i love it. it seems strange that almost all of my friends have this game in their car, always playing it on the phone, and calling me to tell them they caught groudon or something. but still, its educaational (or at leats teaches strategy and patience) has good messages about saving the world and you can be strong by lovbing your pokemon, and is pretty easy, execpt for the skill course onn pokeathalon wich is rigged and stupid. but you might get teased and beaten up at school for it if you 4th grade+.

i think its a VERY good game. ive loved these games 4 as long as i can remember. the pokewalker is a very good move 2 get kids off thier couch if they did'nt lose it like i did. those who played Gold and Silver in 1999 will love to play it again with all the new features. parents however, will have to give the advertisment lesson 2 kids first. this is another large chunk of pokemon franchise. other than that, this is just like any other pokemon game

I Like this Game The Glitches Are funny and the story is about "Saving Johto\Kanto From Team Rocket" Although You Have Caught Pokemon From Thier Natraul habitat They Eventully Start To like You

love the game plus theres so much to do.

This game is awesome. But it has worn out over the years...

Good for younger kids

These games are the best in the Pokemon series. They exceed the others in just about every way from controls to sound to graphics. There is nothing to worry about except for some very mild violence. The games are turn-based RPGs, so if you don't like slower-paced games, these are not for you. They are somewhat long and fairly challenging when you're just playing through the story, but if you're looking to fill your Pokedex (like me!) you'll be looking at well over 100 hours of gameplay. The new Pokewalker accessory, which comes with the game, is cool and has actually got my lazy butt off the couch (though you could just shake it instead of actually walking). Altogether, these are the best of Pokemon and rank among the best games for the DS (or any other system, for that matter!)

Unless your one of those crazy parents who thinks Pokemon is violent, its a good game for all ages. It is NOT for babies, I have a seventeen year old cousin who still plays Soul Silver with me every time we hang out. The pokewalker is a great idea too, but I lost mine a few months ago and im looking around the house for it. Overall it is a great game that can be a little hard in some parts.

Okay, My 4 year old bro has platinum version. My 7 year old bro has diamond. And I have platinum and heartgold with the pokewalker. The game its self is not violent. But it can lead to violence in the real world like if you won't give someone a certain pokemon, they will punch you. I said I would give him a Craindos Using Multi-Card Play, But then I changed my mind and he smacked me, that sucks, and he got grounded from his ds for 2 weeks. Also, there is no language in the game, it's a problem with my 7 year old brother anyways. Whenever he loses to me in a battle I say "You did a good job" then he says "Shut Up You A*****e, no one likes you f****n b***h". He got grounded for a month that time. Also, there is some issues in the game, Some trainers messages aren't positive, Like "Lance" the dragon tamer. I lost to him in Cianwood City, He was trying to impress a wild pokemon, Suicune. He said "Hahaha loser, now i got me a pokemon!" and then i blacked out on the game. Yeah and because of that the game doesn't have very good role models. I think my little bros have picked up and thing or two from those games. And now they get into fights every day. Plus Adults play these games too. I think they are addicted to their childhood memories, so they keep playing the game. Or it's something like that anyways. -KINGMJD1
