Sadly I think the test of a good game is if you play it every day for atleast 3 days. Pokemon Pearl started good but I just couldnt be bothered to get to the first Gym.
I still remember the day I got pokemon blue though after begging my mum (I was probably aroundn 13 at the time). Such a good day, played it for hours and hours. (My mum made me do a boss on Zelda OOT for that). |

Each to their own. Final Fantasy VI took my attention away from this even though it's old and I've half completed it on an emulator.
Also; cant replace slitherlink for the DS slot :( |

If you;re someone who loves the series or someone looking to get into it, an 8 or a 9 is probably appropriate in my opinion. They're as addictive as ever, and capturing a new Pokémon and levelling it is still good fun.
That said, for people who simply enjoy the games rather than obsess over them (Not that's there's anything wrong with being into the series, I should add), the only thing that really entices are the online options. Everything else is a bit like putting some slightly different salad cream on the same bit of lettuce that you've been eating for the previous month. Still tasty, but it gets a little boring after a while.

Guys, just an honest question:
I haven't played any Pokemon games, although i love the cartoon, and owned Nintendo consoles since N64 AND GBA. (Now i'm on my Wii and DS, along with others). If i go out and buy Diamond/Pearl, will i "get it", or do i need to play the previous games? Can you suggest a way for me to get "initiated"? Thanks! |

The DS is many, many people's first console. Pokemon is the most aggrssively marketed game on the system already. The majority of fans seem to want more pokemons to collect, with a few revisionist dissenters, while new players (such as myself) welcome the fact that we're not missing anything that has made the series good in the past with this first iteration on the DS.
I'd done a couple of hours on Emerald, and if it is EXACTLY THE SAME on DS save for obvious enhancements I'll be very chuffed. |
