Don't expect any ground breaking material but the minor improvements make a great game even better

First i have to say that it was hard waiting for this game. I have to admit i'm not that into pokemon but they make one of the best rpgs. If you have played previous titles such as ruby and sapphire you will definetaly enjoy Diamond and Pearl. They have kept such things as double battles, which you battle with two of your pokemon. And from Emerald they have more pair up battles. They have added over 100 new pokemon and every single one of them are awesome. Since Diamon and Pearl is one the ds you can now take advantage of the touch screen but don't expect anything extrmely fun from using it. The only thing you can use it for is making poffins, using your poketec and selecting battle commands(not much fun but it changes the outlook) Another good thing they added was the time settings. This was a idea used back in the gold and silver days of pokemon and it is better because there are different types of pokemon that come out at night and it will leave you wanting more. I think the best thing about any pokemon game is the length and if you think previous pokemon game were long you should check this one out. On my game i have played for about 20 hours and i have only 3gym badges (i'm kind of slow but i like training my pokemon to the fullest) There is nothing really bad about the game only thing is i think there is a ton of content the could add to the game to make it even more enjoyable. Eventually there will be a pokemon game that will make your jaw drop but now we are going to have to settle with Diamond and Pearl. i donn't mean that in a negative way : )
