Backgammon: template order for consistency

==Route 207==

While there is not much that can be done here until you obtain the [[Bicycle]], you can find a {{p|Machop}} here to help in the upcoming [[Gym]] match, especially if you started with {{p|Chimchar}}. You can also pick up a couple of [[Poké Ball]]s in the grass.

==Oreburgh Mine==

In order to battle the [[Gym Leader]], [[Roark]], you need to retrieve him from [[Oreburgh Mine]]. He can be found on the basement floor, and after he shows you {{m|Rock Smash}} he returns to the [[Gym]] and will wait there for you to challenge him. There are two workers for you to battle here and a few items to pick up. You can also find an {{p|Onix}}, which can be a good addition if you can later evolve it into {{p|Steelix}} through [[trade]], but is otherwise probably not worth the effort.

It's now time for your first [[Gym]] battle. [[Oreburgh Gym]] is pretty straightforward and has no puzzles, though it is possible to take the raised path and avoid the two Trainers present. However, the Trainers are pretty easy, and it's always good to gain some extra [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] and [[experience]].

Roark leads with a level 12 {{p|Geodude}} which is easily knocked out by any move that is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against {{t|Rock}} type (e.g. {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, or {{t|Fighting}}; you should definitely have one). If you don't bring it down, it can use {{m|Stealth Rock}}, which harms Pokémon you [[Recall|switch into]] battle. His level 12 {{p|Onix}} does have a high {{DL|Stats|Defense}} stat, so it may take two or three hits unless you are using a Water or Grass-type move, or a {{DL|Damage modification|Type effectiveness|non-resisted}} [[special move|Special-based attack]]. Onix has the same moves as Geodude plus {{m|Screech}}, which makes your {{DL|Stats|Defense}} plummet. Level 14 {{p|Cranidos}} can be a huge problem if you don't outspeed and knock it out very soon. It has a extremely high {{DL|Stats|Attack}}, plus {{m|Headbutt}} for massive damage and {{m|Leer}} to drop your {{DL|Stats|Defense}}, making its attacks more damaging. {{m|Pursuit}} is a solid move that can hurt a lot if you [[Recall|switch out]] Pokémon. However, Cranidos is very fragile, so one or two super-effective hits will bring it down before it can completely destroy your team. Moves like {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Bubble}}, and {{m|Metal Claw}} work well.

After the battle, Roark gives you the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}} and {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}. You can now use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle, and [[Poké Marts]] will start carrying more items, such as {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s, {{DL|Repel|Repel}}s, and [[Escape Rope]]s. Now head back to [[Oreburgh Gate]], where you meet {{ga|Barry}}. He tells you to go back to [[Jubilife City]] and go north to [[Eterna City]].

==Oreburgh Gate (Basement)==
[[Image:Oreburgh Gate basement.png|right|thumb|Oreburgh Gate Basement]]
Now that you have the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}}, you can destroy the rocks to reach [[Oreburgh Gate]]'s basement. This is the first place in the game to find a {{p|Psyduck}}, as well as {{TM|70|Flash}}. This former [[HM]] can be used later in the game to light up dark caves, and extra copies can be bought in the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

===Later...===
Come back after receiving the [[Bicycle]] to hop over the dirt mounds to receive {{TM|31|Brick Break}}. Then after beating the [[Hearthome Gym]] and [[Canalave Gym]], you can use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} to find the {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate}} and {{TM|01|Focus Punch}}.

After the battle, the Grunts run off. Professor Rowan explains that they are part of [[Team Galactic]], a [[Villainous teams|villainous group]] that seeks power from Pokémon [[evolution]] for some nefarious purpose. Rowan explains that Pokémon release some type of energy when they evolve, but he believes it is a "mystic power" beyond human control. After he and Lucas/Dawn leave, a man from [[Jubilife TV]] gives you a [[Fashion Case]], which can hold [[Accessory|accessories]] and [[backdrop]]s, and tells you that the TV station is now open to visitors. If you so desire, you may now [[Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 2#Jubilife TV|explore the TV station]] and get a [[Accessory|mask]] of your [[starter Pokémon]] from the man on the second floor. Head north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}.

==Route 204==
[[Image:Route 204.png|thumb|left|Route 204]]
=== South Route 204 ===
You were able to access the southern part of {{rt|204|Sinnoh}} before going to [[Oreburgh City]], but if you haven't already, pick up the [[Paralyze Heal]] and battle the trainers here, whom you should find quite weak. Now that you can use {{m|Rock Smash}}, you can get through the [[Ravaged Path]], which connects the southern and northern parts of the route.

There's not much you can do here, except pick up the [[Antidote]] and use {{m|Rock Smash}} to find {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} to the west. Without {{m|Surf}}, you can't going any deeper into the cave, so exit the cave to the east and continue north.

The wild Pokémon available here are the same as in the south, though their levels are higher. Battle more trainers (picking up an [[Awakening]] and [[TM09]] along the way) and then go north to [[Floaroma Town]].

==Route 207==

While there is not much that can be done here until you obtain the [[Bicycle]], you can find a {{p|Machop}} here to help in the upcoming [[Gym]] match, especially if you started with {{p|Chimchar}}. You can also pick up a couple of [[Poké Ball]]s in the grass.

[[File:Oreburgh Mine Basement.png|thumb|200px|right|Oreburgh Mine Basement]]

In order to battle the [[Gym Leader]], [[Roark]], you need to retrieve him from [[Oreburgh Mine]]. He can be found on the basement floor, and after he shows you {{m|Rock Smash}} he returns to the [[Gym]] and will wait there for you to challenge him. There are two workers for you to battle here and a few items to pick up. You can also find an {{p|Onix}}, which can be a good addition if you can later evolve it into {{p|Steelix}} through [[trade]], but is otherwise probably not worth the effort.

It's now time for your first [[Gym]] battle. [[Oreburgh Gym]] is pretty straightforward and has no puzzles, though it is possible to take the raised path and avoid the two Trainers present. However, the Trainers are pretty easy, and it's always good to gain some extra [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] and [[experience]].

Roark leads with a level 12 {{p|Geodude}} which is easily knocked out by any move that is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against {{t|Rock}} type (e.g. {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, or {{t|Fighting}}; you should definitely have one). If you don't bring it down, it can use {{m|Stealth Rock}}, which harms Pokémon you [[Recall|switch into]] battle. His level 12 {{p|Onix}} does have a high {{DL|Stats|Defense}} stat, so it may take two or three hits unless you are using a Water or Grass-type move, or a {{DL|Damage modification|Type effectiveness|non-resisted}} [[special move|Special-based attack]]. Onix has the same moves as Geodude plus {{m|Screech}}, which makes your {{DL|Stats|Defense}} plummet. Level 14 {{p|Cranidos}} can be a huge problem if you don't outspeed and knock it out very soon. It has a extremely high {{DL|Stats|Attack}}, plus {{m|Headbutt}} for massive damage and {{m|Leer}} to drop your {{DL|Stats|Defense}}, making its attacks more damaging. {{m|Pursuit}} is a solid move that can hurt a lot if you [[Recall|switch out]] Pokémon. However, Cranidos is very fragile, so one or two super-effective hits will bring it down before it can completely destroy your team. Moves like {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Bubble}}, and {{m|Metal Claw}} work well.

After the battle, Roark gives you the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}} and {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}. You can now use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle, and [[Poké Marts]] will start carrying more items, such as {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s, {{DL|Repel|Repel}}s, and [[Escape Rope]]s. Now head back to [[Oreburgh Gate]], where you meet {{ga|Barry}}. He tells you to go back to [[Jubilife City]] and go north to [[Eterna City]].

==Oreburgh Gate (Basement)==
[[Image:Oreburgh Gate basement.png|right|thumb|Oreburgh Gate Basement]]
Now that you have the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}}, you can destroy the rocks to reach [[Oreburgh Gate]]'s basement. This is the first place in the game to find a {{p|Psyduck}}, as well as {{TM|70|Flash}}. This former [[HM]] can be used later in the game to light up dark caves, and extra copies can be bought in the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

===Later...===
Come back after receiving the [[Bicycle]] to hop over the dirt mounds to receive {{TM|31|Brick Break}}. Then after beating the [[Hearthome Gym]] and [[Canalave Gym]], you can use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} to find the {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate}} and {{TM|01|Focus Punch}}.

After the battle, the Grunts run off. Professor Rowan explains that they are part of [[Team Galactic]], a [[Villainous teams|villainous group]] that seeks power from Pokémon [[evolution]] for some nefarious purpose. Rowan explains that Pokémon release some type of energy when they evolve, but he believes it is a "mystic power" beyond human control. After he and Lucas/Dawn leave, a man from [[Jubilife TV]] gives you a [[Fashion Case]], which can hold [[Accessory|accessories]] and [[backdrop]]s, and tells you that the TV station is now open to visitors. If you so desire, you may now [[Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 2#Jubilife TV|explore the TV station]] and get a [[Accessory|mask]] of your [[starter Pokémon]] from the man on the second floor. Head north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}.

==Route 204==
[[Image:Route 204.png|thumb|left|Route 204]]
=== South Route 204 ===
You were able to access the southern part of {{rt|204|Sinnoh}} before going to [[Oreburgh City]], but if you haven't already, pick up the [[Paralyze Heal]] and battle the trainers here, whom you should find quite weak. Now that you can use {{m|Rock Smash}}, you can get through the [[Ravaged Path]], which connects the southern and northern parts of the route.

There's not much you can do here, except pick up the [[Antidote]] and use {{m|Rock Smash}} to find {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} to the west. Without {{m|Surf}}, you can't going any deeper into the cave, so exit the cave to the east and continue north.

Backgammon: clarity, grammar, links, more

==Route 202==
[[Image:Route 202.png|thumb|Route 202]]
When you first reach {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}, [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will give a demonstration on how to catch Pokémon by catching a wild {{p|Bidoof}}. The assistant then gives you five [[Poké Ball]]s. The Pokémon that Lucas/Dawn has is the [[starter Pokémon]] that neither you nor {{ga|Barry}} choose earlier. Before departing, Lucas/Dawn will mention that it is easier to capture a [[wild Pokémon]] if you lower the Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|Hit Points}} more, and even easier if you inflict a [[status ailment]]. Now that you can capture Pokémon, you can also [[trade]] between games through the [[Union Room]].

|}

Now that you can now use Poké Balls, it is recommended that you start catching a few Pokémon, such as {{p|Starly}} or {{p|Shinx}}. You will be facing {{ga|Barry}} soon and his starter Pokémon will be at the point where it will have a move of its own type in its arsenal, so your stater may need the extra backup.

Then you are off, having some of your first battles in the game. This is the first route where you can {{pkmn|battle}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. There are three Trainers here, none of which have a Pokémon stronger than [[level]] 5.

Catching {{p|Bidoof}} and [[Evolution|evolving]] it into a {{p|Bibarel}} (a {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Water}}-type Pokémon) is probably the best [[HM slave]] in the game. {{p|Shinx}} is a good pickup as a solid choice that evolves into {{p|Luxio}} and then {{p|Luxray}}. Shinx helps against {{t|Water}} and especially {{t|Flying}} types if you picked {{p|Turtwig}} or {{p|Chimchar}}, and helps {{p|Piplup}} out as well, but Shinx's evolutionary line focuses on {{DL|Stats|Attack}} instead of {{DL|Stats|Special Attack}}, so moves like {{m|Discharge}} that it learns quite late will not deal much damage. Shinx and its evolutions can learn some [[Physical move|Physical]]-based {{t|Electric}}-type moves such as {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Thunder Fang}}, and two {{t|Dark}}-type moves, {{m|Bite}} and {{m|Crunch}}. {{p|Kricketot}} is hard to use even when it evolves into {{p|Kricketune}}. {{p|Starly}} is one of the best {{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon in the game, especially when it evolves into {{p|Staravia}} and then {{p|Staraptor}}, getting {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}, plus being able to learn {{m|Fly}} and having very high {{DL|Stats|Attack}}.

==Jubilife City==
[[Image:Jubilife City Cadellin.png|thumb|280px|right|Jubilife City]]
[[Image:Digiwatch.png|thumb|right|The Digital Watch app.]]

Continue on to [[Jubilife City]], where {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} is waiting to tell you that your rival {{ga|Barry}} is at the [[Trainers' School]]. Until you complete your missions here you cannot go east to {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}. However, you can go north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}} to face more wild Pokémon and catch a {{p|Budew}}, which can help a little with your first [[gym]] match, especially if you chose {{p|Chimchar}}.

===Trainer School===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Trainers' School}}
{{sign|DPcity|The First Step for Trainers!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The building southwest of the [[Pokémon Center]] is the [[Trainers' School]]. Here, you meet Barry and give him the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Parcel}}, which contains two [[Town Map]]s. Barry gives you one of them then leaves for [[Oreburgh City]]. There are two [[Pokémon Trainer]]s that can be fought here, in the northeast corner of the school. After you beat them, you will receive a [[TM10]] ({{m|Hidden Power}}).

===Pokétch Company===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|The Pokétch Company}}
{{sign|DPcity|Pokémon Watches for the World!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}
The {{DL|Pokétch|Pokétch Company}} makes a new appliance called the Pokémon Watch, or [[Pokétch]] for short. After you receive the [[Town Map]], the owner of the company, who is in the center of town, will approach you. He tells you to bring him three [[List of key items in Generation IV#Coupons 1, 2, and 3|Coupons]] from the {{tc|clown}}s around the city, and he will give you a Pokétch. The clowns ask simple questions about Pokémon (and the answer is always "Yes"). When you get the question correct, you receive the Coupon. After you get all three Coupons, return to the man to receive the Pokétch.

The Pokétch building is the northwest corner of the city. If you return after you receive an odd-numbered badge (i.e., the [[Coal Badge]], [[Cobble Badge]], [[Relic Badge]], and [[Icicle Badge]]), you can talk to the owner inside the building to receive a new [[Pokétch#Apps|application]] for your Pokétch. Out of those you can receive from him, the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} is the most useful because it can be used to track [[Roaming Pokémon]].

===Later......===
====Global Trade Station====
The building in the south western area is the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]], where you can connect with other players worldwide. However, to enter the building you need to have the {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge}}.

====Jubilife TV====
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Jubilife TV}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Fun-and-Games TV Station!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The building that is west of the northern exit to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}} is the [[Jubilife TV]] station. You may enter after receiving the Coal Badge and the [[Fashion Case]]. This building is where the [[Time|daily]] [[Pokémon Lottery Corner#Generation IV|lottery]] is held, where you can receive prizes if one of your Pokémon's [[Trainer ID number]]s matches the random number drawn. On the second floor, you can dress up your Pokémon with [[Accessory|accessories]]. On the third floor, you can access your [[Jubilife TV#Ranking Rooms|game records]].

Additionally, there is always a Trainer in the lobby that you can battle once per day, but the trainer that appears depends on the [[Days of the week|day of the week]]. There are therefore seven different trainers that may appear. (See the [[Jubilife TV#Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Jubilife TV]] article for trainer information.)

===Additional Items===
Inside the building west of Jubilife City that leads to {{rt|218|Sinnoh}}, you can receive the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} from a {{tc|Fisherman}}, who also offers to teach you [[Fishing#Generation IV|how to fish]]. You can't do anything on Route 218 but fish until you get {{m|Surf}}, but you can catch a {{p|Magikarp}} here with your Old Rod. This is a useful Pokémon if you have enough patience, because while Magikarp is the weakest Pokémon ever, it evolves into the brutally powerful {{p|Gyarados}}, which is a great addition to a team and can learn {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Strength}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}.

Back in Jubilife City, the apartment east of the TV station has a blond-haired girl on the first floor that will give you a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}.

The following items are available in Jubilife City:

|}

Once you have the [[Town Map]] and [[Pokétch]], you can head east to {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}, though you may want to head north to {{rt|204|Sinnoh}} and catch some more Pokémon first.

==Route 204==
Here, you can catch some Pokémon and battle some Trainers, but you can't continue through the [[Ravaged Path]] until you get {{m|Rock Smash}} and the [[Coal Badge]]. (See [[Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 3#Route 204|Section 3]].)

{{p|Budew}} is a {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon. It evolves into {{p|Roselia}} if leveled up when its [[happiness]] is high, and will evolve again into {{p|Roserade}} when a [[Shiny Stone]] is used. Roselia's evolutionary line has very high {{DL|Stats|Special Attack}}. Budew has {{m|Absorb}}, which isn't very good to attack, but the healing is good to have. It learns {{m|Growth}} at Level 4 to raise its Special Attack, and it learns {{m|Stun Spore}} at Level 10, which inflicts [[Paralysis (status ailment)|paralysis]] and helps when you are catching Pokémon. Budew learns {{m|Mega Drain}}, the stronger version of Absorb, at Level 13, but then it doesn't learn any good moves after unless it evolves. Try to let Budew evolve at or before Level 19, because that's when Roselia learns {{m|Magical Leaf}}, a {{t|Grass}}-type move that never misses like {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Roselia learns {{m|Giga Drain}}, the strongest version of Absorb, at Level 25, then learns {{m|Petal Dance}}, a Grass-type {{m|Thrash}}, at Level 40. It also learns {{m|Aromatherapy}}, which cures all [[status ailments]] of your team, and {{m|Synthesis}}, which heals itself for a variable amount of HP depending on the weather, at Levels 43 and 46 respectively. When Roselia evolves into Roserade, it doesn't learn any moves afterwards, but its Special Attack will skyrocket. Roserade can also relearn {{m|Weather Ball}}, an attack that the type changes according to the weather. Roselia's evolution line can also learn {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which has high base power, through [[TM]]s, making use of their high Special Attack.

==Route 203==
[[Image:Route 203.png|thumb|250px|Route 203]]
Now head east towards {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}, where {{ga|Barry|your rival}} will meet you and challenge you to a battle.

The only new finds are {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Abra}}. Zubat is basically useless, and Abra will only be powerful if you evolve {{p|Kadabra}} into {{p|Alakazam}} through [[trade]]. Additionally, Abra is difficult to catch because it will always use {{m|Teleport}} unless you use {{m|Taunt}}, which {{p|Chimchar}} will learn at level 9. However, if you are unable or too impatient to catch Abra, a woman in [[Oreburgh City]] will trade you one for a {{p|Machop}}.

To avoid wild Pokémon, you can use the {{DL|Repel|Repel}} found on the north bank of the pond. In the future, you will be able to buy Repels from [[Poké Mart]]s.

==Oreburgh Gate==
[[Image:Oreburgh Gate.png|thumb|Oreburgh Gate]]
Enter the cave on the east and you will find yourself in [[Oreburgh Gate]]. The {{tc|Hiker}} at the entrance stops you and gives you [[HM06]] ({{m|Rock Smash}}), but you can't use it outside battle until you get the [[Coal Badge]]. Then fight the two Trainers inside the cave. There is nothing to do here until except fight the two trainers and catch a {{p|Geodude}} or {{p|Zubat}} until you have your first badge. Head east to [[Oreburgh City]].

==Oreburgh City==

When you enter the city, a {{tc|Youngster}} shows you to the [[Oreburgh Gym]]. You meet your rival {{ga|Barry}}, but he tells you that you are too late to battle the [[Gym Leader]], [[Roark]]. He mentions that Roark has left for the [[Oreburgh Mine]].

If you explore around town, you can find someone in a condominium west of the [[Poké Mart]] that will trade you an {{p|Abra}} for a {{p|Machop}}. If you want an Abra but unable to catch one on {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}, you can find a Machop on {{rt|207|Sinnoh}} (directly north of Oreburgh City) to trade. You can also find different types of [[Poké Ball]]s from different people around town. One of these, a {{DL|Poké Ball|Heal Ball}}, can be obtained in the same building as the woman who wants a Machop by showing the man on the second floor a {{p|Zubat}}.

The only important building in Oreburgh City is the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]. When you retrieve a [[fossil]] from [[the Underground]], you can talk to the man at the counter in the building to revive the fossil and retrieve whichever Pokémon is associated with that fossil. Each version determines what kind of fossil is commonly found, aside from the [[Old Amber]].

===Oreburgh Pokémon Center===
Though all [[Pokémon Center]]s have a [[Pokémon Center#Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club]] in their basements, Oreburgh's is the first one you can access. An attendant named [[Teala]] will give you a [[Pal Pad]] and explain how it works the first time you enter. You can now battle and [[trade]] with other players using their [[Friend Code]]. Additionally, a {{tc|Psychic}} on the ground floor will ask you which kind of trainer you want to be, presenting you with four options to choose from. This becomes your [[Trainer class]] while you are in a [[Union Room]], and is otherwise assigned randomly.

Now head north to {{rt|207|Sinnoh}} to catch a {{p|Machop}} and grab a couple [[Poké Ball]]s, or just continue south to the [[Oreburgh Mine]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Part 1

Backgammon: second person present for consistency, grammar, clean-up, etc

[[Image:Twinleaf Town map.png|thumb|Twinleaf Town]]
==In the Beginning...==
When you first turn on the game, [[Professor Rowan]] introduces himself and but says to just call him the Pokémon Professor. He then asks if it is your first adventure and is willing to give advice as needed such as the basic control and adventure information. Then, he talks and asks you to touch the button in the middle circle of the [[Poké Ball]]. A [[Munchlax (Pokémon)|Munchlax]] then appears from the Poké Ball, and Rowan goes on to speak about the human relationship alongside Pokémon as friends. He then states that his job as a professor is to conduct research on these Pokémon.

You are then asked if you are a boy or a girl, so choose wisely as you will be unable to change gender once you have started your adventure. You then choose a name, which will also stay with you for the remainder of the game. You are than asked what your friend's name is, and he will be [[Barry (game)|your rival]] for the game.

Your adventure now begins, so it's time to jump into the world of Pokémon!

==Twinleaf Town==
[[Image:Rival Lake.png|thumb|Your rival takes you to [[Lake Verity]]]]
The journey begins at your home in [[Twinleaf Town]]. You are watching the television special report titled "Search for the Red Gyrados!" when a news broadcast describes a team searching for a [[red Gyarados]] in a far-off lake (presumably the [[Lake of Rage]] in [[Johto]]). The broadcast states that the team has not observed the Pokémon in question.

On your way out of the house, your mother will tell you that your rival {{ga|Barry}} wishes to see you as it is an emergency. She also warns you to stay out the tall grass as [[wild Pokémon]] may attack. Just as you enter his house, Barry bumps into you. He tells you to come with him to [[Lake Verity|the lake]] and says that he is fining you {{PDollar}}1 million if you aren't there. As he is about to leave, Barry says he has forgotten something and runs back inside the house. Head inside and upstairs, where Barry is deciding what to bring. Barry then notices you and rushes out of the house. Barry will now wait for you on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}.

==Lake Verity==
[[Image:Rowan Dawn Verity.png|thumb|left|Rowan's assistant Dawn/Lucas with [[Professor Rowan]]]]
[[Image:Verity.png|thumb|right|Lake Verity]]
[[Image:DP First Battle.png|thumb|right|First Battle]]
After you reach Route 201, Barry tells you about the news report on TV about the Red Gyarados. He wants to go to the local lake to see if there is a similar Pokémon, and he will now follow you. The only place you can walk to is [[Lake Verity]]. Upon your arrival, you see [[Professor Rowan]], and either {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} (whichever is the opposite gender of your selected player character). The two are searching the lake for something and discuss Rowan's return to [[Sinnoh]] after four years. They push past you, and Lucas/Dawn apologizes. Barry goes to investigate the briefcase Rowan left behind, but when you enter the long grass you are each attacked by a wild {{p|Starly}}. You then open the briefcase to find three [[Poké Ball]]s, containing {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Turtwig}}.

When you choose one, that Pokémon will become your starter Pokémon, and Barry will automatically select the one with a type advantage over yours. Choosing the correct starter Pokémon for your playstyle can be an important choice in the game.

Turtwig, the Turtle Pokémon, is a solid choice. Turtwig evolves into Grotle, and then Torterra at level 32. Turtwig is a Grass type Pokémon, and Torterra gains a Ground type. Torterra has great Attack and Defense, but low Special Attack and Speed. It gets Razor Leaf and Crunch pretty early on, and Earthquake eventually. Torterra also gets Wood Hammer from the Move Tutor. Another good move for Torterra is Curse, which boosts its Attack and Defense, its two best stats, while decreasing its Speed, which is already very low. It also gets Synthesis for healing itself. For TM moves it gets Bullet Seed, Return, Giga Impact and so on. Also it gets TM Rock Polish to sharply boost Speed every time it uses it, which helps patch up its horrific speed. Swords Dance is also good to sharply boost the Attack stat, but you should choose to use either Curse or Swords Dance. It can learn Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, and Rock Climb for HM move. Torterra does have a 4x Ice weakness, so be wary of that. It any case Turtwig does good at the gyms for the most part and is a good choice for your starter.

Chimchar, the Chimp Pokémon, has high speed and high attacking stats, but at the cost of being quite fragile(having low defenses). It can use physical and special moves well. It evolves at Level 14 into Monferno, a Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon, and gains a ton of power, such as immediately learn Mach Punch after evolving(assuming you let it evolve at Level 14) and learning one of the second strongest Fighting-type move, Close Combat, at Level 36, which Monferno will start evolving into Infernape. If you make sure Chimchar evolves before or in the first Gym, you shouldn't have trouble with the Rock-type Pokémon. Chimchar and its evolution line focus primarily on offense and speed, having very high Attack, Special Attack and Speed. Its Defense and Special Defense are low, but it has the power to take out most Pokémon in the game with 1 hit or 2 hits before they even get a chance to strike, so it's not really that bad unless there is a type disadvantage. Some good moves Chimchar gets are Flame Wheel, Close Combat and Flare Blitz. Chimchar can also learn Flamethrower at Level 41 if you don't evolve it until then, but if you evolved it, Monferno and Infernape can still learn it by TM, which can be obtained before the sixth Gym. Brick Break, Focus Blast and Fire Blast are some TM moves to consider, although it learns many, many more, even learning Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Earthquake and Dig. It gets the HMs Cut, Strength (a good attacking option as well), Rock Smash and Rock Climb. In comparison to the other two starter Pokémon, Chimchar is probably the best.

Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon, has high defenses and special attack. Its attack is not good and its speed is also not good. When it becomes Empoleon, it gains the Steel type. The addition of the Steel-type will give it a wide variety of resistances, making it take very little damage from quite a few attacks. Pretty much, only Electric-, Fighting-, and Ground-type attacks are what you need to worry about — nearly everything else is resisted. Unfortunately, this good typing comes at a high cost: a bad movepool. Basically its best level up moves are Metal Claw, Aqua Jet, Peck, and Drill Peck and with Empoleon's sub-par Attack stat, it is better off using Special-based attacks such as Bubblebeam, which Prinplup learns at Level 24. If you are fine using TMs and HMs on Empoleon, Surf (HM03) and Flash Cannon (TM90) are both very powerful attacks for Empoleon to learn. Also Empoleon does eventually get Hydro Pump at level 59, but surf is preferred for general utility. In comparison to the other two starters, Piplup is probably the hardest to use. It will struggle with sub-par moves until you get the HM for Surf (right before the 5th Badge), but will then become much more useful, and very powerful after getting Flash Cannon.

All of the starters are good choices and it is down to your preference and playstyle. In any case, time to move on.

Battle the Level 2 Starly, and defeat it to give your new Pokémon 16 experience points. Suddenly, Lucas/Dawn returns and remarks that Rowan would be very angry if he/she forgot the briefcase. When Lucas/Dawn realizes that you have used the Pokémon from the briefcase, he/she takes the briefcase and hurries off.

==Twinleaf Town==
[[Image:Receiving Running Shoes.png|thumb|left|Getting the [[Running Shoes]]]]

On the way back to Twinleaf Town, you meet Lucas/Dawn and [[Professor Rowan]], who takes a look at the Pokémon you and Barry have and returns to his lab. Rowan's assistant mentions that you should stop by Rowans's lab and then hurries off.

After that, you will automatically return to your house in Twinleaf Town. You explain the situation that occurred at the lake, and Mom gives you a pair of [[Running Shoes]] and asks you to visit Professor Rowan in [[Sandgem Town]].

==Route 201==
[[Image:Route201.png|thumb|right|Route 201]]
Once you are on Route 201, head east, through the tall grass. Two Pokémon, [[Bidoof]] and [[Starly]], can be found here, but they cannot be caught yet.

If you head west to [[Verity Lakefront]] after the first patch of grass, you can find a [[Potion]] near the flowers nearest to the lake's entrance. Back to the east, head north through another patch until you reach a woman. She works for the [[Poké Mart]] and will give you another Potion for free. Continue east until you reach Sandgem Town.

Upon reaching Sandgem Town, Professor Rowan's assistant will stop you and have you go with him/her. You are then shown the [[Sandgem Town#Pokémon Research Lab|Pokémon Research Lab]], the largest building in town. As you are about to enter, Barry zooms out and says that Rowan isn't as intimidating as he first seemed, and then departs for [[Jubilife City]]. After entering the lab, Professor Rowan examines the Pokémon you chose at the lake and lets you keep it as a gift. You will then be given the option to give it a [[nickname]]. The professor formally introduces himself, and entrusts you with a [[Pokédex]] to record the data of all the Pokémon that are found throughout the [[Sinnoh]] region. Lucas/Dawn also says that he/she is on a Pokédex quest and mentions the first Pokémon that he/she used, which happens to be the one not chosen by you or your rival at the lake.

Upon leaving the lab, Lucas/Dawn will give you a tour and show you the [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]]. He/she then insists that you tell your mom that you are leaving on a journey and leaves to {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}, where he/she won't let you pass until you complete your mission in Twinleaf Town.

==Twinleaf Town==
Backtrack on Route 201 and head to your house. After you get some rest, your mother is happy to hear the news and will give you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Key items exclusive to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum|Journal}} to keep a record of your day-to-day activities, and she tells you to make sure to come back to visit. Barry's mother then stops by and admits that Barry left so fast that he forgot the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Key items exclusive to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum|Parcel}}, but your mother suggests that you can delivery this to Barry personally. Barry's mom mentions that Barry should be in [[Jubilife City]] right now.

Leave Twinleaf and return to Sandgem Town. Head south to {{rt|219|Sinnoh}} to pick up a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}}, but you cannot explore the rest of this route until you can use {{m|Surf}}. Head north of Sandgem Town to reach Route 202.

Backgammon: /* Suite Key */

Shouldn't we note that it sometimes rains on this Route. I've seen it happen on many different occasions. [[User:Moldy orange|Moldy orange]] 21:07 11 January 2008

Someone needs to upload a new picture because a good chunk of this picture is actually Valor Lakefront. I would, but I don't know how to scan an image and load it (and look nice anyway).

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 04:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone know about the little patch of the grass that is glitchy? [[User:Happizelpom|Happi]][[User talk:Happizelpom|zel]][[Special:Contributions/Happizelpom|pom]] 05:28, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
== Rain Problem ==
Anyone knows about the rain? Thought it was [[Acid Rain]] when I tried to solve the problem, it didn't work! --[[User:The Bulb's Master|The Bulb's Master]] 12:23, 9 August 2009 (UTC) Master of Bulbasaur and Turtwig♀
:Rain happens here from time to time. Kinda like Diamond Dust sometimes happens at Snowpoint City. It's not a problem. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
<blockquote>''Like Route 11 in Kanto, Route 43 in Johto and Route 123 in Hoenn, Route 213 and its associated lakefront use the theme from the first meeting with the professor of each region as its theme.''</blockquote>
What is this supposed to mean? -- [[User:Hohoo|Hohoo]] 19:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
:It means that Routes 11, 43, 123, and 213 reuse the music first heard when the player meets Professor Whatsisname. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

:: I think the trivia is wrong in all ways save for the route 123 music. The actual routes that shares the Professor <Tree> music are the routes 24 and 25; 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34; 123 and some others that i don't remember in Hoenn; and Sinnoh don't have one.

== Suite Key ==

Shouldn't this mention that you find the [[Suite Key]] here, and can exchange it to the girl in Valor Lakefront? ~ [[User:Backgammon|Backgammon]] 23:18, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
:No the Suite Key is actually found in [[Hotel Grand Lake]]. It is mentioned on that article. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 23:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
::I see. The area the Suite Key is located is still technically Route 213, but I didn't see the link to the Hotel Grand Lake page above the items. However, searching "Suite Key" brings you to the [[List of key items in Generation IV]], and it links to Route 213 under Locations. Perhaps this should be changed to [[Hotel Grand Lake]] or [[Hotel Grand Lake]] ([[Route 213]]) for clarity? Thanks, [[User:Backgammon|Backgammon]] 02:16, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
