Nintendo revealed that Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version, two new Pokemon games available April 22 for the Nintendo DS will offer VoiP support that will allow gamers to talk over Wi-Fi connection. The games feature enhanced graphics, 380 Pokémon available in previous versions and more than 100 new Pokémon and the ability to import Pokémon from older Game Boy Advance titles. Starting March 18, fans who pre-order a copy of either game will receive one of two collectible Pokémon styluses.

But the biggest feature is the ability to talk over the Wi-Fi Connection service. Using a local wireless connection, up to eight trainers can connect and play. Both Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl are fully Wi-Fi compatible, meaning players can log onto Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and compete with players all around the world. The microphone built into the Nintendo DS even lets players talk with friends before, during and after battles. Only players who have entered one another's Friend Codes can communicate using this Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, feature so players can control with whom they communicate. The Nintendo DS Headset, sold separately, will also make these conversations a breeze. Look for the game to hit retail in late April.
