+:''This section is about general development info. For development leftovers and unused content, see [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta]].
+{{incomplete|section|Wikipedia has nifty info from official sources. Post it and cite it here}}
+===Sprites===
+{{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, and {{p|Scizor}} all have had prototype sprites from various pre-release pictures and videos, but these sprites have not been found within the data of the final release. Munchlax's sprite seems to be a duplicate from the Munchlax sprite in [[Pokémon Dash]]. The Cherrim prototype sprite was shown in an early Japanese commercial. It was surprisingly like the final sprite, only with the left leg up instead. [[Pokémon.com]] published prototype sprites during their run up to the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Scizor's sprite, as shown on one of the prototype screenshots, depicted the same pose as its final sprite, albeit considerably larger, and using its color palette from the [[Generation III]] games rather than the darker palette from the final sprite.
+There are also leftover sprites of both the {{ga|Barry|rival}} and [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Galactic Grunt|Grunts}}. Despite the fact that the [[Ken Sugimori]] artworks didn't change for the final release, the overworld sprites were different. The rival's sprite featured a slightly different hair style while the Team Galactic Grunts had darker blue hair, somewhat similar in color to [[Saturn]]'s hair.

+===Maps===
+Official pre-release screenshots depicted different designs of certain maps. Two screenshots are of [[Jubilife City]] and show the [[Pokémon Center]] and the [[Poké Mart]] in different spots than the final release. Another screenshot depicted {{rt|219|Sinnoh}} with an unfinished look for water, sand and rocks. The last screenshots belongs to {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}, where some early {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be seen.

+===Camera===
+[[File:Building beta.png|right|thumb|[[Pokétch Company]] building in [[Jubilife City]], demonstrating the 3D perspective inside buildings.]]
+Unlike in the final release, which forces a parallel perspective inside most buildings, the three-dimensional perspective view used in the overworld was initially apparently intended for use in all buildings. Several objects inside of the buildings themselves, through modification of the game's engine camera to force it into its perspective view, have been revealed to actually be fully 3D models, such as tables.
+In {{game|Platinum}}, buildings that are intended to be viewed in the forced perspective camera lack side walls, only having the back one, while buildings whose interior design is carried over from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl have side walls fully modeled, such as inside of [[Pokémon Center]]s. This modeling of the side walls actually causes a graphical glitch, due to sprites being seen to pass through the walls on their edges, as well as on their shadows.

+===Pokétch===
+[[File:BetaPoketch.png|right|thumb|Earlier design for the [[Pokétch]].]]
+In multiple pre-release screenshots, an early design for the [[Pokétch]] was shown. It had a smaller app changing button and more of the device on-screen. Also, the ''Digital Clock'' application was shown without a {{p|Pikachu}} at the bottom-left corner of the screen.

 ==Trivia==
 * ''Pokémon Diamond'' is also the name of the famous bootleg of the Power Version of {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}, which was only released in Japan (along a Speed Version) a year after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Unlike the real Pokémon Diamond, it was not paired with "Pokémon Pearl" but rather with ''Pokémon Jade'', the bootleg of Telefang's Speed Version.
