Keeping Bulbagarden online costs a significant amount, and it is only by [[Bulbapedia:Benefactors|generous]] [[Bulbapedia:Site support|donations]] that we are able to foot the bill. We hope to decrease our reliance on charity by publishing advertisements on Bulbapedia, which is the single largest site on the server in traffic terms. Specifically, we are proposing the publication of [[wp:Google|Google]] [[wp:AdSense|AdSense]] advertisements in the site-wide notice area.

We have refrained from doing so in the past because people are not drawn to Bulbapedia for its community, as is the case with the [[Bulbagarden forums]], but for its content. Bulbapedia is a [[wp:Web 2.0|Web 2.0]] site, therefore its content is created by its users - and to that degree it is also owned by its users, as opposed to other reference sites like Veekun or Smogon, where content is created by the staff. To monetize user-created content can be considered unethical - as one cynic put it, "Web 2.0: you make all the content, we make all the money."

Therefore, we have decided to consult you, the creators of content, on this matter. Naturally, votes will be weighted to reflect the number of edits the voter has made. Please cast your vote by adding your signature (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) to the end of the signature lists below. All registered users may vote '''once''' to:
* Support the publication of Google AdSense advertisements on Bulbapedia
* Reject the publication of Google AdSense advertisements on Bulbapedia
* Abstain

Users may change their vote at any time until this poll is closed.

[[Image:Sinnoh_Region.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Bird's eye-view of the Sinnoh Region]]
The '''Sinnoh region''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a region in the Pokémon world, the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of [[wp:Hokkaido|Hokkaido]], and according to the [[anime]], the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] region.

== Geography ==
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. The region also features full-land geography, with only five sea routes to go through, and three lakes at the northern, western and eastern ends of the region; Lake Verity, Lake Acuity and Lake Valour. Later on the game it was reveal that there was a fourth lake; Sendoff Spring next to Turnback Cave. Due to the large size of Sinnoh, it is split into three sub-regions. The region, also for the first time in the RPG series, is divided by [[Mt. Coronet|a mountain range]], splitting continental Sinnoh in two sub-regions Western and Eastern. This split causes some instances of [[wp:regional speciation|regional speciation]]; {{p|Shellos}} differ on either side of the range, for example.

Northeastern Sinnoh a small sub-region off the coast of continental Sinnoh, with one city (Fight Area) and two towns (Survival Area and Resort Area). At Northeastern Sinnoh there is also two major location in the area: Battle Park where trainers gather around the world to battle and an ancient volcano, Stark Mountain where legend say a mystical magma stone that creates earthquake as soon as someone move the stone.

* [[Sendoff Spring]]
* [[Sinnoh Underground]]
* [[Spear Pillar]]
* [[Stark Mountain]]
* [[Turnback Cave]]

===Routes===

Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from [[Route 201|201]] to [[Route 230|230]]. Compared to previous generations, there do not seem to be many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them.

Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably [[Route 212]], which has two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's [[Route 114]] did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

First partner Pokémon

2007-04-17T20:52:30Z

ComputerfreakHR: /* Sinnoh */

At the beginning of their quest, [[trainer]]s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Hajimete no Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''saisho no Pokémon''). This [[Pokémon]] will be used to [[battle]] the first [[wild]] Pokémon that the trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced trainers may still use their starters.

=In the games=
In the main [[games]], each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Generally, trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{t|Grass}} Pokémon. The trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that weakens the player's, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:
==Normal starters==
===Main series===
==== [[Kanto]] ====
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Green|Green]], and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] will bring trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:001.png]] '''{{p|Bulbasaur}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:004.png]] '''{{p|Charmander}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:007.png]] '''{{p|Squirtle}}'''
|}

The player's [[Blue (game)|rival]] will then pick the type-advantaged starter, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in the [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In [[Pokémon Yellow]], Oak instead gives out:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:025.png]] '''{{p|Pikachu}}'''
|}

The Pikachu is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto [[Route 1]] that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets.

The player's rival will get an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

During the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games.

==== [[Johto]] ====
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and in [[Pokémon Crystal]], [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:152.png]] '''{{p|Chikorita}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:155.png]] '''{{p|Cyndaquil}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:158.png]] '''{{p|Totodile}}'''
|}

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that [[Silver (game)|a thief]] has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon, the one with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game.

==== [[Hoenn]] ====
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] and in [[Pokémon Emerald]], after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}} (R/S) or {{p|Zigzagoon}}, (E) he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:252.png]] '''{{p|Treecko}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:255.png]] '''{{p|Torchic}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:258.png]] '''{{p|Mudkip}}'''
|}

The player's neighbor, [[Brendan (game)|Brendan]] or [[May (game)|May]], already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman|Norman's]] and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. Strangely enough, by the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival.

==== [[Sinnoh]] ====
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], when a {{p|Starly}} attacks the player at [[Trust Lake]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[alternate coloration|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:387.png]] '''{{p|Turtwig}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:390.png]] '''{{p|Chimchar}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:393.png]] '''{{p|Piplup}}'''
|}

The player's [[Damion|in-game neighbor]] will choose the one that weakens the player's choice, and the NPC who is the other-gender choice will have the Pokémon weakened by the player's choice. After fighting off the Starly and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and Damion to keep their choices. Rowan also gives [[Lukas]]/[[Dawn]] to keep the remaining Pokémon.

===Side series===
==== [[Orre]] ====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:196.png]] '''{{p|Espeon}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:197.png]] '''{{p|Umbreon}}'''
|}

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the Double-Battle system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves [[Taunt]] and [[Snatch]], as well as [[Bite]] which is otherwise only available through [[breeding]] at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves [[Return]] and [[Reflect]].

In [[Pokémon XD]]:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:133.png]] '''{{p|Eevee}}'''
|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{i|Water Stone}}, {{i|Thunder Stone}}, {{i|Fire Stone}}, {{i|Moon Shard}} and {{i|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Generation III|(then)]] [[Eeveelution|five evolutions]].

==== [[Fiore]] ====
In [[Pokémon Ranger]]:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:311.png]] '''{{p|Plusle}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:312.png]] '''{{p|Minun}}'''
|}

This is the only Pokémon that the player will keep throughout the game. Instead of being a choice based on which Pokémon is more appealing, it is dependent on the player's gender choice, Plusle belonging to [[Solana]] and Minun belonging to [[Lunick]].

==Special starters==
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]:

{| style="text-align: center; font-size:85%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:001.png]] '''{{p|Bulbasaur}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:004.png]] '''{{p|Charmander}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:007.png]] '''{{p|Squirtle}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:025.png]] '''{{p|Pikachu}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:052.png]] '''{{p|Meowth}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:054.png]] '''{{p|Psyduck}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:066.png]] '''{{p|Machop}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:104.png]] '''{{p|Cubone}}'''
|-
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:133.png]] '''{{p|Eevee}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:152.png]] '''{{p|Chikorita}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:155.png]] '''{{p|Cyndaquil}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:158.png]] '''{{p|Totodile}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:252.png]] '''{{p|Treecko}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:255.png]] '''{{p|Torchic}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:258.png]] '''{{p|Mudkip}}'''
! style="width:80px" | [[Image:300.png]] '''{{p|Skitty}}'''
|}

In this game, instead of the player choosing a Pokémon to train at start, depending on choices made on a test, the player '''''becomes''''' one of these Pokémon.

=In the anime=
Upon their tenth birthday, young people can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, Johto trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

Other rookie trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

==List of starter Pokémon in the anime==
* [[Ash Ketchum]] received a [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] from [[Professor Oak]].
* [[Gary Oak]] received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that he [[evolve|evolved]] into a [[Gary's Blastoise|Blastoise]].
* [[Brock]] received an {{p|Onix}} from [[Flint (anime)|his father]] that now belongs to his brother, [[Forest]], who evolved it into a [[Brock's Steelix|Steelix]].
* [[James]] received a [[Growlie|Growlithe]].
* [[Ritchie]] may have started with a {{p|Charmander}}, now a [[Zippo|Charmeleon]], as it is the only Pokémon on his [[party|team]] that is a starter Pokémon in any of the standard regions, excepting his [[Sparky|Pikachu]].
* [[Sammy Oak]] started with a {{p|Charmander}}, which is a {{p|Charmeleon}} as of [[Pokémon 4Ever]].
* [[Jimmy]] received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]] that he evolved into a [[Jimmy's Typhlosion|Typhlosion]].
* [[Marina (Legend of Thunder)|Marina]] received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that she evolved into a {{p|Croconaw}}.
* [[Vincent]] received a {{p|Chikorita}} from Professor Elm that he evolved into a {{p|Meganium}}.
* The character based on [[Silver (game)|Silver]] apparently received a {{p|Sneasel}}.
* [[May (anime)|May]] received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that she evolved into a [[May's Blaziken|Blaziken]].
* [[Harrison (Johto League)|Harrison]] also received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]], which is as well now a [[Harrison's Blaziken|Blaziken]].
* [[Gilbert (Kanto)|Gilbert]] ([[H014]]) received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] received a [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Paul]] has a [[Paul's Chimchar|Chimchar]] the first time he is seen, many speculate that this was his starter Pokémon.

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]], a {{p|Charmander}}, and a [[Ash's Squirtle|Squirtle]] in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]], both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur also was going to evolve, but decided itself not to become an {{p|Ivysaur}} in [[EP051]].
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, [[Ash's Cyndaquil|Cyndaquil]], and [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]], of which only Chikorita evolved, into [[Ash's Bayleef|Bayleef]].
* Ash as well captured {{p|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured {{p|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming [[Ash's Sceptile|Sceptile]] before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into [[Brock's Marshtomp|Marshtomp]]. Along with May's {{p|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing [[Ash's Turtwig|Turtwig]], while his rival [[Paul]] owns a [[Paul's Chimchar|Chimchar]] and [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] herself has the third, [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]]. This is a perfect imitation of the games: the rival (Paul) has the starter strong against the main character's (Ash) while the second rival (Dawn) has the starter weak against the main character's.
* Gary Oak has had his {{p|Eevee}} since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to [[Pokémon Yellow]], where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash, and his Eevee evolved into [[Gary's Umbreon|Umbreon]].

=Trivia=
* Of the four {{type2|Fire}} starters, three of their Romanized Japanese names start with H, ''Hitokage'', ''Hinoarashi'', and ''Hikozaru''. Those same three have names starting with a C in the English language versions, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Chimchar}}, respectively.
* All starters in the normal series of games start off having only their native type-- Grass, Water, or Fire. Only one of them starts off with a second type: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, who is part {{t|Poison}}.
* Usually upon [[evolution]], the starter Pokémon gain another type. However, {{p|Blastoise}}, the three [[Johto]] starters' final forms ({{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Typhlosion}}, and {{p|Feraligatr}}), and {{p|Sceptile}} never gain a second type.
* The final forms of the starters also vary in type based on their region. All three of the Johto region's starters never gain a second type, while all three of the [[Sinnoh]] region's starters do have a second type. It should be noted that the Sinnoh starters' secondary types are configured so that each is theoretically a perfect match for each other. [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] both have two of their starters' final forms having two types, while the third has only one.
* All of the Kanto starters, excepting {{p|Pikachu}}, can interbreed, being in the [[Egg groups#Monster|Monster]] egg group. The {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}} families join them, however, {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s family is instead in the [[Egg groups#Ground|Ground]] group, a pattern that would continue into [[Generation III]] where both {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Mudkip}} were in the Monster group while {{p|Torchic}} was in the Ground group. Finally, in [[Generation IV]], only {{p|Turtwig}} is in the Monster group, leaving both {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Chimchar}} in the Ground group.

Pokémon world in relation to the real world

2007-03-21T22:51:47Z

ComputerfreakHR: /* Sinnoh */

: ''The contents of this article are speculative.''
----
The design of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, specifically those of [[wp:Japan|Japan]].

=Kanto=
The [[wp:Kanto region|Kantō region]] of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the Pokémon world, it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern [[wp:Chubu region|Chūbu]].

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl''' are the first true Pokémon RPG games for the [[Nintendo DS]]. The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006, and will be released in North America on April 22, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the player's starting area will be [[Twinleaf Town]]. All of the names used for the towns, people, items, and Pokémon of the region are tentative at this point in time, and may be changed before the North American release.

=Plot=
At the start, the player sees a newscast about a sighting of a [[alternate color|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. They then head to their [[Jun|rival's]] house and go to [[Trust Lake]] with him to try to see it. Once there, a {{p|Starly}} attacks. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{t|Flying}}-type. As is always the case, the rival takes the Pokémon that weakens the player's choice. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her running shoes and then the player leaves for Sandgem Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon they chose to keep and a Pokédex.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and their leader, [[Akagi]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version) begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Yuxie}}, {{p|Emrit}} and {{p|Azelf}} must be summoned and the player must catch or defeat the Legendary.

=Connectivity=
*Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after completing a task within the game. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon.
*Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per day per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in a park before transferring from another GBA game.
*The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
*The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate through "voice chat" online.
*Diamond and Pearl feature Wi-Fi connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[GameCube]].
*Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want. The global trading system will then go through a multitude of trades with other trainers in order to get the desired Pokémon.
*Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to [[Pokémon Ranger]]. By completing a special mission in Ranger, a Manaphy Egg can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the Legendary Pokemon, {{p|Manaphy}}.

=Features=
The day-night system first appearing in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] returns, now with five time periods: morning, day, evening, night, and late night. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The [[Pokémon professor|regional Professor]]'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]], and he gives the player a choice of one of three Pokémon to start their journey with, as the others did.

A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|Thunderpunch}} is now [[Stat#Attack|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} turns into [[Stat#Special Attack|special]]. This has been highly controversial with fans of the series, as it is considered to be "wasting" some strong Pokémon from previous generations, such as {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, while other fans of the series hail this change as "more realistic".

Though it was reported that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this has been debunked. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.

==Contests==
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the Pokémon contests, now known as Super Contests.
Instead of making Pokéblocks with berries, you make Pofin, also known by fans as Pokébread. To make this, you stir the mixture in the direction the screen suggests, going faster or slower depending on which contest stat you wish to raise. Then, you feed it to the Pokémon as usual.

The first round is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on you Pofin or Pokéblock stats, you must dress up your Pokémon with the stylus within a time limit, using different dress-ups depending on the style of contest. Depending on the rank of the contest, you have to decorate your Pokémon with more ornaments.

The second is a dancing round, using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (If you're the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers.

The third round is very similar to the third round in RSE, and the main, and indeed, only, difference is that there are three judges. You get more points if you are the only Pokémon to peform to that judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The "(Pokémon) got the crowd going!" system is still in place, but each judge has a seperate meter for that, meaning it could be an advantage to appeal for a judge everyone else is appealing for. However, it could be risky as well.

==New Gyms==
As is always the case, there are eight new [[Pokémon Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own type affiliation. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Hyōta]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Natane]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Sumomo]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Maxi]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Melissa]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Tōgan]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Suzuna]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Denji]] ({{t|Electric}}).
==Elite Four==
The new [[Elite Four]] is located at [[Foento City]]. The Elite trainers are [[Ryō]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Kikuno]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Ōba]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Goyō]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Shirona]].

==New Pokémon==
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number]]''
As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.

The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed.

[[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon]] continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

2006 was crunch time for the Fourth Generation. The ninth movie, ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', featured {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}}, and {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} were soon confirmed to be on the two games' [[:Category:Version mascots|boxart]]. On September 27, all 107 of the new Pokémon's menu icons were revealed on [[Filb.de]].

During the week that followed the games' Japanese release, [[Serebii.net]] featured a "Discovery Trench" that revealed the names and stats of many of the previously-unknown Pokémon to the general public.

'''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''' is the ninth season of the [[Pokémon anime]] and the final season of the [[Advanced Generation]] English-language dub. It follows [[Ash Ketchum]] as he continues to collect symbols from the [[Kanto]] [[Battle Frontier]] while [[May]] participates in [[Pokémon contest]]s. It began with ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', which originally aired on September 8, 2006 in the United States, and is expected by fans to end with ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

The dub underwent many changes at the start of the season. [[Pokémon USA]] took the dubbing rights from [[4Kids Entertainment]], resulting in a [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|recasting controversy]]. Meanwhile, [[Kids' WB!]] (a broadcast network) dropped all anime from its lineup leading to [[Cartoon Network]] (a cable network) picking up the series.

It is preceded by [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] and is succeeded by the as-of-yet unnamed season that starts the saga based on the upcoming [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl games]]. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan. An invention of the American animation and television industry, a season is the only way to differentiate one story arc, such as ''Advanced Battle'', from any other in the [[Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation (series)|Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation]] series. Unlike in Japan, where episodes are aired almost every week of the year, in America episodes are aired in usually 52-episode blocs, or "seasons," for several months before taking a break of several months to allow production on the next batch of episodes to begin.

Shadow Lugia

2007-02-20T22:05:24Z

ComputerfreakHR:

[[Image:Pokemon_XD_Dark_Lugia.png|thumb|150px|right|Shadow Lugia]]
'''Shadow Lugia''' (Japanese: '''ダークルギア''' ''Dark Lugia''), codenamed '''XD001''', is a {{p|Lugia}} corrupted by the criminal organization [[Cipher]]. It is believed to be the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], completely immune to purification. As a sign of its corruption, unlike other Shadow Pokémon, Lugia's appearance changes from that of a normal Lugia.

At the start of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], XD001 attacks the cruise ship [[S.S. Libra]], which had been carrying many Pokémon to Orre. After Cipher's agents steal all of the Pokémon on board, Lugia sends the ship flying, leaving it stranded deep in Orre's vast desert.

During the course of the game, XD001 is mentioned often, but never seen. One of Cipher's administrators, [[Lovrina]], tells [[Michael]] that it was she who created XD001, and reveals that she has perfected it to be immune to purification when he encounters her again on [[Citadark Isle]].

As well on Citadark Isle, Michael finally confronts Lugia, sent out by [[Greevil]] to defeat the boy before the other six (also Shadow) members of his [[party]].

After capturing Lugia, Michael will find that Lovrina was right-- Shadow Lugia cannot be purified through battling with it, using {{i|cologne}}s, a {{i|Time Flute}}, or by any other normal means. However, the [[Purification Chamber]], which was jointly developed by Michael's father and [[Professor Krane]] will be able to do the trick, but only if all nine of the chambers within it are at maximum tempo.

When it is a Shadow Pokémon, Lugia knows {{m|Shadow Blast}}, {{m|Shadow Down}}, {{m|Shadow Shed}}, and {{m|Shadow Storm}}, and is [[level]] 50. Once [[Purification|purified]], it will learn {{m|Psycho Boost}}, {{m|Featherdance}}, {{m|Earthquake}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}} to replace the lost [[Shadow move]]s.

'''Brock''' is the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym#Pewter Gym|Gym]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Boulderbadge|Boulderbadge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{t|Rock}}-type [[Pokémon]].

=In the anime=
[[Image:Brock-anime1.jpg|left|thumb|Brock in the original series]]
In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Brock is a [[Pokémon breeder]] who is a close friend and traveling companion of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]. His Japanese voice actor is うえだゆうじ ''[[Yūji Ueda]]'', and his English voice actors are [[Eric Stuart]] ([[EP005]]-[[AG145]], 4Kids dub) and [[Bill Rogers]] ([[AG146]] onwards in the Pokémon USA/TAJ Productions dub). He originally trained [[Rock (type)|Rock-type]] [[Pokémon]], but has, since the beginning of the anime, diversified. He makes scrumptious [[Pokémon food]], and he hits on every pretty girl he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]- both of whom he sings about in the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]''. He also sings the ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about pretty girls.

Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times we see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with [[Ash's Charizard|Charmander]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok's]] tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{p|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the series. Because of these traits, there is a heated debate about what race Brock is, as many think he may be black, Latino, or Asian. Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn three different outfits over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown in them.

[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|Brock in the Advanced Generation series]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and though he does not have all the text-book knowledge memorized that [[Max]] does, he is debatably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even if it goes against his better judgement. He can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters.

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though starting with [[Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s and cookware; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the unnaturally large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and the cleaning, due to both his experience and talent with it and the fact that other characters show little to no ability in those areas.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he continuously fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhemina]] and [[Lucy]], but most either do not notice or care about him or are scared away by his forwardness. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains optimistic that he will one day find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened.

[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|left|thumb|Brock in the Diamond and Pearl series]]
He had a peculiar childhood and family life. His father, [[Flint]], left home to become a great [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]]. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of his siblings by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulderbadge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and [[Misty]].

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a [[Brock's Vulpix|Vulpix]] that belonged to a breeder named [[Susie]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a Pokémon beauty contest.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[Pokémon 2000|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this is again dub added.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]].

Upon his return home after journeying through Johto, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{t|Water}}-type den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock continued to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends [[May (anime)|May]] and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the [[Battle Frontier]]. He left extremely briefly when the Advanced Generation dissolved to visit his home, and is now traveling with Ash and [[Hikari]] in [[Sinnoh]].

Brock is among the longest-lived main characters in the anime, only being absent from the Orange Islands season and thus ranked under only the permanent characters of [[Ash]], [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]. Because of this, some fans believe he is too worn-out as a character and should be removed from the cast as soon as possible. Others believe he has established himself as a permanent character, and do not see him being removed from the cast any time in the near future.

=In the games=
[[Image:Sugimoribrockoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Brock from Pokémon Red and Blue]]
Brock's title is ''The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer''. Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]].

In each game, there is only one other trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{t|Ground}}-type Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulderbadge, Brock gives out [[TM34]] for {{m|Bide}}, in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], [[Pokémon Green]], and [[Pokémon Yellow]]. In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], he gives out [[TM39]] for {{m|Rock Tomb}}. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal]], he doesn't give out a [[TM]]. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one trainer will not allow you to continue onto [[Route 3]] until you have defeated Brock.

Dawn's Piplup

2007-02-18T17:16:25Z

ComputerfreakHR:

[[Image:Hikari's Pochama.jpg|right|thumb|Hikari and her Piplup.]]
'''Hikari's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is [[Hikari]]'s first [[Pokémon]]. She befriended it after saving it from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. She also fed Piplup before receiving it from Rowan. It is voiced by 小桜エツ子''Etsuko Kozakura''.

Piplup initially would not accept food from Hikari - as described in the Pokédex, Piplup have high pride and dislike receiving food from people; however, it seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from it. It shows signs of having a short temper, getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and its [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]].

List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number

2007-02-17T23:00:18Z

ComputerfreakHR: /* List of Pokémon by Browser number */

This is a list of Pokémon in the order dictated by the [[Browser]], an item that acts like a [[Pokédex]] for the [[Fiore]] region, meaning that the Pokémon listed are all native to Fiore as well. All of the Pokémon are from [[Generation III]] or before.

In [[Pokémon Ranger]], Pokémon are put into Groups, which are always one of their [[type]]s from the main series. However, unlike the main series, there are no dual-types. A Pokémon's Field Move is used outside of battle to overcome obstacles. All Field Moves have three levels. Level 2 obstacles can only be overcome by Level 2 or 3 Field Moves, and Level 3 obstacles can only be overcome by Level 3 Field Moves. Battle Moves are used during a capture attempt. Battle Moves have the same name as Pokémon Types, except that there are no Normal, Dragon, or Steel Battle Moves, and the Battle Move is most often the type of the Pokémon not represented by their group, if they have two types in the main series. The effectiveness of the Battle Move is determined by the Group of the Pokémon in the capture attempt. The player's partner Pokémon (Plusle or Minun) is the only Pokémon that can use the Discharge Battle Move.

ComputerfreakHR: /* Sinnoh League */

[[Image:Cissy badge.jpg|thumb|[[Ash Ketchum]] examines a badge he won from [[Cissy]]]]
A '''badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''badge'') is an item which denotes a [[Pokémon trainer]] as having defeated a [[Gym Leader]]. Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[gym]] badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young trainers usually begin their initial Pokémon journey by travelling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger, and can be pinned to a shirt.

Badges affect a [[Pokémon]]'s behavior. A symbol of competence on the trainer's part, badges force Pokémon under a certain [[level]] to obey. Additionally, trainers cannot have a Pokémon use an [[HM]] move outside battle without the appropriate badge.

=In the Anime=
The [[Anime]] has a few different rules for badges than in the games. Primarily, badges seem to do nothing beside signify the defeat of a given Gym Leader. A Pokémon may choose not to obey its trainer even if he or she has gained all eight badges, such as [[Ash's Charizard]].

Gym Leaders are quite lenient about giving out badges in the Anime. Additionally, trainers do not necessarily have to win a battle with the Gym Leader in order to earn a badge. The Orange Crew, for example, all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles and [[Ash Ketchum]] was awarded several badges because of his kind heart and determination.

[[Gary Oak]] acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is a finite number of badges that can be given out in a given region.

Moving up a grade in [[Pokémon Tech]] is the equivalent of winning two Gym badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in the Pokémon League.

Trainers can take a three-part test that awards a single badge which allows entry into the Pokémon League.

=In the Pokémon Special manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the trainer who wields the badges.

It is not known what sort of material badges are made of, but they have been used for other purposes. The [[Mask of Ice]], for instance, made an armored mask out of crushed badges.

[[Team Rocket]] also used seven Kanto Gym badges to power a machine that combined three different [[Legendary Pokémon]] into a single beast. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earthbadge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament, however without eight badges, a trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals.

=In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga=
In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], badges work in a way similar to the anime, however, there are some minor differences. All badges have the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech "Class D", "Class C" and so forth. Badges increase the the rank of the trainer who owns them. Ash once believed that he could increase his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, however this was not the case.

==Plot==
At the start, the player sees a newscast about a sighting of a [[alternate color|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. They then head to their [[Jun|rival's]] house and go to [[Trust Lake]] with him to try to see it. Once there, a {{p|Starly}} attacks. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{t|Flying}}-type. As is always the case, the rival takes the Pokémon that weakens the player's choice. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her running shoes and then the player leaves for Masago Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon they chose to keep and a Pokédex.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and their leader, [[Akagi]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version) begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Yuxie}}, {{p|Emrit}} and {{p|Agnome}} must be summoned and the player must catch or defeat the Legendary.

==Connectivity==
*Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after completing a task within the game. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon.
*Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per day per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in a park before transferring from another GBA game.
*The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
*The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate through "voice chat" online.
*Diamond and Pearl feature Wi-Fi connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[GameCube]].
*Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want. The global trading system will then go through a multitude of trades with other trainers in order to get the desired Pokémon.

==Features==
The day-night system first appearing in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] returns, now with five time periods: morning, day, evening, night, and late night. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The [[Pokémon professor|regional Professor]]'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]], and he gives the player a choice of one of three Pokémon to start their journey with, as the others did.

A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|Thunderpunch}} is now [[Stat#Attack|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} turns into [[Stat#Special Attack|special]]. This has been highly controversial with fans of the series, as it is considered to be "wasting" some strong Pokémon from previous generations, such as {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, while other fans of the series hail this change as "more realistic".

Though it was reported that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this has been debunked. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.

==Contests==
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the Pokémon contests, now known as Super Contests.
Instead of making Pokéblocks with berries, you make Pofin, also known by fans as Pokébread. To make this, you stir the mixture in the direction the screen suggests, going faster or slower depending on which contest stat you wish to raise. Then, you feed it to the Pokémon as usual.

The first round is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on you Pofin or Pokéblock stats, you must dress up your Pokémon with the stylus within a time limit, using different dress-ups depending on the style of contest. Depending on the rank of the contest, you have to decorate your Pokémon with more ornaments.

The second is a dancing round, using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (If you're the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers.

The third round is very similar to the third round in RSE, and the main, and indeed, only, difference is that there are three judges. You get more points if you are the only Pokémon to peform to that judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The "(Pokémon) got the crowd going!" system is still in place, but each judge has a seperate meter for that, meaning it could be an advantage to appeal for a judge everyone else is appealing for. However, it could be risky as well.

=Gyms and Elite Four=
==New Gyms==
As is always the case, there are eight new [[Pokémon Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own type affiliation. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Hyōta]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Natane]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Sumomo]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Maxi]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Melissa]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Tōgan]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Suzuna]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Denji]] ({{t|Electric}}).
==Elite Four==
The new [[Elite Four]] is located at [[Foento City]]. The Elite trainers are [[Ryō]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Kikuno]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Ōba]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Goyō]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Shirona]].

==New Pokémon==
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number]]''
As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.

The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed.

[[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon]] continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

2006 was crunch time for the Fourth Generation. The ninth movie, ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', featured {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}}, and {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} were soon confirmed to be on the two games' [[:Category:Version mascots|boxart]]. On September 27, all 107 of the new Pokémon's menu icons were revealed on [[Filb.de]].

During the week that followed the games' Japanese release, [[Serebii.net]] featured a "Discovery Trench" that revealed the names and stats of many of the previously-unknown Pokémon to the general public.

'''Pokémon Ranger''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンレンジャー''') is an action-adventure game for the [[Nintendo DS]] developed jointly by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and [[HAL Laboratory, Inc.]]. It was released on Thursday, March 23, 2006 in Japan and on October 30, 2006 in North America. It is also set to release on December 7, 2006 in Australia, and sometime in first quarter 2007 in Europe. The goal of the game is to travel all over the land of [[Fiore]] to capture all the 213 Pokémon that are available using the Nintendo DS touch screen and stylus. Instead of capturing Pokémon in Pokéballs, you use a device called the Capture Styler to add Pokémon to your party. You can only use the Pokémon to help you once, after using them, they then leave your party.

==Poké Assist==

Each Pokémon has its own Pokémon assist. When using this, the Pokémon will jump into your capture styler and give him a extra power.
* '''Grass:''' The capture discs line creates weeds that can immobilize Pokémon for about 3-5 seconds.
* '''Water:''' When the capture disc is held down it will start to form a bubble. The longer it is held down the bigger the bubble will get, to release flick it.
* '''Fire:''' The capture line leaves flames that stun Pokémon and also creates an explosion when a loop is closed.
* '''Fighting:''' Each loop drawn is the equivalent of two.
* '''Ground:''' Earth is churned up, stopping Pokémon in their tracks if they step on it.
* '''Ice:''' When a loop is completed, ice juts up that will freeze a Pokémon who steps on it.
* '''Ghost:''' When a loop is completed, a ghost appears in the center and will try to freeze Pokémon.
* '''Dark:''' At the penalty of some health, the maximum capture line length doubles.
* '''Bug:''' Blobs can be flung by flicking the stylus on the screen that will stop Pokémon.
* '''Psychic:''' Pokémon are levitated in mid-air.
* '''Poison:''' The capture line leaves fog that works like grass or churned earth.
* '''Flying:''' Whirl wind are created in the same manner as the bug assist.
* '''Electric:''' Recharges the styler, with varying amounts depending on which level of the "recharge" field move it is.
* '''Rock:''' Shoots rock shards that immobilize the Pokémon.
* '''Discharge:''' Exclusive to Plusle and Minun, this stuns the pokémon you are trying to capture. Power varies on bars filled. 1 bar makes a thin 3 pointed star, 2 makes a thin x shape, 3 makes a thin 5 pointed star, 4 makes a wide 5 pointed star, and 5 makes a wide asterisk shape.

==Rangers==

===Ringtown===
*'''Spenser and Fearow''': Spenser is the leader of the Ringtown ranger base. He makes the hero a Pokémon Ranger. He was on the same ranger team as Joel, Cameron, and Elita when he was younger. His partner is his [[Fearow]].

*'''Murph and Slowpoke''': Murph is rather slow, but often says funny things. Sometimes he even makes up his own missions. His partner is his [[Slowpoke]].

===Fall City===
*'''Joel and Dodrio''': Joel is the leader of the Fall City ranger base. He and Spenser were once fierce rivals, but they now share a close bond. His partner is his [[Dodrio]].

*'''Aria''': Aria is a little self-absorbed at the beginning, but she starts to respect the hero later on.

*'''Lind''': Not much is known about him.

*'''Keith''': Not much is known abot him.

===Summerland===
*'''Cameron and Pelliper''': Cameron is the leader of the Summerland ranger base. He trains at the sea capture challenge. His partner is his [[Pelipper]].

*'''Percy and Politoed''': Percy's partner Pokémon is stolen by the Go-Rock Squad earlier in the game, and the hero has to rescue it. His partner is his [[Politoed]]. He sees a [[Mew]] in the Ranger Net Mission, 'Find Mew, the Mirage!'

*'''Leilani''': Not much is known about her.

===Wintown===
*'''Elita and Skarmory''': Elita is the leader of the Wintown ranger base. She is known for being as cold as steel. Her partner is her [[Skarmory]].

*'''Chris''': This guy doesn't talk much unless he is in awe.

*'''Freddie''': Not much is known about him.

==Trivia==
*Wintown is the only town/city/land without a capture challenge.

*All of the towns are named after seasons. Ringtown is named after spring, Fall City is named after fall (autumn), Summerland is named after summer, and Wintown is named after winter.
