Pokémon Pearl

This product is also called Pocket Monsters Pearl in Japan.

Background

In the new Pokemon Adventure, there are two mythical Pokemon, which are often the center of attention. They are Palkia and Dialga. The evil Team Galactic is trying to catch them and take over the whole Shinouh region! Your goal is to stop them. At the same time, you can also catch all the Pokemon and become a Pokemon Master!

Gameplay

In Pokemon Pearl, you are a person who goes out on a "Pokemon Adventure" to catch all Pokemon and defeat the Elite Four. But before doing any of this, you must get your starter Pokemon. You will meet many trainers eager to battle you, and even tougher Gym Leaders. The Elite Four and Champion are the hardest trainers in the game. Eventually you will be able to go on WiFi and battle and trade with others. But don't forget your Gameboy Advanced Games. You can still trade with them, only you can't trade any Pokemon back to them. E.G: If you trade a Charmander to Pearl from Fire Red, you can't trade it back to Fire Red.
