'''The Underground''' (Japanese: '''ちかつうろ''' ''Underground Passage'') is an area in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] found beneath the entire [[Sinnoh]] region. [[Player character|Players]] can travel underground at any time using an [[Explorer Kit]], which they can receive in [[Eterna City]]. The Underground features multiple uses of the [[Nintendo DS|DS's]] touch-screen, as the main view is on the lower touch-sensitive screen while the upper screen shows a radar map of the entire underground. | '''The Underground''' (Japanese: '''ちかつうろ''' ''Underground Passage'') is an area in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] found beneath the entire [[Sinnoh]] region.

The Underground has a different menu than the one in the overworld. Mostly, it shows the different [[item]]s used; with the exception of treasures, which can be transferred to the player's [[bag]], these are all exclusive to the area. | The Underground has a different menu than the one in the overworld.

The Underground is also where [[secret base]]s are created in the [[Generation IV]] games. The spheres dug up in the mining minigame can be traded to explorers found throughout the caves for objects to furnish secret bases. Secret bases can be created in any part of the wall using a [[Digger Drill]]. These bases can be decorated with ten items each. | The Underground is also where [[secret base]]s are created in the [[Generation IV]] games.

Another feature of the underground are [[#Traps|traps]] . These can also be purchased from explorers with spheres or found in the path in the same manner that the player can find mining spots: by touching the screen and watching for sparkles on the ground. If a player steps on a trap, they may be sent flying in a specific direction, have their controls altered so they walk the wrong way, or they may have to use the stylus or microphone to clear a hazard, such as by popping bubbles or clearing smoke. The game will explain how to escape from a trap, however if the trap was placed by an opponent, he or she will be alerted that someone has landed in it. | Another feature of the underground are [[#Traps|traps]] .

When entering the Underground, the DS Wireless Communication is activated. Other players within range choosing to enter the Underground will be able to interact in the same set of tunnels. As described above, players can enter one another's Secret Bases and set traps. Additionally, each player's buried spheres are also accessible to others. | |||
Players can talk to each other just like NPCs in the above world. In doing so, they can exchange Goods used to decorate a Secret Base, and they can communicate using a basic question and answer selection menu. Each time a player talks to someone else, the counter on their card is incremented. This counter reaching 35 is one of the prerequisites for encountering [[Spiritomb]]. | |||
