I gave it to my 9-year-old niece as a birthday gift. She had several other Pokeman video games which she had also really enjoyed and she said she liked this one as much as any of the others.

Diamond is a really great game. Battling people like gym leaders is really fun. The pokemon leauge is challanging but not impossible. A few days ago I beat Cynthia, the leauge champion. Pros: the starters are great (and cute) there is a lot of new pokemon to catch battling is fun the evil peoples, Team Galactic, are cool the cities are great there is still a lot of things to do after you beat the pokemon leauge Cons: Cynthia's way super annoying Milotic Azelf how you have to catch (not see, but catch) all 482 pokemon (not including Mew, Lugia, Jerachi, stuff like that) to complete the national pokedex and that you need the GBA games to do it This is a great game and I think you should get it.

A game worthy of every cent you pay for it

Over all it is pretty fun, it starts when you go to the lake and pretty much "Borrow without asking" one of three pokemon; Chimchar, Turtwig, or Piplup. I personally like Turtwig...Also the one Ash gets. Fighting off the wimpy team Galactic you steadily get to Mt. Coronet---Where Dialga lies. Luckily Cyrus gives you a Master ball. Over all it was another awesome adition to the Pokemon trilogy. Pros: +You can FINALLY get Lucario +Still the same great formula +Eggs hatch a bit quicker +You can transfer pokemon from Emerald, Ruby, Saphire, Leaf green, and Fire red once you fill up the Sinnoh-Dex Cons: -Way too many NPC's that own Lucario -Lots of NPC's use you (Either to cheat their way to the top, or to be safe -It's WAY easier to raise wild Starlies, instead of your starter pokemon Over-all it was Awesome and worth every cent of $30.00---the first day I had it I clocked in for eleven whole hours. Bravo to anyone who buy this rare catch!
