 Really fun game! May 1, 2007

I picked up this game because I was looking for a new DS game to play and I had enjoyed Pokemon on the GBA and GBC. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much better this game was than those I had played in the past! The graphics are much better, there are MANY places to explore, and best of all, with only a DS wireless connector, you can play with people all over the world.
In addition to the challenge of collecting over 400 Pokemon, which alone will take you days on end, there are many other fun activities. There are contests to enter with your Pokemon in which you are rated in various areas, such as visual and dance (the dance competition is like a mini-DDR). You can cook Poffins, which are like candy you can feed to your Pokemon so that they will do better in competitions. You can also go underground, build and decorate a secret base, dig for treasure and play a "capture the flag" game with your friends.
My only warning is that you will definitely lose track of time while playing, so make sure to keep the digital watch app of your Poketch turned on as often as possible.

I love this game. It's so much better than the other pokemon games. The graphics have a cool effect in that they "pop out" at you. The poketch is cool to. It's a clock, calculator and other stuff. The legendaries are much cooler than the other games. They are VERY detailed. The touch screen has a lot of uses but only at your choice. You can play the exact same way without it. Some of the battles are a tad harder than the others and may have you starting over. My personal fav. pokemon in this game is the evolved form of bidoof. My friend has one and he named it Tim so that's just what I call it. And the other pokemon are cool too. Way cooler than the other games. For instance Bastiodon? All in all Pokemon Diamond is a must buy for pokemon fans......who have a DS

I got a japanese version of this game for chistmas. It is alot like pokemon fire red and leaf green, but the legendaries are alot like ruby and sapphire. There are like 15 legendaries, alot for one game. You still have to pay money if you lose in a battle, just like fire red, and the elite for have lv 55-70 and higher! If you want a head start on picking a good starter a heads up is that the first gym is a rock gym, the monkey sucks here. I rated this game 4/5 because It is japanese.

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.

Take note that this is the newest edition of Pokemon that was released on Sunday, April 22, 2007... I pre-ordered this on Wednesday, April 18, 2007, received my package with Pokemon Diamond in it yesterday (Wednesday, April 25, 2007), and...
I love this game thus far!!!!!!! The graphics are awesome, the day/night scene makes a gr8 comeback,you get something called a Poketch in the game that lets you keep track of the time, the pokemon in your party, it has a calculator,etc... I could go on and on about this game for hours lol. It's actually like Ruby Sapphire Emerald, and Pokemon Crystal rolled into one game!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!! I've only had this game a day and already my Prinplup is in the mid-20's as of what level it's on! Sometime this summer or maybe even around Christmas, I may go back and get Pokemon Pearl, or after I beat this game, I might start a new game all over again and check out what the other starters are like. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this game! I should warn you though, it took me three tries before I defeated the second gym leader... but I finally managed to beat her... otherwise I love this game... in fact I'm gonna go back and play it right now! OK, like I said in one other Pokemon game review, I am now an eighteen and a half year old Pokemon fan, about to turn 19 in June. I guess you could call me a kid at heart, even though there are such things as adult Pokemon trainers... I don't know if I'll ever grow out of this phase... who knows, when it comes to video games, maybe I won't... I'll probably be playing games like this one for a long time!!!!!!
