Long story short, completely the worst game in the series in my opinion. Awful recommendation from one of my friends.

This game shows that the Pokémon company is willing to outsource their games to make something people will dish out money for, despite putting in the absolute minimal effort to make an enjoyable experience.

The amount of decisions to stay “faithful” to the original DP is baffling as the originals are likely the weakest of the series until Platinum, which boosted it to one of the best in the series. So many Pokémon are locked until the very end of the main story, the battles feel extremely slow for modern Pokémon, and the art style and musical direction takes the least possible effort in comparison to previous remakes.

If you enjoy this game, good for you, you may want to invest time into other games though as they’ll offer you a better experience than this game. If you’re an apologist for this awful display of a company taking advantage of its consumers, consider taking your opinions for this company off the internet.
