This is a very fun game, but not without its flaws.

Story: The story is typical of all Pokemon games. You live in a small town in a large region. The local professor decides that it is time for you and your rival to start your Pokemon journey. On the way, you defeat an evil team planing world domination by using a legendary pokemon. You stop them and continue on to defeat the Elite Four and the Champion. As always, the Pokemon Champion is someone that you encountered many times on your adventures. Even though D&P have the same story as every other Pokemon game, it is after the main story that they excel. With a whole new island that has new sidequests and the swarms and the Pokemon Garden, this game has tons to do after the main storyline. Even the gym leaders were fun and the puzzles presented by their gyms were fun, but some puzzles were just annoying. 9/10
Graphics: The graphics are great, giving 2D a 3D look. Each move has its own animation, which are interesting to see.10/10
Sound: Great music, but some of the battle sounds have been recycled, and are a bit repetitive. Battle music will get very repetitive, but other than that, nothing else is wrong with the music. 9.5/10
Overall: This is a great game that I have put more than 150 hours into. If you like RPGs or Pokemon or both, get this game right now.
9.5/10
