A beautiful game, unfortunately the chibi style wasn't the best way to remake this game in my opinion. But still a fun and quality pokemon

This game is so fun, brought back good memories. Also the cover is badass.

Got shiny Chimchar in 1 hour 10/10. A must have for fans.

This game is a great port of the DS original game.

So much fun playing an old classic with updated graphics!!!

Yes it is good I like the game it is fun classic Pokémon

This is a great remake to the Pokemon Series. I don't know why it received mixed reviews since it played out exactly how the DS version did with the added mining mechanic which is actually pretty addicting. Having your secret base underground and finding the stone sculptures of pokemon was really fun. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are pretty much enhanced spruced up versions of Platinum. They all have the same things that Platinum did except they do have specific pokemon to their versions. They're great Pokemon games and if you loved Diamond and Pearl a lot, then definitely don't sit and wait to get it. You know how Pokemon games get more and more expensive as the years go by.

I never played Gen 4--fell off Pokemon after Gen 3 came out, so this is quite the experience for me. The game runs great and find it challenging as well so far. My only issue is how finicky the controls are in moving--both D-pad and stick. It's hard to explain other than awkward, stiff, tricky, and a bit disorienting. Controls on the gen 3 remake on my 2DS XL didn't have issues of keeping the character in a grid-focus pattern when walking if using the D-pad, but here it seems to get desynced, causing some awkward collisions into walls, trainers and walking around them, and even jumping over a cliff when I only wanted to stand behind it. Of course you got the EXP Share All forever on just like in Sw/Sh... which has been useful but prefer it there was an option to turn it off than be forced on--is a minor annoyance honestly. For some reason you can access your computer still but only for the ball sticker feature... that you can do at any time on the menu screen... rather redundant and unnecessary thing for you to access your computer like that. It's a bit difficult to tell if I'm going to hit the collision of the "back of a building" when going east/west or not because of the angle of the camera and how the characters desync from the grid-pattern when using the D-pad. I've only gotten up to the 2nd gym and having a good time. The music, the graphics, the story thus far, the pokemon... I'm loving it. Just wish the controls weren't so... odd.

If you loved Diamond and Pearl you'll love this remake. It's sooooo cute and the graphics look so good! There's just something about seeing your favorite old Pokemon game updated to have really sharp colorful graphics and moving around in a 3D environment! Seeing all your favorite pokemon updated and in 3D graphics feels great. I loooove this game!!!! Also, very important. Make sure if you're buying games, try to always buy the physical and not digital. With the way the world has been going these days, digital is just a license and you don't own it. Physical copies are the way to go. Always get physical if it's available. You also have the option of reselling when you no longer want the game so it becomes: (Amount you Paid) - (Amount you got after reselling) = Amount you paid to borrow and play the game for X amount of years! Gamer math!

Although I haven’t gotten the opportunity to play this game yet since my son has been monopolizing it I can say that it looks great. The graphics are really nice along with the graphics. I will have to wait in line in order to start playing it but I know it will be well worth it plus a lot of fun.

Already logged hours into it, and ignored all leaked / published footage, and was pleasantly surprised. Little fixes make casual playing alot easier (hidden moves, poketech, etc.). The gyms seem a tad harder than before, while the side-story is alittle easier to blitz through. Awesome so far, great visuals, and fantastic way to remake a gem of a game from 06'.

I am so glad they redid this game for the Nintendo switch great game for anyone who loves Pokémon games Great gift idea

I just got the game a month ago, and I can verify that it's a pretty good video game. I really enjoy the detailed and high quality of the graphics, it's pretty cool. I had so much fun playing it.

I have to say I'm very happy with my purchase. As someone who played the first original pokemon game its so great to see how far with graphics they have come. Im 36 but I still love pokemon.

Good "reboot" of Pearl with nice graphics. Purists might miss the old-school 2D look, but the update to a modern 3D look with the standard gameplay mechanics is a pretty nice combination.

I was always a fan of the original gameplay of Pokémon games. 8 gyms. Elite 4. I don’t need all the super powers to make your Pokémon mega or anything. While I’m not a fan of the Pokémon contests you can partake in at least it’s optional and not necessary. The underground is pretty cool and while making a base is somewhat pointless it’s another thing to do. Ive spent 30 hours playing so far and will put more into it. For $65 after taxes thats just over $2/hr. Pretty cheap to have fun

Don’t let the haters keep you from trying this one! It’s a blast and looks so clean!

Definitely was fun and I also had a nostalgic experience as I started playing Pokémon from generation 4 originally.Some features like GTS aren’t here yet but hopefully they add them soon. Underground is really fun but boring without online.

Love the series and love this remake as it remains true to a lot of the original Diamond And Pearl. Pretty fun to play and so nostalgic with updated graphics.

Great remake of an original instant classic. Had tons of fun playing back through this story.
