The pokemon series makes its first trip to the Nintendo DS with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. You begin in the entirely new region of Sinnoh as either a boy or a girl. The touch screen aids menu navigation and frees up the topscreen for gameplay. The game features enhanced graphics (a natural step up since it moved from GBA to DS). You can import your pokemon from the previous GBA Pokemon games. Now trainers can catch almost 150+ new pokeemon, including the three new starter Pokemon, Piplup, Turtwig, and Chimchar.
