Easily one of the greatest titles on the DS...Between exploring the massive towns, wandering through the multi-tiered wastelands, and challenging legions of trainers, you’ll enjoy a lengthy adventure that no other DS game can boast.

Armed with a host of new Pokemon, an expansive new world, and the functionality of the DS, Diamond and Pearl constitute the ultimate Pokemon experience. [June 2007, p.102]

사심이 잔뜩 들어간 최고의 포켓몬 게임. 아무리 평가가 갈려도 나한테 포켓몬은 DP와 BW로 기억될 것 같다. 찌르꼬와의 전투부터 기라티나 신전까지 기억이 나지 않는 순간이 없다.

In the end, it's more of the same with some added critters. If you're hankerin' for a batch of Pokemon on the DS, pick it up. If you haven't beaten the other versions, though, you may want to go the cheaper route.

The additions and alterations aren't game changing, and Diamond and Pearl do what the Pokémon franchise has always done best--deliver an accessible and highly addictive role-playing game experience.

If you can get past all this, it’s a magnificent game and easily the most solid Pokémon game yet.

The fact that it's far from a perfect game and not much of a step forward doesn't make it any less of a must-buy. The core single-player adventure is guaranteed to occupy you for more than thirty hours, and the promise of extensive global trading and (surprisingly deep) Wi-Fi battling awaits those who complete the main storyline. Get this game.

Just back-to-basics, old school pocket monster capturing and training. The bad news, however, is this: these two new games are exactly what you would expect in a new Pokemon RPG. So no, you’re not having a drug-induced flashback to the crazy times you had playing "Pokemon Ruby and Emerald." It’s, well, pretty much the same game.

Jeu extrêmement lent. Même en y jouant sur emulator en vitesse x4 le jeu etait toujours lent. CEPENDANT les quelques nouveaux pokemons ajoutés font parti des meilleurs. L'histoire est pas ouf. Ça reste correcte pour un jeu pokemon.

probabilmente il più punto più basso toccato da pokemon in quegli anni, DP sono dei titoli lenti, buggati, noiosi e tutti questi ptoblemi oscurano i numerosi pregi nascosti dietro uno scarso impegno tecnico.. 7.2/10

43/100 Pokémon Diamond is the start of a new journey, where the playful energetic tunes of Hoenn give way to gentler, soothing melodies of Sinnoh, soaking the experience in a serene, almost contemplative mood. Sinnoh is a place brimming with ancient history, alluring folklore and memorable sites, all blending together to form one of the most thematically rich and iconic settings in the series. Sadly not even half of the ideas it introduces are explored to their full potential, as the story disappointingly turns out to be a sighltly altered retread of the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald story, but with mostly less charismatic characters. The core Pokémon gameplay didnt age well since its repetitiveness and simplicity appears quite dull in today's gaming landscape, and the speed of battles has been significantly slowed down making them extremely tedious at times. Even so, the often labyrinthine rich Level Design makes for an interesting exploration experience and the rewarding challenge when fighting the strongest trainers pushes the player to put real effort into their strategies, while Super Contests and the Undergound Tunnels offer some decently fun, entertaining gameplay variety. Annoyingly enough though, Team-building options are partially heavily restricted due to the embarassingly low amount of Fire-Type Pokémon available in the region.
