    Bought for my husband for deployment. He really wanted it, I assume it’s a good game since I haven’t been told different

    I like it, and the upgraded mines were pretty cool. I just wish they added more effort to the pokemons walking animations

    It’s like playing the DS versions. Better graphics and better endgame though. Wish the GTS was active, guess I will wait.

    Nice review of a game I loved as a kid. Wish the graphics took a few more steps forward, but still an awesome classic.

    As good as you expect from a Pokémon game these days. Though the coloring they use is overly sharp in my opinion.

    I don't understand why chibis were implemented. When Cyrus decides to chain Dialga, I can't take him seriously because of the chibi. The game is full of bugs and glitches. It's too easy because of the EXP Share and friendship levels. The game is exactly like the original. But as a Pokemon fan, I'll still play it.

    A less than stellar remake of an old classic. The presentation just isn’t great has some glitches here and there. There are a few quality of life improvements to the gameplay but otherwise not as great as the original ds game.

    Same Games Repeated with Inflation Included Price

    Typical Pokemon Game. Same rock paper scissor mechanic as FJB and traditional gameplay along with very repetitive move animations makes this more of a cash grab than an update to the original. Think of this as the Let's Go Pikachu Eevee Fusion Brandon Series without the catching mechanic of those games.

    Good balance between being "faithful" to the original games and having more modern Pokemon features present.

    Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl is extremely faithful to the source material. Virtually everything found in the DS game can be found here. Hidden items, shortcuts, characters, everything, and to be honest, it was really good. The graphics chosen to model the characters was the same as the original (mixed with Let’s Go Pokémon games, thankfully moving away from the art style used in Pokemon Sword/Shield.
