Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contest]]s and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in. | Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls when entering most buildings.
