Probably my Favorite game on the Nintendo DS!
If you loved pokemon and followed the series through since red and blue, then you'll really appreciate how great this game is!

Yes, teenagers and older people play pokemon too.
true anyone could beat the game but honestly its takes alot of skill, patience, and smarts to be a "good" trainer on the wifi and such.

the 3-D graphics in this version are sweet and the new pokeon add a new level to the old versions.

but just the question is, which is better? pearl or diamond? I personnaly just played eni-meeni-miny-mo and picked pearl.

Pokemon Pearl was absolutely magnificent! The graphics were amazing, the new pokemon were awesome, and the real-time game effect was terrific! I reccommend this game to anyone, any age! Please buy it, you won't regret it!

this game needs no review because of the great gameplay and the great selection of pokemon, the best thing about this game is that thare is so much to do like beauty contest, battle tower, and just trying to get all the pokemon which leads me to the point of the great online battling and trading, it is so easy to get them all but the game tracks the people you trade to and this game is just fun as hell

overall this is a buy

Everything Nintendo missied in the previous games (except for visiting other regions, of course). World wide trading and battling, ability to catch every Pokemon (besides that starters and legendaries, of course) and a Mystery Gift that can be given to everyone, not just those at the Pokemon Center in New York. I would give this game 6 stars. A total buy to any DS owner and anytime Pokemon lover.

Top quality game. Combines all of the pokemon from the previous games. Also, EV training adds a new level of depth to trainers looking to be more strategious.
great

just like diamond, but keeping with the traditional game mechanics of the past games, there are only certain pokemon found in pearl, not in diamond and visa-versa. depending which one you got first, the other one isn't really worth getting.

Comments: Pokemon Silver will always be my favorite, but Pearl is pretty damn close. I like this version in particular because it's exclusive Legendary, Palkia, has the type advantage over Diamond's exclusive, Dialga (Palkia's Water type beats Dialga's Steel type). Also, Dialga's design has already been done with the 3 Legendary Beasts (Raikou, Entei, Suicune).
i had a lot op pkmn games and i'm (again) became en adict in it. the trading is verry nice to compleet your dex and i think the new pokemon ar fine to:)

The third best Pokémon game ever, aside from Emerald Version and Diamond Version. There are way too many good things about this game to list, so play it for yourself and see what I'm talking about.

I loved this game. Out of all the pokemon games, this one was the best.
i put over 100 hours in this game and still havent beat the game thats how fun it is
Where Do I Start?

Well the graphics are shockingly good seeing as it's a Pokemon game.

Gameplay is quite addictive.

And The Role Of All The Other Characters In The Game Are Played Quite Well Seeing As It's Only A Game!!

The Only Bad Thing Is That If You Go Into A House And Talk To A Man/Woman They Will Say Something To You, Then If You Go Outside And Go Back In, He Will Say The Same Thing. I Don't See The Point In It. Are They Programmed Just To Say That One Quote?

Overall: 4/5 If You Are A BIG! Pokemon Fan Then You MUST Buy This Game Fairly Soon.
I love pokemon games there for i loved this game. One of my all time favs.

A very good game which is a successful game for the Pokemon series, with 493 pokemon this game will keep you playing for months! Most of the old pokemon can be found in the game and the rest can be traded or imported into the Pal Park from a GameBoy Advance pokemon game.

The music is nice and the graphics are too, it is semi-3D appealing to most gamers. There are many new items such as the focus sash and the cherish ball and many new features such as going underground, and Wifi Connection.

You can never fully complete this game and once you complete everything you can you would have been playing for years! Even when you've done as much as you can you can try battling people over NWC in the Battle Tower or trading over GTS (Global Trading System)

To conclude this is an excellent game.
Well lives up to the past games. I enjoyed it.

im gonna hav lv 80 alakzam

The addition of new pokemon makes it awesome, but not being able to get 5 of them because you need to be at an event that never happens dampens the excitement.
