Just like when Pearl & Diamond came out on Nintendo DS. Great game all around. I wish they would do more remakes on the switch let me tell ya. They would easily make $

JLiu –
Lots of fun for the kids. enjoyable for all ages..
LukeS –
It’s an okay game, but it’s not much better than the original, so I couldn’t really get into it…
Chris –
Fundamentally still a Pokémon in all of the ways that matter, but will not otherwise convince Gen 4-agnostics, like myself, that this generation is worthy of its consistently high rankings amongst fans.

Never played it tbh… got busy and forgot about it
HerlindaM –
Good Pokemon game wish it had instructions to the game
MoisesC –

cgranger001 –
Classic pokemon style gameplay. I had a great time going through it! Wish it would have lasted longer if anything!
CassidyS –
Diamond and Pearl have been my favorite games in the franchise ever since I first played them, and I loved getting a chance to play them with better visuals and on my TV. The underground has been improved massively, which is awesome because that was my favorite thing about the originals. Highly recommended for anyone who loved Diamond and Pearl growing up.

Nana –

DavidH –
The game was fine, I wasn’t really blowing me away but it was a decent game
jafoutz –
Good graphics and gameplay. Would rather play the original pearl but, I’m a little old school.
Dave –
I love it when it comes sealed. This game often goes on sale that’s why i bought it.
AntonioQ –
Great game , great nostalgia , takes me back too when I had the ds version
Turtleboy –
A must have for any Pokemon player. A great game for anyone.
ScootchMcGootch –
Got this for my kid’s birthday. She likes it well enough.
Rose –
Love this game. Brings back memories since I haven’t played Pokémon in almost 10 years
CrisG –
There are better pokemon games out there. This remake was fine, still fun to play but nothing special really.
DaneWorms –
A mediocre 1-1 remake of the inferior versions of the Sinnoh Pokémon games. Need I say more?
Bear –
Daughter loves playing Pokémon on her switch. She enjoys it
MamaH –
If you like to collect Pokémon and like to play, this a good buy.
SparkyR –
My kid wanted to play Pokemon, and this game delivers. It’s a refresh of an older title, but at 30% off, we don’t mind.
AndrewC –
great game for new and old fans. improved graphics and gameplay
Unknown –
Exactly as the title says. It’s simply just a gen 4 pokemon remake. Honestly, if you’re on the fence about it, its an easy skip. The game doesn’t really add anything new besides a few revamps to things like the underground.
On the other hand, it actually takes AWAY a lot of things like every pokemon that was created beyond gen 4, and moves around the accessibility of things like Gible and the Razor Claw to only be available later in the game in comparisons to the original.
Atom –
It is a great game once you get pasted the chibi look of the character
Phillip –
Customer service great, game kinda stinks. Get a Ds.
Speeero16 –
Very faithful to the original game with some extra content! The style is reminiscent of the original Chibi-like characters when walking about the world, but then goes back to the more “proportionally accurate” character models when you are in combat.
Highly recommend getting when on sale!
xbananinjax –
Great game, but the original one is still better in my opinion, still worth getting tho.
GraydenL –
Absolutely love the nostalgia of the old game 100% recommend
whormongr –
like all the pokemon games if you like it , it is for you.
EvD1 –
This is a great remake to the Pokemon Series. I don’t know why it received mixed reviews since it played out exactly how the DS version did with the added mining mechanic which is actually pretty addicting. Having your secret base underground and finding the stone sculptures of pokemon was really fun.
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are pretty much enhanced spruced up versions of Platinum. They all have the same things that Platinum did except they do have specific pokemon to their versions. They’re great Pokemon games and if you loved Diamond and Pearl a lot, then definitely don’t sit and wait to get it. You know how Pokemon games get more and more expensive as the years go by.
Papa –
A great remake of a video game important to my childhood.
VicM –
Out of all of the Pokémon remakes have played this one is probably my least favorite. Despite the fact that generation four was my beginning in Pokemon and I was very excited for this, I never really got into it or started it because of the fact that it doesn’t really deviate or do much from the original in terms of Layout, point of view, and graphics. I understand outsourcing it but the problem is that the last remake ORAS expanded upon its original game giving it more of a 3-D look and a full rendering of the character. This version feels like a copy and paste of the original and although I kind of like that I wish it was a newer version similar to Pokémon legends with updated graphics in a 3-D look similar to Pokémon sword and shield.
EddieP –
Fun pokemon care. had fun and would recommend getting the game.
aarondun –
Played it for the nostalgia, and thats what I got. Got bored with it occasionally, but thats probably just because I’m getting older and my tastes are changing.
Srini –

CarlosA –

EliW –
Well made remake… kind of. I have good memories of the organic and enjoyed it but to each there own
Swag –
I’m gonna be honest, I dont play Pokemon. I bought this for my girlfriend, ans she absolutely LOVES this game. I like listening to her play with the music and sound effects!
ricky101 –
One of the best games out , definitely played it a lot!!
bossuche9 –
Gamefreak is lazy. The devs gave it to illuca which tried their best but gamefreak don’t care cause they know you will buy it.
Prawn –
These are the worst pokemon remakes hands down. They pawned them off onto another studio who clearly didnt have enough time or passion or both to make a polished game. The characters all look like gumby, the battle animations are awkward, and they royally screwed up the music. Avoid
