THE BEST GAME EVER!!!, 25 Jan 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this game! Although this is my first pokemon game, I've had other DS games before, like Zelda, Nintendogs, and Mariokart. This game is HUGEEEEEEEEEEE. There is so much to do. Just when you think the game is over, there is something else to do. I thought after obtaining all 8 gym badges and beating the Elite 4 plus the Champion (Cynthia), the game was over. I then discovered that you could catch Heatron, and also start to build up your Pokedex. I've managed to catch Palkia, Uxie and Azelf, but is still trying to catch Mesprit, who keeps running away. I've managed to get her level down to yellow, and can't wait to catch her eventually. In the meantime, I can battle in the Battle zone and rechallenge the Elite 4 as often as I want, to level-up my Pokemons and earn more money. I've also managed to eventually evolve Riolu into the Great Lucario.
You can challenge a friend and I understand that you can also go online to trade or challenge other people, but I've not done that yet.
All I can say, is BUY this game. It's more than FANTASTIC!!!

Nostalgic, yet brand new!, 29 April 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
After recently obtaining this game from the States, the experience has been nothing less than awesome.
Not properly executed since Gold/Silver, the night/day system is back! Of the new Pokemon introduced (over 100) the time system treats you with new events and Pokemon at different times of the day. The atmosphere is beautifully pulled off, with orange tints to the game in the evening and lights switched on in the building at night.
The new Pokemon are a real treat, although you may find some disappointment that you're still getting your Ratatta and Pidgey equivalent in the game, rather than a complete new line-up. But if that's what you know and love, then this game will only satisfy you further!
Not only that, but finally, you can obtain majority of the 493 Pokemon within the game and transfer between your older Advance generation (Ru/Sa/Em/FR/LG) are possible through Pal Park.
The graphics, although still much the same despite the new system, are beautiful and colourful. They match the game perfectly with its slightly pseudo-3D environment. You might be disappointed though if you expected a real update.
Although, perhaps the most alluring feature of the game is the new WiFi system, allowing you to battle and trade your precious Pokemon all over the world. This also includes voice chats amoung mutual friends.
However, one must be aware of the faults of the game.
- nothing has really changed dramatically, except the addition of WiFi
- there is on random battle system with other players in the WiFi, forcing you to find your own means of contacting someone
- the WiFi is heavily exploited at the moment, with illegal and hacked Pokemon being fought and traded with. One must be aware of scammers and hackers if they don't want to lose their hard-earned legal Pokemon
- there is still only one save file, so sharing your game is still not easy
Final Highlights:
- new day/night system integrated
- WiFi trading and battling
- New Pokemon, boosting the current number to 493!
- Beautiful music and atmosphere
- Lots to do with contests, new events and a whole new world!
Conclusion: If people are expecting a new game, you'll be disappointed. But for all you Pokefans out there, this will tickle-you-pink with everything that is included. For those waiting, roll on June!

Extra features of Pokemon Pearl/Diamond, 9 April 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
In this new addition to the series you lose the pokenav and get in turn a watch, at first it seems dull (with only a map and the time) but as you go on it has up to 25 functions including how your pokemon are feeling, an alarm (from nintendo events) and a berry watcher, which tells you when berries you have planted are ripe.
No longer do you make pokeblock either but instead BREAD! Though the game calls it Pofin.
If you place your copy of sapphire, emerald, ruby, leaf green or fire red into the game boy advance slot then an extra 8 pokemon (from that game) will be available in the safari zone until the cartridge is removed. BUT BEWARE if you are using a different region ( ours is PAL america is NTSC etc. )game from the ds version this will fail, even though handheld games are region free they can only mix records if from the same region.
Also, as you would guess, there are 107 new pokemon the starters of which being:-
GRASS Turtwig (tutle), WATER Piplup (penguin) and FIRE Chimchar (monkey)
Enjoy the new game along with the 14 new legendary pokemon it brings!
