Sinnoh: Difference between revisions

(→‎History: What does random speculation on Mew have to do with Sinnoh's history? I can tell the writing of this hasn't been properly updated in a loooong time. DP and Pt information should likely be split or more accurately mentioned.)

Later on came the events of [[Floaroma Town]]. According to the townspeople, Floaroma Town was once a barren and desolate hill. People started planting flowers around it to cheer up the place, but nothing would grow. Then, someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature, and the whole hill burst into bloom. It is theorized that {{p|Shaymin}} was the cause of the sudden burst of flowers, given it being the Gratitude Pokémon, and its ability to "instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers," according to its [[Pokédex]] entry.

In contemporary history, the {{player}} (who is either {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}) and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon, like the recently reported [[red Gyarados]], in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. After receiving one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to call their own, their journey begins in earnest, and both the player and Barry challenge the Sinnoh region's eight [[Gym]]s to gain the Badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, the player is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/4|Pt}}{{sup/8|BD}} and {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/4|Pt}}{{sup/8|SP}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/8|BD}}, {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/8|SP}}, or {{p|Giratina}}{{sup/4|Pt}}, the player challenges Sinnoh's [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Cynthia]], and takes her title. In {{game|Platinum}} only, Cyrus accidentally opened a portal to the [[Distortion World]] above [[Mount Coronet]] while trying to create a new world for himself. The portal atop Mount Coronet was able to be closed, but a passageway to this strange dimension still remains in the [[Turnback Cave|depths]] of [[Sendoff Spring]].{{fact}}<!--Are the two portals actually connected?-->

The {{player}} character and their [[friend]] [[Barry]], leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon similar to that of the [[Red Gyarados]] in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. At the lake they encounter [[Professor Rowan]] and their [[Professor's assistant]], {{ga|Dawn}} or {{ga|Lucas}} who end up leaving their briefcase in the grass. The player and Barry get attacked by a group of [[wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Starly}} and open the briefcase left behind, giving them access to their [[starter Pokémon]]. Barry and the player return to Twinleaf Town and set out the next day to return the Pokémon that they had borrowed to Professor Rowan who lives in the neighboring [[Sandgem Town]]. Professor Rowan gives them not only a [[Pokédex]] but also the Pokémon they had borrowed, allowing the two, and Dawn/Lucas to set out on a journey across Sinnoh. The player and their friend, now [[rival]], take on the Sinnoh's eight [[Gym]]s in attempt to become the {{pkmn|champion}}. Along the way, the player comes across the [[villainous team|villainous]] [[Team Galactic]], who pursues to steal Pokémon and resources in order to complete [[Cyrus]]'s goal of creating a new world in his image. In multiple conflicts with the organization and obtaining their seventh gym badge, the player defeats [[Saturn]] in [[Veilstone City]] who has captured the [[Lake guardians]] and created a [[Red Chain]]. They follow Cyrus up to the peak of [[Mount Coronet]] where the [[Spear Pillar]] lies. Cyrus summons the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/8|BD}} or {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/8|SP}}, who can distort time and space respectively, allowing him to recreate the world via usage of the Red Chain that Saturn had made in Veilstone. The player and Barry defeat the evil organization, with most of the group disbanding after Cyrus leaves. The player then leaves for [[Sunyshore City]] and eventually the [[Pokémon Leagye (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]] where they defeat [[Cynthia]] and claim the title of champion.


After becoming the Champion of Sinnoh, the player is contacted by Barry, who they join in taking a ship to the [[Battle Zone]], which is home to the {{si|Battle Park}}{{sup/4|DP}}{{sup/8|BDSP}}/{{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}{{sup/4|Pt}}. The player explores the island, and the [[Stark Mountain]], where they eventually meet and capture {{p|Heatran}}. In Platinum, they also aid [[Looker]] in stopping [[Charon]], who was here in an attempt to reform Team Galactic and attempted to use Heatran's power to send Stark Mountain into an eruption, alongside the reluctant [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] who defect from the team without Cyrus. Looker then proceeds to arrest Charon and put an end to Team Galactic once and for all.
After finding every Pokémon in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex and becoming champion, the player is contacted by Barry who they go with on a ship to the [[Battle Zone]], home of the {{si|Battle Park}}. On this island, they explore the volcanic [[Stark Mountain]] after some Team Galactic members attempt to take the [[Magma Stone]]. With the help of [[Buck]], they defeat the villains once again and bring peace to the location.
 
;{{g|Platinum}}
Platinum's contemporary history is slightly different from that of Diamond and Pearl.
 
The {{player}} character and their [[friend]] [[Barry]], leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in order to find some wild Pokémon. At [[Route 201]] they are stopped by [[Professor Rowan]] and their [[Professor's assistant]], {{ga|Dawn}} or {{ga|Lucas}} who provides them with their [[starter Pokémon]]. They go to Sandgem Town in order to learn more about Pokémon and taking a journey across Sinnoh, but not stop back home first and tell their [[Johanna|mother]] about the road ahead. At [[Lake Verity]] the player meets [[Cyrus]]. The player and their friend, now [[rival]], take on the Sinnoh's eight [[Gym]]s in attempt to become the {{pkmn|champion}}. Over the course of their journey they meet Sinnoh's current champion, [[Cynthia]], and a member of the [[International Police]], [[Looker]], who become helpful allies against the [[villainous team|villainous]] [[Team Galactic]], a group  oddly dressed people who pursue the stealing of Pokémon and resources in order to complete Cyrus's goal of creating a new world in his image. In multiple conflicts with the organization and obtaining their seventh gym badge, the player defeats [[Saturn]] in [[Veilstone City]], who has captured the [[Lake guardians]] and created a [[Red Chain]]. They follow Cyrus up to the peak of [[Mount Coronet]] where the [[Spear Pillar]] lies. The player, Barry and Cynthia all cooperate to help defeat [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] only for Cyrus to succeed in summoning both Dialga and Palkia with usage of the Red Chain, bending and warping the world to his desires. The three lake guardians and {{p|Giratina}} suddenly appear and pull Cyrus into the [[Distortion World]], Giratina's world. The player and Cynthia follow into the portal and stop Cyrus from attempting to cause further harm. Cyrus disappears after defeat, with most of the group disbanding. The player then leaves for [[Sunyshore City]] and eventually the [[Pokémon Leagye (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]] where they defeat Cynthia and claim the title of champion.
