Customers are saying

Customers find value in the engaging gameplay and nostalgic elements of Pokémon Shining Pearl, praising it as a fun remake of a classic. Many appreciate the improved underground feature and find the game easy to play, although some find the art style not to their liking and wish for more content beyond the original game. A few players also noted the game's difficulty as being unbalanced.

    Who doesn’t like Pokémon…. So what if they make 3-4 games a year leaving you little time to catch them all…so what if they make 2 versions…so what if you need to eat cat food because you gave them all your money for the DLC…. It’s Pokémon!

    Fun remake of Pokemon Diamond and overall I'd recommend it. Pros Familiar remade pokemon game with updated visuals Easy to pickup and play for anybody Cons I don't think this title should be $60 as its a 1 to 1 remake of a pretty old game. Pacing is a bit slow in my opinion at certain points. Neutral Art style seems to be very divisive among the fans, I personally dont mind it.
