    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.

    The best Pokémon role playing game so far. [Sept 2007]

    The addition of an online function in the game has made its replayability soar to new heights.

    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.

    It's an awesome game, but not particular original. It works well with the DS, but I sometimes feel that it could do with a little more refining. For example, if a menu appears on the bottom screen I expect to be able to touch which option I want, but this doesn't always work.… Expand

    He jugado TODOS los juegos de la franquicia, y personalmente no logro entender porque a tanta gente le disgusto esta generación. El juego constituye un reto interesante por la dificultad que posee, además de la gran cantidad de elementos nuevos que incluye y la revolución que la NWC trajo en la interactividad on-line.… Expand

    This game was really entertaining. I liked the adventure part of the game the most. It was a lot like Pokemon Platinum though so I could only play on or the other. I hated leveling up and grinding my pokemon but that can be said for every pokemon game out there. It went by really fast but it was good while it lasted.… Expand

    It really isn't that great, one of the weakest for the DS and one of the weakest in the series too.
