Pokemon Diamond Version | Nintendo DS

Pokemon Diamond (along with Pokemon Pearl) are the DS-equivalent of the GB/GBA predecessors. Witht he new dual screen feature, Pokemon only gets easier! Less screen-clutter, and being able to see everything that is going on in combat is a great new way to catch 'em all! Definitely recommended for any Pokemon fan, however, as always, the two versions are exactly the same! So buy either or, just not both!

Back when Pokemon first came out, I was a die-hard fan. Games, show, cards, you name it. Of course, I was a tween back then. Nowadays I still enjoy the games quite a bit, so my sister and I went to get Diamond and Pearl the day it came out. Even though I still have a soft spot for the original Red and Blue(I thought 150 was enough!), I actually think that Diamond and Pearl are the best games yet. I definitely got many more hours of gameplay out of Diamond than any of the previous ones, that's for sure. There is just so much more to do in these. It also makes great use of the DS's capabilities. No more of those annoying game link cables we had to hook up back in the day; now you can wirelessly trade or battle with anyone around the globe! I think this is a great game for kids and adults alike. It does require quite a bit of reading though, like most RPGs, so.. if anyone is thinking of getting this for their child, keep in mind that they will need to have some good reading skills.
