To unlock Pal Park, the player needs to have [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|seen all]] [[Pokémon]] in Sinnoh's [[regional Pokédex]] except for {{p|Manaphy}} and then show their accomplishment to [[Professor Rowan]] in his lab. After this has been done, [[Professor Oak]] himself will show up to both upgrade the Pokédex to [[National Dex|National mode]] and to invite the player to come to Pal Park. | To unlock Pal Park, the {{player}} needs to have [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|seen all]] [[Pokémon]] in Sinnoh's [[regional Pokédex]] except for {{p|Manaphy}} and then show their accomplishment to [[Professor Rowan]] in his lab.

Pal Park allows people | Pal Park allows people who have both the [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}} to transfer [[Pokémon]] ahead via the [[Nintendo DS]]'s [[Game Boy Advance]] slot. However, only six Pokémon can be transferred in one 24 hour period per GBA cartridge, and no Pokémon can be transferred until the previous six Pokémon have been caught. Using this, as opposed to other methods of getting previous generations' Pokémon, allows not only that other regions' [[starter Pokémon]] can be used by players of Diamond and Pearl, but also provides a way for players to take the Pokémon that they had raised in Generation III to the next level. There are also some [[List of items unobtainable in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|items]] that can only be obtained in Generation IV through Pal Park. | ||

This is, of course, that the Pokémon moving from Generation III to Generation IV know no [[HM]] moves from Generation III. However, these moves can be deleted before transfer anyway, by visiting [[Lilycove City]] or [[Fuchsia City]]. | ||
After Pokémon have been imported from the GBA game in the bottom slot of the DS through the main menu of the Diamond or Pearl game, they may be captured in Pal Park through an event known as a Catching Show. Each Pokémon has a specific area of the park that they reside in, and therefore, they must also be found before they can be received. Pal Park uses a special type of [[Poké Ball]] that is colored gold and silver, which has a 100% capture rate, much like the Master Ball. | After Pokémon have been imported from the GBA game in the bottom slot of the DS through the main menu of the Diamond or Pearl game, they may be captured in Pal Park through an event known as a Catching Show.

* The Park Ball has a gold-colored top half, a silver-colored bottom half, and a crystal-colored stripe around the center. This may possibly be hinting at a [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|remake of Pokémon Gold and Silver]], due to the fact that the [[GS Ball]] has the same colors. | * The Park Ball has a gold-colored top half, a silver-colored bottom half, and a crystal-colored stripe around the center.

* If the player uses a walk through walls cheat, they can access an area behind the Pal Park building. It is identical to the first few tiles seen when entering Pal Park to perform in a catching show. The only Pokémon that will appear are those which appear in [[Route 221]], where the Pal Park is situated. | * If the player uses a walk through walls cheat, they can access an area behind the Pal Park building.
