Pokemon. Is it Right for My Relationship? (SOLVED! THANK YOU EVERYONE!)

So my girlfriend and I have been kicking around the idea of "getting into Pokemon" recently as we often strive to find two-player RPGs for our console systems but come up short (I have no idea how we were able to get all the way through LOTR: 3rd Age.) We often play a little DS before bed or on lazy weekends, but we're never really "doing it together" as much as playing different puzzle/adventure games in tandem.
So, with that said Diamond and Pearl looks not too expensive to pick up, but I'd rather make sure I know what I'm doing before shelling out cash for two DS games.
Neither of us has ever played anything "Pokemon" before, but from what I understand and have read I'm considering it as a great option. We're talking about a single player "grind" RPG in which we would be able to trade and fight, keeping a nice inter-connectivity between the two separate games while spicing things up with some competition as well as assistance. My dream is that this game would facilitate us getting involved in a game world in which we would be able to interact on a limited but substantial basis.
I understand that the majority of the game is single player and grinding for Pokemans. I hope that we'd be able to get into the game and that there would be enough depth to keep us interested and to keep us looking to improve and compete. Do I have the right idea, or does anyone have any better idea? Any of you played Pokemon with your other half, and how did it go?

If we want to play games together we either play something on the Wii, Fable 2, or StarCraft.
Other then the stuff I just mentioned, I found it to be very fun and I even enjoyed the story.
Sweet.
Goes beyond that. You can trash talk in real time because the DS mics transmit voice.
Also, Platinum has extra things to do with multiple people.
I would check out serebii.net to see exactly everything that Plat has instead of D&P
I'll check out serebii.net in a bit.
Also, I would just get two copies of platinum.
Though historically the construction of pokemon games is such that getting two different versions is best. In order to "catch em all" for instance, you have to own or have access to people who own something like seven different versions of the game.
Man just about all the versions of the games :x
You need Fire Red, Leaf Green, Ruby, Sapphire, diamond, pearl and platinum (probably more then that, but I think I got them all).

All I know if when you mix the caring for, raising aspects with a game that is so incredibly cute it is like the perfect storm when handed to a woman.
Steam
XBOX
So, if I understand correctly I think I'll start with Diamond/Pearl and if we're hooked pick up Platinum. I have no interest in playing with anyone other than the girlfriend, so online play isn't a big hook. Two versions of the same game is a big draw, as I'd feel like a chump buying two copies of Mariokart just for the full multiplayer experience. This is just enough different.
Diamond and Pearl are the same story with different Pokemans, right?
She plays a lot of Sims, Point 'n Click Adventure, some RPGs. Tabletop minis and roleplaying exist in our house beyond belief (we have every Warmachine/Hordes army between the two of us 50/50.) I'm hoping that the "handheld" aspects of this will make it a more ongoing endeavor. Really, I've been seeing this as the perfect "play before bed" game a few times a week that is deep and expansive enough to last a long, long time.
Most of them are the same, only a few are different.
If you going to pick these up make sure diamond is the copy you get. The pokemon are slightly more manly looking.
See, this is what I need to know, right?
Just sayin'
This is a bad thing why?
Ditto. Me and my lady do just this and brag at each other.
Thus leading to

This is pretty much solved. I'm going to get Diamond and Pearl. I'm going to play Diamond. Thank you to everyone!
