The best pokemon handheld so far!
Graphics:9/10. Everything looks fabulous, from people, to environment, to the pokemon.
Gameplay:9/10. Choosing an option for battle may seem simple, but the layout and determining your opponens next move is exiting.
Music:8/10. Battle music and route music are catchy, but can get too repetive.
Replay value:8/10. You cannot really replay anything from the storyline, but you can always replay pokemon battles.
Boss/enemy fights;10/10. Battling other trainers can be easy, but could also prove to be a pain in the butt.
Storyline:10/10. I love how it sticks to the plain old "become the very best pokemon trainer that has ever been", but it also has the team galactic plot mixed in.
This sums up the excellent handheld pokemon game that is known as pokemon pearl version.
