01Overview

Pokémon Diamond Version and Pearl Version are role-playing games for the Nintendo DS. With the enhanced version Pokémon Platinum, the games make up the fourth generation of the Pokémon series. Like previous Pokémon games, Diamond and Pearl chronicle the adventures of a young Pokémon trainer as he or she trains and battles Pokémon while also thwarting the schemes of a criminal organization. The games add 107 new Pokémon and changes to battle mechanics and Pokémon Contests. The player explores the Sinnoh region and picks Turtwig, Chimchar or Piplup as a first Pokémon. The criminal group is Team Galactic, and Dialga is the Legendary Pokémon in Diamond. The Pokétch is a watch on the touch screen with small apps. Each move is now physical or special instead of taking its category from its type. The Underground lets players dig for items with other players. Online play over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection has since been discontinued. The games are independent of each other, so trading between Diamond and Pearl is needed to complete the Pokédex.
