There are also two new characters.... Looker from the International Police and the new fourth commander of team Galactic...Charon. You even get to meet you Best friends(whatever you happened to name him) dad. There are also other extra features like the other Battle Frontier facilities and items to buy like scratchoff tickets for prizes at the Battle Frontier, and there is a Basement floor to the Dept. Store in Veilstone City,
The Elite 4 have a few different pokemon than in D/P like Flint has a Hounddoom instead of one of the others he had in D/P. Eterna Forrest is totally different. there is a shadow of the forrest canopy on the floor that shifts as the wind blows acroos the top. Parts of the Team Galactic Headquarters are a little different. Stark Mt. is a bit different. there is so much more that is just so cool. There are even new games to play over the Wifi connection. Oh and when you face the Elite 4 for the second time their pokemon will be stronger than they were when you beat them the first time. you have to beat them then go back and face them all over again. This only happens the first time you beat them though. There is also a change in Bucks house in the Survival Area where you can battle a few of the Gym leaders a second time. Inside Bucks house are Candice from Snowpoint City and Roarek from Oreburge City. There are also lots of changes to where certain pokemon roam on the map. Thats all I can think of right now but I know there is more so I will think long and hard. Oh yeah some of the main Characters that you battle like you friend the gym leaders, the Elite 4, Cyrus and the commanders of team galactic have special movements they make at the start of the battle. And some of ther possitions and movements of the wild and trainers pokemon are different when they enter the battle screen. I particularly like the new possitiopn of Skuntank... His hind leg is in the air and it looks like he is taking a leak on something or someone or even getting ready to spray you like a real skunk does.....

u all missed one, u get your own villa!!

All the elite four are a bit different than before. They have all pokemon of the same type. For instance, the bug elite four member has all bug types now and the fire elite four member has all fire types now. That was one of things I wanted to see change from Diamond and Pearl.
