User Comments about the Pokemon - Diamond Version

I was pleased to receive his game so quickly and my son loves playing his game.



Anyway, the more you play, the more you learn; with the help of sites like the famous serebii.net you can look up which attacks your Pokemon will get when it reaches a certain level and plan an ultimate moveset. This is the first Pokemon game I ever played. OK. I don't battle over WiFi (except with my husband and son) so I'm not into training and equipping 'killer' level Pokemon. And of course we watch the shows). I'm 44 years old and female. Most of that extra 600 hours was battling. This game has a great pace, fun to learn, and still lots of things to keep me entertained after all this time.


I've got all 490 Pokemon (or whatever the final count is) and am working on getting my faves to lv. This game is SO addicting. (Previously my young son had played Pokemon Stadium on the N64 and Colosseum and XD on the GameCube, but I didn't really pay attention to it. I bought it when it first came out; completed it in May of 2007, and have logged an additional 600 hours breeding, training, and battling Pokemon. 100.


My son loves pokemon and already has the pearl version. So he is very happy to have the diamond version now.Thank you



Familiar and new gamers will find this game easy to pick up.


I picked up this in part as a fan of the game franchise and in part as a companion to my daughters Pearl game.


As I said in the beginning of this review I have played every game in the franchise and can say this is easily the best yet.


I have played every generation of this franchise and this is certainly the best.


The inclusion of the touch screen greatly increases playability and makes handling menus a breeze.


I think the ability to catch pokemon from Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Fire Red, Leaf Green is a great idea.While there are certainly still drawbacks as mentioned before the music is somewhat limited and the visuals do not make full use of the DS capabilities, though considering the grand scope of the game it is forgivable.


It makes great strides in advancing the series by reintroducing the night and day system and bringing back a plethora of Pokemon from Gold and Silver.


In future iterations it would be nice to see a little improvement.Overall the great gameplay and impressive number of catchable pokemon (over 450) make this one of the best pokemon games to date.


I highly recommend this game to kids and and experienced gamers alike.A+



My son loves to play this game. Parents be aware.these games get lost/misplaced easily because of their small size.
