    Some of the gameplay is a little slow at times; however, the graphics are incredible and gives me the nostalgia of playing the originals in a brand new updated light, so it’s been very fun to play.

    Great Game! Recommend this to others. There aren't many changes from Diamond and Pearl, but it's still good.

    Exactly as the title says. It's simply just a gen 4 pokemon remake. Honestly, if you're on the fence about it, its an easy skip. The game doesn't really add anything new besides a few revamps to things like the underground. On the other hand, it actually takes AWAY a lot of things like every pokemon that was created beyond gen 4, and moves around the accessibility of things like Gible and the Razor Claw to only be available later in the game in comparisons to the original.
