'Pokemon Diamond/Pearl' Review (DS)
Reviewer: review.killerbetties.com03 May 2009- Overall 0
What better way to get children familiar with obsessive-compulsive disorder than to give them a game where the catchphrase is "Got to catch them all" and the addictive drug of choice are cute, fuzzy creatures that do battle? Seriously though, I was a fan of the series for the first two installments and found myself watching the series every week, but this was at the prime of Pokemon fever. After having taken some time off from the franchise, the newest Diamond/Pearl has... Read more

Pokémon Pearl Version (DS)
Reviewer: review.crispygamer.com18 February 2008(Page 1 of 3) When Nintendo released the first entries of its Pokémon series in the United States, many people were quick to dismiss the increasingly popular games as a fad. The games were, after all, accompanied by a marketing blitz including a TV show, a card game and enough toys and merchandise to smother an elementary school student. Nearly 10 years later, the initial shockwave has passed, but Pokémon is still going strong. Sure, your local anchorman isn't... Read more

Pokemon Diamond rocks
Reviewer: GamePro.com09 May 2009- Overall 10
this game is awesome for the Nintendo DS. i have been a big fan of pokemon ever since i got pokemon Red Version on the gameboy ever since that day it was getting better and better. This is an amazing franchise and is really really addicting. that is probably why so much people like it. It would be better if there were some twist to the game than it would be at the hight rank. But overall a really great game. Read more

Pokemon Pearl
Reviewer: Michael Berlin "Mikey B", Amazon19 March 2009- Overall 8
Fun: I love pokemon. Great game. Alot of fun and very addicting. I just wish they would make a game like this for the bigger systems. One that you can actually go and catch pokemon like on the TV show. Until they get smart enough to do that, I will continue to have fun with what they have out. Read more

One of the best games ever
Reviewer: LOVEFiLM14 February 2009- Overall 10
This game is amzing even though the graphics are rubbish and it is not 3d. It is an amzing game because you want to catch all the pokemon and trade them. It takes forever to complete the game (unless you cheat) and it is just great catching legendrey pokemon. Overall this game is really good. Read more

Same game as before but still fun
Reviewer: Blueclops, Game Almighty25 April 2007Pokémon is now in its 4th generation with the induction of Diamond and Pearl. The game basically puts the player in the shoes of a new kid, stumbling into his new job of Pokémon trainer. Sadly, the biggest change from the last game is the graphics. While each game has had a slight graphical increase, this is the first game to be "3D". Windmills have polygonal turbines instead of pixilated ones, and I walk around on a large bridge which is its own area, then below it.... Read more
