As the sun rises over the Sinnoh Region, children are leaving their homes by the hundreds. They aren't attending school, nor are they running away from tough family situations and domestic abuse. In fact, their parents are waving goodbye from their doorsteps, secretly wiping tears from their eyes and hiding their emotions. They know that they may never see their sons or daughters for months, years, or ever again. Yet they allow the children roam free across the land, exploring every dank cave, wandering through the bustling streets of distant cities, and hopefully learning about life. These kids, many of whom have yet to reach their teens, are starting a coming-of-age journey of a lifetime. They are ambitious, naive, and idealistic. As these eager children sprint merrily out of the humble villages and venture into world, they never suspect the hardships they will face as they fulfill their quest to become Pokemon Masters.

Wait a minute. Why are a bunch of ten-year-olds allowed to ditch their families and put their put their futures on hold? After reaching a certain age, adolescents are obligated to undertake a journey that will supposedly define their place in the world. Forget about an education and getting a summer job; for these kids, their only goal is to become the greatest champions the world has ever known. In order to meet that goal, the kids will have to capture a bunch of animals called Pokemon. Using a bit of high-tech devices and a little bit of luck, they'll be able to snag one of the critters, train them into fighting beasts, then sic them on any other trainers stupid enough to challenge them. Rinse and repeat a few hundred times, and your character will amass an army of these fearsome pocket monsters, wield enough power to smite even the strongest trainers in the land, and become the champion of Sinnoh.

That's assuming, of course, that you can even catch one of the little monsters to add to your team. After obtaining your first Pokemon as a freebie, you'll have to venture forth into the untamed wilds, searching for a prospective target. After a brief flash of light and an onslaught of pulse-pounding music, a feral Pokemon will let out a guttural snarl and attack you. Instead of running away like a little wimp, you summon your loyal pet and command it to attack. After your Pokemon ravages its prey with a flurry of turn-based attacks and whittles its health to the breaking point, you can snatch a PokeBall out of your backpack and fling it toward the enemy. Should the target be weakened enough, it'll succumb to the ball's powers and get crammed within it. Congrats, you've just snagged one of the 480+ Pokemon species in the game! With a new monster enslaved and ready to do your bidding, your six-member team will eventually grow into an empire more formidable than anything ever seen. Indeed, those pathetic Pokemon Gym Leaders (aka wannabe bosses in disguise) won't know what hit them.

Oh, if only it were so easy. While much of this will sound familiar to the veterans of the original Pokemon Red and Blue games, things have changed since the series' humble beginnings. Upon receiving experience points and leveling up enough, your Pokemon will be granted access to a slew of different elementally based moves. See that little monkey with a flames flickering off its ass? It'll eventually evolve into a super-powered primate that can roast his enemies in a hail of firebombs or pound it into submission with a bunch of fighting maneuve

I did not receive the product. The seller was a scammer from Hong Kong. I had to get PayPal to refund my money.

I decided to buy this game for my son.He always loved playing the older pokemon games and had them all.He now enjoys playing his new pokemon Diamond game so much.He showed me that the game keeps track the hours you play and he already 175 hours and 17 min. And he has even caught 272 pokemon already.He said what he loves most about it is that he can trade pokemon from the old Game Boy Advance games on to the new DS games.He said it's an excellent game to purchase and he's very happy to have this game.

To whom it may concern:

If you love pokemon, there is no question that you should buy this game. At the same time, if you like RPG's and related games this is also definitely a game for you. This game is a good length, and has modest replay value. The story is moderately interesting but the gameplay is stellar. Definitely check this game out!!!!!

Has a 3d feel to it and wifi is awsome you can catch tons of new pokemon plus old favorites!!! you can transfer pokemon from previous pokemon games onto this game


.

After purchasing and playing this game I can say that it is just as if not more fun than its predecessors. With that said, it is very similar to the other games, same formula in other words. Start out with one of 3 types of pokemon, raise and catch all different types, catch all pokemon in existence, challenge gyms, become the best, oh and also thwart an evil organizations plans. If you liked the others then you will like this game, if your looking for something entirely new its not for you, but it seems to have just enough new in it to satisfy a pokemon kick. I definitely recommend.

I am writing this from the perspective of the father of a 7 year old who got the game. I won't be telling you about the graphics (very good), the gameplay (err! no idea) but just my impressions of what my son thinks of it.

Any parent will tell you how good a game is by identifying certain criteria:

1. It's 3 weeks since Christmas and he's still playing with it

2. He talks about it in a happy and excited voice (all the time)

3. He was able to quickly overcome any frustrations he was having

4. He wants his parents to play it too because it's just THAT much fun.

He only gets a small amount of media time each day but he seems to be making progress through the game AND the DS hibernates so he doesn't have to reach a certain point before he can save. This last point is very important to him and us when it comes to managing media time.

I hope this helps in your decision making process.

This game is tons of fun and a great buy. Cool new pokemon and many new places to explore and compete in. Pokemon Diamond is a traditional Pokemon RPG that takes place in a region called Sinnoh.
In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon's myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region by utilizing these two Pokemon's power. During your adventure to complete your Pokedex and become the Champion, these two Pokemon, and Team Galaxy, will intertwine into the story and lead you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.

When you set off on your travels, you'll be able to play as either a boy or girl Trainer. You will also utilize the DS's dual slots to transfer Pokemon from the GBA Pokemon games and be able to link up with Pokemon Ranger to access more special content. Pokemon fans have caught glimpses of Mime Jr., Lucario, Munchlax and Weavile in Pokemon movies, and these Pokemon will be debuting in this adventure.

I got this game for my first game and it was worth it. It's great.The game seems like it goes on forever which is great!

This was purchased as a Christmas gift for this year. My son already has it, My daughter wanted it so they can play simutaniously. If you're a pokemin fan, I understand this game is awesome!

I just got Diamond about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I have to say this is the best Pokemon game I have ever played and the largest library of monsters than any game EVER made. I really didn't believe some of the things that I have heard about this game, they sounded too surreal and good to be true. I really enjoyed playing Pokemon Diamond.

I think it’s a perfect game, really extraordinaire but then again that’s me being a Pokemon Fan for years. They couldn't have done much to improve Diamond, it’s that good. I love going underground, that is truly spectacular. The graphics for the whole game was absolutely wonderful.

What I thought was very cool was the use of Wi-Fi which meant I could play it online against people worldwide. I also liked the Wi-Fi clubs. The voice chat is just so cool. I’ve really liked all of the Pokemon games so far. But this game was probably the best. The new legendaries are wicked, it’s cool looking and pretty awesome in battle. I LOVE this game.

For all Pokefans this game is just hard to put down. I highly recommend this game for any and every one with a Nintendo DS/ Lite, this is one game that you can just pick up, learn, play, and enjoy playing for hours and hours. There is just SO much to do on this game, it’s like all the Pokemon games in one with extra new features I can actually confidently guarantee you that you will love this game.

Last But Not Least I Rate This Game 10/10 Overall.

This game has a slightly different feel as opposed to older games, in a good way. First when I started up the game, I was greeted about the same as before, asking you if you are a boy or girl and your name and stuff. After that, you head out into the Sinnoh region. The exciting thing about this game is the depth, gameplay, length of play and extras. If you keep playing, you can play for hours, days, weeks, months, years (depending on how often you play) and you won't get bored. Nintendo does a great job in making the Pokemon games exciting. You probably know all about the other games, so I won't comment on them. The new features in this game are you can transfer games from the good ol' Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald and Fire Red / Leaf Green into "Pal Park" and actually have them on your team in Diamond and Pearl, and you can go into the Sinnoh underground, which is a 10,000 word review on its own with all the wireless features and new, exciting things that use the touchscreen, and contests are back. They are back, and they are better.

I highly recommend purchasing this game!

I rteceived the game in a timely fasion. It was a Christmas present for my son, I was afraid it would not arrive in time but it only took a couple of days. Thanx.

The game is great and it was just as described in their description. The game works great and their is nothing wrong with it and they also shipped the item fast and i recieved it quick. This is a great product!

I bought this item for my grand-daughter. It was a game she wanted for her Nintendo, I found it on E-bay cheaper than any where else I had looked. It was convenient, the price was right, I shopped from my computer chair and didn't have to move. The shipping was fast, she got her game and I got a big hug, that made it all worth while. Thanks E-Bay.
