Pokémon Diamond has returned to the top of the Australian games chart, according to data trackers GfK. Pokémon Pearl took out third spot, with Transformers: The Game keeping the duo from snatching both top spots.

Mimicking Pokémon's double, Nintendo's Dr Kawashima managed to have his popular series take out two places in the same week. More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? grabbed fifth spot and Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? took out sixth place.

In other chart news, on the PC side of things The Sims 2 and various expansion packs let go of some of its reign over the charts, taking out only six of the possible 10 spots--down from last week, when The Sims 2 held eight of the possible 10.
