User Rating: 9.2 | Pocket Monsters Pearl DS
Pokemon Pearl is the latest Pokemon game and is on the Nintendo DS. It takes place in the new Sinnoh region, and, like in all the other Pokemon games, you must fill up your pokedex and beat the Pokemon league. The gameplay in PP is great, you can use the touch screen for combat, and there are tons of new Pokemon, and lots of extras like fashion competitions etc. The graphics are the best in the series so far. The buildings are actually polygonal, and he game is very vibrant and detailed in terms of battles and characters. The music is great, but alot of the sound is very crackly and sounds like it was recycled from previous games. The game also introduces wireless mode, which can let you trade and battle players all over the world. This is extremely convenient, seeing as you dont have to find a buddy with a link cable to have fun with. In terms of Difficulty, this game can be very easy in the beginning, but as you progress through the game, it can get fairly difficult, especially on the last 5 battles, The Elite Four. Whether this is your first or last Pokemon game, this is a must-have for the DS, and is probably the best on the console.
