Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: What causes this and how it can be prevented.

Sometimes, Pokémon placed in the PC may disappear completely.

Unwinnable Game

It is possible to create an unwinnable game in all versions of Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, though it requires going out of the way to meet the conditions required.

  • The player must use the in-game trade on Meister's island on Route 226 to trade a Finneon for Magikarp.
  • Finneon must be the only Pokémon in the player's party that can learn Surf, and no Pokémon in the player's party can learn Fly or Teleport.
  • The Finneon in question must be obtained through trading.
  • The player must not have a fishing rod in their inventory (this is why Finneon has to be acquired through a trade, as the only way to catch a Finneon is by fishing with the Good Rod).
  • The player also must not have enough Rare Candies to evolve the Magikarp acquired through the trade.

If all these requirements are met, once the player trades the Finneon away and saves their game, they're stuck on the island forever with no way out, as they can't surf, fly, or teleport away, and without a fishing rod, they also can't trigger a battle to purposefully black out and return to the last Pokémon Center.
