Reviewer's Comments
Just to clarify, this review goes to Pearl, but of course this site puts the reviews on the other.
Nintendo, I love you. After the 2 years of playing my Sapphire and Emerald, my interest began to wane. But, you surely got me hooked again. D/P don't disappoint, with the ability to ignite your addiction as always. However, why did I clear the main storyline in half the time as Emerald? I know you're trying to get kiddies, but I feel the game is a bit too easy. Never the less, Palkia rocks (READ IT AND WEEP DIAMOND LOVERS) and so do the other 100 or so you put in the game. Finally, GBA insertion is genius. And Pal Park is cool. Thank the Emerald cloning glitch. Well, a nice 9.5 is the fruit of your labor.
