Pokemon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum Version

The best Pokemon yet

User Rating: 9.5 | Pocket Monsters Pearl DS

By theonlygamer | Review Date: October 17, 2007

The game has better graphics and new pokemon (about 100) for a total of 483 pokemon. The game is for the DS but mainly uses the touch screen for battles and the pokedex, it would have been cool if you could use the touch screen to navigate the start menu but you cant. Still the game is great and while it has basically the same storyline as other pokemon games, the new locations and pokemon make it fun. And with the ability to migrate pokemon from you GBA games(via the GBA slot) and the ability to trade with people via wifi makes it possible to get all the pokemon without owning all the games and it adds replay value.
