Addictive Fun

I bought this for my 9 year old son. Also bought the Pearl edition for my 7 year old daughter. They share a Nintendo DS and are constantly fighting to use it. Each session has to be time-limited, and they act like they're going through withdrawls when they are not playing. But they have to "earn" playing time through chores and good behavior, which balances out all that fun.
They enjoy talking strategy and comparing the Pokemon they've caught or battled. They've also made it clear that they can trade their Pokemon with each other if they BOTH have a DS. Hmmm...

Anyway, if you don't mind your kids being addicted to a good, clean, non-violent video game (like we were), this appears to be the ultimate for now.

DIAMOND?

People say pearl is better just because of its wimpy palkia. That is so wrong. Dialga isn actually stronger than palkia . Palkias speed is better
but if you use irons on it it is unstoppable. If you want a real team like mine (lv.100 arceus lv. 97 palkia lv.100 dialga lv.99 rayquaza
lv. 100 darkrai lv.94 lugia) try to trick some of your friends to give you
goodies on the gts.

This Can NOT Be Bad At All

Believe me, I'm a pokemon expert. Ask me to name all of the existing pokemon, I can do it. I've read previews in Nintendo Power magazine, and this game will be so good that my parents might just have to confiscate my DS and Pokemon Diamond because I'll play it so much. Five star game. No less.

This game is very enjoyable, what ever you are doing. Wether your doing the storyline, catching all the 490+ pokemon, mining underground with nearby friends, battleing online via Nintendo Wi-Fi connector or router, migrating pokemon from older versions, trading with friends or strangers, hanging out in the union room etc.... The list just goes on and on and on and on.......

This Game is Great!

This is a great game. If you have played a pokemon game before then you will love it as much as someone who has never played one before. It has enough new features make you want to play it even if you have the other pokemon games. It is well worth your money as it will provide hours of fun.
There are very few bad points with it: the touch screen controls can get a bit anoying having to swap between the controls for battles. But that is just a small price for an extremely good game that i would recommend to anyone with new pokemon and a new story.

Gotta Catch 'Em All...Over again!

If for some reason you have never played a Pokemon game before now would be the perfect time to try it out. Pokemon Diamond(and Pearl) for the Nintendo DS is hands down one of the best titles available and its fun for all ages. For the kiddies its got the cute cartoony factor, and for the older serious gamer its got a pretty hardcore turn-based role playing game in there. Veterans of the series will be familiar with the gameplay but will find all the new features (most of which take advantage of the DS's extra screen and WI-FI capabilities) a refreshing addition to the core. Overall, if this is your first Pokemon game or your 10th, you'll love it.

Another Pokemon hit

this game was awesome! with every single pokemon ever made, the highest level elite four yet, and the ability to import pokemon from your old games, this may be the best pokemon game yet! (red version excluded, of course) if you want a great starter, get turtwig and teach it frenzy plant (get from move tutor, leaf storm (get from leveling up), earthquake (get from evolving to torterra, but only at level 32), and giga dain (get from leveling up). the biggest complaint i have against this game is that you can't get an electevire or magmortar unless you bought fire red or leaf green. overall, have fun!

Very Entertaining

I've been playing these games since Red and Blue first came out and it's amazing how far along they've come. It has gone from a flat one-color world with minimal details to a 3D full color world with GREAT details. The graphics really pull you into the game. The only thing I'm not to fond of is the battle graphics. I was never happy with just seeing the pokemon bounch back and fourth and then see the other pokemon blink indicating a hit. In previous games (ex. Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and even the Game Boy Advanced) it was understandable because you can only fit so much data on those cartridges. However seeing how much more data and better graphics is able to be put on these even smaller Nintendo DS cartridges I kinda wish they started working on better battle animations. Like I said, they still just bounce around and blink or glow.... nothing all that entertaining. Now if their attacks actually interacted with each other THAT would be much more entertaining. To me it gets kind of boring (especially those long drawn-out battles that you don't think will ever end) just watching them stand there doing nothing when their attacks look much cooler in your head than in the actual game.

Gameplay follows the traditional pokemon gameplay. You start off choosing one of three starters (water, fire, grass) however the way you end up choosing your starter is similar but still a little different than how you end up choosing your starter in Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald. There are a lot of similarities between Diamond/Pearl and Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald. Enough for you to be familiar with some things and not feel completely lost. However there are PLENTY of new things to keep you suprised and keep the game new.

If you've played any of the older Pokemon games and liked them I strongly recomend getting this one.

this game is awesome
