User Rating: 8 | Pocket Monsters Pearl DS
Pokemon Pearl is a game that manages to carry on the proud name of Pokemon well. You play as a young adventurer who recklessly follows his mate into the woods in search of a professor whose briefcase you have. Suddenly, you are attacked by some local pokemon and are forced to pick one from the briefcase. This pokemon then becomes your constant companion, and you use him in everything from battles to beauty contests. You are then set on a journey to collect pokemon and travel the pokemon world helping those from the evils of the villainous Team Galactic. Many missions involve you battling your way past normal people in order to reach the "bosses" of the level, such as Gym Leaders, and leaders of Team Galactic. The gameplay is great, not differentiating itself from the previous games, and makes it simple enough to pick up and play no matter what skill level you are. The levels are splendid to look at, and the music is jolly enough to have playing wherever you go.
