In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the Journal records limited notes on the player's daily gameplay activities, and can be viewed from the Bag. It records a maximum of 10 entries sequentially, and a new entry is recorded when the game is loaded with a date different from the most recent journal entry, deleting the oldest entry if 10 already exist. It is brought up automatically upon loading a save if the current date does not match the date of the last save, or the day after, and does not create a new entry until it is closed. A quirk of the Journal is that if the day changes as the player is playing, the entry for the day the player loaded the file in will continue to update with the player's actions until the game is restarted and reloaded.
