About Pokemon Sharp Diamond & Smooth Pearl
Diamond and Pearl-style music, outfits, maps, and trainer teams give this GBA demo its identity, alongside Pokémon that follow from the beginning. Pokémon Sharp Diamond & Smooth Pearl is a GBA Demo 1 project credited to Jaizu, based on Pokémon Emerald. Updated moves, abilities, learnsets, and battle rules follow Generation 8 standards, while the Pokédex expands with selected additions. HMs are replaced by other systems, and Gyms receive a mixture of retained, simplified, and remade puzzles. Auto-run, a morning, day, and night cycle, and indoor potion or Rare Candy use support exploration. The player can later obtain Platinum outfits.
