Pokemon Pearl

In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon's myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region by utilizing these two Pokemon's power. During your adventure to complete your Pokedex and become the Champion, these two Pokemon, and Team Galaxy, will intertwine into the story and lead you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.

Pokemon Pearl and Diamond are the first two Pokemon RPG's to be released on the Nintendo DS. The game is the first of the RPG series to introduce 3D graphics and man they do look great for a DS game. Pearl lets you explore the Shinoh region. New Pokemon are presented in the game so go ahead an catch em all. The game provides some touch screen features that can be used in and outside of battles. Also if your using the original DS and you have a Pokemon for the gameboy advance. It is possible to trade which is an awesome feature if you ask me. These sorta games aren't meant for reviews because their just so awesome that it all can't be explained and could only be understand by playing the game. If your a huge pokemon fan and own a DS or even a 3DS. This game is a great classic and plus it has Wifi battles how awesome is that.

I really liked this game. I wouldn't say it is better then Pokemon Red, Blue, or Yellow, but this game is still really good. The music is great, some of the best music in the series. Thanks for reading my short review. :)

I have Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon Sapphire but this game is amazing! There are many new pokemon and when you get the National Dex you can catch pokemon from Sapphire AND FireRed if they are plugged into a DS. I recommened this to all gamers and Pokemon fans.

I think that this game is great. It's a well rounded game that has a decent lasting appeal. The Pokemon are cool and fun to collect, and there is alot more to these games than what some people might think, like EV's and IV's. I would recommend this game to anyone wanting something to do on a ds.

I tried to no avail, but... well, there's too many to catch. Anyways, this game is really fun to play, especially when you're catching a whole bunch of new pokemon. Battling a whole bunch of new trainers were also one of the fun perks of this game as well. If you're a pokemon fan, then I suggest you play this and try to catch them all. Seriously. Try it.

Being older, I don't care much for pokemon anymore. However, I still get out my Pearl, Saphire, and Soul Silver to play just for kicks. This was the first "true" pokemon game on the "new" nintendo consoles, and in my opion, the best. With new pokemon,( Not like the wierd one's in pokemon black and white.) new story, new region, and new professor, you just know it will be good. My complaints for Pearl are small. It seemed the difficulty was a bit high for some( Still trying to complete that natinal dex...) and that the region was a bit to...uh...vast. Minor complaints forgotton, this is a treasure for all who like Action and/or turn based rpg's. Don't miss out on it!

I looked back at my review for Pokemon Pearl version and I realised I went way to harsh on the game. Even though I gave the game a 9, I was way to busy in pointing out that it was my least favorite Pokemon game in the main series and righting about all of its flaws. So here is a short re-review. First off, the games sound is not all that bad. Sure, it does sound all little off from all the other Pokemon games and the Pokemon do sound very techno-ish, but it really is not that annoying. Plus, most of the new Pokemon are pretty cool. I also like how the game was actually kind of challenging, and the Pokemon league was pretty tough to beat. The one thing I am staying true to my old review is the slower than usual gameplay. The game moves very slow mainly do to the slow animations of the Pokemon and long awkward waiting times after each move. However, it never gets to the point where it is just not fun. CONCLUSION: Why I said in my old review that I would give this game an 8.9, I don't know. My true rating for this game would be around a 9.3... and all other versions I would give about a 9.8 (Gold, Silver, Cyrstal, Black, White) to a 10 (Blue, Red, Yellow, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald). So while I was a little to harsh on the game before, I still recomend it because it is a fun, challenging, and creative Pokemon game. So... that's about it.
