Bio
Started playing games in the early 2000s with the PS1, PS2, and Gameboy Advanced SP.
Next generation, I went with the PS3 and towards the end of that generation, I got my first gaming PC.
For the next one, I got a PS4 and later on a Xbox One, Switch, and 3DS.
The current generation, I managed to get a Xbox Series X at launch. I do have a PS5 as well but I don't play it very much.

Probably the best sequel I have played in a long time. It improved upon everything from the first game in every way.
The quality of life improvements & new content are nice.
However, the actual game is too easy, the story is boring, and the Pokemon you choose from pre-end game is poor (they should have included everything from Platinum).
I think the remake process was a 4/5, since it is pretty faithful to the original, but it should have been more of a Platinum remake instead of Pearl/Diamond remake.
The game itself is a 3/5 because I think it is on the bottom of the list of Pokemon games, next to Sword & Shield, in terms of enjoyability & holding my interests (which is why it took me a year to beat it, just to get ready for Gen. 9).

The story is pretty interesting & playing as the Banished is a nice change of pace. The objectives are really varied so it doesn't get too repetitive.
I am taking off 1/2 - 1 stars because the game crashed multiple times & my save wouldn't load at one point (turns out moving the game from the internal SSD of the Series X to the external hard drive fixed the save issue). There are also multiple times where you have to do a specific objective but it's not obvious because the waypoint marker blends in with the object.
