First Pokemon Game

This was my first Pokemon game ever! I saw all the great reviews and rave about the other Pokemon games (i.e.- Ruby, Sapphire, Fire red, and Leaf green), and thought that it might be fun because I like puzzles and storylines. I saw some kids at the park trading their pokemon over Wireless and having a blast, and that's when I said to myself "I NEED to get a Pokemon game". I've never been a fan really at all of Pokemon, I used to watch it when I was littler, and maybe collect a few cards, but never really made a hobbie of it. So I decided the first day I got a DS Lite I would get Pokemon Diamond along with it. It was the best choice I ever made! The graphics are ok, but not nearly as supirior as Nintendogs. The charactors are cool, and so are the Pokemon monsters. It's not frustrating, yet not easy. It's perfect for kids ages 6-18.
I highly recommend this game to Pokemon fans or non-Pokemon fans!

Just like the old days, just better.

This game has got to be the best pokemon game i've played in all my pokemon years. I was one of those kids about a decade ago that was swarming all over the first two versions (red and blue) and i've played almost every version that has come out to date. Diamond does not dissapoint. The graphics are better though they are not something that you would find on a console, are good for what the hand held can produce. You still do the basic gotta catch them all and be the best trainer you can be spoof, but it's still addicting. You also get to trade pokemon from across the world and also you can battle people from across the world. Provided that you have a WIFI connection. I probably have a few pokemon from california, virginia, new jersy, and one from australia I believe. This game is a load of fun for any pokemon fan, and there are many hours of game play involved.

Pokemon Diamond is a 50, 50 game

It is a great game! there are finally 3d graphics and many new pokemon. you still get all the old stuff like contests, the old pokemon, and sex choice.
The one thing my friends and I dont like about it is pretty much the only way you can totaly beat the game is with the guide (It took me half an hour to find some stupid key). If you DO get the guide, the game will be pretty easy. Heck, the only challange will be beating the gymleaders/elite four. But if you have the money for the guide, then the game, and the challenges will be great!

I ordered this game for my grandson for his 11th birthday. He was so excited to get it and has not put it down except to do homework, bathe, and go to school. He now wants the Pearl version as well, so guess I will be ordering it for Christmas.

Needs help and advice from an experienced player...

Bought this for my granddaughter's 10th birthday at her request. She is a novice game-player and has had to ask for help from cousins/friends. But once she gets the hang of it, she will love it. Pokemon Diamond Version DS

Lots of fun, but lots of annoyance

The Pokemon series has always appealed to the obsessive in me. Indeed, who can resist a good chase, or the opportunity to collect literally hundreds of Pokemon. Of course, the old games pretty much required that you have a friend to play alongside you, and as I got older, it became more difficult to find people willing to devote a similar amount of effort into the game.

Now, however, with the Nintendo Wi-Fi option, all of that is a thing of the past.Now, one can trade for Pokemon around the country, or even the world. Thus, after a 6-year layoff, I decided to pick up Pokemon Diamond (which gave me an excuse to finally get the DS, which incidentally is 1000x better than the PSP that merely takes up desk space in my room). And yeah, the obsessive reared its ugly head immediately, as I then bought Pokemon Fire Red, Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Ranger.

But ahem, back to the game at hand. Pokemon is excellent. Although formulaic, it's always been a fantastically deep RPG experience, even without the postgame collection madness. I won't detail the plot, as it has been beaten to death in these reviews. Instead, let's move immediately to the good and bad here.

GOOD:
- Great gameplay. Yeah, the engine is a bit tired, but it still chugs along. I particularly enjoy the fact that it is easier to catch weak Pokemon in the wild with a special Pokeball.
- Good graphics. Although not the best the DS has to offer, with all the other data stored in there, they aren't bad.
- Wi-fi is nice. I have yet to experience any problems with connections or whatnot. It is annoying that some people will cheat you online (with hacked Pokemon, e.g.), but what can you do?
- National Pokedex. Come one. When they say you can now collect 493(!) different Pokemon, how can you not resist?

BAD:
- legendary pokemon. There's not much "legendary" about them anymore. I mean, there are around 13 new "legendaries" introduced in this very game. Moreover, many cannot be obtained except via Nintendo "events," most of which have yet to grace our fair shores (yeah, I know there was a Manaphy event - of course, you can get that Pokemon in other ways). This has always been an annoyance of mine, but it's particularly bad now. There are three Pokemon that simply aren't (legitimately) available at the moment, and another three which require the purchase of other games. The REAL annoyance is that there is no reason for this whatsoever - with a Wi-fi option, Nintendo could make their events available to the public at large. But whatever - Nintendo has always been annoying this way, and it won't change any time soon.
- Underground. Do I really have to mine the walls for hours to find certain fossils? Does my base really have a bunch of rocks in it that can only be moved if I find another person's base? Does anyone really have time for this? A complete dud.
- Pal-Park. Later in the game, one gets the opportunity to migrate Pokemon from older games to their pal-park. This was a great idea. Why, then, do I have to be bothered by its mechanics? Only six Pokemon can be migrated each day, and then I have to go through a "minigame" to catch them. Just let me upload them to the PC, for crying out loud!

The last two BAD remarks are somewhat nitpicky, but the first is getting outrageous. When it was only one Pokemon, it was reasonable. But Nintendo has turned their clever little satire about obsessives into a mass-marketing campaign...geared ONLY for fanboys. I'm pretty sure that we NEVER got the chance to get Mew in the GBA games, and that's annoying. Hopefully, Nintendo will use their Wi-fi to make events more public, I ain't holding my breath.

And thus, I knock the game one star.

My son is 12 and has LOVED Pokemon since he was 3. He wanted this game so badly he started saving his own money 2 months. He bought it the day it came out and has played it everyday since. A must have for Pokemon People!

This was a gift for my 7-yr old nephew, and as far as I've seen he loves the game! I guess he has other games of the Pokemon series but he has been very entertained with this one.
