Summary:
Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl are a pair of RPGs in the Pokémon franchise (each game released has two versions, e.g. Red and Blue, Ruby and Sapphire). The games were released for the Nintendo DS on September 29, 2006 in Japan, April 22, 2007 in North America, June 21, 2007 in Australia, and July 27, 2007 in Europe. The games were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. Pokémon Platinum, the third in the Diamond/Pearl trio, was released later (this was also done with other games, e.g. Emerald, Crystal). Diamond/Pearl are in the fourth generation of the Pokémon franchise.
The game takes place in the region of Sinnoh. The game adds more Pokémon, bringing the total to 493 different species of Pokémon. Diamond and Pearl both have exclusive Pokémon species, but the species can be traded to the other version (as well as imported from previous Pokémon games). In addition to this, there are many more new features, such as Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection capabilities, a new watch called the Pokétch, and changes in battle mechanics.
An anime based on Diamond/Pearl was aired on Cartoon Network, as well as three films. A total of 110 episodes have been aired in North America, with more based off of Pokémon Platinum due to be aired. The three films are similar in style to the TV show, having the same characters, but not a story arc as in the show. The three films are The Rise of Darkrai, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, and Arceus To the Conquering of Space-Time (only released in Japan).
Black and White are the fifth generational entries in the Pokémon series, the first new generation to launch since the release of Diamond and Pearl in 2007. The developers of Black/White made extensive changes to the core game play design and presentation; changes much more immediately apparent than in any previous shift to a new generation. Unlike the Pokémon trainers in prior games, the male and female protagonists are adolescents, and both will play a prominent role in the story, regardless of whom is selected at the beginning of the game.
Black/White was released in Japan to critical acclaim, earning the fourteenth perfect score from Famitsu. It was also the most pre-ordered game in Japanese history. It was released in Europe on March 4, 2011, and in the US two days later (March 6). This was the highest-selling Pokémon game on launch day of all time, selling 1.1 million in one day. As of March 31 2016, it has sold 15.60 million copies worldwide.
