Project history
[edit]
Early details
The games were officially announced on October 7, 2004, though further details were not divulged. In the preceeding months, however, information began to trickle out via the pages of Japanese manga magazine CoroCoro Comic. Initial details unveiled basic information regarding several new Pokémon debuting within the games, such as Munchlax, a pre-evolution of Snorlax, Bonsly, pre-evolution to Sudowoodo and Lucario and Manaphy, the two new legendary Pokémon. In July 2005, new gameplay details were announced, among them were: [1]
The female protagonist walks past a Pokémon Center.Diamond and Pearl would feature compatiblity with the Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs (A later revelation stated that this compatibility is unlocked through completing a certain task within the game, though the nature of this task is currently unknown).
Diamond and Pearl would be set in an all new land (later revealed as Shinou).
The games feature no new types, though previously unseen type combinations would be used. Lucario, the first Steel/Fighting-type, and Perap, the first pure Flying-type, are early examples of this.
The DS' native support for Wi-Fi up to 16 simultaneous players would be employed. At a later press conference, Nintendo disclosed that Diamond and Pearl would have voice chat capabilities to communicate during battles as well as Wi-Fi connectivity to the upcoming Wii Pokémon title, Pokémon Battle Revolution.[2]

New revelations
The male protagonist's weight is compared to that of Buoysel, using the Pokédex's new feature.On May 11, 2006, CoroCoro provided fans with their first glimpse of the game through screenshots in an article. The spread showcased Diamond and Pearl's battle system and utilization of more complex and detailed sprites, as well as the overworld, which mixes 2D and 3D elements in a brightly colored, chibi style. Moreover, new information regarding the games accompanied the visual display, including the official name of the aforementioned new region, Shinou, in addition to the announcement that the starting town would be called Futaba Town.[3] On June 13, 2006, CoroCoro provided further screenshots and details regarding features implemented within the game alongside several new Pokémon moves. Several previously undisclosed gameplay mechanics were discussed:[4]
The resident professor of Futaba Town is named Professor Nanakamado.
Aesthetic differences between male and female Pokémon of a given species will be implemented, including aspects such as differently sized or absent distinctive physical features. In the example given by CoroCoro, a female Wooper has a smaller antennae than its male counterpart.
The Pokédex now has a weight comparison feature that allows the player to input their own height and weight to be compared to that of a Pokémon.
The day-and-night system, originally introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver will return in Diamond and Pearl; its scale has grown substantially, featuring the time periods of morning, daytime, afternoon, evening and night.
A completely new device known as the Pokétchi can be obtained and will play host to a variety of features, including a time management system, a calculator, a method for monitoring Pokémon in the breeding center, and a type chart.
