Every Nintendo pocket system has seen its own version of Pokemon. And the DS has finally gotten its own. With almost 500 Pokemon total, and NEW internet ready features, this is one of the BEST Pokemon titles yet.
Graphics:
This games graphics are not its strong point. It looks very similar to the GBA release. But with some 3d effects. Battles are still in 2D. Even though its not a big jump from what it was, its still charming in it self. Its barley a downside.
Presentation:
The game's menus are pretty much the same except with animated pics and touch screen features. The games intro REALY could have been better. It seems very cheap. And there could have been a little more use of the touch screen. Even though the Poketech watch in your bottum screen is a GREAT asset.
gameplay:
One of the features that realy stands out is the ability to use the touch screen in battle. It works very will giving you explanations of things before you use them. The rest of the game pretty much plays the same.
MULTI-PLAYER:
Here is the big new feature. Yes the game has great multiplayer options and features. And there are a TON of pokemon to collect. You can even transfer Pokemon from your old GBA games and trade them with friends.
WiFi:
The Wifi connection is used for 2 things in this game. The battle tower where you can download other trainers online info, and verse a computer controlled version of them.
Or 2 use the GTS. the Global Trading System, is probably the best feature Pokemon could ever add. Its simple, you put a Pokemon up and put what you want to trade for it, and some one comes online and takes your offer. OR you can go shopping for a Pokemon you desire and trade for what they are offering. This allows you to pretty much finish your PokeDex with ease.
Conclusion:
Pokemon stays true to the saying, "If it aint broke, why fix it". A lot remains the same. But some new added features REALLY put this game on top.
This game is not a RENT! ITS A BUY!
