The Bad
Having to attend nintendo events just to get certain pokemon, Not being able to get all pokemon off just the one game and no central change in the story
Pokemon is truly living up to the test of time. Once again game freak delivers a excellent pokemon game. While it still has the same formula as the others, it still pulls it off.
The story is your a 10 year old Boy/Girl and you go with your friend and rival to check out the lake for a rare pokemon and end up getting a starter pokemon while defending yourself. From there the story starts and you end up doing the same thing as the other games, Get 8 badges from different towns and go to the pokemon league and beat the champ. While i make this sound boring it is still entertaining and now that the pokemon games have moved from gameboy/Advance to DS it uses the touchscreen very effectively).
The graphics are improved from the Gameboy/Advance games which is expected, the pokemon move when first brought into battle but after that they are pretty much stationary in their position. The pokemon look visually apealing which is great.
The gameplay formula hasn't changed since Red/Blue/Yellow but why change something that obviously works. They have gone the next step with pokemon contests with fashion accessories (i, personally don't care about contests). Pokemon can only have 4 moves which is basically all you need but it would be good if they could have more.
The bad things about Pokemon Diamond: Like all pokemon games the thing that really annoys me is you actually can't get all of the pokemon unless you trade with friends or have 2 DS's and have all the pokemon games after and not including the Gold/Silver/Crystal. The other thing is you can't get pokemon like mew and celibi unless you go to a nintendo event (Why would they do that). I know it's a way for them to make money but come on that is the very definition of being greedy.
All and all this game would get a higher grade from me if you could get all the pokemon off the one game but it still ranks up as number 1 in my favourite ds games.
