Post only if you have a good reason to prefer one over the other or you'll be warned. Otherwise, just vote in the poll.

There have been too many threads about which version is better. In short the two games are identical with a few differences in terms of catchable pokemons so that there is no better game, it's just a matter of personal preference.

Please vote for your favourite game based on the differences mentioned above. If you intend to reply, make sure to provide a solid reason to your choice or points will be removed. Especially posts like "I choose Diamond" or "Diamond because Dialga is cooler" should be avoided for your own good. And don't discuss anything else! General discussions and emulation related questions have their respective threads (read the announcement).

-----------------------------

Note: I closed all previous Diamond vs Pearl for they all lack basis for comparison and were just posting for GPs purposes.

I voted for Pearl. Besides Tyranitar, the exclusives for Pearl seem better to me.

I would say Diamond since I think Diamond's Legendary looks better than the Pearl Legendary.

I personally like Diamond better than Pearl. I think Dialga is better than palkia as well as the rest of Diamond exclusives.

Diamond IMO. Scyther, Murkrow, Seel, and LArvitar are AWESOME exclusives. Plus, Pearl's legendary looks... odd >_>

I Prefer Pokémon Pearl as i think it is better and my Friend has got Diamond So the Pokémon Difference made me chose Pearl but the main thing is that i have no NDS/NDSL so basically we cannot trade, we have to play on emulators and we will wait till an NDS Emulator Comes out With Perfect speed of Pokémon D/P and as well as Trading compatibilities.Who Knows as Pokémon R/S's successor was Pokémon Emerald, Will we Get a New Pokémon D/P's Successor!

I like both Tyranitar and Salamence for its power, but since I prefer Dialga to Palkia, I voted for Diamond
