 Boring. August 13, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
In my opinion, I found this game VERY boring... I really don't like most of the new pokemon (i mean, have you seen Comby?! Come on!!!) and my favorite pokemon, munchlax, took WAY too much boring waiting to get. I was never a fan of the pokemon games anyway (with the exeption of the Mystery Dungeon games, i love those). All you do is go around battling pokemon and catching new ones. Training is boring, battling is boring, and putting so much waiting to find rare pokemon is just...... boring. And it was much too easy to catch pokemon... I cought the all-powerful legendary pokemon, Dialga (the pokemon on the cover of the game), with an ordinary pokeball. I'm not even kidding! I weakened it, then threw a pokeball... and it caught it. If you liked the old games of just wandering around catching pokemon, you will probably like this too, though.

My son has this game. These are his complaints. You can't catch Palkia in Diamond Version. He doesn't like how Mespirit and Cresselia can flee even if they are sleeping, paralized, etc. and if your Pokemon has arena trap for a pokepower. I guess the bad things don't out weigh the good things because he wants to play the game pretty often. And he really likes Dialga.

The moment that I heard there was a new Pokemon game coming out, I decided to get it--after all, I've been a fan for quite a few years now. When I first played it, I knew immediately that it was worth my while.
Unfortunately, the graphics at first gave me a headache, since I was used to the 2D of my Game Boy Advance. Eventually, though, I got used to it--as a matter of fact, when I played Pokemon FireRed again after some time with Diamond, I found the older game's graphics to be somewhat disconcerting!
As for the storyline--it's the same old, same old. You get one of three starter Pokemon and go off to defeat the Gym Leaders and become the Champion while defeating an evil organization. Even so, the storyline doesn't seem so bad when you learn of the hundred-or-so new Pokemon and moves.
The music is just as good as before; the surfing theme is one of my favorites, taking away much of the boredom of surfing (because it is now much slower than before!).
One thing that I didn't particularly like was the Pokemon cries--they are very complicated and sophisticated, but comparing them even to the cries from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald makes you realize that they're much different, and that leads you to wonder: why would newer Pokemon sound so much different? I don't think that the cries should be equal to the regrettably cheap-sounding cries of Red/Blue/Yellow, but they simply sound almost unfamiliar!
All in all, taking into consideration every bit of this game, I still give it top marks--I might be prejudiced, given that I love Pokemon, but I believe that it's still a very good game.
 A pokemon fan for life! July 9, 2008
Many people think that pokemon should have been done a long time ago. I totally disagree with those who think that. As a teenager I still enjoy battling with pokemon. The game Pokemon Diamond is not much different from the previous games. The thing that really impresses me about this game is the Wi-Fi. The only complaint I had about the other games was that it was really hard to trade. All I really have to do now is leave my pokemon in the GTS and they might be traded overnight. As I mentioned before the gameplay isn't all that different from the previous games. You still have to obtain the eight gym badges and become the worlds greatest trainer. Some people talk a lot about the graphics but for me its not that big of an issue. I think they did a decent job on the graphics. A plus for the game is that you can transfer your old pokemon to D/P. If you don't have the other games this feature may be junk. Also I really enjoy playing with my friends in the union room. Even though it can be a pain if no ones around you. I have traded tons of times with people around the world. I think thats really awsome. The title pretty much says my whole story. If you don't have this game yet, buy it now!
Matt's Pokemon Diamond Review June 23, 2008
This Pokemon game is the best I ever played. This game makes the Nintendo DS shine. It is really fun to battle wild Pokemon and catch them. The most exciting thing to do on this game is catch Diaga. You try to not let Team Galactica catch Diaga. I like battling the Gym Leaders to win a badge. If you like Pokemon you will love this game.
