Turtwig Kicks Butt

User Rating: 9 | Pocket Monsters Diamond DS
Ok so this game dropped sometime last Spring and I was thinking about not getting it at first because i was "too old," thank God I saw the kid in me, but not like Michael Jackson, and decided to buy the game. It was pretty much like the previous games in the past which is actually a good thing because this franchise followed me since I used sippy cups and had trouble reading, no not five months ago, which shows how good the gameplay is. The new pokemon are cool, especially Turtwig, and the game has a new look to it which helps it a little. Gamespot really hit this review right on and said pretty much everything that I would have said. The game is tremendously long but if you are like me and put it down after getting one or two gyms in pick it back up because it gets so addicting. I probably beat three fourths of the game in four days because it really sucked me in. The sound still, in my opinion, is annoying but honestly i usually don't expect good sound from pokemon games minus a few humorous pokemon sounds, especially the one that sounds like a fart. All in all, if you are an old fan or newcomer this game is awesome because it takes a familiar game adds new twists and makes heroine in the DS form. Since the game is so familiar and Gamespot did a solid review that is all I have to say.
