While you're all poo-pooing Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, I'll just say that it brought some great features.

1. Brought back the Day/Night system from Pokemon Gold/Silver.
2. An attack's physical/special nature was no longer dependent on the actual type (Fire attacks are always special, Fighting attacks are always physical etc). This had a huge effect on the competitive game, and really helped Dark types, who were usually given high Attack stats (despite Dark being a "Special" typing before Diamond/Pearl).
3. Awesome new evolutions of previously forgotten Pokemon. Weavile, Rhyperior, Leafeon, Porygon-Z, Mamoswine, Gliscor, Togekiss, etc.

It definitely is the least-revolutionary Pokemon game out there, but I still think it's better than Gen III. The new batch of Pokemon were the lamest of the gens and Pokemon Contests can die a horrible death. *pats Black/White on the head for getting rid of them*
