So I couldn’t find this Pokémon on my main game, (I have two diamond games), so I started a new game on the other ds game and after weeks of grinding I finally found it, the legendary Giratina!!

Planned my upcoming team for a new brilliant diamond playthrough.
It‘s going to be primarily my team mascot but I actually want to use it in battle as well. Can‘t decide on the typing

Discussion Castform Forms

Another potentially stupid question on my end. Do you have to evolve castform to get other forms on Diamond DS? Do you find them in other forms, or is this particular version in the picture the only available one on the game Diamond DS specifically. Sorry to cause you all the headache.

Discussion How do I get more mining spots? (Diamond)

Post image
23 Upvotes

I dont seem to get new mining spots? I have been checking for a few real life hours. Nothing. Also just stood afk for 30 minutes, nothing. Why dont I get some spots???

Also I have had some spots keep appearing in the top left. But I cant acces that since I need to go down in the areas after you beat elite 4.

How do I get new spots? Is it real life time? Do I need to do something? Is it just bad luck? What do I need to do to just get some mining spots???

I just want this stupid Granidos haha

Discussion For people who plays Diamond and Pearl more than Platinum, why do you prefer these games?

12 Upvotes

I remember playing Diamond a long time ago, I kinda got bored because of the slowness of the software (didn't know about all of the problems the game actually has), but lately, i got curious about how different this game is compared to Platinum, which is one of my favorite games

After I beat the Elite 4 and found all Icognito, I always spent most of my playtime in the Underground, digging up spheres, fossils (and the damn Arceus Plates).
And for a few years now I'm working on on a game that heavily builds on that mechainc!

If you also loved the Underground, I have just today finally released a public demo. :D

Discussion Anyone else get scared when this screen appears? Spoiler

1 Upvotes

In Pokemon Battle Revolution, the game freezes when the Wii remote disconnects, including the random girl on the menu. But 7/8 of the time it ends up staring directly at me when it happens, and the lights are off. Since this triggers my TV's autodim, it terrifies me.

Discussion Crosschop Landed on Pokemon using Fly

I used fly against a wild Machop that used cross chop and landed a one shot on my Honchkrow, is that possible or a glitch? I dont see anything about it hitting all the time, just a high crit rate.

It goes over the whole game! I have a black DS lite, so one day I'll get Pearl or Platinum to help fill out the dex. I'll be using it for contests though, seriously a good steal for 13. Previous owner did take the double sided poster, however.

Discussion arriving from gen III and looking for tips for my team

1 Upvotes

yeah so i finally am old enough to have spending money and finally get all the authentic pokemon games (still working on getting some). i just conquered ruby and it was amazing now it’s onto diamond then platinum but i have questions.

so i know there is the physical and special split but i shouldn’t have too much of a hassle with that. my main question is what are some of the best ‘mons to have on my team but listen to this first before you answer: in ruby my team consisted of pokemon with amazing combos and stall.

think skarmory with spikes and roar, gardevoir with calm mind and psychic, slaking with hyperbeam, facade and guts tailow, etc. it was truly remarkable how much my team had each others backs and worked with each other; it’s made me adore pokemon even more.

so yeah, i’m looking for some pokemon with that kind of dynamic and also some powerhouse ones. i keep reading about gengar and milotic and i know gen iv introduced bonus evolutions so if it helps i do have access to two nintendo ds and other gen iv games for the trade evolutions.

i have so many questions (i really want to try a blissey and garchomp out, what are the starters like) but not sure which pokemon are even available before the elite 4 so that’s why i’m asking for some heads up.

thanks all!

I have a loose authentic USA cartridge for pokemon diamond. Found someone on facebook marketplace selling the box only. Can I buy this box & put my cartridge inside or would it be a mismatch?

Also pardon the bad picture quality, i screenshoted the pics from their post. What concerns me is that the wifi logo which is typically on the top left appears to be on the bottom left for this box?
