Game Description

Product Description

Three all-new Pokmon are yours to choose from - Fire-type Chimchar, Water-type Piplup, and Grass-type Turtwig. You won't be able to catch these Pokmon in the wild. To catch every Pokmon, you'll have to trade with other Trainers to get the two Pokmon you didn't select.Once you connect with friends over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you'll be able to use the Nintendo DS microphone to speak to them directly! You may also use the voice chat during trades and battles if the host of the session enables that option.When Pokmon Gold and Silver introduced a real-time clock, Pokmon fans absolutely loved it. It seemed destined to become a staple of Pokmon games, but when Ruby and Sapphire came around, the feature disappeared. Pokmon Diamond and Pokmon Pearl reintroduce this system in a major way.There are still some Pokmon that look the same in both genders, some that can only be male or female, and some (particularly the Legendaries) that don't have a gender at all.

Pokemon Pearl is a traditional Pokemon RPG that takes place in a region called Sinnoh.

In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon's myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region by utilizing these two Pokemon's power. During your adventure to complete your Pokedex and become the Champion, these two Pokemon, and Team Galaxy, will intertwine into the story and lead you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.

When you set off on your travels, you'll be able to play as either a boy or girl Trainer. You will also utilize the DS's dual slots to transfer Pokemon from the GBA Pokemon games and be able to link up with Pokemon Ranger to access more special content. Pokemon fans have caught glimpses of Mime Jr., Lucario, Munchlax and Weavile in Pokemon movies, and these Pokemon will be debuting in this adventure.
