* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to {{wp|Internet meme}}s and {{wp|chatspeak}}. The lead translator, [[Nob Ogasawara]], is a recent member of the {{wp|Something Awful|Something Awful Forums}}, hence all the net lingo. There are also multiple references to the Something Awful website and community scattered throughout the game, such as one Pokémon trainer announcing "[[wp:My Tank is Fight|My Pokémon is Fight!]]". "Noob" is also used several times, "Owned" is said by a [[Team Galactic|Galactic]] grunt and [[Buck]], and ROFL is available as a speech option. Also, in the {{player}}'s first encounter with Team Galactic, they tell [[Professor Rowan]] to "hand over his research so that they would refrain from causing [[wp:Giant Enemy Crab|massive damage]] to his assistant". The receptionist in the [[Team Galactic HQ]] and a [[Fisherman]] on [[Route 212]] use the phrase "For the Win". Perhaps coincidentally, [[Twinleaf Town]] shares its Japanese name with that of the original *chan imageboard, [[wp:Futaba Channel|2chan]]. | * Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to {{wp|Internet meme}}s and {{wp|chatspeak}}.

* Diamond and Pearl (and also {{v2|Platinum}}) are also the first main series Pokémon games not to have their storage media colored, and the first games in which the lab of the region's [[Pokémon Professor]] is not in the player's hometown. | * Diamond and Pearl (and also {{v2|Platinum}}) are also the first main series Pokémon games not to have their storage media colored, and the first games in which the lab of the region's [[Pokémon Professor]] is not in the player's hometown. | ||
* The Sinnoh region's starters are the first [[starter Pokémon]] which all gain a second type through evolution. Previously, two of Hoenn's starters had two types in their final forms, as did two of Kanto's, though one of Kanto's three had two types to begin with. | * The Sinnoh region's starters are the first [[starter Pokémon]] which all gain a second type through evolution.

This contrasts with Johto's starter Pokémon, which always have only one type. | ||
* Diamond and Pearl are the first games where it is safe to trade between English and Japanese versions. An example is this is shown by the fact that Japanese Pokémon from the GTS do not harm foreign language versions, and in fact, several actually add their own foreign Pokédex entry when traded. | * Diamond and Pearl are the first games where it is safe to trade between English and Japanese versions.

* The leaders and [[Elite_Four#Sinnoh_Elite_Four|Elite Four]] of Sinnoh don't always use Pokémon of their specialized type, mainly focusing on the use of moves that are of that type. However, this may have been due to a lack of varied types in the Sinnoh Pokédex. This problem was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}} with an extension added to the Pokédex. | * The leaders and [[Elite_Four#Sinnoh_Elite_Four|Elite Four]] of Sinnoh don't always use Pokémon of their specialized type, mainly focusing on the use of moves that are of that type.
