Won't be able to put it down!
When I first got Pokemon Diamond my brother got Pearl the same day so we were trading and battling before we even had decent Pokemon in out boxes!! Multiplayer consists of various rooms to chat and interact in and battle fields to fight either alongside your friends or ageist them. What surprised me the most was the new variety of Pokemon that was available for you to catch! I would have to ask my brother what Pokemon it was and what it did!!! Another good thing about the game is the way each town is mapped out! It gives you a lot of wide open space and provides you with pleasant images!!!
The thing that impressed me the most in this game was the story line!!! Let me tell you, i was hooked from the second I walked out of my house and started my adventure! On this game your character (Boy or girl) Has to interact with the Cpu's in the story; i really don't mind but at some point it really gets annoying when you finally make it to the next town and trying to got to the Pokemon center when your "Friend" in the games pops out of who knows where and forces you to battle!!! At some point I found my self asking....."What type of friend is he when all he wants to do is battle you?"
Other than that extreme unfair circumstance this game is pretty lenient on the players; by having gym leaders and trainers use weak moves like quick attack and growl!!! Other than a few upgrades this game reminds me of any other Pokemon game to date so it shouldn't be that hard to get the hang of. Controls are simple enough with A to accept and B to cancel, Y to use which ever item you equipped there and X to open the menu with your back pack and save screen. The touch screen can be used to tinker with the many upgrades of your Poketech watch and Battle commands!
All in all this Pokemon game will have you coming back for more even after you've beat the game with it's 2 player action and WIFI settings!! Pokemon Diamond is defiantly a game to pick up and try!! Oh…and to all you hard core Pokemon fans…you wont be disappointed!!!!
