Pokemon Pearl: Awesome :)

General Comments:
this game is great, because there are more things to do than the other games. So far my favorite thing to do is go under ground and search for stuff, and set traps for other people. And Wi-Fi connection for the game is cool cause you can battle people all over the world, and trade for pokemon you don't have. I give it two thumbs up! b^-^d

its good, but the worst of the series imo

General Comments:
I'm sorry to say, but this has got to be the least fun pokemon game i've ever played. After I get through the bad stuff tho, I will list some good stuff. So don't skip this review.

The game is fun, but, personally I think the online aspect ruins it. You can get all sorts of stuff through trading that you usually won't be able to get too easily, and I find that a tad annoying. Plus, The dialogue is terrible. It's gotten extremely cheesy and at points i was shocked at how bad it is. The bad guy team in this game was also really annoying, and the fact that half the members of it didn't seem to have a clue what was going on didn't help. Theres also many new terrain types which are no fun at all, such as snow, fog, and swamps. Fog you can't see a darn thing when you're walking around, and the only way to clear it is to use an HM move. I don't like to have to remove my good attacks to put really weak HM attacks on my pokemon just to get further in the game, and this game seems to really emphasize HM's.

The pokemon gyms have also turned into giant puzzles which take quite some time to figure out at times. While this is probably welcome for most people as it adds a new level of gameplay, I personally prefer the walk in the room and beat up the leader approach of older games gyms.

But what really killed it for me is the lack of stuff to do after you beat the game. I love being able to continue playing a game after I beat it, and most pokemon games (especially gold and silver) have stuff to do afterwards. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl do have stuff, but it is incredibly boring. I continued playing for about 3 days after I beat it, and got bored and stopped. I managed to get over 100 hours of gameplay out of pokemon ruby after i beat the elite 4. (i had about 180 hours of gameplay before I started over, and it probably took 50 or less to beat the story mode)

If you don't mind this lack of fun after you beat the game, then by all means get it. And if the ability to get almost anything in the game online appeals to you, then, you should probably already have this game. But I found those parts to be annoying, so, It is my least favorite in the series.
