📖Story

Begin your adventure in the Sinnoh region, a land rich in mythology and history. Starting from Twinleaf Town with your rival Barry, you'll receive your first Pokémon from Professor Rowan after a chance encounter with legendary Pokémon at Lake Verity. Challenge eight Gym Leaders while uncovering Team Galactic's plot to harness the power of time and space through Dialga and Palkia. Climb to the peak of Mt. Coronet for a climactic confrontation that will determine the fate of the universe.

🎮Gameplay

Experience the first Pokémon games with Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling worldwide battles and trades. The physical/special split revolutionized battling by making move categories independent of type. Explore the Underground to dig for fossils, spheres, and rare items while creating secret bases. Super Contests add a new layer to competition with dress-up and dancing phases. Use Poffins to enhance your Pokémon's contest stats. The dual-slot feature allows migration from GBA games.
