The others create a time-wasting sequence before you can hit targets again. There are up to 6 targets, but only 3 of them have items in them you need to evolve a Pokémon. Once you select a Pokémon, you must hit targets on the playfield. This is the only way to add the evolved form to your Pokédex. 'Evolution Mode,' when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you select a captured Pokémon (from the current game in progress only) and attempt to evolve it into another form. Once the image is complete, the Pokémon appears on the table, where it must be hit 4 times with the ball to capture it. Each hit unlocks 1/6 of an image of the Pokémon currently up for capture. Once you activate 'catch mode,' you must hit the pop bumpers 6 times. 'Catch Mode,' when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you can attempt to capture a Pokémon. After that, each table has its own mechanism for advancing to the next location, including the locations not available at the start of the game.

A subset of available locations are displayed slot-machine style in the beginning of a game, and pressing A will select your starting location and launch the first ball into play. Each table has its own details and gameplay elements.Įach table has different 'locations' that you play, which determine which Pokémon are available for capture. There are two tables in the game, red and blue. The games are independent of each other but feature largely the same plot and while both can be played separately, it is necessary to trade between them in order to complete the games' Pokédexes. The games add many new features, such as Internet play over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and changes to battle mechanics and Pokémon Contests, along with addition of 107 new Pokémon. Like previous Pokémon games, Diamond and Pearl chronicle the adventures of a young Pokémon trainer as he/she trains and battles Pokémon while also thwarting the schemes of a criminal organization. First released in Japan on September 28, 2006, the games were later released to North America, Australia, and Europe over the course of 2007. With the enhanced remake Pokémon Platinum, the games comprise the fifth installment and fourth generation of the Pokémon series of RPGs. Pokémon Diamond Version and Pearl Version are role-playing games (RPGs) developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS.
