Pokemon has been an important name since its beginning in the mid-nineties, and the series continues to produce powerful additions to the gaming world Spy x Family Part 2. The creator’s original intent carries forth to Pokemon Diamond, immersing players into the childlike world of catching creatures to turn into pets. Players jumps into this fantastic world with a single pokemon by their side, and the Pokedex device to keep track of how many pokemon the players has captured.
The goal of the game, and every edition in the series, is to catch every pokemon and become the world’s greatest master trainer. Battles are engaging, pitting the player’s own pokemon against rivals or wild pokemon, and are simple enough that any age group can pick it up. Through adventuring around the diverse world, the Pokedex expands its catalog with every new Pokemon gathered and encountered.
The newest features presented by the Diamond version of Pokemon are primarily dependent on the capabilities of the Nintendo DS. This platform allows this generation of pokemon gamers to enjoy Wi-Fi connections to other DS handhelds in the area, along with voice chat, and the ability to trade pokemon. The touch screen mechanics make interacting with pokemon companions even more involving, and allow players to communicate through drawing.
The story guides the gameplay loosely enough to allow the player to truly feel a sense of freedom and adventure, while still maintaining a major goal. One of the Pokemon series’ ever-present characters, Prof. Oak, grants the young adventurer a pre-captured pokemon to begin their journey to mastering the world’s creatures of all shapes and sizes. And this is exactly what the player must do if they wish to make the title of Pokemon League Champion, and to subdue the evil members of Team Galactic.
Each Pokemon game comes with its own Legendary Pokemon, waiting for players to find them from somewhere within the world. Dialga is this special, god-like pokemon for the Diamond game. As a creator of the universe alongside Palkia, this time-controlling creature is an exciting addition to any collection of powerful companions.
The ability to play with other live people in head to head competitions, trade, and communicate is activated after a certain point in the game, to make sure a certain level of experience is earned before jumping into a knowledgeable community. This helps expand the already dedicated fan-base to those who love to meet new friends, and to play together with friends. People from all around the world can join together and enjoy the wonders of catching Pokemon, whether the creature is cute, scary, powerful, or funny.
Pokemon Diamond is a high-scoring game that all DS owners can enjoy. Continuing its time-honored tradition of exploration and instilling mystery, this Pokemon game stands solidly among all competition in the gaming industry. Pokemon fans will be happy to add this story to their collection built from the games, television series, movies, and cards, with a fresh introduction to the Pokemon universe. This is a very fascinating and difficult question. The answer really depends upon why you are buying the cards. Are you buying the cards for your personal collection, to sell for profit at sometime in the future, or to use in the Pokemon game.
For those of you who are looking to collect rare Japanese Pokemon cards for your own personal collection, its obviously best to choose which cards you like the best. The japanese Pokemon promo cards are much nicer than the US ones. They are much more nicely designed, have better detail, and don’t have the cheap looking yellow border like the Wizards of the Coast US Pokemon cards. But, that is my personal opinion and the choice is completely yours. Whatever cards you like I think you should collect.
Those collectors who wish to buy Pokemon cards in hopes of turning a profit later, the answer is simple. Buy the older Japanese Pokemon trophy promo cards. These cards are the ones that will truly hold their value. As with baseball cards, the older the card, usually the more valuable it will become. Although this is not always true, its a good rule to follow. The older, rare Japanese Pokemon promo cards are becoming harder and harder to find and the value is skyrocketing. Take the rarest Pokemon card of all time, the Pikachu Illustrator for example. 8-10 years ago there was one of these for sale for about $6000. Now, you are lucky if you can buy one of these beautiful gems for less than $25, 000 (There is one currently on ebay for $32, 500). Other rare Japanese Pokemon cards such as the Pikachu trophy card, SSB (Super Secret Battle) Mewtwo, Tropical Mega Battle Exeggutor card have all increased in value. You used to be able to find these cards for about $3000, but now they are close to $7000 each. The price will keep increasing with time, as they are getting harder and harder to find, especially in mint condition. The trophy cards were produced in such limited quantity and they were made before anyone really new about Pokemon cards, so they are extremely difficult to find. The newer Pokemon cards are nice, but they just don’t seem to have the same charm as the older ones. Plus there are many more produced than the classics.
