Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, or Pocket Monsters Diamond/Pearl, as it is known in Japan, is a role playing game franchise developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo exclusively for its hugely popular Nintendo DS handheld gaming console. Part of the Pokemon RPG series, Pokemon Platinum has recently been released. Based on the world famous Pokemon anime series, the game was first launched in its native Japan on September 28, 2006, and reached North American and European shores on April 22, and July 27, 2007, respectively.
Both Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl are set in the fictional world of Sinnoh, which is the habitat for 493 different species of Pokemon, a special type of animal that possesses different types of powers that can be used to fight their enemies. As all Pokemon stories, this title documents the journey of a young trainer who has to raise and battle Pokemons, while investigating a criminal organization that wants to hurt the animals.
Features such as Internet play, via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection or changes to the gameplay and battle mechanics are also present in the game, which aims at giving a new experience to Pokemon fans all over the world. Older concepts such as Pokemon contests are also present, in order to bring back the old fans of the anime series and older video games. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are similar in some ways, but cover different stories and don't have the same gameplay mechanics. In order to complete the Pokedexes of the two games, you must trade between them in order to uncover new species of animals.
The game received positive reviews, with critics praising the Wi-Fi features, which enabled players to engage in some interesting battles, and the gameplay that, although being based on almost the same things as older titles, managed to offer an entertaining experience. Sales were very good, with the title shipping around 15 million units worldwide, thanks to the big number of Pokemon fans out there.
