Basic Information

Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl are available for the Nintendo DS handheld video game system. Pocket Monsters Diamond is the name of the game in Japan. Pokemon Diamond / Pearl contains new Pokemon and well as old Pokemon.

In previous Pokemon games it was required that you catch all Pokemon in order to complete the the Shinou Dex, in Pokemon Diamond / Pokemon Pearl it is only required that you 'see' all of the Pokemon, reportedly 151 in total. In some cases, you may be shown the card of a Pokemon, this counts as actually seeing the Pokemon as well. You can also transfer Pokemon from Fire Red, Leaf Green, Sapphire and Emerald, and connect via Nintendo's WiFi feature.

Set in the beautiful region of Sinnoh - a land of myths and stories about the legendary Pokémon - players begin by assuming the role of a 'Pokémon Trainer' who sets off from the town of Twinleaf. Players will meet the Pokémon-mad Professor Rowan, who asks them to join him in his mission to document all the species of Pokémon that exist using a special tool - the Pokédex. Players must leave Twinleaf and travel all around Sinnoh to complete this mission, whilst trying to reach their ultimate goal of becoming the Pokémon League champion.

Nintendo Unveils Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Info + Screens News

Hinted and teased at for the last couple of years, Nintendo finally opens the floodgates on the latest Pokemon...

Nintendo has today unveiled the first screens and information from Pokemon's true debut on the Nintendo DS, in the shape of Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond.

Once again the game will find players uniting with a scientist at the start of the game, Dr. Nanakamando, who will provide the player's character with their very first Pokemon, before acquainting them with the latest Pokedex to collect and study the creatures of Shinou.

Both Pokemon Pearl and Diamond utilise the touch and dual screen capabilities of the DS, resulting in a more complex Pokedex for players to study, comparing the size and weight of themselves with captured Pokemon and adjusting the sound of their voices using various sliders.

The main character will also have a Poketchi to use throughout the adventure, an abbreviation of the Pokemon Watch, with multiple features such as presenting the evolution of the Pokemon according to their gender and the various elementary abilities that they can harness.

Using the DS internal clock to present an authentic day/night cycle with five different stages (Morning, Noon, Afternoon, Evening and Dust), Pokemon players will have to use the different times to catch different creatures in a similar fashion to Pokemon Gold and Silver.

Although neither Pokemon Pearl or Diamond introduces any new types of Pokemon, both games will focus on the differences between genders, with such examples as a female Wooper having a smaller antennae than its male equivalent.

With the suggestion of the traditionally mysterious basement areas in the Pokemon Centre, speculation has already begun that the game will mark the series entry into online with full support for the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service and connectivity to the recently confirmed Wii title, Pokemon Battle Revolution.

Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond are scheduled for a Japanese release in Autumn 2006, followed by a Europe at some stage in 2007; look out for more information soon...
