Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 1: Difference between revisions

==In the Beginning......==

When you first turn on the game, [[Professor Rowan]] introduces himself and says to just call him "the Pokémon Professor". He then asks if this is your first adventure and is willing to give advice as needed such as the basic control and adventure information. Then, he asks you to touch the button in the middle of the [[Poké Ball]] that appears on your DS' touch screen. A {{p|Munchlax}} then appears from the Poké Ball and Rowan goes on to speak about the human relationship alongside Pokémon as friends. He then states that his job as a professor is to conduct research on these Pokémon.  

You are then asked if you are a boy or a girl, so choose wisely as you will be unable to change your gender once you have started your adventure. You then must choose a name, which will also stay with you for the remainder of the game. You are than asked what {{ga|Barry|your friend's}} name is. He will be your rival. His official name is Barry, so from now on, he is referred as "Barry" in this walkthrough.
