The graphical presentation and the background music are successful and round off the good overall impression. Still, there are a few weak scenes in the remakes. Those who would like to play with Pokémons again should take a closer look for "Pokémon Brilliant Diamond" and "Pokémon Shining Pearl".… Expand

It’s a perfect time sink while waiting for Arceus, the game that should be striving to further the series in terms of reinvention.

The game is so much more easier to play and have so many better features than the original games.

    The fact that people don't understand the difference between remake and a remaster is one thing. What drains me is that serious majority of people struggle with judging a thing they don't like as good (and vice versa). Music in this game stands in its own class. Graphical art style gives this game new identity. Quality of life improvements are present for games good. I don't see what is it that mekes this game worse than its predecessor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains will conatin spoilers be warned: I think this game is good/solid. Sure it's not the Sinnoh Remake that could have been but for what it is it's very passable. It's certainly at the very least the best Pokemon game on the Switch (in my opinion) at the time of writing this. If no one wants to read the entire thing I'll have a TLDR at the bottom:

    Some Pro's In my opinion:

    - The Sinnoh Region is still full of content Contests, Ball Customization, Hidden Caves and other Areas, etc. For those who don't know there probably are also going to be events regarding Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus again and its just like the classic games where you actually have to go to a new area and catch them as opposed to just receiving them from a random NPC in the Pokecenter.

    -The "graphics" are great in terms of the lighting, the water especially(seriously the water is awesome), and most of the background's in battles, the "chbi"ness of it is a little more divisive but I find it cute. When the game switches into battle mode the full sized character models also look well rendered.

    -The Removal of HM Slaves (don't really need to elaborate)

    -The Grand Underground is pretty big I'd even say it's more interesting than even the Wild Area as it's pretty much the same concept and is all pretty much flat land. However there's also the nice mini-game of mining which returns and the environments are cooler . It also adds in some more fire types and you can catch every starter from every region that's Gen 4 and below.

    -The Postgame: There's actually some good content. Gym leader rematches with competitive teams/movesets and a they use their Platinum Mons and have IVS. A Lvl. 100 Giratina super boss for his Origin form orb at Ranmas Park, Elite 4 Rematches with competitive teams/movesets and IV's ex. Aaron has a Lvl. 77 Heracross with guts and a flame orb on his 2nd rematch, Ranmas Park, and pretty much the same post game from Diamond and Pearl which honestly is only slightly not as good as Platinum's.

    - Following Pokemon(most of the time) It is cool that they have this. But there are times when they're a little annoying. Their walk speed isn't always in sync and because they're an actual object you just run into them and have to push them to get across sometimes. They also get stuck in some areas and have to teleport to you. It's fine for the most part though.

    -Miscellaneous: Different Outfits, Waaay Faster than Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, The Music is great and they even have DS Sounds in post game so you can listen to it as a bunch of MIDI's lol.

    - Good Intro for kids of this generation. I think Teens/Adults may find it less challenging than the Originals. But and this is just speculation I think the difficulty of this game can be a good challenge for kids. Mars's fight actually scared me a bit and any kid choosing Chimchar better grind to get a Monferno/Power up Punch before that first gym. And let's not forget Cynthia and Her 2 rematches all with stated perfect IV mons, a competitively viable team, and her Garchomp.

    Some Cons:

    - Removal of furniture/customizability for secret bases. Weird Decision on ILCA's part to not just have secret bases back entirely.

    - No On/Off toggle for EXP. All opinions/gameplay may vary but having the EXP. All makes the middle game really easy PROVIDED that you fought 90% of the trainers, explored every single area, and fought like 80% of wild encounters. It is a bit more manageable in early game since there aren't that many trainers/high level pokemon but middle game is kind of easy to clear. I had to try and avoid battling so much in order to be on curve. It is a bit better than previous entries as you're mons will only be slightly higher than the gym leaders. But It can be really abused. (Especially with the Grand Underground)

    - Slight Lack of Platinum Content ex; Battle Frontier, Resort villa, platinum story (there is a "distortion room" for Ranmas park but not a distortion world) While it sucks that this game is lacking these. I think the content added supplements most of these losses.

    - Return of Breakable TM's really weird choice but Is only an issue for those who are attempting competitive. In honesty I believe competitive will probably be staying in Sword and Shield. However I think this game also has a chance for it's own competitive scene. But VGC will most likely stay in SWSH.

    - Sound effects sometimes cut in and out(Idk if that's just me) not too big but it made me pause sometimes to think about it.

    - I bumped into stuff a bit because the chibi is a lot bigger than what I was expecting It was a little annoying not gonna lie. (This might just be a me problem)

    TLDR: I think this game is worth trying. At least if anything try it for the post game, the grand underground, and the chance to replay/start sinnoh with a new coat of paint.    … Expand

    Absolutely beautiful game, and great remake. The only issue I have with it is the friendship system, which can be very overpowered at times, and annoying because it add MORE text boxes in battle.
    Other than that, incredibly nostalgic to revisit Sinnoh, and with it looking prettier than ever, I am very happy with these games.

    They could do it better (for example, with more special content and without omitting mega evos, new Pokémon and regional forms) but the Grand Underground partly compensate for these lacks.
    Anyway, these games (both BD and SP) are a good way to approach the Sinnoh experience - since they are very similar to the original ones.
    Someone could despise the chibi style of the characters in the overworld...but in the end nobody should argue what the other ones like or dislike.

    Aloowe me to begin with the positives of this game. Number 1. The graphics are **** terrible. They're on par with the bad tree game and make me smell really BAD

    Number 2. The problems.
    Problem number 0.5/ The game lackes a way to obtain a furrent in the main story wihtout trading which means A. you need money ( you don't have any because you bought this game ) or B. you need friends ( you don't have any because you bought this game )

    ALl in all though, i'd say this is a worthwhile experience for the average pokemon fan enduring the time on the swithc. Main issues lie with lack of gamemodes, no control point and team battle really makes this game not as fantastic as the newest pokemon games like legends fartitucs but you have to remember these games are still good despite that mainly due to the addition of keldo.    … Expand

    Autant dire que le remaster, je l'attendais au tournant. Et je n'ai pas été déçu tout est exactement comme je m'en souviens en plus beau

    C'est vrai que les interactions sont un peu longues, les dialogues assez dérangeants et que les combats coupent trop le jeu
    Mais c'est finalement bien, car c'est fidèle au jeu de base sorti sur DS, et je pense que ce remaster en est le parfait exemple : remettre un jeu au goût du jour sans le dénaturer. Le multijoueur dans l'underground est parfaitement inutile mais c'est un prétexte pour se retrouver entre amis et partager de bons moments, et se créer des souvenirs...

    Je suis par nature extrêmement sensible à la nostalgie et ce jeu l'exploite parfaitement !
    J'aurais mis 10, mais c'est vrai que si tu n'as pas joué à la version ds à sa sortie, tu peux être insensible à pas mal de choses symboliques dans ce jeu.

Like with HM's, they didn't redesign the game or add any major new features. It just simply allows you to use HM's without needing you to assign them to a Pokemon. It honestly just seems like the same game just in 3D. I'm okay with the graphics, there sort of doing it like in Link's Awakening. But what ultimately disappoints me is how this compares to Ruby and Sapphire Remake. I had no love for the original games since I didn't grow up with them. But I love the remakes of those games. Now 7 years later I finally get a remake of my first Pokemon game and, it feels lazy. With that said, there is plenty of enjoyment to be found here.

    I'm glad we have some quality of life improvements that I'm pretty sure were not there before but this game is also a pretty big downgrade when compared with Sword and Shield.

    The graphics are not great. The chiby aesthetic is pretty ugly. It's annoying how the game constantly switches between regular, big models and chiby stuff during play.
    When gen 3 got a remake, it looked like latest gen games, not something much older.

    There are also no more pokemon roaming in the overworld, sadly. When Let's go introduced that, I was expecting it to stick for all future titles.

    Needless to say, it has all the usual issues of pokemon games. Easy, boring training battles, repetitive models, predictable story, etc.

    All in all, I'm still finding it fun but if you've played gen 4 already or if you didn't like any of the previous games, I'd stay away from it.    … Expand

    Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are faithful remakes of the 2006 Nintendo DS games. They probably lean too much on the safe side, not achieving an awful lot to improve on the originals other than a few quality-of-life improvements. The improved Underground sections are a welcome addition, but the missing features from Pokémon Platinum are a big let-down. All in all, though, the Sinnoh region offers just as brilliant of an adventure as it was 15 years ago and the formula that worked back then (and then some) is still as addictive to this day. If you are a fan of classic Pokémon titles, this is a no-brainer.

    I honestly think ILCA's decision to play it safe was the biggest thing that hurt Brilliant Diamond. Maybe if it had included a few more of the story beats and improvements that were introduced in Platinum, I'd be giving it a higher grade. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 66]

    Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is a decent remaster transferring the fourth generation from Nintendo DS to Switch. The authors handled well the absence of the second screen, but in the case of game mechanics they could go a bit further.
