reminder: Diamond and Pearl were originally made to be the "ultimate" pokemon games.
>You’ll be able to port Pokemon that you’ve gotten familiar with and liked from previous titles but yet, still be able to see something new for the first time. You can gather all the Pokemon you’ve collected and raised long ago and relive your memories with them in Diamond and Pearl. That’s what I meant when I said I wanted to build a “compilation”. But I’d also like everyone to enjoy evolving all the new Pokemon too.
