Of course, there's also the ability to access Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and battle and trade online. The amount of PC Boxes in this won't even hold that many. Yup, one thousand nine hundred seventy-two (again, it's a little less because of gender-less Pokemon) different Pokemon forms to be collected. How high does it blast off again? 1,972 (it's a little less because of gender-less Pokemon). With a shiny version of each Pokemon, and new gender differences within species, that number skyrockets (pardon the anime pun). Nonetheless, there are 493 different species of Pokemon. Who the moron up at Nintendo was that decided that it was better to NOT make it an even 500, I'll never know. Pretty soon, you'll be battling other Pokemon Trainers, leveling up those little dudes in the Pokeballs, and fighting Gym Leaders for their badges.Ĭ'mon people, it's a Pokemon game, you should already know that it has near-endless replayability. Yeah, I know, it could never happen, but it's a video game, just go along with it.īeing the typical Pokemon-style RPG, you'll start out with your choice of a Fire, Grass, or Water type Pokemon, quickly receive your Pokedex, and work your way up from there. You play as some random kid who gets a Pokemon from the Professor, and happens to become the greatest trainer in the region (this time, it's called “Sinnoh”), all the while thwarting the evil crime syndicate – Team Galactic. I personally prefer not using it, but that's just me.Īnyway, the main game is pretty much the same old, same old. The lack of ability to use the touch screen for basically anything may or may not appeal to you, the reader. For the most part, that second little monitor on the bottom of the DS is used for polishing Gym badges, playing mini-games, and (optionally) choosing attacks in battle. It's true, I've never been totally thrilled on the touch screen (though the WiiMote is starting to grow on me), and so the little use of the touch screen came as a relief for me. I would seriously recommend buying a set of ear phones for this game (or a DS Headset, which helps when doing voice chat on Wi-Fi, though the quality isn't as good as with a set of ear phones). For the most part, old tunes have only been sped up a little bit (well, there are an additional few notes in the Pokemon Center, think beach/island kind of music). Now, at first, you may think, “WHAT? They changed the Pokemon Center music?! NOOOO!!”, but as soon as you hear it, you'll know that it's better. They've completely re-done most (if not all) of the familiar themes that we've gotten used to over the years. Well, there's really no point batting around the bush, so I'll just come out and say it. Nintendo definitely put more effort into little details for this generation of Pokemon. Although the vast majority of the game is rendered in 2D, there are a good amount of 3D objects (mostly buildings, but other architecture is not uncommon). Pokemon Diamond pushes the visual abilities of the Nintendo DS to its limits. Pokemon Diamond is quite possibly (and more likely probably) the best of the series. This time around, there are 107 new species to catch, trade, battle with, whatever you'd like. Pikachu, Charmander, and the rest of the gang are back and better than ever.
