Am I blinded by nostalgia? Perhaps I could be but I genuinely am having really fun with this game. On release night, here I am looking around my room at 3am in the morning, surrounded by my really close friends. Diamond and Pearl on DS was our first group Pokémon experience and here we are still playing and hanging out all night, hours flying by easily. Don’t think there’s a game that could bring us close together like Pokémon does. In our adult life, sometimes we can have a hard time keeping up with everyone, so I’m very grateful that Pokémon is something we can all do together.
