copying my review from Brilliant Diamond since they're the same game
haven't QUITE finished these yet, but I'm basically at the Pokemon League so I think I'm close enough to give a decent review on it
a Diamond and Pearl remake really only had to do two things: a) run better than the originals, which unlike what a lot of Pokemon fans will try to suggest, is probably the single most rushed Pokemon games to exist, and b) incorporate Platinum content which.... they do a lot of weird half measures. they don't have the Platinum Pokedex but they'll have them conveniently hang out in the Grand Underground. no fixed major trainer (Gym Leader, Elite 4, Cynthia) teams.... until you rematch them. I get that they're trying to stay true to the original Diamond and Pearl experience but.... eh???
I wasn't stoked with the art style when it was first revealed but since playing through it's admittedly grown on me a lot... until they try to do the cut-ins. why is the anti-aliasing so bad in this game
music is fine. it's in that weird spot where I'm finding myself either wanting to listen to the originals or figuring that they're just as good as the originals. it's not offensively bad in this area the way HGSS was at least
the following Pokemon in the HGSS format is really great though. usually I find myself either turning it off or wishing I could turn it off in HGSS but I think this game really hit the peak of what walking Pokemon can be. really really wish more games had this system for it
would love to see ILCA eventually tackle a Pokemon game when they're not constrained to making an incredibly loyal remake tbh. don't know if that's an unpopular opinion or not
I guess my only major problems with the game involve a) Pokemon fans that want to act like they didn't piss and moan about how bad ORAS supposedly was for the last 7 years when they go off about this game being the worst game ever and who will soon later learn that DPPT is just BDSP in many cases except with a much worse engine and b) actually serious question. I still don't understand the demographic for this game. for Let's Go, Sword and Shield, and Legends Arceus you can tell right off the bat what market they're trying to corner. I can't tell with these games. are they trying to corner fools that dropped Pokemon after Gen 5 because they thought ice cream and gear Pokemon were too stupid? are they trying to get kids who have never tried a Pokemon game before to play?? are they trying to get people who wanna just walk down memory lane to play??
help!!!!!
