Pokemon Diamond and Pearl features online co-op, trading & the battle mode is shown in a new 3 minute demo video

This video just in from Japan, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl are looking good I’m putting up a list of new info below.
New features list!
* The Underground world of Shinou is a co-operative play area where you link up with a friend (Over Wireless and WiFi online) and search for items and Pokemon, tackling puzzles enroute. Fossils are primarily found here.
* The underground area is also where the secret bases are situated and there is a versus game called Flag Retrieval. Each person has a flag in their secret base and when connected you need to go to your friends base and retrieve their flag. There are Rocks and Leaves and many other traps that can slow you down or stop you on that route.
* The Battle Tower makes a return with global WiFi battling in a special WiFi Battle Room.
* There is a Global Trade Station where you can meet up with people online around the globe and trade with people or battle!
* The Global Trading Station allows you to put the Pokemon you’re willing to trade up and state what you would like in return including Pokemon Name, Level and Gender. If it finds a match that the trainers agree to, a trade is done. If not then it stays on the system until you cancel. You can also look at the Pokemon open for trades and put in an offer.

The Grass type, Naetle, will have the ability Overgrow.
The Fire type, Hikozaru, will have the ability Blaze.
And the Water type, Pochama, which will have the ability Torrent.
