Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Decent remake. Doesnt evolve the pokemon formula, but it is fine for what it is. Its worth if if you grew up with Diamond/Pearl to revisit the game

Although I haven’t gotten the opportunity to play this game yet since my son has been monopolizing it I can say that it looks great. The graphics are really nice along with the graphics. I will have to wait in line in order to start playing it but I know it will be well worth it plus a lot of fun.

Pokémon at its best! As always the game is flawless and so fun to play.

So much fun playing, if you love the Pokémon games then get this one!

I've never had the chance to get to this Gen of Pokemon and so far I'm having a blast! I wish there was more to catch earlier on, seems like we keep facing the same Pokemon early on until you get to the underground. Overall though so far, this game has been great. I've always loved these games and am an OG Gen 1. Must get for all Pokemon gamers.

I'm so glad that Nintendo remade this, as it was the only mainline game I never got to experience. While not everyone will love the art-style, it is still a very fun game that holds up well. While the initial Pokedex isn't fantastic, it is a classic experience that can be beaten in about 20 hours if you don't overextend. I appreciate a game that embodies brevity these days.

Beautiful remake of a great game. They kept them very true to the originals.

The game was really fun, it was very loyal to the original in every way but with much better graphics, a lot of people complain about the chibi style but I feel like it really aided the experience with the nostalgia from the DS

I remember playing this game in the nintendo dsi and now im just happy that i can played it again on the swith! I still got the dsi game

I just got the game a month ago, and I can verify that it's a pretty good video game. I really enjoy the detailed and high quality of the graphics, it's pretty cool. I had so much fun playing it.

Just like when Pearl & Diamond came out on Nintendo DS. Great game all around. I wish they would do more remakes on the switch let me tell ya. They would easily make $

The game is great especially for those who played the original back in 2007, all gym leaders have an updated moveset making matches more competitive along with the added ability to shiny hunt almost everything. I would call this a must buy

Best game to revisit after 10 years. Bunch of new stuff added. Only thing missing is the platinum end game stuff

Extremely nostalgic. Sinnoh region was my first region and introduction for my love for Pokemon. P.S. Do not preorder at Best Buy because it will not arrive at all. Best to pick it up or find it in-store.

I got this game for the nostalgia of the DS version. Lived up to my expectations and exceeded them. The game is like I remember but has the feeling and graphics of a modern pokemon game. Good game, I would recommend buying on sale because $60 is a lot for a game that was originally around $30.

My kid wanted to play Pokemon, and this game delivers. It's a refresh of an older title, but at 30% off, we don't mind.

Art style preserves the feel of the original game while feeling new and fresh. If youve played one of these you’ve played them all to some extent. This happens to be one of the better Pokémon games I’ve picked up in recent years.

Pokémon Shining Pear shines bright! A nostalgic journey with new twists. Engaging battles, charming Pokémon, and smooth performance. A worthy addition to the series. Catch 'em all and embrace the nostalgia!

Absolutely a great game. I’ve been a fan of the Pokemon games since 2008, and though this is just a remake of a game I have already played, it had been a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend.
