This pair arguably played things too safe. While they&#8217;re a slight improvement over the original D\/P &#8211; namely better speed and how they handle the Underground, though I wish they didn&#8217;t replace some of the unique secret base items with the statue mechanic &#8211; they also inherited the issues of the originals too. The devs didn&#8217;t incorporate any of the positive changes from Platinum at all. Previous remakes had some significant mechanic, plot, and postgame changes. This pair felt minimum-effort in comparison. Doubly disappointing for me since Sinnoh is my favorite region. Thankfully, Pokemon Legends: Arceus was a better way to scratch that itch.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never played Gen 4, are curious, and can get one of these two at a good discount, I&#8217;d say go for it. But if you want to experience the best that Gen 4 has to offer, I recommend buying, borrowing, or even emulating Pokemon Platinum. I don&#8217;t suggest emulation lightly, but older Pokemon games tend to be expensive even secondhand in my experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"@garfreek BDSP aren&#8217;t bad games, just very underwhelming compared to past remakes.
