Who doesn’t like Pokémon…. So what if they make 3-4 games a year leaving you little time to catch them all…so what if they make 2 versions…so what if you need to eat cat food because you gave them all your money for the DLC…. It’s Pokémon!

Fun remake of Pokemon Diamond and overall I'd recommend it.
Pros
Familiar remade pokemon game with updated visuals
Easy to pickup and play for anybody
Cons
I don't think this title should be $60 as its a 1 to 1 remake of a pretty old game.
Pacing is a bit slow in my opinion at certain points.
Neutral
Art style seems to be very divisive among the fans, I personally dont mind it.
