Pokémon Pearl is a traditional Pokémon RPG that takes place in a region called Sinnoh.
In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokémon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon's myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galactic is trying to rule the region by utilising these two Pokémon's power. During your adventure to complete your Pokedex and become the Champion, these two Pokémon, and Team Galactic, intertwine into the story and lead you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.
When you set off on your travels, you play as either a boy or girl Trainer. You can utilise the DS's dual slots to transfer Pokémon from the GBA Pokémon games and you can link up with Pokémon Ranger to access more special content. Pokémon fans have caught glimpses of Mime Jr., Lucario, Munchlax and Weavile in Pokémon movies, and these Pokémon feature in this game.
One of the best aspects of Pokémon games is the ability to trade and battle with other Trainers, and Nintendo DS allows you to connect with other Pokémon fans wirelessly. What's even more intriguing is that Pokémon Pearl will be compatible with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, allowing you to trade and battle with other Trainers around the world. Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Diamond also feature voice chat capabilities, so you'll have no problems communicating with your online friends.

Just like in all other good pokemon games you get to choose what type of pokemon you want at the beggining (fire.grass.water) also you can interact with all the charecters and find out lots of stuff and people give you helpfull things which is great! You can also go in practacly every house..you can explore everywhere and the story is brilliant, you can never really complete the game because theres always more pokemon to catch and to level up. I have been on the game for about 40 hours and i am still finding new things! The only thing that disappointed me was when you just keep runnnig into to wild pokemon constantly, but that may not bother you.
Overall an amazing game
holy game

It Needs Innovation to Survive

It may seem strange to review what is arguably the same game as it's counterpart Pokemon Diamond but with the third game Pokemon Platinum being released early next year I found some things out about this game which I missed in the Diamond review.
One of the things I noticed was that the game is unfinished. Many of the things you receive after the first part of the game is severely limited to a few legendaries, a tower for battling, some extra Pokemon and some more caves to explore. The new game promises a lot more than that but I'll save you the spoilers for now.
You would think with all the massive advancements and innovation the Pokemon games are making you would think that they would make it a MMORPG or at least make a better effort at making a mainstream console game to replace the dismal Battle Revolution game. At this point I would suggest that Pokemon makes another step in innovation as the current games are making less impact on the market.
