    Played it for the nostalgia, and thats what I got. Got bored with it occasionally, but thats probably just because I'm getting older and my tastes are changing.

    Classic pokemon style gameplay. I had a great time going through it! Wish it would have lasted longer if anything!

    They really did a good job remastering the graphics while keeping to the original art style. Highly recommend this game, especially if sword/shield weren't your cup of tea

    I would call this more of a reboot than a remake. They have upgraded features in the game to mimic the newer games that make it easier to level up your Pokemon. I think this takes away a little of the game play but overall a good version of this old game.

    This game is so fun! I love catching all the Pokémon. I didn’t know which one to get diamond or pearl so I picked with my eyes closed, and I’m happy I did! #TeamPearl

    With this being my 2nd favorite Pokémon in the series I succumbed and bought the remake, it’s much more simplified with leveling adopting the shared xp that most jrpgs currently have already without the use of the exp share but still a fun experience.

    Honestly, it's just another Pokemon game. But I've never played Diamond/Pearl vers. And the game looks really good, especially on OLED Switch handheld.

    Good remake. Not the biggest fan of the chibi art style, but the additions and changes are welcome. Not the biggest fan of the way they do xp though.

    Great remakes of the Gen 4 Sinnoh games. I bought this game along with Brilliant Diamond for a family member, and I don't regret it at all.
