    Game is fun just like the originals I don’t think anything is really lost keeping it true to the original but imagine how much would have been gained If they tried to do it a bit more modern while staying true to originals. The water looks nice tho.

    Shiny hunting Arceus is the only worthwhile thing

    The most mid Pokémon game I've ever played. Nothing about this game really stands out, and it's really just the original but more 3D. Not worth it.

    Pretty typical Pokemon game. Not much different the previous Pokemon games. There is a professor. There are gyms. You catch pokemon and defeat gym leaders.

    I had this game around 2007 for the DS, so it was nice to play it with better graphics even though the switch isnt the best console. Still a great game

    Not a huge fan of this remake. I’m not really a big Pokémon fan but this still felt very cheap and I dropped it after a few hours. It wasn’t bad though, just not one for me personally.

    Hardly a difference between this and the originals from 2006. Graphically horrible and I don’t even thing they remastered the OST

    This game is okay but with scarlet and violet coming out I would probably pass on this game.

    Honestly... really disappointing. Not saying BestBuy caused me any issues, but good LORD the game sucked. I don't care about the graphics, I enjoyed that it was reminiscent of the game's original style... but this remake was just disappointing.

    Honestly, it’s a pretty bad remake of the original Diamond. Graphics weren’t updated or anything. I don’t recommend it

    Buy it if you wanna blow some money. All you are gonna feel playing this is regret. This game is nothing but propaganda for the next Pokémon game.

    Felt like a kid again, very nostalgic and true to the base games! A little disappointed they didn't have more Platinum content but I still think the game is solid and fun

    Very nostalgic - very happy to have gotten this game. If you're not expecting a top uber tier game and just want to sit back and enjoy a nostalgic classic I would recommend. I love the updated graphics and playing on TV is honestly the only way to go to just sit back in awe.
