This game could be played by someone who is a real Pokémon master or someone brand new to the franchise. Both would be equally interested. If you’re thinking you’re too old to play a Pokémon game, prepare to be told you are wrong.You are wrong.This i...

I am a dedicated Pokemon fan, but even I can admit that Nintendo and Game Freak have done little to innovate their original concept over the last decade. Fortunately, the HeartGold and SoulSilver re-makes are the most expansive, accessible, and streaml...

In October, 2000, Nintendo released Pokemon Gold and Silver for the Game Boy Color in North America. Now, almost 10 years later, the games have been revived and reborn as Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver for the DS. It’s a welcome arrival, especiall...
Lots of pokemon to collect, clear crisp graphics, lots of little extras like apricorn collecting and pokewalker training, almost like two games in one (with Johto and Kanto), Pokeathlon is cute, Pokewalker is interesting for collecting extras, Platinum ex...
Pokewalker is easy to fool, Pokewalker occasionally has issues synching up with the DS, and the premise is the exact same as all Pokemon games and you can’t battle trainers you meet in the Wi-Fi Plaza.

I'll admit it: after chugging through several dozen hours of Pokemon Platinum, I felt that my time in the world of Pokemon RPGs was coming to an end. There's only so much "gotta catch 'em all" one can take, and after playing through the addictive serie...
