If you want to save your game, yes.

No you dont. I didn't even think that there was a slot for a memory card. The game is saved to the cartridge.

Maybe I'm thinking of the PSP, but I seem to remember using a memory card. I've seen the cards that suit the DS on eBay and Amazon. Maybe it's an optional extra for things like ROMs and MP3s.

My old man got a DS for Christmas. And my sister got him one of those Micro SD memory cards & an adaptor so it'll fit into the cartridge slot & he can have many, many games all on one cartridge, if you know what I mean. 
So I think to answer the original question, no you don't need a memory card, but you can use one if you so desire.

The new DSi has a slot for SD Memory cards for photos and videos, but they're not essential for games.
