    The remake was well done. I never got to play the DIamond/Pearl games back then so it's nice to finally get a chance to play them.

    I hate the playing styles of the newer pokemon games I sincerely wish thwy make more like this!! I have Sword and I did not bother finishing it as it was very new and unlikeable. I tried my best to like it but playing Pokemon all my life, I couldnt settle for it. Played this on my nintendo DS, played it on the switch. Also cannot beat Cynthia to save my life but nonetheless, I love it. MUST HAVE.

    Let me start by saying this game is not for old players, unless they want to play it on free will. It’s a literal remake with too much faith in it. Perfect for new fans who have never played the originals or platinum. Overall the chibi style takes some getting uset to, controls as well but it’s nice to have more Pokémon games on the switch and a good experience with old favorite mons. Wow on the delivery service! It came in great packaging and was secure thanks so much!

    A modern update on a classic pokemon game. Now I only hope for Blue and Red to be remade.

    Cool game but…

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Cool game and exciting to play. The only downside I don’t like about the game is when you get further into your adventure and battle different gym leaders, your opponents will go 2-3 times in a row before you get a chance to go once. Once you’re at the pokemon league & fight the Elite four, they go 3-4 times in a row before you get to go once. Then they use full restore on every pokemon more than once so it takes so much longer to beat them. Make sure you have 50 (yes 50) or more “max potion”& “revive” because you won’t be able to leave & go to the pokemon center. You have to keep going. Once you beat the Elite Four you have to then battle the leader. Its all very tiring & frustrating when the game is programmed like this & makes you feel like you’re being cheated out of battles. I won’t be buying another pokemon game because of this.
