==Plot== | |||
When the game begins, the player is watching a [[television|newscast]] about [[Professor Rowan]]'s return to Sinnoh. Just then, the player's best friend Barry runs in, and the two head for Route 201 to get a Pokemon from Rowan. However, [[Professor Rowan]] and his assistant ({{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}, depending on the player's [[gender]]) see them. After scolding them for endangering themselves, the player and Barry are given a choice between [[Turtwig]], [[Piplup]], or [[Chimchar]]. After choosing, Barry, who later becomes the rival, challenges the player to a battle, having picked the Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's choice. After the battle, the two head to [[Lake Verity]], where they meet [[Cyrus]]. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her a pair of [[Running Shoes]] before the player leaves for [[Sandgem Town]]. The professor gives the player the a [[Pokédex]] and the player then sets off to explore Sinnoh and defeat [[Gym Leader]]s in order to advance further in the plot, challenge the [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Sinnoh. | |||
During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and its leader, Cyrus. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, summoned by Cyrus, begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appear and {{p|Giratina}} drags Cyrus down into the [[Distortion World]]. After facing of against Cyrus, the player is then forced into a battle with the Giratina. | |||
After the player defeats the Elite Four, there are further activities to pursue. These mainly concern the capture of previously unavailable Pokémon, extra features such as the Poké Radar, exploration of previously inaccessible places such as the [[Fight Area|Fight]], [[Survival Area|Survival]], and [[Resort Area]]s and the perfection of battle skills in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}}. At the survival Zone, the player will help Looker finish off Team Galactic by arresting [[Charon]]. | |||
