About This Game

Pokemon Diamond Sun and Moon Box Art

Introduction: "Pokemon Diamond Sun and Moon" is not an official Nintendo DS title but a fan-made ROM hack. It is a modification of the official Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games, designed to incorporate elements from the Alola region featured in the 3DS titles Pokemon Sun and Moon. The game is set in the Sinnoh region but features a visual and narrative overhaul to include Alolan forms and characters, running on the original DS engine with modified graphics and text.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The hack retains the core mechanics of Generation IV, including the Physical/Special split. It introduces Alolan forms of Pokemon, such as Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Exeggutor, into the Sinnoh Dex. Starter choices are typically the classic Sinnoh trio—Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup—but some versions may offer Alolan starters. The difficulty is generally similar to the base Diamond game, not specifically designed for Nuzlocke challenges. Key mechanical imports from Sun and Moon, like Z-Moves or the removal of HMs, are usually not fully implemented due to engine limitations.

Key Features:

  • Integration of Alolan Pokemon and forms into the Sinnoh region's habitats and story.
  • Appearances by characters from Pokemon Sun and Moon, such as Professor Kukui or Team Skull grunts, woven into the Sinnoh narrative.
  • Updated movepools for certain Pokemon to include moves introduced in later generations, alongside potential graphical sprite edits for Alolan variants.
As a ROM hack, its completeness and stability can vary between different versions and patches.
