Decent graphics, this is a fun game that can be played friends. Playing friends can make the game easier. You can replay after you beat the game as the elite four are significantly stronger. The gym leaders can be replaced unlimitedly.

Love the series and love this remake as it remains true to a lot of the original Diamond And Pearl. Pretty fun to play and so nostalgic with updated graphics.

I loved it. Even with all the bugs and flows, it us a fun game thar stays true to the original Pokémon games.

Whether you are a nostalgic player or new to the world, this game is a classic and a great experience on the switch.

I really enjoyed this game as a child. I’m so glad they came out with it again. The graphics are awesome and game play is fun. Highly recommend

The game is certainly an improvement from the previous Nintendo Switch Pokemon games. The nostalgia was present and it was a true enjoyment.

Great remake of an original instant classic. Had tons of fun playing back through this story.

Don’t let the haters keep you from trying this one! It’s a blast and looks so clean!

Solid game without any bells and whistles. If you are wanting to re-live the original experience, you’ll enjoy this game. If you are looking for an enhanced version with new content, you might be disappointed.

So far a very good remake. This game keeps to the same artistic style as the original games, while improving graphics, user friendliness, and overall compatibility. I am only about half way through the game, but have spent roughly 30 hours enjoying it. There is hours of additional playtime through the improved Sinnoh underground exploration. Definitely a good gift for any child or child at heart.

Diamond and Pearl have been my favorite games in the franchise ever since I first played them, and I loved getting a chance to play them with better visuals and on my TV. The underground has been improved massively, which is awesome because that was my favorite thing about the originals. Highly recommended for anyone who loved Diamond and Pearl growing up.

Great game! I haven't played this game in a long time. The underground is also better than the last one. Recommended.

I'm fan of its series, the gameplay brought back some nostalgia feels of older hardcore type of game, which I was missing in some of its latest releases of pokemon, AND it is 1000% better than sword and shield for those, who hated the game for its obnoxious Dynamax battle and for its region and left a bad taste to play pokemon again, trust me its better in this one.

So much fun. Brings me back to bring a kid again. Cute graphics and updated gameplay like let's go Pikachu.

Purchased for my nephew for Christmas gift. He loved it. Said it was fun but difficult, (he's twelve).

Pokemon Shining Pearl is a nice remaster of a classic DS Pokemon title. Shining Pearl features a lot of the classic look and feel of the original title but with some current remaster techniques for a modern console. The overall visuals keep the original look and make the overhead sequences look as if you are looking at figurines of your childhood. All around this is a fun game and an experience worth playing through even for a second time.

Great remake of the originals for the switch. A lot of fun.

Pure pokemon comfort food. Felt closer to the games i grew up on rather than the new generations.

Another great game for the Pokemon series. Keeps interest high and waiting for the next one!

As someone who played the originals on the DS as a kid, I think the game did its purpose and brought back a lot of nostalgia to those who played the game before. I think they did a good job in adding some quality of life changes like not having to have pokemon specifically for hm moves, but the graphics of this game are not the best that they could be. The forced exp share on your whole team kind of sucks but I get that they did it for newcomers into the pokemon franchise. The game was fun for sure, but the price makes you expect more for a remake on a $40 game which now cost $60.
