I am a Pokemon Master. Good, we got that out of the way. I went out and bought Diamond Version day 1 and instantly jumped back into the swing. Well now Platinum Version is out and it’s time to let y’all know what’s up with it. So let’s catch ‘em all again, shall we?
I hold my Pokemon games up to a very high standard, but I also realize the entire point of games, so I overlook a lot of things that other reviewers are going to slam on. The graphics during Pokemon battles, (the meat of the game), are not improved nearly as much as they should have been 10 years after the first game, and the sound effects are still just computerized screeches, but like I said, I don’t care. The new Pokemon games are just as good, if not better, than the originals.

I received my DS during the first Christmas it was released but it wasn’t until the next November that I’d actually purchase a game for it. After that, man did the games get good. Here are 5 Must-Own Nintendo DS Games.
