl|publisher=Pokémon.com|title=Introducing Pokétch!|accessdate=2007-03-27}}</ref> | |||
| Below Sinnoh is a large underground area, used for ] gaming.<ref name="underground">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/776/776634p1.html|title=The Countdown to Diamond and Pearl, Part 3|last=Thomas|first=Lucas|date=2007-03-29|accessdate=2007-04-05|publisher=IGN}}</ref> Players can create and decorate secret bases (first featured in ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'') and participate in ]s, one of which will allow the player to unearth ]ized Pokémon such as ] and ]. These Pokémon, as well as ], can only be obtained by exploring this underground area. | |||
| ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' employ support for the ], allowing players to trade, battle and communicate through ] online. The basement of all Pokémon Centers provides access to a list of a player's ] to engage in these activities.<ref name=voicechat /> The main system for trade is the Global Trade Station trading system. This allows players to search for any Pokémon they have seen on a worldwide scale, with the resulting list showing people around the world who are willing to trade that Pokémon, as well as the Pokémon they want in return for it.<ref name="GTS">{{cite web|url=http://pokemon.kids.yahoo.co.jp/dp/news/system/system006/system006.html?page=0|title=ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド・パール公式サイト|publisher=Yahoo! Kids Japan|date=]}}</ref> The trade does not have to be instant and an offer can be left for other players to browse and complete, even while the player is offline.<ref name="GTS2">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/736/736588p1.html|title=IGN: Pokemon (''sic'') Pearl Preview|publisher=]|date=]}}</ref> | |||
| Along with the fifty existing ] (TMs), which teach Pokémon a new ], forty-two new TMs have been added to the game while the previous fifty have been retained, bringing the total to ninety-two. This marks the first time an entire fifty-TM set has been left intact between generations, and the first time the total number has exceeded fifty (fifty-eight counting HMs). Two of the eight ] (HMs), which, like TMs, teach Pokémon a new move (but permanently), have also been changed. This gives the games a total of 100 machines to learn moves from. | |||
| ==Development== | |||
| Along with the announcements of '']'''s release and the release date of the Nintendo DS, the development of ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' was announced at a Nintendo Press conference in the fourth calendar quarter of ].<ref name="development_dash">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/554/554891p1.html|title=NDS Gets Pokemon Sequels|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2007-05-11|last=Gantayat|first=Anoop|date=2004-10-07}}</ref> ], one of Game Freak's music and game developers, took on the development of the games.<ref name="development_masuda">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/575/575988p1.html|title=Pokemon In 2005|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2007-05-11|last=Gantayat|first=Anoop|date=2004-12-29}}</ref> The games, slated for a release during ], were pushed into a release in ].<ref name="2005_delay">{{cite web|url=http://au.ds.ign.com/articles/632/632757p1.html|title=Pokemon Update|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2007-05-11|last=Gantayat|first=Anoop|date=2005-07-11}}</ref> It was not until mid 2006 where further information about the games would be given - compatibility with the ''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection'', connectivity with '']'', and features such as the ''Pokétch'' and the inclusion of the time sensitivity were revealed.<ref name="2006_wifi">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/711/711641p1.html|title=Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Details|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2007-05-11|last=Sullivan|first=Meghan|date=2006-06-07}}</ref><ref name="2006_pbrwiiconnectivity">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/711/711658p1.html|title=Connectivity Returns|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2007-05-11|last=Gantayat|first=Anoop|date=2006-06-07}}</ref><ref name="2006_poketch">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/712/712885p1.html|title=Pokemon Update|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2007-05-11|last=Gantayat|first=Anoop|date=2006-06-15}}</ref> | |||

| ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' boast compatibility with many other Pokémon games. They can connect with the ] after earning the National ], when the Pokémon Game Boy Advance cartridge is inserted into the ] ] and accessory slot of the Nintendo DS while ''Diamond'' or ''Pearl'' is in the DS slot. After uploading six Pokémon from the cartridge, the Pokémon are sent into the Pal Park located southeast of Sandgem Town.<ref name="pal_park">{{cite web|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/778/778464p1.html|title=The Countdown to Diamond and Pearl, Part 4|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2007-04-05|last=Thomas|first=Lucas|date=2007-04-04}}</ref> Pokémon uploads are restricted to six every twenty-four hours per GBA cartridge. The player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in Pal Park by means of a special Park Ball that has 100% chance of capture, before performing another transfer. Pokémon cannot be transferred from GBA cartridges to DS carts of different languages, Pokémon that know moves learned through HMs cannot be transferred, and the player cannot transfer any Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to ''Diamond'' or ''Pearl''. | |||
| Certain species of Pokémon traded internationally will have a Pokédex entry in the language of the game it originated from.<ref name="foreign_pokedex_entries">{{cite web|url=http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/game/g070413_01.html|title=世界とつながる！「ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド・パール」が北米で発売！ {{ja icon}}|publisher=The Pokémon Company|date=2007-04-13|accessdate=2007-04-22}}</ref> This is enabled through a new function which is added to the player’s Pokédex, allowing the player to switch between multiple languages in those same Pokémon's entries, including ], ], ], ], ] and ]. | |||
| In addition, ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' are able to connect to '']'', the only Pokémon games to do so. Using this feature, a player will be able to send a ] egg from ''Pokémon Ranger'' to ''Diamond'' or ''Pearl'' after completing a special mission in ''Ranger''.<ref name="Connectivity with Pokémon Ranger">{{cite web|url=http://www.manaphy.com|title=Manaphy|publisher=Pokémon USA|accessdate=2007-01-14}}</ref> ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' also feature wireless connectivity with the ] Pokémon title '']'', allowing players to upload Pokémon into the game wirelessly via the Nintendo DS.<ref name="connectivity">{{cite web|url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/711/711636p1.html|title=IGN: New Pokemon (''sic'') Announced|publisher=IGN|date=]}}</ref> | |||
| Lastly, the games vary in regards to which Pokémon are in them. Some species are found only on Diamond Version and vice versa, and thus trading between versions is necessary to obtain some Pokémon. | |||
