About Pokémon Pearl Version
Pokémon Pearl Version and Diamond Version are role-playing games (RPGs) developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. With the enhanced remake Pokémon Platinum, the games comprise the fifth installment and fourth generation of the Pokémon series of RPGs. First released in Japan on September 28, 2006, the games were later released to North America, Australia, and Europe over the course of 2007.
Like previous Pokémon games, Diamond and Pearl chronicle the adventures of a young Pokémon trainer as he/she trains and battles Pokémon while also thwarting the schemes of a criminal organization. The games add many new features, such as Internet play over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and changes to battle mechanics and Pokémon Contests, along with addition of 107 new Pokémon. The games are independent of each other but feature largely the same plot and while both can be played separately, it is necessary to trade between them in order to complete the games' Pokédexes.

Solid game for its time, but the pacing in the underground caves really drags compared to what came after.

Pareil pour moi, les grottes m'ont paru interminables, exactement comme dans mon souvenir.

On y jouait en classe planqués sous la table, et je trouve qu'on lui donne trop de crédit aujourd'hui par simple affection collective.

Il tient sa place, tout simplement. Qui a vraiment fait mieux dans le genre à cette période ?

Face à Skyrim ou Witcher 3, Perle ressemble à un poussin qui défie un dragon, sauf que le poussin gagne un duel sur deux, respect.

Un poussin costaud, alors...

Replying to Gaudin1990
J'ai l'impression que le poussin tient surtout parce qu'on vote avec le cœur plus qu'avec la tête, non ?

I was maybe ten when I got this, no idea why the chicken comparison hits so hard but it does, made me laugh out loud honestly.
IronRunner
Un poussin qui gagne un duel sur deux contre un dragon, ça pose quand même une question sur ce qu'on vote vraiment...

The chicken analogy is funny but it kind of proves the point, charm carries this further than raw scale ever could.
