Customer Ratings & Reviews

My grandson will be surprised on Christmas. This is all he wanted.. I pre-ordered from Best Buy. IT was sold out every where else.

Got it as a gift for my brother he loves it can never stop playing it

Awesome story mode, excellent graphics, real time is very important for the gameplay

Great remake. Reminds me of playing the DS version many moons ago

Purchased for my collection, and it arrived super clean! Very happy with it. Don’t worry, I still play the OG version.

Never played the original pearl game, really nice to get the chance now. It’s a really fun game. Definitely recommended!

Plenty in stock when I went. Employee's are always helpful finding stuff. Good game, brings me back to childhood. :)

Great game as far as nostalgia and ease / share of play. Bought for two brothers who found it better than originals in some elements and not exemplary in others as far as technology goes.

I’ve had nothing but fun with both brilliant diamond and shining pearl definitely recommend this for anyone that loves Pokémon or is just starting out plus if you’ve played the original it definitely gives that nostalgic feeling while adding a few fresh changes

I never played the originals but I did enjoy these. Just a Pokémon game and tons to do in the underground as well.

Bought Pokémon Pearl back in the day and wanted to get back into Pokémon. Shinning Pearl has been lots of fun. Especially with all the clone / item / duplication glitches. I work 6 days and don’t have time to grind anymore like when I was a kid way back when. Shadows, graphics, and overall gameplay has been updated and feels refreshing. Wasn’t a big fan of sword and shield, but this game definitely has been a lot of fun. Especially the underground map.

Christmas gift for my niece. She loved it! Nice to pass along the love for Pokémon to the next generation

Great game. My son enjoyed it. However, he didn’t play with it that much.

Purchased for my nephew for Christmas gift. He loved it. Said it was fun but difficult, (he's twelve).

Regardless it’s Pokémon what else is there to say.

Pokemon Shining Pearl is a nice remaster of a classic DS Pokemon title. Shining Pearl features a lot of the classic look and feel of the original title but with some current remaster techniques for a modern console. The overall visuals keep the original look and make the overhead sequences look as if you are looking at figurines of your childhood. All around this is a fun game and an experience worth playing through even for a second time.

Got it as a gift. So happy they loved it and are enjoying it.

Overall a good remake (with many similar problems). The improvements to the underground definitely helped in completing the Pokédex and leveling up your team. Additionally there is a lot of post game content (a bit too much for me personally) to keep you playing long past the elite 4. The improvements that would have pushed this to a 5 is fixing the original games pacing and random difficulty spikes.

i ordered this as a Christmas gift for my son. Gave it to him early and he absolutely loves it!!!

The remake of the first pokemon game I ever played, was at the store on time and an easy pick up.
