Advantages: Such a brilliant game, great fun, never ending!

Disadvantages: Losing a Gym battle!

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 themselves. There are so many more pokemon to chose from in the new games.

Like any other Pokemon games from the Originals Blue and Red when they hit in 1999, Diamond and Pearl offer some brilliant new features, But if you were not into Pokemon in those days you probably would not like it now, but give it a shot anyway!

Pearl starts in exactly the same why as Diamond does as in any other Pokemon game, in his house. And although surroundings and people are different, the story line follows suit to Diamond. For instance the Buildings are nearly all in the same place.

You get to chose from either boy or girl when starting your game and then travel out to pokemon battles and trainers to make your starter pokemon higher. You can pick from Chimchar, Piplup and Turtwig. You in both Diamond and Pearl start from Twinleaf town in the Sinnoh region. You and your friend which you can name anything you wish travel on through Professor Rowans requests to collect as much pokemon and pokedex data as possible for him. Your friend really is competitive so watch out, he can switch on you at times out from nowhere what so ever!

From the bad guys, if you have watched the Pokemon episodes, you might of well seen that the Bad guys are team Rocket, but in the case of Diamond and Pearl the Bad guys are called Team Galactic Grunt. These bad guys are much more strict and tough rather than team rocket in the cartoons for some reason.

Catching pokemon is quite simple, simply walk in to some long grass or what ever bits shade up for you and no sooner will a wild pokemon attack you, you will have to fight back with one of the pokemon you chose, choose from the moves the pokemon styles for instance scratch. Make the wild pokemons HP go down as low as possible, and then if your lucky enough and you have a poke-ball you can capture the pokemon, but make sure the wild pokemons HP is low as possible, otherwise it can break free.

You can trade pokemon from Diamond to Pearl, and so invite your friend over, and send each other pokemon which you cant get in the other game!

The attacking mode is touch screen mode by clicking on the attack move you want, and in general adventure mode its the normal keypad to move around while using a,b,x and y to help you pick up items an stuff.

Overall the Pearl version is a much much more advanced improvement not only to Diamond, but to all the old games such as Red, Blue and Link, Dash, Green... Its a well worth it game for money, and the game should be owned for all DS owners whether young or old, the game is much suitable for all ages that understand the DS technology.

I have to rate the game 5 stars!

Summary: A brilliant Pokemon game
