With over 100 new Pokémon to discover in this epic new adventure,
players across Europe can now take on the challenge and search for
the new and mighty Legends to save the
 world! With 3D graphics and
making full use of the NintendoDS capabilities, including the Touch
Screen, Microphone and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Pokémon
Diamond and
Pokémon Pearl for the NintendoDS promise to be the most
involving, exciting and deep Pokémon adventures to date.
Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl are already being
enjoyed by millions of people. In America, independent sales data
gathered by the NPD Group showed combined sales exceeded 1.75
million copies in just 14 days of availability, and in Japan over
five million copies have been sold since launch in September 2006!
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.
This can only be achieved when eight Pokémon Gym Leaders have been
defeated. But players need to keep their wits about them, as on
their journey they will encounter the shady Pokémon thieves, Team
Galactic, and become embroiled in their wrong doings!
True to tradition, collecting and battling Pokémon play a key role
in these games and by making full use of the touch screen, the
battling system is even easier and quicker to use. What’s more
Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl can now be connected to
the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection allowing you to battle, trade, and
voice chat with friends from anywhere in the world!
The immense depth of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl
is revealed in several new features including the Pokémon Super
Contest and the Underground World. The Super Contests take place in
the Pokémon Contest Hall, where trainers can enter their Pokémon in
to a competition consisting of three trials: Visual (dressing up),
Dance (a rhythm game) and Acting (Pokémon perform battle moves to
the judges). Trainers can also enter the Pokémon Super Contest with
up to three other players using the NintendoDS’s unique wireless
functionality. Players can also explore underground tunnels beneath Sinnoh with up to seven other friends, digging up Pokémon fossils,
spheres, and other vital items.
Your Pokémon from the Game Boy Advance adventure series need not
miss out on your adventures in Sinnoh! By using the Double Slot
feature of the NintendoDS, you will be able to transfer Pokémon from
Pokémon Ruby, Pokémon Sapphire, Pokémon FireRed,
Pokémon LeafGreen and Pokémon Emerald version games
over to Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl, once certain
conditions have been met. Also players who have completed the
Manaphy Egg mission, in Pokémon Ranger, will be able to
transfer the Manaphy Egg to Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon
Pearl where it will hatch.
Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl launches across
Europe on 27th July 2007. |
