Pokemon D/P
Graphics: Sure the 3-D Graphics are a nice change of pace. They actually look rather well, there are better, there are worse, but overall it's nice. The battle scene is typically the same. *9.5*
Gameplay: Its mostly the same but they have added the use of the touch screen, the mic, and Wi-Fi. Touch screen for the Poketch and choosing attack. The mic for when your battling someone, you can talk to them and Wi-Fi for trading and battling. *10*
Sounds: Same old sound with some new ones. New pokemon sounds which everyone love. So I guess its good. *7.5*
Multipalyer: Of course Nintendo has the safe point of this to battle others. It bites, but what can you do? There are sites that have the codes. Other then that, it has the same playstyle as R/S/E with the singles, doubles, and a new addition, the battle tower. *8.5*
Lasting Appeal: Great, after the elite four, there are the illegal pokes, the whole fight area, full moon island, turnback cave, and lot more. a 40+ hour adventure. *acutally i have played for over 500+* *10*
Overall: You really can't complete a portable game set without Pokemon. It's one of the greatest games to have on any portable system. I give Pokmon D/P a 9 outta 10.
