- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2012A betterment of the original Diamond and Pearl version, it surpasses the first two instalments of the fourth generation of Pokémon games in every possible regard.
A better flow of the game, a better main quest, improved details and dialogues and a tweaked battle system that fixes the slow pace of battle encounters. And countless extras, such as Gym Leader "Boss" rematches, a new area, new formes for Rotom, Giratina and Shaymin and the all new Battle Frontier, to sate your thirst for battling.
This game is a must have in any Pokemon fan's collection and a derserving title for the 5 star rating.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2015Lost my original copy so ordered this as a replacement. So glad I did. Even though it turned up with a USA cartridge which I thought wouldn't work (Nintendo being notorious for region locking their games and all) but to my surprise did. Turns out original DS games are no longer region locked! :) Anyway brilliant condition and the game works perfectly. Very happy
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 August 2013As a person who is new to the generation, I thought this might be a good place to begin, however I wasn't too comfortable with the region or pokémon and often had to research what each pokémon could do and what type it was. However, following that it is a good game like so many games before it and I'm sure like so many after.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2019Judging by how expensive pokemon 3ds game are today, I kinda expected it to be in a better condition when it says "Good". Manual is not in good condition, box and chip are fine but could be better. Let me remind you I'm judging this by the price. So with this price and quality I would give it 3/5 stars and that's an okay (fair) rating in my opinion.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2009Before someone comments saying "Oh its just like D/P. It's a waste of money". Yes some of the stuff in the game is the same. And Yes I already own both D/P so I know what I'm talking about. There are new features, some of the graphics are better (well to me they are). I would say buy this game. I ALWAYS buy the third game they bring out from nintendo, why? because the third one is always better. Nindento improve on the first games I dont know if they mean to but they do.
I believe this is not a waste of money, I enjoy playing the game again even if some of the things are similar. That's what makes it so good, cause I know what will happen, then suddenly it changes so it wasn't the same.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2015Perfect quality! The game came with the box as the seller had stated it would do, and it also works perfectly. The information booklet is a bit torn, but that doesn't matter. The game needed reset but that's easily done. It was also shipped in brilliant time. This is exactly what I expected, thank you!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2013I was really excited to try out this game, I had played previous Pokemon games and found them amazing. I paid over twenty pounds for this, knowing it may be a little below quality, even though it stated 'like new'. I got it, first class delivery, very excited to play it, and it doesn't even begin. I recommend to spend a little more and get one that WILL work.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2012I bought this game for my pokemon mad 11 year old son. Although it looks like a simple game, he has found it quite a challenge. The game has great longevity, and is very hard to complete, with lots of areas to explore and pokemon to find and train, as well as the option of swapping pokemon with your friends who own a DS via Wi Fi connection.

AnonReviewed in Spain on 17 August 20245.0 out of 5 stars Me tardo en llegar pero al final valio la pena
Inicialmente ponia que el juego vendria en frances, pero me vino en ingles; Para mi esto no es un problema, ya que prefiero la version inglesa en mi caso al conocer el ingles yo. Satisfecho, el vendedor tambien contacto conmigo en mi caso y por lo menos en mi caso particular, me ayudo y me dio opciones ya que inicialmente tenia dudas y estaba pensando en devolver el producto. No esta mal.

KdrshvReviewed in France on 17 May 20185.0 out of 5 stars Retour dans l'enfance
Ayant récemment reterminé les versions Red et Silver VC sur ma New Nintendo 2DS XL, j'ai voulu continuer en m'achetant cette version Platine anglophone du jeu car je suis plus spécialisé en noms de Pokemon anglais. Article reçu en quelques jours, provenant de l'Angleterre, sans aucun soucis, neuve sous blister.
Si certains sont intéressés, c'est une version USA mais ne vous inquiétez pas car a l'époque les jeux DS étaient pas REGION LOCK ce qui veut dire que vous pouvez jouer sur n'importe quelle console (US, EUR, ASIA) n'importe quel jeu (US, EUR, ASIA).
Je mettrais surement a jour ce commentaire après avoir fini ce jeu. J'ai hâte de commencer et de découvrir cette génération 4.
