A Pokemon adventure that may recycle from the old, but is enjoyable nonetheless.

User Rating: 8 | Pocket Monsters Diamond DS
To this day, I still have my copy of Pokemon Diamond. It is a highly enjoyable game, if not a bit repetitive with following the same old formula from previous games. But then again, that's what makes Pokemon what it is: catch Pokemon, challenge Gym Leaders, face an evil organization, and become the Pokemon Master you are destined to be. The story has you going on your Pokemon adventure, along with your rival. You receive a Pokemon form Professor Rowan and are assisted by his siter Dawn (or Lucas, depending if you are a boy or girl) and challenge Gym Leaders all throughout Sinnoh, while facing the evil Team Galactic. As I said, same old cut and paste plot, but I enjoyed it. A whole new group of Pokemon make you want to catch every single one, which is now made easier using the GTS system. Battles can be pretty easy if you have leveled up your Pokemon a lot, but if you haven't, it's going to be a little tougher. Music and graphics are sort of blah to me, but the plot, concept, and difficulty makes it an enjoyable game nevertheless. Once you coplete the game, it gets a little boring, but you still have all the fun of story mode. If you are a Pokemon fan, check it out. If not, rent it, see if you like it.
