OK, when I first heard of pokemon I thought it was the craziest idea and nobody anywhere would like it. And I myself doubted it would ever be fun. I thought it was just plain weird. But one day I saw my cousin catch a Buizel, and every time a wild pokemon appeared I said "Battle it! Please!" Finally I bought it and set to work, playing it for so long that I caught Dialga and was on my way to the Pokemon League while my cousin, who'd had it for a year, was far behind. I managed to guide a few people thru Mt. Coronet, and people at school ask me how to get thru the game. I will never stop playing it and NEVER sell it. It is the best game I've ever seen in my life! Pokemon Platinum has the same story except that Giratina is the main legendary, so they are both amazing, no matter what. I've been playing LeafGreen and Emerald, and neither are close to as good.

OK,when I first heard of pokemon kids my age were collecting the cards like CRAZY The're still collecting them! Back then I loved the show and I still do! But when I got my DS it totally changed me. I was starting to become a game FREAK.My starting game is the game I am talking about right NOW pokemon diamond I thought it was the sickest game ever!I thought nothing would ever come close besides pokemon pearl and pokemon platinum.

Again the same formula is applied, the scenario is even worse, the 4th generation has plenty ugly Pokémon, but the game mechanics are EXTREMELY GOOD. The physical/special is applied to moves instead of types, and strategy is on a really high level on this one. There's nearly every Pokémon from every generation, so you can spend hundreds and hundreds of hours searching them and making them evolve. It never gets old. Reading is IMPOSED to fully enjoy the title. Aside from that, everybody can play to Pokémon without minding being offensed or whatever.

Fine but I believe this game is not for ages 7. They can easily get habits like thinking about monsters and pretend throwing a pokeball. Yes it can be humorous, but it can get quite annoying for parents and older siblings. The graphics are approving, but some need improving on other stuff. This game is a bit worth it, but really fun to battle with others!

My friends got me into Pokemon so I picked up this game, thinking I'd get bored of it. Ends up it is really fun! I love catching pokemon and doing other activities on it. It is excellent.

my bro got this game n when i was his age i played the games. he asked me for help n i actually got in 2 it again. i felt like a nerd but sum of my friends played it n thn i gt into it. its a fun game n when u have an action reply its so much fun. the wifi is fun 2

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl is not as good as the other Pokemon games, which I would give five stars. The Pokemon Company was just figuring out how to make a game on the DS, but they later made Platinum, HG/SS, and B/W which were better. It also concerns me that the heroine has a mini dress that doesn't even cover herself.

It's a pretty cool game.
