I skipped over the GBA generation of Pokémon games, so I hadn't played anything newer than Silver. I was happy to see that Pokémon games have advanced quite a bit since then.

Pokémon Pearl adds a bit more detail than previous Pokemon games. It remembers what kind of pokéball you catch a pokémon in and is displayed when used in battle. Pokémon move around a bit more in battle and are a bit less static.

While the game is fun, and actually a bit more challenging then previous titles, it gets somewhat repetitive. Though there are many new types of pokémon and there is an ever growing amount on combination types which add a level of strategy that was missing in the older games.

Pokémon Pearl is a great addition to the DS library. While it gets a bit repetitive at times, its still a lot of fun. Having a friend with the game makes the gaming experience a bit better with online battles and trading.

Good Pokemon Game

Strengths: Game is colorful and has good 3D graphics. Storyline is well rounded.

Weakness: Touch-screen controls is a little sluggish. Sounds are repetitive.

Great addition for Pokemon fans. You have the ability to battle and trade pokemon over the internet. There are more than 100 new pokemon to collect. You can use the stylus to select menus during battle which is convenient. Most of all I like the online play which lets you chat and battle as well on the Internet. A fun game overall.

Pearl Rocks

Strengths: Keeps with the traditional Pokemon games

Weakness: Not enough DS support

Pokemon Pearl plays just as it would be a gameboy advance game. I'm in so far for about 5 hours. It's simple to pick up and play and I would recommend for all to play. I like the ability for the using the DS during battle but that is really all the DS supports. I wish it would use more functionallity like Animal Crossing when you are walking.

Pokemon Pearl (DS)

Strengths: Very cool and interesting graphics,the wifis feature enables you to trade pokemon worldwide,had a lot of new features that were very fun and creative like creating poffins for example

Weakness: Not enough fire Pokemon,certain pokemon can only be caught at certain times of the day,cannot trade Pokemon caught from other Pokemon games.

Overall I rate this game a 4 star because ,though it is highly enjoyable ,I was able to beat the game pretty easily.The Pokemon diamond game was much more challenging.
