Pokemon Diamond Review

Pokemon-You WILL catch them all again!

First of all, I've been playing Pokemon video games since their inception of Red/Blue/Yellow (back in the day), and this game is really no different for the overall concept. Catch Pokemon, raise them, form your team, catch more Pokemon, etc. Rinse, repeat. That is the worst thing about this game, is that it's virtually the SAME as it was during Pokemon Blue's debut. However, this would be my only complaint. The game is graphically superior to all other hand held Pokemon's to date. I find myself once again hooked to this deviously-titled game, and can't seem to put it down to play my other neglected DS games. My breakdown of this title is below:

Pros:
Pokemon!
Graphically beautiful
Sound quality is excellent
VERY addictive gameplay
New Pokemon to catch and train
New mini games to keep you occupied for days
Wireless functionality to battle your friends (and enemies)

Cons:
Same old, same old Pokemon you remember from it's earlier incarnations

I gave this game high marks (5 stars), as it might be the same old game in different clothing, but why change a good thing? If you like Pokemon, you'll definetely want to get either Diamond or Pearl for your DS. Well worth the wait, and definetely will strain your DS's battery
