Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Hints VI (DS)

Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, or Pocket Monsters Diamond/Pearl, as it is known in Japan, is a role-playing game franchise developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo exclusively for its hugely-popular Nintendo DS handheld gaming console. Of the Pokemon RPG series, Pokemon Platinum has also been recently released. Based on the world famous Pokemon anime series, it was first launched in its native Japan on September 28, 2006, and reached North American and European shores on April 22, and July 27, 2007, respectively.

Both Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl are set in the fictional world of Sinnoh, which is the habitat of 493 different species of Pokemons, a special type of animals that possess different kinds of powers that can be used in the fight against their enemies. As all Pokemon stories, this title documents the journey of a young trainer who needs to raise and battle Pokemons, all of this while investigating a criminal organization that wants to hurt the creatures.

Features such as Internet play, via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, or changes to the gameplay and battle mechanics are also present in the title, which aims at giving a fresh new experience to Pokemon fans all across the world. Older concepts such as Pokemon contests are also introduced, in order to bring back the old fans of the anime series and older video games.

The game has received positive reviews, with critics praising the Wi-Fi features, which enable players to engage in some interesting battles, and the gameplay that, although being based on almost the same principles as older titles, has managed to offer an entertaining experience. Sales have been very good, with the game shipping around 15 million units worldwide, thanks to the big number of Pokemon fans out there.

Dialga part 2
– Once you get to Spear Pillar, the difficult part is the battle with the boss, Cyrus. However, if you have an electric Pokemon and your starter, it should be fairly easy. Should your starter be a Grotle, train it to level 46 or 47 before you go to Mount Coronet. Make sure that it knows the Earthquake move. Save the game before you go up after talking to Professor Rowan. When you start the battle with Dialga, use a Quick Ball. If that does not catch it, use Earthquake. Should you knock it out with a critical hit, turn off the game and try again. It will now be very easy to snatch your prize with an Ultra Ball.
– Atop Mt. Coronet, after battling the Team Galaxy grunts, admin and Team Galaxy Boss, Dialga will have been awakened. Once the legendary trio appear, Dialga's power will be quelled, but you are capable of fighting it. This is immediately after the fight with the Team Galaxy Boss, so you will not have time to heal. It is at level 47.
