What do the natures in Pokemon Pearl mean?

Answer:
From 3rd generation on, Pokemon have natures. Natures influence how your Pokemon grows and what Pokeblocks it likes. A Pokeblock will affect your Pokemon's Contest condtion. A Pokeblock that your Pokemon likes will affect it much more than a Pokeblock it feels neutral about; and a Pokeblock it feel neutral about will affect it more than a Pokeblock it dislikes.
