Revision as of 09:10, 17 December 2006
Generation IV Pokémon games will consist of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl on Nintendo DS, and Pokémon Battle Revolution on the Wii. Diamond and Pearl take place in Sinnoh, while Battle Revolution's setting is PokéTopia.
Advances in gameplay
This generation, following complaints about Generation III's incompatibility with the previous two generations, finally will remedy this somewhat, being compatible with the GBA games of that generation, and allowing players to transfer up to six Pokémon per cartrige ahead to Sinnoh every day. Additional advances are as follows:
- Day/Night system returns from Generation II, with new time periods, evening and late night.
- More Natures are added to the total from the previous generation.
- Another new villain, Team Galaxy.
- Wi-Fi battling and trading over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
- More Abilities from the previous generation.
- An actual 3D rendering of the overworld, as opposed to only sprites.
- More Pokémon with more type combinations, bringing the present total to 493.
- New versions of Contests, with more rounds.
Sinnoh starters
Though it was previously rumored that the Grass-type/Fire-type/Water-type trio would be replaced instead with a Template:Type2/Template:Type2/Template:Type2 trio, these proved to be false, and Diamond and Pearl's staters will be the Template:Type2 Naetle, the Template:Type2 Hikozaru, and the Template:Type2 Pochama.
