Nintendo and Game Freak have brought Pokemon to the DS in the form of a very well rounded package with a pocket full of new features and upgrades. Sticking however, to the core look and feel recipe of all previous releases, Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;masters can look forward to over 100 new Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon and 25 older ones that you will fondly remember, sharper graphics, improved tunes, modified game play, a new yet familiar story line and a whole new world to explore. Find out more, after the jump. Working very nicely with the built in real time clock, "Sinnoh" is the name of the new region where the game begins, and players start out by choosing whether to play as a boy or girl during the journey to becoming champion. Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon veterans will immediately feel at home with the layout and graphics of the game, however refined, to be classic Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon with town scenes and interaction with locals remaining minimal and cute. In the wild, a nice improvement is that in previous games, it seemed almost impossible to take 3 steps without being assaulted by one or other Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;vermin lurking in the wild, and the "run away" feature didn't always work, leaving you with knocked out Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon before long, however in Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon Diamond and Pearl, this is slightly less of an issue, and the option to "run away" is much more effective, leaving you to be on your merry way. Battles with Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon are laid out very much the same, however, the Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon and their attacks have been animated nicely and the touch pad controls keep things interesting. Unfortunately, minimal use is made of Nintendo Dual Screen technology, but it does not hamper the gamer in any way, but you might find yourself wondering if there is more you should be doing with your stylus. On the technical side, there are quite a few features that you can spend your time fiddling with, like the ability to import Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon from your previous Nintendo GBA game cartridges by inserting them into the GBA cartridge slot on the Nintendo DS. Online play is also available if pre-arranging with another Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon player (friend codes required), you can engage in online battles, trade and even voice chat with each other, however, in Wi-Fi mode no codes are necessary and you can do all of this so long as you are within Wi-Fi range. For Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon lovers, this game quenches every Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon need, and is definitely a "gottagetit", however, for gamers looking for something new and exciting, Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon Diamond or Pearl might not be the best choice, if you didn't enjoy or take interest in previous Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon releases, you probably won't find anything new in Pok&#xC3;&#xA9;mon Diamond or Pearl to make you splash your cash. Gameplay: 7/10 Presentation: 6/10 Sound: 6/10 Value: 7/10 Overall: 6.5/1 0 [Addictive, easy and a good mobile "flip and play".</description></oembed>
