POKEMON DIAMOND, PEARL AND PLATINUM RIBBONS

In Diamond and Pearl, there's lots of Ribbons you can collect from around the world. Your ribbons are given to your Pokemon, and you can check your collection by going to the status menu of a Pokemon and scrolling to the last panel. Not only does this impress your friends, there is, however, a reward if you manage to get 10 ribbons. In the Resort Area, the Ribbon Society is an exclusive club that will let you enter if one of your Pokemon has at least 10 ribbons. Inside, you can buy more ribbons, or you can head to the second level to give your Pokemon a spa, which increases their happiness by more than a massage can.

Here's a list of the places you can get ribbons.

Mr. Footprint
	Mr. Footprint can be found on Route 213, just east of Pastoria City. He will give you the Footprint Ribbon if your Pokemon has reached their maximum happiness quota.

Julia

Monday's ribbon is the Alert Ribbon, Tuesday's is Shock, Wednesday's is Downcast, Thursday's is Careless, Friday's is Relax, Saturday's is Snooze and Sunday's is Smile.
