Set in the beautiful region of Sinnoh - a land of myths and stories about the legendary Pokemon - players begin by assuming the role of a “Pokemon Trainer' who sets off from the town of Twinleaf. Players will meet the Pokemon-mad Professor Rowan, who asks them to join him in his mission to document all the species of Pokemon that exist using a special tool “ the Pokedex. Players must leave Twinleaf and travel all around Sinnoh to complete this mission, whilst trying to reach their ultimate goal of becoming the Pokemon League champion. This can only be achieved when eight Pokemon Gym Leaders have been defeated. But players need to keep their wits about them, as on their journey they will encounter the shady Pokemon thieves, Team Galactic, and become embroiled in their wrong doings!

True to tradition, collecting and battling Pokemon play a key role in these games and by making full use of the touch screen, the battling system is even easier and quicker to use.

The immense depth of Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl is revealed in several new features including the Pokemon Super Contest and the Underground World. The Super Contests take place in the Pokemon Contest Hall, where trainers can enter their Pokemon in to a competition consisting of three trials: Visual (dressing up), Dance (a rhythm game) and Acting (Pokemon perform battle moves to the judges).
