Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 24

Back at Home -- Twinleaf Town

Congratulations! You have become the Champion and advanced to the After Game storyline.

You'll start in your room at home, in Twinleaf Town, just like the start of your game. (Every time you beat the Pokémon League, you'll start here again.)

Check your Trainer Card. You'll find that a star is added and the colour of your Card changed. Turn to your back and you'll find the record "Hall Of Fame Debut".

Check your Pokédex. You'll also find that you've seen all 150 Pokémon in Sinnoh, but only if you strictly followed this walkthrough and faced all Trainers. If you have completed, great job! If you haven't, check your Pokédex and hunt down the Pokémon that you haven't seen yet. However, there are a lot of Pokémon for you to see, not just only 150...... But anyway. You should tell this to Professor Rowan. So, get ready and head downstairs.

Your Mom will tell you that Rival Barry has gone to the Battle Zone. The Battle Zone is the island northeast of the main part of Sinnoh Region. You can access there by taking a ship at Snowpoint City, but for now, you cannot do much. Head to Sandgem Town (where the Pokémon Research Lab is) first.

Sandgem Town

You'll see Prof. Rowan's aide Dawn/Lucas outside the Pokémon Research Lab. She/He will congratulate you.

Upgrading Pokédex to National Pokédex

Head to the Pokémon Centre and boot up the PC. Access "Rowan's PC". If you've seen all 150 Pokémon in Sinnoh, Prof. Rowan will tell you to come over to the Lab!

I missed some Pokémon!

There are some Pokémon that is easily omitted, especially two of them.

Riolu

If you don't have the patience to hatch the Riolu egg, didn't get the egg from Riley, or didn't even visit Iron Island, you'll have to see one in the basement of Oreburgh Gate. Surf west and you can fight Veteran Grant to see one. Refer to Section 13 for details.

Opposite version mascot

You can see the picture of PalkiaWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. or DialgaWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. in Celestic Town after catching your version mascot. Refer to Section 20 for details.

Afterwards......

There are many more things for you to do:

  • Explore Battle Zone
  • Catch some new Pokémon
    • Pokemon Swarm
    • Poke Radar
    • Pokemon Mansion
    • Legendary Pokemon
  • Go to Pal Park
  • Explore Route 224

You can now really explore Battle Zone, but you still have something to do in the main part of Sinnoh! Why wouldn't you finish these things first?

This walkthrough will start from swarming Pokemon.

Pokemon Swarm

Now that you got the National Pokedex, Jubilife TV will have a News Flash to tell you that there is a swarm (also known as mass outbreak) of Pokemon at somewhere in the region. Dawn's/Lucas' sister will also tell you about the swarm. To find her, go to Dawn's/Lucas' house in Sandgem Town.

The outbreak will let you catch some previously unavailable Pokemon. The swarm lasts for a day and expires at midnight (12:00AM). The next day, another swarm of Pokemon will appear.

Next stop, Pal Park.
