Reviews from

in the past


One of the single greatest games in the series and one of the best on the system. I've played this one so many times.

This is the worst generation of the 2D pokemon games

Favorite Gen, and this game just settled that.

love palkia but giratina is so cool


I'm skipping D&P because they'd just be the same review but slightly worse. This is such a great game, I understand why it's the favourite of many, the region is vast and exciting and so many great Pokémon designs, including revisiting older mons and reimagining them with evolutions which was a great trend to start. The pacing is very weird but the narrative works and is memorable, and the gameplay is hugely (hugely) improved with the physical/special split which makes battling much more dynamic (whilst still being turn based). We're nearing peak.

doing a coachlocke really made me appreciate the fear Cynthia's legacy has built

I am definitely not nostalgia blind and anyone who says otherwise is lying and cannot be trusted

The best gen 4 game. Fixed just about all the problems with Diamond and Pearl

brain chemistry permanently altered

this game served as a vessel for my antisocial tendencies.

SLOW but the story is phenomenal and this is the generation that got me into competitive.
