Pokemon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum Version

A breath of fresh air into an almost out dated franchise.

Well, i remember th days...like7-4 years ago when i was in year 3 to 6, we played pokemo, and i was the king, then we all forgot about it, i tried coloseum, but thats boring, so i thought, pearl is on a handheld, so is gotta be the old stlye i knew and loved, it is and its better.

Graphics: major improvement, looks great, and so do the new pokemon (most of the names suck tho)

Sound: great, some parts are monotonous tho =-Þ

Gameplay: great story, but more or less the same old stuff.
the gyms are harder, so's elite 4.

touch screen: mostly useless, and underused for what its used for. If you like pokemon, buy it, if you dont know, try it, if u hate it, dont buy it.
