The long lasting Pokemon game series just got an amazing update.
Making its first venture onto the DS in its original formula. Pokemon Pearl is jam packed with upgrades, small tweaks, and minor additions that will compound on the overall experience.
The touch screen is effectively used as is the dual screen setup, and the DS's power is pushed to achieve what is one of my favorite looking games on the console yet. The visuals are crisp and able to maintain the quality of the sprites better than before. The sound in the game is also improved immensely and you will easily be able to tell the difference between this and the older GB, GBC and GBA games.
I would recommend any fan of Pokemon to import this (especially if you have an understanding of Japanese) and if you aren't ready to being it over from th Land of the Rising Sun, then definitely get it once it comes out in your country.
A+ Material!
EDIT: I would like to also point out that I DO NOT read Japanese. As such I barely understand the inner workings of the story and names of pokemon aswell as options and such. Im just trying my best to get through and I stil beliee everything I said in this review.
