Pokemon Pearl is one of the best games I've played. Nintendo have done a fabulous job.

The game is so different from it's predecessors that in the way of the Global Trade Station (GTS), Wifi communication, The Nintendo DS touch-screen capabilities and the 3D environment that you play in. It really is great.

pokemon pearl is an amazing game! with new great features as online pokemon trading in the GTS to online batteling with a friend on the other side of the world!

the new pokemon are still up the the great usual standards you would expect, with dozens of new moves and abilities to keep you playing for hours (i have done over 300 hours on this)

all in all this is such a great game and if you love pokemon this will not let you down!

What makes this game different from the others is that you dont need to have anyone nearby to trade pokemon!

You just a wifi connection and it will pick up people.

Also you can store you pokemon in the trade center and specify very specifly what pokemon you want for it.

ie. Trade in any pokemon and ask to have a level 30 Gengar who is female. When you come back you will find your pokemon gone and and female level 30 Gengar waiting for you.

That was the biggie for me. A must have for any pokemon fan.
