    Feel like they should add better QoL features to this game if this is a remake to the previous games. You cannot toggle exp share, and game is slightly easier since your pokemon can avoid the attacker's move through the friendship system. though, with xp share that provides all your pokemon xp, it felt I was encouraged to change my team every once in a while since grinding for xp is easy.

    Fundamentally still a Pokémon in all of the ways that matter, but will not otherwise convince Gen 4-agnostics, like myself, that this generation is worthy of its consistently high rankings amongst fans.

    Pokemon games are always fun, don't ever listen to the negative reviews online, I enjoyed this game when it was released on the Nintendo DS, and it is even better now, my favorite part of the game is the underground, it is fun running around with your friends, digging for items and fighting Pokemon, the games are always long took me about 45 hours to finish.
