Presentation Though the game keeps a modest approach in visual and audio, the design goes even deeper for DS owners. Graphics The team purposefully stuck with imagery that stays close to the GBA style. 3D is used throughout, but if you're looking for impressive visuals you're not going to get them. Sound Pokemon still screech with the flair of the original Game Boy. Tunes are more advanced, though not much beyond GBA quality. Gameplay The already proven, very addictive Pokemon RPG and battle core is here, enhanced with DS elements like touch-screen control and internet play. Lasting Appeal It's a good 40-plus hours of adventuring and bulking up your team, and then you've got near endless play over wireless and Internet. You can even use the game as a VOIP phone.Read full review
This game has a good storyline and good graphics, though the story and improved features of Platinum version are better. It's very affordable, and a good game to use if you want to fool around with cheat packs. Definitely a good starter game for Nintendo DS, and easy enough to restart and play again if you get bored with it.

I, for one, am not a pokemon fan at heart. I was told to buy it and play it, so I did--expecting entirely to get a few hours into the game and tossing it into a soon-to-be-dusty corner. Didn't happen. If you have any interest in renewing your interest in Pokemon games, I would recommend this one. If you've played Diamond, I do not recommend it; it's basically the same game--verbatim. If you're bored and want to try a game that doesn't require and/or cause intensive attention or fanatical obsession (Come on, you know at least one game comes to mind with that idea.) then this is probably a good idea. It doesn't require any previous knowledge of the story line (Try playing some other sequel games without knowing what's happening!) which is a very positive detail in my book, considering I haven't played any of the games since Red. The only real qualm I have with the game is that it plays like a Game Boy game, not a DS game. The touchpad is usable, some rare times even the only way to do something (such as moving between the poketch applications, which are explained in-game), but for the most part the directional pad and the x/y/a/b buttons are just about all you need. Over all, though, it's a decent game for most age groups, as long as the player isn't overly concerned with the social implications of playing a pokemon game (or any RPG-based video game, for that matter) in the first place.Read full review
New completely interactive version of pokemon. The graphics i found arent so pixally, theres new hidden mini games, and an underground cave system which i thought was pretty cool i spend hours collecting spheres! : In this version you also have the choice of being a male or a female, and theres alot of different pokemon i didnt see in any of the advance games. Also, the " bike " has a gear option, where you can choose from 4 speeds, as well as being able to use teleport, flash, and a few other special moves without having to get the certain gym badge. [you do still need them for the HM moves] All in all the game is great, it's fast playing, the picture quality is amazing, and theres ever more stuff to do. [like dressing up your pokemon for pictures with the new acessory bags, and not to meantion the new trainers watch with all the little features is great too!] Im 22 and enjoyed playing it.. but my husbands 6 year old loves the game as well.. great for all ages. 5/5Read full review
My first introduction to the Sinnoh region. I am still only on the road towards my second gym badge, and wow - I am not disappointed! With a wonderful soundtrack, and graphics that may not be as polished as the next generation's - but make me woozy with nostalgia. If you are already familiar with the series, but have not tried this gen of games yet - do yourself a favour and try it!
