Pokémon Adamant Diamond & Lustrous Pearl 1.0

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, rebuilt inside Pokémon Black 2 in the Gen 5 style. This release has both games.

Downloads: Pokemon_Lustrous_Pearl_v1.0.bps and Pokemon_Adamant_Diamond_v1.0.bps. Patches only; no ROMs are included.

New since alpha 0.1

• Adamant Diamond: Dialga, the Adamant Orb, and Diamond's own wild Pokémon, title screen, Pokédex entries and Ramanas Park rooms.
• Super Contests: Visual, Dance and Acting at Hearthome's Contest Hall, with Accessories and ribbons.
• Poffins: cook them in Hearthome's Poffin House and feed them from the Poffin Case.
• Secret Bases: dig one with the Digger Drill and decorate it with goods from the PC, Veilstone's store, traders and the Underground Man.
• The Battle Zone: the Battle Tower and the PWT.
• Seasons, more of the Pokétch's apps, Pearl's shops, and many playtest fixes.

Known issues

• In Super Contests, hearts, Voltage and result bars are numbers rather than the original sprites. The top screen shows numbers instead of the dressed Pokémon during Visual, and the curtain doesn't count in Visual's score.
• Black 2's sounds stand in for the contests' and the Digger Drill's. Cooking Poffins is solo, with simplified art.
• Secret Bases have no Radar or other players' bases. A placed good can wall you in, as in the original: Move Goods frees you.
• Digging in the Underground, the Veilstone Game Corner and online features are not in. Some people can't do their job yet, including the Mining Museum's fossil restoring and in-game trades. The full list is in the player guide.
• Much of this was tested in an emulator rather than on hardware, so please report what you find.

How to play

Apply a patch to your own dump of Pokémon Black Version 2 (USA/Europe, game code IREO, CRC32 D4427FD1) with Rom Patcher JS, Floating IPS or beat, on a computer: a 512 MB game is too much for a phone browser. Then play in melonDS or on hardware.
