Pokémon Diamond Edition ( Japanese ポ ケ ッ ト モ ン ス タ ー ダ イ ヤ モ ン ド , Poketto Monsutā: Daiyamondo ) and Pokémon Pearl Edition ( ポ ケ ッ ト モ ン ス タ ー ー パ ー ル , the Poketto version of the special edition of the Poketto series form the special edition of the Poketto Monsutā: Pruu series) . They were developed by Game Freak and distributed and published by Nintendo . The Diamond Edition and the Pearl Edition were released in Japan in 2006 and a year later in North America, Europe and Australia.
The aim of the games is to catch all Pokémon, train them and end the machinations of the criminal organization Team Galaktik . There are some new features compared to the predecessors, for example playing over the Internet ( Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ). To get all Pokémon, it is necessary to swap Pokémon, as not all Pokémon are in both versions.
The Sinnoh saga of the Pokémon anime series is based on this plot of the games.
World and action
The Diamond Edition and the Pearl Edition are set in the Sinnoh region, a fictional island based on the Japanese island of Hokkaidō . Sinnoh has no connection to the regions of the previous Pokémon games and is criss-crossed by mountains covered in snow. In contrast to the regions of its predecessor, Sinnoh is the only region with snow-covered routes. There are also three great lakes (Lake of Truth / Strength / Boldness) in Sinnoh that form a triangle. There are many caves and tunnels in the underground of Sinnoh.
The games bring 107 new Pokémon with them and continue the concept of playing a Pokémon Trainer and catching and training Pokémon as that Pokémon and becoming a League Champion. In the Diamond Edition and the Pearl Edition, there are eight arenas run by arena leaders, in which you have to defeat the respective arena leader in order to earn a medal. These are necessary to participate in the Pokémon League.
The game begins in Zweiblattdorf. After watching a television report about the media's search for the red Gyarados in a distant lake (Lake of Wrath in Johto), the protagonist and his / her boyfriend go out to look for similar Pokémon at the local lake. You will find Professor Eibe, a Pokémon expert, and his assistant Lucius (the character you don't choose as a playable character). After a short conversation, Lucius / Lucia and the professor leave the lake, but forget their briefcase. When the protagonist and his friend are attacked by wild Staralilis, they open the suitcase and find three Pokéballs. You can now choose between the starter Pokémon Chelast, Panflam or Plinfa. After defeating the Staralilis, Lucia / Lucius returns to find the suitcase and bring it to the professor. The professor now explains to the protagonists and his rivals that they can keep the Pokémon because of the relationship they have established with each other, but at the same time asks them to complete the Pokédex for him.
During the course of the game, the protagonist repeatedly encounters Team Galaktik, a criminal organization like Team Rocket, Team Magma and Team Aqua in the other parts. This wants to destroy the universe with the help of Palkia or Dialga (depending on the edition) and create a new perfect one. For this they need the three Pokémon, Selfe, Vesprit and Tobutz, which guard the lakes of Sinnoh. After they have been kidnapped, the leader of Team Galaktik, Zyrus, creates the red chain and uses it to call Dialga / Palkia at the spear column. However, the protagonist defeats Cyrus before he can implement his plan, and then defeats / catches Palkia / Dialga and thus saves the universe from destruction. After the protagonist has received the eight medals from the eight arenas of Sinnoh, he can challenge the top 4. After that and after meeting every Pokémon (Manaphy not necessary) of the Sinnoh region, you can take the ferry and visit an island northeast of Sinnoh, where there are strong Pokémon and many trainers. There is a volcano there, the Kahlberg, which is about to erupt. This is due to Heatran, which you can catch or defeat. Then the volcano calms down again.
Gameplay
New Pokémon
One of the innovations of the fourth generation of Pokémon is the introduction of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the number of Pokémon to a total of 493. However, you cannot catch all 493 Pokémon, only the 107 new Pokémon and a few from the previous games.
Features
The “day and night system” of the “second generation of Pokémon” ( Golden Edition , Silver Edition , Crystal Edition ) is used again in the Diamond Edition and Pearl Edition games .
The trainer is equipped with a Pokétch, which contains many different functions (clock, notepad, map, item radar and much more)
Pokémon Global Trade Station
The GTS (Global Trade Station) is an online Wi-Fi exchange. Here you can search for Pokémon and offer Pokémon online for exchange. The GTS is in the games in Jubelstadt. The online service is no longer available since May 20, 2014.
music
Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection is the soundtrack to the games. The music comes from Gou Ichinose, Hitomi Sato and Junichi Masuda, who only composed the combat music.
reception
The diamond edition and the pearl edition received mostly good reviews; The magazine "Nintendo Power" described the games as "the ultimate Pokémon experience". The use of Wi-Fi and voice chat were particularly praised. However, the games have also been criticized for their outdated graphics.
According to the Japanese magazine Famitsu , the Diamond Edition and the Pearl Edition were sold 1,586,360 times in the first four days after the release. On December 27, 2006 it was announced that it would be the first two Nintendo DS games to have sold over 5 million times.
In Japan, the Diamond Edition and the Pearl Edition passed the 5 million mark in the 29th week of sales (April 9-15, 2009). In the US, there were over 533,000 pre-orders and a million games were sold in the first week of sales. At the end of April 2007, 1,045,000 units of the Diamond Edition and 712,000 units of the Pearl Edition had been sold in the USA .
