    I love the original games. But after playing this one for a while. Kinda disappointed. I wish it felt more of an upgrade. It's kinda sad because Gen 4 was their best selling games in history so, to treat them with not much of an upgrade...

    This is basically just a straight port from the DS game from back in the day. Youll either love or hate the graphics,and I dont like them. Only can recommend to the biggest hardcore fan of tbe series.

    It's a perfectly okay remake, but missing the stuff from platinum and it feels like it's pretty dated at this point

    A Disappointment on Every Level

    This game is shockingly awful. Some games release half-finished with the promise of the game being patched and finished after release. It is March 2022 and the game still is not finished. Even then, what patches have been released do very little to fix a game that at its core gameplay loop is so mind numbingly boring and bad. Features are missing, everything is so bare-bones its shocking that Nintendo even okayed the game to be released. The game's huge day one patch that had the missing parts of the game actually managed to break the game so badly that you could beat the game in under 20 minutes. With the nature of how this game was released, when the Nintendo Switch E-Shop is shut down in the future, owning a cartridge copy will do very little allow you to play this game. Not that you would want to. Play literally any other Pokemon game instead.

    It’s the same game from years ago and it is boring. Very slow pacing, dull story, and feels like there are only 20 Pokémon. If you’ve played Arcreus, Sword/Shield, or let’s go pickacu then just imagine worst aspects of each combined in one.

    No surprises here, solid game with the standard sounds, mechanics, and story. Graphics feel outdated for a 60$ game. 7.5/10. Maybe wait forva sale before buying.
