well just think of it like this :P
everytime someone makes a 2nd game or something its usually no different but alot of updates. In my eyes its really quite the same, someone with a vague memory should also get a hang of it again.
Yeah so basically in pearl just more things to do and different places to go, as well as the online trading and battling its become easier to get the pokemon you want. with the different days and day and night settings like the old times are still here so, coming around at different times to play it comes with different results with catching pokemon and items.
Pearl and saphire are just more of a challange to get through the game and catch the pokemon in my eyes. I loved saphire and i still think at the moment its better then the DS games, but i still havn't completed it.
Its basiclly the same, 8 badges, beat elite four, then go find the rare pokemon etc etc.
There were events online you get items for pearl and pokemon. but i think they stopped that now, for Platinium events now. i think.
to be honest, as like most games you learn going through the game in a way. even new players are made easy. and tutorials are basically given to you in the games with the more updated stuff. Specially ones on DS
