WHAT GAME DO YOU PREFER?
 
I'm going to be getting Diamond or Pearl very soon, and I was wondering what you guys' opinions were. Which have better pokemon? I know they're virtually the same, but I was just wondering which you thought was better.

(my birthstone is pearl, so I'm currently leaning towards that, hehe)

Pearl, IMO, is a bit more "light" in terms of what Pokemons it has in comparison to Diamond...

Drakorn May 24th, 2008 1:05 AM

In my opinion, I think that Pearl was better. However, both of them have pros and cons to them, like, Larvitar is on Diamond which is a con to me however Bagon is on Pearl which is a pro to me. So I'll pick Pearl.

Go for pokemon Diamond go Dialga!

Toblerone May 24th, 2008 2:02 AM

Definitely Pearl, everyone else i know has Diamond, i like being a different person to everyone else.

dragonarche May 24th, 2008 2:05 AM

logicly pearl cause palkia has more s.attack than dialga

stocksy96 May 24th, 2008 2:20 AM

id say pearl because well palkia has more speed and sp atk and well u no all the usuall

Hadim Sinan Pasha May 24th, 2008 3:26 AM

stockys96:yeah, we know the usual but it seems liek you don't. *when's this guy gonna get booted out, he spams, might report him*

molee:storyline is the same but Pearl is better. here is a (ver small) list I have composed:
Palkia
Good National Dex poke's available even though Sinnoh dex lacks poke's.

Cid May 24th, 2008 3:30 AM

I'd say Diamond because of the version exclusives, color (blue), and because I don't really like pink.

Tré May 24th, 2008 3:36 AM

well diamond is most common game here...so i'd prefer that version...
just like the others above me...^^,

o0oBahamuto0o May 24th, 2008 3:40 AM

I Like pokemon Diamond because it have pokemons i like Dialga ^^!

Flamer May 24th, 2008 3:42 AM

I pefer pearl. I like Palkia better than Diagla :)

ErickaVolt May 24th, 2008 4:15 AM

I like Dialga because of it's appearance and it has high stat attack. Also for Palkia. I like Diamond and Pearl. That's why I didn't vote.

ninjamaster195 May 24th, 2008 4:29 AM

Diamond. I've got it, and well, Dialga has just alot of Resistances. XD

mewunlimited May 24th, 2008 11:31 AM

i actually perfer diamond. well cause dialga looks fresher and larvitar is an essential (the tyranitar powerhouse). Also pink is not my colour

Skaterzpenguin May 24th, 2008 6:22 PM

I prefer pearl more, because I like Palkia more than Dialga and if u are thinking of buying one of these games. Make sure you get a copy of Platinum in the future. ;]

Palkia has 1 weakness, Dilga has 2. Most other oves hit Palkia for x1. Oh well. Palkia has better stats. In a one-on-one Palkia would just use Earthquake or Fire Blast. Maybe even Aura Sphere. Dialga looks more like a dog than a dragon. oh well. If you're buying the game on looks not stats then you're pretty low. No offence to everyone out there who thinks Dialga looks like a cat, I mean dragon.

pulliy May 25th, 2008 5:28 AM

diamond is best.

well i think diamond is the best because you can catch cranidose and it is more of a challenge

Tomothy May 25th, 2008 7:29 AM

I choose Diamond because we then have Tyranitar, Rampardos, Scizor and of course Dialga!

Trainer Trance May 25th, 2008 11:25 AM

What does it for me is looking at the majority of the exclusive Pokémon to each game before buying.

I've always been a big fan of Slowpoke, so that made Pearl my choice. Mismagius is another thing that tipped me to Pearl, as I've always liked Misdreavus more than I liked Murkrow... that at Honchkrow's design, like most of the post 2nd gen Pokémon, flat out sucks.

Basing which version you get solely on the mascot Pokémon is stupid; it doesn't really effect how you're going to enjoy the game, just how you'll see the case and startup screen. I really could care less about which mascot Pokémon is on my copy as I'll have captured both of the Pokémon anyways..

So yeah, instead of turning to the masses to make the decision for you...

Click here and see which one has Pokémon you would like better.

El Gofre May 25th, 2008 11:43 AM

I prefer the game where people realise it's exactly the same as it's counterpart apart from a few pokemon (See the above post for a link to which exist in which).

They're the same game :|

I, for one, agree with Gofre. If I were you I wouldn't mind getting Pearl or Diamond. As long as it's the game with all the announced features, and as long as I can enjoy it like any other Pokémon game, I'm happy.

Ryuzaki_Lawliet May 25th, 2008 3:28 PM

Well I for one (who own both), love Diamond over Pearl. Besides, if you get a good natured FEMALE Dialga, you could actually BREED it.

The Hero Without a Name May 25th, 2008 5:15 PM

If only because of Scizor and Tyranitar, Diamond...

Female Dialga? Last time I checked, Dialga's genderless and Manaphy's the only legendary who can breed...

Meeth May 26th, 2008 5:13 AM

Pokemon diamond was better for me because i liked dialga to palkia, however i own both versions now.
