    Pokemon Diamond

    Pokemon Diamond and Pearl is the first "proper" pokemon game to appear on the Nintendo DS, and it is arguably the best Pokemon game yet.

    Pokemon D/P is your normal old school Pokemon adventure it follows the same story as all the other pokemon games did, however they've changed the extremely annoying TEAM ROCKET to the slightly cooler TEAM GALACTIC, but still, not much of a difference is there. One of the main differences here yet again as with any other Pokemon game is the region and the Pokemon, there are yet more Pokemon do discover and catch, whether this is a good thing or not is up to you, some people will be thinking, "WAHOO!!!More Pokemon! Whereas the odd few will be thinking "What, more of them?You've got to be kidding...." I of course am thinking the first one!

    So that's the main bit out the way, it really is just your normal Pokemon game....or is it? Now it's time to introduce the place where D/P really come into there own, the ONLINE play.... It really is fantastic and probably the best online for a Ds game to date! You can battle, trade, chat, and even draw with each other! And that's not even the half of it!

    Like Pokemon Emeralds Battle frontier, this also has an extended story after you've completed the main game. It's not like another bunch of gyms though, it is like a proper extension to the story! You unlock a new area with one enormous mountain, you meet a new character there who will play a big part later on, there's more contests to enter and more Pokemon to catch!(Including a secret Legendary, but i won't tell you because i don't want to spoil the surprise!

    Although as i said before the story is basicly exactly the same as the previous "proper" Pokemon games it does have much more going on and it will be much more dynamic. And there is always something to do! No matter how many hours you put into the game (i've done over 120) your always spoilt for choice!

    All-in-all Pokemon Diamond and Pearl is a great game that will keep you occupied for months on end! It may be like the previous games but with so much extra content does it matter?! 4 STARS!

      Its actually been about nine years since Red and Blue first came out, and spawned the Pokemon craze.  After the fad died down, the cards, the show, the merchandise.  Here we are in the fourth generation of the handheld RPG Pokemon games.  Its actually pretty good.  The game starts off as any other Pokemon game.  Your about to become a Pokemon trainer.  You get to pick between three starter Pokemon, which are always Grass, Fire, or Water types.  Then you leave your hometown and collect badges, th...
