Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (NDS)

Hi guys today I have a true gem. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl! *cricket noises* okay that was a bad pun and I know it, forgive me. Anyway let's get into this.

Gameplay: Holy flying orange sea otters there is so much stuff in this game! Obviously there is the traditional capture, trade, and battle your pokemon within the game and with friends. There also the rebirth of the pokemon contest where you can dress up your pokemon and compete to see who looks the best in 1 of 5 categories. It seems silly but its really addictive. There's also a mass network of underground tunnels that form a close range wireless home to you and your friends. Here you can build secret bases lay little annoying traps for one another and mine for items. To be honest there are so many things to do in this game. 5/5

Story:
Apparently pokemon games have stories...I mayhave forgotten that due to the fact that they are always the same. Team *something space related* comes abd tries to use uber pokemon to destroy and or rule the world. This time its a group called Team Galatic and they want to remake the world...ignore them. 2/5

Graphic:
It's pokemon so it can't be that good, but surprisingly it is. They really made the most out of the DS without completely changing the style of the series. All the pokemon look cute and cool and they've added subtle differences between males and females. All in all the its a brushed up more 3D version of the previous games. Definately still good. 4/5

Audio:
Pokemon songs are annoying and addictive at the same time. That said the music is all in all good. I've actually sat in a few of the areas and hummed the little tunes. I can't stay they are spectacular but they are pretty nice. 3/5

Replay:
There is so much to do in this game from the battling to dolling up your pokemon to win a contest. I suggest you grab as many people as you can rob something and all get the game cause its just plain fun. 5/5

Overall:
Here it is the final say and this is what I think. Seriously go get some freind and get these games. They are just fun and they get better the more people you play with. Definately a grade A game for the DS I've said it alot but there really is so much stuff in this game and its just simple clean fun. 5/5

I actually conned quite a few friends into getting this game and they said it was the absolute best con I've ever done. Somehow, I just have a natural tendency for getting people into buying games lately. Even if it's something they would never play themselves. I must be convincing somehow. XD

Damnit man! That 'sea otters' comment was perfect for a 'batman\robin' ripoff. As in,

'Holy flying orange sea otters batman! I already caught my first Pokemon!'
'Yes, Robin. Flying sea ott...wait no...what? What do sea otters have to do with it?'
'They swim n', fly n' stuff batman! hey why don't you play?'
'Because robin, I'm the godamned batman.' ^^;;
