How do you transfer your past collection to the new game? I thought that was a vain goal these days.

Same here - trying to help my son (surrreee - that's what they all say ;) ) trade over to Emerald. About half-a-dozen Pokemon short and need to figure out Suicune. Then it's restart time and a new starter Pokemon!

Diamond and Pearl boast compatibility with many other Pokémon games. They can connect with the Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs after earning the National Pokédex, when the Pokémon Game Boy Advance cartridge is inserted into slot 2 (the Game Boy Advance cartridge and accessory slot of the Nintendo DS) while Diamond or Pearl is in slot 1 (the DS card slot). After uploading six Pokémon, players go to an area called Pal Park and must capture them in the wild.[14] Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per day per GBA cartridge. The player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in Pal Park by the means of a special Park Ball that has 100% chance of capture, before transferring from another GBA game. Pokémon cannot be transferred from an English GBA game to a Japanese DS game, and the player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to Diamond or Pearl.

The use of Pal Park is necessary if a player wishes to obtain the starter or legendary Pokémon from a previous generation of Pokémon games.[15] All other Pokémon can be found and caught or obtained in Diamond and Pearl. Some Pokémon, however, are only available while the player has a Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPG inserted in Slot 2 of the Nintendo DS.[16]

Certain species of Pokémon traded internationally will have a Pokédex entry in the language of the game it originated from.[17] This is enabled through a new function which is added to the player’s Pokédex, allowing the player to switch between multiple languages in those same Pokémon's entries, including Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.

In addition, Diamond and Pearl are able to connect to Pokémon Ranger. Using this feature, a player will be able to send a Manaphy egg from Pokémon Ranger to Diamond or Pearl after completing a special mission in Ranger.[18] Diamond and Pearl also feature Wi-Fi connectivity with the Wii Pokémon title Pokémon Battle Revolution, allowing players to upload Pokémon wirelessly via the Nintendo DS into the game.
