Pok?mon Diamond (Nintendo DS)

January 3, 2008 | By Doug In DS |

You might not see the supporting merchandise so much nowadays but Pokemon is still the most successful games franchise in history. Diamond and Pearl sold 5 million copies in Japan in under three months and 1 million in America in just one month, breaking all records for the year and the series. At first sight though this looks disappointingly similar to the existing games, with only a subtle 3D effect for the game world and largely static 2D battles. However the gameplay has undergone a complete overhaul, adding numerous new features and reintroducing others from Gold/Silver/Crystal, that had previously been removed.

The basics are still the same though, as you venture out into the world (called Sinnoh this time) in an attempt to catalogue each and every pokemon and battle the evil Team Galactic. Catching and training a pokemon for combat also works the same as before, although beauty and talent contests have been greatly expanded for those that prefer as little violence as possible. The game includes a day and night cycle, which severely impacts the appearance of pokemon, and you are given a new gadget called a poketch which starts as a simple watch but can be upgraded to everything from a scanner to a map. Secret bases are back and considerably more sophisticated than before but the most important new feature by far is the online mode. You can now trade, chat and battle with fans from around the world - proving that progress is not always just a case of better graphics.

Customer Review: Brilliant
Brilliant cos it has all the good things from the last few games and new stuff like the 3d effect and the poketch which replaces the pokenav from hoenn. Even though the story line is the same as all the other games the new features sort of cancells that out.

Customer Review: Excellent value.
Really good kit for the price. The only things I haven’t used are the thumb stylus (but that’s purely because I prefer the stylus that comes with the DS), and the screen protectors (after reading reviews for many different ones, the protectors with the best reviews are the Official ones, which I’ve found to be really good). If you want to look after your DS, this pack has virtually everything you need and is definitely the one to go for!

Customer Review: addictive for adults or kids
I got my DS as a treat for my hols & really fancied the puzzles rather than midless gaming. It stores several peoples scores so you can share it with family members or mates & see who is the “brainiest” amoung you…its quite addictive & competition can soon break out as everyone wants to increase their score. I definitely wouldnt say its easy to complete & after a few goes you will have “completed it all”…I have played with this an awful lot & getting gold medals in the different categories is no mean feet….its very interesting to see how different each persons brain works…some of the tasks i am brilliant at & some i just cant do properly no matter how hard i train! this is great fun for adults & children alike…definitely i would recommend it
Customer Review: Great Brain Workout — and VERY fun too!
Got this for the kids together with Brain Training. From the childish graphics, I assumed this would be too easy, but I was wrong I love the great variety of games and activities and how challenging they are. Though I also enjoy Brain Training, I prefer Brain Academy because of the variety of activities provided. Ideally, you should get both Big fun for the whole family!
