    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I love these remakes! It takes me back to when I played the original Diamond, Pearl, and platinum. They make the story mode a little more competitive when you are battling your rivals, the enemies, and the elite four. If you’re looking for a challenging Pokémon run, this might be a good start for you!

    Out of all of the Pokémon remakes have played this one is probably my least favorite. Despite the fact that generation four was my beginning in Pokemon and I was very excited for this, I never really got into it or started it because of the fact that it doesn’t really deviate or do much from the original in terms of Layout, point of view, and graphics. I understand outsourcing it but the problem is that the last remake ORAS expanded upon its original game giving it more of a 3-D look and a full rendering of the character. This version feels like a copy and paste of the original and although I kind of like that I wish it was a newer version similar to Pokémon legends with updated graphics in a 3-D look similar to Pokémon sword and shield.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
