Finding the Pokétch

First of all you will need to go to the Pokémon School to see your rival (the one you named). Once this has been activated you can get the chance to battle two Abra, we will skip this part as I’m guiding you on getting the Pokétch. Exit the Pokémon School and as you go past the school a man in a suit will approach you. He will tell you that he will give a free Pokétch if you bring him three special coupons.

He explains that there are three campaign clowns in town and below are the locations:

Answer these questions and each clown will give you a coupon. Once you have collected the three coupons, return to the man (standing by the Pokémon Centre) and he will exchange them for the Pokétch. The Pokétch is a unique item which holds up to 25 applications (22 of them being available in the Diamond/Pearl game, the others being available through Nintendo Events); these are covered in the Pokétch Applications section.

18
Dot Artist
Show the man inside the house by the Munchlax rock in Sunyshore City (Rock climb is required) a Pokémon with a Naive Nature

22
Pokétch Colour Changer
Show the girl inside of Pal Park a Kecleon
Allows you to change the Pokétch colour. This remains the same until you desire to change the colour again
23
Match Maker
Received at Nintendo Events
Allows you to check your current party Pokémon to see whether or not they are capable for breeding. If the two Pokémon are compatible then the Luvdisc will move in to kiss/kiss. If they are a perfect match three hearts will be lit up. If they are sort of perfect then two hearts will be lit. If they are OK then one heart will be lit up. If they hate each other then the Luvdisc will face back to back and no hearts will be lit. The chosen Pokémon can be change by tapping the Pokémon at the bottom of the Pokétch
24
Stopwatch
Received at Nintendo Events
Can be used to time activities or events. In relation to the Kitchen Timer application, this one counts up rather than down which makes far more sense really
25
Alarm Clock
Received at Nintendo Events
Handy for time relevant events on Diamond or Pearl. It can also be used as a wake up call in the morning (not recommended though as leaving your DS on constantly is bad for the system and battery)
