Pokémon
101
What are Pokémon? Pokémon come I
all shapes and sizes. Each Pokémon has one or
two types of moves (such as Grass, Fire or
Water) which it uses in battle. Pokémon also
develop their own personalities, likes and
dislikes ? just like humans do. Pokémon and
humans have learned to live and work together in
harmony to create a better life for
all.
Pokémon grow and evolve
in different ways. When Pokémon travel with a
Pokémon trainer, they gain experience from
battling other Pokémon and other trainers.
Pokémon can also gain experience by staying at
the Pokémon daycare, but nothing beats
first-hand battle experience. All Pokémon have
one or two innate element types. Pokémon types
reflect the strengths and weaknesses as well as
the environments they originated from. For
example Fire-type Pokémon are often found near
hot environments, excel in fire-type moves and
are weak against Water-type moves. If you know
what type of Pokémon your opponent is using, it
is usually a good strategy to use the opposing
type. Gym leaders and trainers always use one or
two Pokémon types. Like most creatures, Pokémon
live in environments suited to their needs. A
skilled Pokémon trainer will search everywhere
for Pokémon and learn where to find different
types. Some Pokémon are more elusive than
others. You will need key items such as a
fishing pole to catch some Pokémon.
Starting out in the game
you find yourself transformed into a Pokémon!
After taking a Pokémon personality test the form
of your Pokémon will be revealed. Washed ashore
on the beach a fellow Pokémon is beside you
asking for your help in finding lost treasure.
You can form rescue teams to discover the
mystery around your transformation as you hunt
for lost treasure along the way. Explore this
fantastic land untouched by human hands as you
join hundreds of Pokémon in randomly-generated
dungeons.
Utilizing the Wi-fi
connection feature enables players to rescue
each other or send out your own SOS for help.
With 16 available playable Pokémon including
Chimarchar, Munchlax, Piplup as well as previous
Pokémons including Pikachu, Squirtle, and
Charmander the fun never stops! Keep a keen eye
out for familiar faces from Pokémon
Diamond and Pokémon Pearl as well.
With over 490 Pokémon and non-repeating dungeons
this game ensure infinite exploration. Explore
long-lost dungeons or hunt down criminal
Pokémon. The choice is yours in this open-ended
game.
For years you've
captured, traded and battled with them; now it's
time once again to become a Pokémon yourself!
It's time to join the adventures of Treasure
Town.
Fans of the two previous
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, Red
Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team,
will marvel at the greatly enhanced graphics,
new story and grand adventure in Pokémon
Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of
Darkness. For Game Boy® Advance owners, the
fresh look and wireless aspects of these new
Pokémon titles provide even more reasons to
upgrade to Nintendo DS. And best of all for
budget-conscious parents, Nintendo DS is also
able to play the entire library of Game Boy
Advance games.
You can also save and
share your Pokémon photos with friends via the
Wii message board. You can challenge them to see
who's captured the best Pokémon
poses!

Pokemon Pearl
is a traditional Pokemon RPG that takes place in
a region called Sinnoh.
In the Sinnoh region,
there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region.
They appear in the Sinnoh reigon's myths and old
folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to
have the power to control time. The other is
called Palkia, who is said to have the ability
to distort space. The sinister organization
called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region
by utilizing these two Pokemon's power. During
your adventure to complete your Pokedex and
become the Champion, these two Pokemon, and Team
Galaxy, will intertwine into the story and lead
you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh
region.
When you set off on your
travels, you'll be able to play as either a boy
or girl Trainer. You will also utilize the DS's
dual slots to transfer Pokemon from the GBA
Pokemon games and be able to link up with
Pokemon Ranger to access more special content.
Pokemon fans have caught glimpses of Mime Jr.,
Lucario, Munchlax and Weavile in Pokemon movies,
and these Pokemon will be debuting in this
adventure.

A Kid's Review
I got a DS a
few days ago because I'm getting intrested in
the Pokemon games. I have Leafgreen and Crystal,
but so far this game is better! I love the 3-D
graphics and new Pokemon! The sound is a bit
bad..and it can get real annoying when wild
Pokemon just keep coming up to you. (Buy repel)
The game is really addictive and naming yourself
and rival is cool too. And I can't wait to try
out the Wi-Fi Connection sometime. I highly
recommend this game!

A Kid's review
I
am not going to review the game itself as I have
not received my copy or completed the story
line. this game is the biggest and most
anticipated game for the DS, everybody knows
that. a lot of effort has been put into this
game, and there have been over 500,000
preorders. If you have not reserved your copy,
get out one as soon as you can find one. for a
well detailed review, i suggest you go over to
ign or something of the like, who have had the
Japanese version to analyze.
