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. HINTS
POKEMONS Mesprit – After battling and quelling Dialga or Palkia, the three legendary Pokemons will be scattered around Sinnoh. Positioned in Lake Veity is the Pink Pokemon in the trio, Mesprit. Once you go to battle it, it runs off. This time, its location is not registered in your Pokedex, but rather in the map in you Poktch. It will appear randomly in the grass. It is at level. 50. – This trick to capture Mesperit requires a Staraptor level 55 with Aerial Ace, but the Quick attack may work. Walk or swim your way to Mesperit, but do not fly. Save the game once you are close and also have Staraptor out. Use your Staraptor's Aerial Ace to hit the Mesperit and, if it does not, level up solely by battling Magikarp. Do this a few times and, if Mesperit dies, turn off the game and try again. Once you have finally worked its health to the red bar zone, every time you see it try one of these: Quick Ball, Great Ball, Dusk ball (If in a cave and/or at night), or a Nest Ball. Alternately, use a Master Ball.
