Pokémon Diamond Version 2006

Is it still worth playing?

These role playing games for the Nintendo DS from 2006 use a third person overhead view. There are three basic screens: a field map where you move the main character, a battle screen and a menu for the party, items and settings. The player starts with no Pokémon or Poké Balls and chooses one of three Pokémon as part of the story. Once Poké Balls are obtained, more can be captured, and the player uses them to deal damage to others in turn-based battles that start whenever a wild Pokémon appears or a trainer issues a challenge. Remakes titled Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl came out for the Nintendo Switch in November 2021. Choosing a first partner and growing a team is a long journey that is still open today.
