Well if your into Wi-Fi battles (and if you have Wi-Fi) and Diamond/Pearl get it. If you dont own either of the two then I wouldn't recommend it. If you really want it but dont have wi-fi then still get it. I'll just say its not a RPG like XD and Colloseum and doesn't have minigames and room features like Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Stadium 2. It has a decent amount of gameplay and quite a lot of challenges but nearly all is battles. So if you are into battling thn yes but if you are not then i would say dont get it and save up for another game like Pokemon platinum which is (hopefully) coming soon. The graphics are good but some pokemon have barely changed from Pokemon Stadium 2 and some shiny pokemon (Like Steelix, the only shiny I own XD.) look pretty bad, Shiny Steelix for example looks like clay instead of a gold-like colour. So if you dont have Diamond/Pearl buy them first or wait for Platinum. Personally, I found it to be quite a dissapointment and lost a lot of features from the other console games. :D Hope I helped.
