What are the differences between Diamond and Pearl?
 
Hey there,
I'm a total newbie and only own the Ruby version. I want to buy a DS along with a new pokemon game. What are ALL the differences between the new Pearl and Diamond versions? Also, what is the difference between the new games and the old Pokemon Ruby?

I apologize if this is already posted somewhere else. If that's the case, please just respond with a link. thanks!

There is different pokemon.

Some pokemon can only be caught on diamond, Some only can be caught on pearl.

Thats the only real difference.

Yeah, I just read this long article on wikipedia about both games. I feel stupid now.

Differences between 3rd Gen
- 107 new Pokemon (493 total)
- Sinnoh Region instead of Hoenn
- There is a 3D look to the game. (Not like Colosseum or XD, but still 3D)
- New Items/Attacks
- WIFI

Differences between Diamond and Pearl:
- Exclusive Pokemon, go here for a list.
- Somewhat different scenario (You get Dialga in Diamond, Palkia in Pearl, and some other minor differences.)
- Different statue in Eterna City.

So it really just depends on which version you think has better Pokemon, and that is all a matter of opinion. I got Diamond, btw.

He never asked for the difference between the 3rd gen and the others.

He asked for the difference between diamond and pearl.
