    If you're a Pokemon fan, you're buying it regardless. My honest take on it is that the remake sucked. Game Freak would've done a way better job executing the graphics and I think the game is worth $40, not $60

    The BDSP game summarizes a lot of the core issues with the modern Pokémon franchise. It’s not bad persay, but more boring. I got this as a gift to play with my younger brother, but burnt out on it quickly

    The hm changes were irritating and there was'nt enough changed to make the game worth getting, but still a good game, albeit very lazily done

    This is a pretty average game unless you're blinded by nostalgia (like me) and is not worth $60 for a decade old game with some minor features.

    This game brought back many memories from playing the original Pokemon Diamond many years ago. It is a faithful remake and if you enjoyed the original titles, you'll enjoy this one too!
