Pokemon Diamond and Pearl - an exceedingly exciting game, with no end to the adventure and fun you can participate in. Although people are becoming the newest Pokemon games! Why? Because they never get boring, and the creators always think of new features that will entertain the players. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are no exceptions in this superb Pokemon game! Nintendo has added various new features and Pokemon to this game, which I will be discussing in this review.
This review will start from the beginning. In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl you create a character, by firstly deciding if they are a boy or girl, and secondly choosing the name of your character. Secondly, you can choose the name of your rival, who you will often fight along the way. After this, you adventure the Sinnoh Region. But what is the goal? There is various goals in Pokemon, and your goals depend on person to person! That is what makes this game so fun! Most would say their goal would be to explore the region, get the eight badges from the eight gym leaders and after that have the ability to go to the Pokemon league and win, to become the champion! Others would say their goal is to win the master contest with their Pokemon, or to complete their Pokedex. But really, it is up to you! You may have a goal to get a Lucario to level 60 or a Pikachu to level 25. It is your choice, and that is one of the greatest things about Pokemon. And in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, their are more goals, such as finding the flags underground which you can steal, and return to your base or to complete a Pokedex three times bigger than the first Pokedex! Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are clearly becoming more advanced and sophisticated, which makes the game extremely fun, and harder to play and win! Which is, of course, one of the many reasons Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl is a great game to play.
This game has enhanced graphics too, which adds to the quality of the game. With a more 3D styled view, and more detailed objects, the atmosphere in Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl is amazing! Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl also has remixed music in the battles and many new amazing music tracks to listen to as you explore and aim to become the Pokemon master. The storyline in Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl is also extremely exciting and you will want to keep playing to know what is coming up next, which is a great quality in this game. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl is a game I would recommend for everyone of all ages, because I believe it is an enhanced version of the previous games, that will never be "completed" as you will always have something to do!
