Rating: 4.1/5
Diamond and Pearl are the first games where: (1)The rival's starter Pokémon is not at level 5 during the first rival battle. (2)The cartidge uses the standard grey color that Nintendo has packed most of their games in since the release of the NES. Indeed, it appears only Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum will use this color, as the subsequent games utilize black cartridges for their shiny labels, and cartridges for the Nintendo 3DS are cast in a lighter grey plastic. (3)The lab of the region's Pokémon Professor is not in the player's hometown.
