Pokémon: Perl (DS)

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are absolutely everything you've come to expect from major Nintendo sequels, and that's probably more for the better than for the worse. You know the routine, right? The company invents a really brilliant idea, then spends the next two decades refining the hell out of it. The resulting succession of games is progressively better with each new release, but rarely will you see any actual risks taken along the way. Twilight Princess was brilliant, but that brilliance hewed closely to the framework laid down 15 years prior in A Link to the Past. Metroid Prime, fantastic as it turned out, was unabashedly Super Metroid gussied up with fancy 3D ...  Read the complete review

Right from first buying this product for £23.99 in Tesco I realised that I had made a good choice. The 4th Generation or pokemon brings along over 100 new pokemon and a brand new storyline which allows the player to advance further in thier quest to become a 'Pokemon Master'. The game also boasts the use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi, whereby you can trade and battle with players across the world. Currently, It has taken me 91 hours of gameplay to get 460 out of the possible 486 pokemon, so no expense has been spared or features to make this game take up alot of my time which I have quite enjoyed. Pokemon Pearl can also be connected to a Wii Console with the pokemon game, Battle ...  Read the complete review

This is a great game, my favourite game at the moment. I am a huge Nintendo DS game fan, and I partically LOVE Pokemon Pearl. This is a probably a good game for ages 10 and up. I am not a fan of pokemon, so I was very surprised when I found that I liked this game a lot. My brother actually bought the game for himself and let me play it when he was done with it. I found that it actually has nothing to do with pokemon other than the fact that they use pokemon characters. This game is so great that it has NO FAULTS!!! I've never play a game with no ...  Read the complete review

As of in the Title Pokemon Pearl is spelt ''perl'' for some reason, but anyhow if I continue to write about that error I wont be giving you any useful information on the game itself! As of all other Pokemon games including dash, and link etc. , Diamond and Pearl as well as Platinum have become the best of them all so far, as all Pokemon fans would desire Diamond and Pearl rather than Link And Dash and all other Pokemon games. The reason being for the liking of Pearl and all new Pokemon games, its because of a more detailed, enhanced, richer presentation, and the ability to trade world wide through world wide over the internet, and of course the main Pokemon ...  Read the complete review

After recently obtaining this game from the States, the experience has been nothing less than awesome. Not properly executed since Gold/Silver, the night/day system is back! Of the new Pokemon introduced (over 100) the time system treats you with new events and Pokemon at different times of the day. The atmosphere is beautifully pulled off, with orange tints to the game in the evening and lights switched on in the building at night. The new Pokemon are a real treat, although you may find some disappointment that you're still getting your Ratatta and Pidgey equivalent in the game, rather than a complete new line-up. But if that's what you know and love, then ...  Read the complete review
