[[My Pokémon Ranch]] lets players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} deposit their Pokémon, via wireless communication, to a ranch owned by [[Hayley]], who will also bring Pokémon to the ranch. Players can interact with up to 1,000 of their deposited Pokémon.

==Discussion of Generation IV== | |||
===Sinnoh thematic motif=== | |||
The theme of this generation is history of the universe and myths and legends. The three starters evolutions have more references to myths and legends, for example Torterra is based on the legend of world turtle, Empoleon has references to the god Poseidon and Infernape is based on Sun Wukong. This also reflects on its legendary Pokémon as Arceus is the literal creator of the universe and created the rulers of time, space and anti-matter who are Dialga, Palkia and Giratina respectively. All three of them are involved in Sinnoh myths as are Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit the embodiments of knowledge, willpower and emotions. | |||
Some standard Pokémon are also connected to myths and legends, such as Drifloon and Drifblim that in folklore are said to rake children or people to the spirit world or Spiritomb who is said to be made up of 108 spirits. | |||
Some towns still preserve their history and myths, an example is Celestic Town, which is said to be there since the beginning of Sinnoh and has a shrine that dates back to ancient times as well as its cave painting. Some other examples are the Solaceon Ruins, which contains Unown and is said to be as old as the ruins of Johto, the Snowpoint Temple, which was created long ago to contain Regigigas, Eterna City, which contains a statue of Dialga/Palkia, Floaroma Town, which was said to be a wasteland long ago but then was transformed into a beautiful landscape by Shaymin, Mt. Coronet and Spear Pillar, and Canalave City, whose library contains many books about the many Sinnoh myths. Sinnoh was meant to establish the origin of the Pokémon universe and be more mysterious and historic than other generations. | |||
