Diamond and Pearl Sinnoh PokeDex - screenshotWith a number of exciting new features, including powerful moves and the exotic "Sinnoh" region setting, Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl offer new and experienced fans thrilling new Pokemon adventures. Fans can get an early start on their Pokemon collection in the games with the introduction of a new character in the series, the mysterious Manaphy. A Water-type Pokemon, Manaphy has the power to swap healing effects with other Pokemon through its "Heart Swap" move.

To harness the power of Manaphy and its "Heart Swap" move, players must first capture the Manaphy egg hidden within Pokémon Ranger by beating the story mode of the game and entering the exclusive "Manaphy Egg Code." Manaphy can then "hatch" in Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl via a unique transfer.

Announced on Jan. 20, the "Manaphy Egg Code" can be found on the Manaphy Web site at www.Manaphy.com. Savvy Pokémon fans should check in often for new information on this mysterious character, as well as fun downloads and game tips. In addition, fans can learn more about Manaphy through its film debut as the star of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, to be released on DVD in the spring.

Pokémon Ranger is rated E for Everyone and is available at retail stores nationwide. Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl are rated E for Everyone and will debut in the United States on April 22, of this year.
