2. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With every new Pokemon game comes something new.
All those that remember Silver can recall a Cell Phone
Radio
like device that was cut from Ruby and Sapphire.
There was the PokeNav, but clearly...it kinda sucked. :P
While it did disappear, it came back in Diamond and Pearl,
under a new name. That name, is called the Poketch.
But what is the Poketch?
The Poketch is a device that is acquired somewhat early in
the game.
To get it, when you go to Jubilife City, when you
attempt to walk past the school, a man will stop
and offer you a Poketch if you find the three clowns.
One is in front of the door to the TV Station, one is
outside of the Poketch Company building, and the last is
behind the Pokemon Center. It has useful functions (such as
time)
that can aid you as you are playing. But, you do not
start out with all of them. You need to find them
throughout the game. Although they are not very well
hidden,
you can easily skip them. This guide will explain where
they are,
what they are, and some tips to using the Poketch.
I finally got what seems to be all of the Applications
listed (as well as some AR help :P) so if there are any
more, let me know.
***Trainer's Tip***
To change Poketch applications, click the big red button on
the side. If you want to skip to a certain one without clicking,
waiting, and clicking again, click it multiple times to see a
number of what tool you are on. This isonly for ones you have
though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Poketch Tools
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What the tools are and how to get them. They are in
the ordered of the numbers the Poketch displays them as.
------------------------------------
1. Digital Clock
------------------------------------
Function: Tells the time according to your DS internal
clock.
Use: By touching the screen
when the clock is on, it lights up. This is basically for
if your DS internal light is off. It is also helpful for
events that happen at a certain time (like when Rotom
appears).
Obtained: When you get the Poketch.
Tips: ALWAYS keep your DS time and date correct for this
game, because it will be critical for some things. :P
------------------------------------
2. Calculator
------------------------------------
Function: Performs simple (and a little complex)
math equations. It displays up to 10 digits and
will give a ?????????? if it can't solve something.
Use: To solve any equations that might come up during the
journey. Breeder's can find this useful.
Obtained: When you get the Poketch.
Tips: Ever playing Pokemon at a place where money is
handled (like a store)? Help get the cost before the
cashire finds out.
Cool Dude sent me this e-mail that said,
"I had found something interesting about the Calculator function.
You'll hear the sound of the Pokemon whose number matches the answer
(After you hit =) if the Pokemon is in your Pokedex.
For example, if you put in 5x5, when you press = and
get the answer of 25, the game will play Pikachu's sound."
Thanks!

4. Nintendo Events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What are Nintendo Events?
Of course, you all know thats how you can get rare
Pokemon. But Nintendo also will give away the three
last Poketch Applications this way.
But how do they work?
Well, I'm not exactly sure. My guess is that
there will be a guy in the Union Room
(but a machine, really) and by talking to him,
it will download the Poketch App.
into your game. THIS IS NOT A 100% WAY THIS
WILL WORK, it's only my guess.
Nintendo puts a download machine
thing at a bunch of places (a common one being
Toy's R' Us') and you can get it that way. I do not
know when or how this will work, and there has only
been one event in Japan, but that was for a rare
Pokemon. If anyone has info on this, I would gladly
like it. America and other countrys have not had any
events yet.
EDIT: Can someone send me in info on how the one event
that has gone on worked?

5. FAQ's
~~~~~~~
Q: When I show the lady in Pal Park my Snorlax, I talk
to her again and she doesn't acknowledge my Kecleon
in my party. Whats wrong?
A: You need to exit, and then come back in.
Q: How did you get the Nintendo Event Items.
A: I was fooling around with one of my friends
Action Replays, and found them in it. After looking
around on some Japanese websites, I concluded that they
are Nintendo Event items. :P
Here is the code:

To activate the code, press L+R at the same time.
It gives you all the applcations. To imput
custom codes, go to my codelists, make one

Diamond or Pearl) here. Right click, and go
to enter code. Then copy and paste this into

Q: Hello, i read your guide on gamefaqs and
just had one farily strange question. When
you find something on the item locater app,
how do you pick it up?
A: Press A in the empty space where it is.
Q: i've got a little question about the
poketch faq.
to get the calender you have to show a
pokémon with a serious nature to someone
in sunyshore city but what kind of pokémon are that.
and the pokémon with a quirky and naive
nature can you give a few exemples please.
A: It all depends on the Pokemon. Go to the
summary of the Pokemon, and look at it's Nature.
Q:
Hi,
my friends and your guide said that I can use the
marking map to find rare pokemon. Well I've
tried finding out how and why but I just can't
figure it out. So could you please tell me how to
use it?
A: Well, the Pokeman's names are Azelf, Mesprit,
and Uxie.If you go to the lake near the start of
the game, and surf, you'll find a cave. (you
have to catch or at least see Palkia or Dialga,
though). When you talk to the Pokemon in there,
it's released into the wild. To find it, it
shows an icon on the marking map on where it is.
There are two other caves in the game to find the
two others, but that's not what my guides about. :P
Send in a question for it to be answered. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. About The Guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did I make this?
When I got the Poketch, I was entrapped. I love it. It's
so cool what little gadgets and things are on it.
So, I looked on GameFAQ's (my favorite FAQ site :P)
and I saw there was no guide to these wonderful little
things.
I got close to beating the game, and I decided to join
GameFAQ's to trade Pokemon and stuff on the message board.
Well,
I decided to write this soon after I joined. My brother
beat
Diamond, so I'll be using both of our games to figure
things out. Oh yeah, I side note, I submitted some of
the Diamond Box art.
I would also like to add here that if you bought this
guide, you got ripped off and should get your money
back.
If you have any suggestions for this guide, please look in
the
contact section for ways you can tell me.
