Proto:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/March-August 2006 Source Leak/February 17th, 2006 build/Sprite Differences
This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/March-August 2006 Source Leak/February 17th, 2006 build.
This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. |

Pokémon Sprites
These sprites are the earliest known Pokémon sprites in the leaked repository, dated March 12th, 2006. However, the earliest build that was able to be built had an actual date of February 17, thus, from this assumption, the sprites included in the February 17th build would not have been added afterward, and the closest date that they could have been added was used.
Many Pokémon use poses similar to the final, but with their color palettes from the Generation III games, as can be seen with Pokémon like Machamp, Hoothoot, and Salamence. Due to the size of and similarity to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald sprites, one can assume that these graphics were in development during the Game Boy Advance era.
Several prototype box images use the wrong palette in-game. This is because the game uses an array to specify one of three palettes, but in this version, the array is wrong and box sprites of Pokémon after 307 use the wrong palette. Most of their incorrect color ironically resemble their Shiny colors.

Gender Differences
To do: Add the missing Pokémon in the table. |
One of the key differences between the Pokémon Diamond & Pearl source and the final game is a large amount of cut gender differences. The planned gender difference sprites as of February 17th's source can be seen below. The gender differences that have been kept and used in the final game have also been marked, but still contain changed sprites.
