    No doubt these will sell well regardless of what I say, but if you're not already dying to play these, I would save the $60 for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, due out in January.

    The original Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were strange, uneven games. The remakes file them down to something still enjoyable, but textureless.

    I’ve spent years — the better part of a decade, since the Ruby and Sapphire remakes on 3DS — going through the motions with new Pokémon games, trying desperately to fight through superfluous features and recapture the magic of my childhood. But the Diamond and Pearl remakes’ simple, derivative, and basic formulas helped refocus my love for a franchise almost as old as I am. [Polygon Recommends]

    I'm having fun with this game and this doesn't deserved to be reviewed bomb
