This is the Diamond version of Pokmon. The main difference between this game and the Pearl version is how often and which types of Pokmon appear. Pokmon Diamond can communicate with the Pearl version using Wireless Communication. It can be linked to the Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen and Emerald versions using the Dual Slot function of the Nintendo DS. It is not possible to communicate with the Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, or Crystal versions.

YOUR ADVENTURE BEGINS

In this world live creatures called Pokmon. Humans and Pokmon have lived, worked, and played together in harmony for ages. Nevertheless, there are still numerous mysteries surrounding them. In order to find out more about these creatures, many scientistssuch as Professor Rowan of Sandgem Townhave dedicated their lives to Pokmon research. One day, in search of rare Pokmon, you and your friend take a hike around the lake close to your town. While looking around the lakeside, you see two strangers talking about Pokmon. After they leave, you realize that they left a briefcase behind. You and your friend talk about what to do with the briefcase.

In Pokmon Diamond, you can choose from either a boy or girl. No matter which one you choose, there is no difference in the story. However, it is recommended that you choose a character with the same gender as yours. Pokmon Diamond uses the clock feature of the DS system. Please do not change the DS system you are using or change the time setting of your DS system. This will affect your adventure such as how Berries grow in the game.

Battle Scene

Fighting Wild Pokmon
Pokmon live in places such as caves and grassy areas, so when you pass through such places, wild Pokmon may attack. When they do, you can use a Pok Ball (or another type of ball) to catch them.

Battle Style

Choose one of these Battle Styles to use when fighting Pokmon Trainers. You may switch Pokmon when your opponent's Pokmon has fainted. Shift You will continue to battle with your currently selected Pokmon after Set your opponent's Pokmon has fainted.

Various types of Pokmon (such as Electric, Grass, etc.) each have different advantages and disadvantages against other types. For example, Water-type Moves have the greatest effect on Fire-type Pokmon, while Ground-type Moves have no effect on Flying-type Pokmon. Use these qualities to your advantage to come up with an effective battle strategy.

When Status is Affected

When you get hit by an opponent's attack, your Pokmon's status might be affected. However, you can use your items to help your Pokmon recover. Alternately, you can take it to a Pokmon Center where it will recover completely. Poison Gradually decreases HP during the battle. If the Poison isn't cured, HP will continue to decrease even after the battle is finished.
When affected by Poison, the screen will shake and a sound will be heard.
Use Your Pokmon's Ability
The Ability that your Pokmon has affects it both during battles and in the field. There are various abilities and effects. When your Pokmon's status has a status problem, its Attack will increase, or the ratio of encountering wild Pokmon will rise, and so on. Use your Pokmon's Ability wisely to size up and battle against opponents.

About Double Battles

When a Double Battle starts, the Pokmon on the top left and the Pokmon on the top right of your Party Pokmon will appear (see page 11). In addition to Moves that attack one Pokmon, there are also Moves that attack two Pokmon at the same time! Try things like throwing two different types of Pokmon into a battle so that your Pokmon avoid getting hit in their weak spot. Also, beat an opponent's Pokmon one by one with converging attacks.

Confuse Faint

If the Pokmon uses a Move during battle, there is a chance it may attack itself. The Pokmon will recover when it goes back to its Pok Ball. When its HP reaches 0, the Pokmon can no longer battle.
There are some other status problems such as Paralyze, Sleep, Frozen, Burn and so on.

CATCHING POKMON

You can catch wild Pokmon with Pok Balls (see page 26). While in battle, touch "BAG" or select it by using the Control Pad and pressing the A Button, then select POK BALLS.

Here, you can buy items that can help you on your adventure. Pok Marts in different towns sometimes sell different things. Also, the amount of Badges you have will affect what you can buy.

Dance Competition

In a Dance Competition, one Pokmon becomes the main dancer and the remaining three are backup dancers. When your Pokmon is the backup dancer, try to duplicate the dance steps laid down by the main dancer. As the main dancer, your Pokmon can dance as it pleases. You can earn higher points if your Pokmon has a dance step that cant be imitated well.

Super Contest

There are five competition categories to choose from: Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, and Tough. Your Pokmon will compete through 3 types of Contest; Visual, Dance, and Acting. You can even compete against friends using Wireless Communication (see page 44). Giving your Pokmon a Poffin can improve their condition (see page 28). Talk to a receptionist and select a rank. At first you can only compete in Normal Rank Contests. Once a Pokmon defeats a rank, it can challenge the next rank. You'll find the entrance for Contest practice on the right side of the room.

Acting Competition
