I love the gen 4 pokemon games so of course it was a bit nice playing through this but if you alredy own pokemon diamond or pearl I dont think i would be able to reccomend these as its $60 for the same thing. My favriote part of pokemon remakes was the inclusion of new features or even just new pokemon. Despite me not liking them too much the gen 1 remakes ill let slide, but every remake since (hgss and oras) has added something to the game to make the journey not only a nostalgia trip but also an enhancment on the journey it self. With hgss you had access to new pokemon, following pokemon, new safari zone, etc and for oras you had mega evolution, more new pokemon again, and the story got enhanced too (and an amazing postgame). Bdsp had a few things added to it but ramas park and following pokemon are not enough to warrent buying this imo. even if you throw out the dexit argument, they didnt keep all the positive fixes platinum added when that released back in 2008. honestly if they added any sort of postgame story I would say its maybe worth it but this game could only be saved with mods (there are a lot of good ones in progress) or dlc, which i think is out of the realm of possibility.
