I had more fun playing Arceus than Shining Pearl. I have played at least one mainline Pokemon game from each generation. Though there are some nice new things in BDSP, I have played Platinum enough that SP felt like a slog. So maybe its more of a personal thing. Arceus is a breath of fresh air for a fan like me who has been playing pokemon since FireRed was released back in 2004

[@LittlestPetShopPup]

Shook that I agree completely with what ur saying and I also started pokemon with fire red 😭😭😭 (I played like pokemon stadium and pokemon snap on my N64 I didn't have a Gameboy but ONCE I DID- IT WAS FIRE RED TIME!!!!)

[@falsetheory5818]

I agree with you. I couldn’t finish brilliant diamond but I’m loving arceus.

[@gamerblondie28twitch58]

Understandable! I'm trying to replay through Brilliant Diamond while my gf plays Shining Pearl, she's playing through this game for the first time so it's fun to see her reaction to the games!🥰

[@DarunaDick]

@@gamerblondie28twitch58what is the difference between brilliant diamond and shining pearl?

[@MyShihtzyLife]

I totally agree on the amount of time waiting to battle to planting.. I ended up not planting anymore later on the game as well. But I do appreciate the exp share. It's just so hard to find time to play all (backlog) games and just not very fond of the grinding part to level up a character. But it's still a very fun casual game, especially a great breather after finishing a hard game.

[@Elli_The_Destroyer]

Love your channel it’s nice to see other women in gaming do such wonderful reviews! I have never played a Pokémon game but you have me curious for some of them on the switch I just bought!

[@mrfox5117]

I guess my problem with this game, is it's highs are the highs of every single other pokemon game. Like, I get it is a remake, but this is so faithful it almost inches into be a remaster with different visuals- and I guess some people prefer it that way

[@Ashley-lr4jy]

Ive been having my eye on this game. Normally I wait for your reviews but I bought Wytchwood on switch and I am in love. The art, the dialog its beautiful. Almost like grave yard keeper lol.

[@handheldhavoc6635]

I have yet to play the remake myself yet, but I am enjoying Arceus so far! It needs a little bit of patching in my opinion haha... but can't wait to delve back into Sinnoh!!💪

[@gamerblondie28twitch58]

I bought Diamond while my gf bought Platinum, so we can trade for the version exclusives!😅 enjoying playing Diamond again after all these years!❤

[@gingervirux8963]

I finished Shinmegami tensei V in 60 hrs and I enjoyed it. Have plans to play new game plus in the future. Great review

I'm recently playing the GBA emerald pokemon and I'm so satisfied with just the simplicity of graphics and concept. Why more when it works so well already? Liked your snownamewriting btw 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much for the review of brilliant diamond. Since I did not play the original version of the game and after watching your review I went out and bought shining pearl. I love the game so far. Thanks again 😎

[@alexisfeliciano8572]

Hi how are you? I’m the one that suggested you doing a podcast series. I saw this video and found out that you have a podcast. I’m really happy that you have one. I’m sure it will become very successful 😊 😎

[@zidkins]

Ircha love your commentary about the game and the transitions on your video! Your shiny white eyes match your hair too 😍

[@steohc]

Another great review. Agree with a lot of the things you said. I found the game too easy, but I still had a lot of fun with it because nostalgia. Also I have been really enjoying the Diskydisk podcast, it's so much fun 😄 I listen on my walk or on my commute to work. Looking forward to more episodes.

[@dun0790]

I needed a nostalgia dive and this has been fun i do wish it went further but still my favorite Pokemon this gen not played arceus yet

[@ralffii59]

The whole game was really easy til I got to the elite four 😭😭. Took me at least 4 hours to beat the champion. Probably the hardest battle in a Pokémon game

[@Josh_Stuchbery]

I loved these games on the ds but haven't played much of the remake. I was really hoping they would remake Sinnoh with fully 3d graphics, like in Sword and Sheild style. Seeing the mountains and the views in 3d would have been great, but I guess that's why we have Legends Arceus.

[@Matthew7772005]

Glad to see your review Irene. I like the game. I played Shining Pearl because my daughter played Brilliant Diamond. Truthfully I didn't care for the contest mechanism in the game. Too much like guitar hero and button mashing. Also I got lost with the whole honey on trees and berry stuff. I enjoyed the main aspects. For me the whole everyone in party getting experience I loved. I don't like all the grinding of leveling up each character. I am enjoying Arceus alot. I will be curious to hear what you think about it. The exploration is very fun. Thanks for the review.

[@wutwutdayum]

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

Which reminds me when will there be a news on the fourth update patch for both Pokemon Brillant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl games so we can finally used the Wonder Trade and Global Trade Station (GTS). I know there's Link Trade but Wonder Trade is the most important part of the games and makes it a lot easier, I don't know why they're not added to the games before released back in November but I'm guess that with Pokemon Legend Arceus release that they wanted wait a bit longer before it's finally updated but I'm hoping it'll happen at the start of February because I'm getting fed up of waiting and because be worth it🤞.

[@ircha]

Wonder trade, is that what I remember from the DS game? Free trading online with listings?

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

@@ircha It's true that in Link Trade that you can trade your Pokemon with another which is good but the problem is the trainer decision takes along time to decided or just finish Link Trade without trying. That's why I prefer Wonder Trade because it's random and automatical trade without having to wait around. In Global Trade you can trade your Pokemon for another Pokemon by placng the name and trainer who seen that name will trade his/her Pokemon like magic. I've been using these opinion when I first played Pokemon X and Pokemon Y Games since them with the other POkemon games before the start of Nintendo Switch of Pokemon Let's Go Pikach/ Let's Go Eevee.

I never played anything but pokemon red back in the gb days as a kid and wanted to give it another try with the switch and i went on reviews that basicly said that most modern adaptations are too beginner friendly so i went with this remake. Just started and enjoying it this far, but im wondering.. whats the most challenging pokemon game and whats the most challenging pokemon game on switch? Cool video, keep it up 👌

Do i get Dimond or pearl or both

[@Josh_Stuchbery]

Just get one or the other. They are essentially the same thing.

[@LynnStrifeTsubame]

Still on the fence whether I should get this one! I once played Platinum for a bit and (unpopular opinion, so sorry!! x"D) didn't really enjoy it - at least, not as much as Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, which stole my heart and will forever keep it. But I think the remake looks super cute and maybe I just wasn't in the right mood while playing the original back then? Or maybe making too many comparisons to other Pokémon games. Kind of feel like giving it another shot with this remake, though. But I'm still deciding :D Thanks for your review, Ircha! Love your channel!

[@ircha]

Legends Arceus is also a Pokémon game! 😁 Good luck on deciding 👍❤️

[@LynnStrifeTsubame]

@@ircha Thanks!! I’ve actually ended up buying Shining Pearl and I’m enjoying it so much! Really glad I decided to get myself a copy ♥️♥️ Oh, and PKMN Legends Arceus is definitely on my to-buy list, I’ll check it out in a few months 😁

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

Pokémon hand holding is out of control imo I played Pokémon as a kid so I find it hard to believe kids now can't handle the slightest bit of difficulty in these games. Don't get me wrong the series was never hard per se but they had their tricky moments now everything is overly explained to them even the moves shows what's effective or not

[@yakumorisuke9403]

The thing is that the originals look fine - and the graphics are the only thing really updated. So...I just went back and replayed them on DS. I mean, even if you don't HAVE a DS, you could buy a DS for, like, £15-£25, and a copy of Diamond/Pearl for about £5-£8, so it's cheaper to literally get the console and game than to buy the Switch version.

[@silver.gambit9107]

[@craftavenuecreations4931]

Ok so I’m about 8 hours in and this game is sooooo easy. There’s like no point in leveling up Pokémon or gaining potions or anything. Does it get ANY better or am I wasting my time? I don’t want to continue if it truly doesn’t get any better than this :(

[@huojin01]

I’ve played the original Diamond and looking at this I see it’s much improved and modernized. Yeah it’s better to make it easier than harder. I’m sure it’s for those new players who have never played it. You make it too easy and it’s not challenging, make it too hard and no one wants to play it; in particular newer players. Anyone who wants a challenge go battle online against other players around the world. I’m sure you’d get the beating of your life when you thought you were good and go online to get destroyed by someone else. LOL Unless you’re truly good then you’d be doing the beat down on them. Glad to see they brought back the following/walking buddy pokemon and player customization. Definitely a few of the best upgrades not seen in the original. The Diamond/Pearl remakes joined the only few games to have the walking buddy pkmn feature.

[@SheLovesVampires]

Wondering which is your favorite pokemon game!! Pearl DS was definitely my favorite one. My brother got Brillinat Diamond so I will steal it at some point but I agree that it hasnt changed enough to be worthy of 60€.

[@Dead_Hitori]

One of the things I just hate about the game is the chibi, if they did a real remake and made it look like sword and shield, then it would have been one of the best pokemon switch games

[@dentargayen2611]

Agree with you the game is way too easy. I wish they didnt put the effective or not effective in the moves, you’ll eventually find it out anyway. It takes away the fun of experimenting your moves. The only pokemon game i played in switch is shield and it was too easy that i finished it so fast then sold the game because i cant imagine myself playing it again. The gameboy and 3DS games are way better. I wish they also made the effort of putting voice acting even if just for major storyline or scenes for a change in new pokemon games. Not a big deal but still a change.

It's a decent game, not sure if it's worth $60. It's pretty much a remastered version of the original Diamond and Pearl. I got it as a freebie for my new switch I bought from a game shop.

[@2044cj]

Great review

[@megsthebookworm6432]

Very nice video! I agree it was very easy compared to the original games. You made some good points :)

[@itsmesteve1081]

I only bought brilliant diamond because they had the special manaphy egg going on. If it weren't for that I wouldn't have bought it, probably. After I got the egg I never played the game again. It's been like what? 2 or 3 months? The reason I stopped playing after I got manaphy was because I saw gameplay of it already on KZbin and it's basically identical to the original pearl and diamond games. Pretty much to a fault. I still have all 3 original diamond pearl and platinum. Why would I play these games

[@nedargiordano7018]

NOT worth $60 dollars, im waiting for a price drop on this game

[@offroad5798]

Pokemon games have always come off as super lazy efforts by the developers and just cash grabs because there's people out there that will just buy it because it's pokemon. They're literally all the same games. It's sad people fall for it 🤡 Hoping Arceus is different

[@cyberdrache8416]

In my opinion BDSP are the worst remakes of all time. Here are some reasons why: 1. Faithfulness: Unlike other remakes, this game literally copy & pastes 90% of the game from diamond/pearl. Diamond/Pearl are games from 2006. You cannot copy almost everything from a game that more than 15 years old. (Remember this is a remake not a remaster!). Almost everything is copied: All dialogs, the storyline, the chibi art style, the national dex, old pokemon encounters and even the Poketch were copy & pasted to this game. Pokemon games have been improved in the past years and had many quality of life changes like 3D art style, overworld Pokemon encounters and reusable TMs. None of these changes were adapted to the game which is just sad. This game is too faithful and faithful sounds more like a excuse for lazyness. 2. Not-Platinum-Based: So they copy & pasted 90% from the old Sinnoh game but not based on Platinum? Diamond & Pearl had several weaknesses and Platinum fixed many of them and included many Quality of Life changes. Here are some Platinum improvements over Diamond/Pearl: It extends the storyline with additional content, new dialogs, new characters like Charon and a new map Distortion world (loved it). The rival was a bit too weak in Diamond/Pearl which was fixed in Plat. The Poketch has a reverse Button. It has the battle frontier. And finally: the Sinnoh dex which was baaad in Dia/Pearl was fixed. The bad sinnoh dex in dia/pearl has only very few Fire Pokemon (very weird). Gym leaders were forced to use weird mons in the main game like Electric gym leader using Octillery or IceType gym leader using Medicham (WTF? Despite Sinnoh having enough Ice/Electric mons) and also many sinnoh mons were restricted to the postgame. Thats means many of the favourite sinnoh mons cannot be used in your team for the main story. But Platinum fixed this issue and created a NEW sinnoh dex which fixed all these issues which made the main story like a sinnoh game. ALL of these great changes of Platinum where NOT included in BDSP. This means BDSP uses the OLD sinnoh dex, OLD dialogs, OLD storyline, NO new character like Charon, NO distortion world and NO battle frontier. That makes BDSP a worse Sinnoh remake than Platinum which was released in 2008. (Imagine a 2008 DS game of the same Region beats you in ALL aspects. WTF) 3. EXP-Share & Friendship-System: One of the most hated features is the EXP-Share system which often leads to WAY more exp than in the past games. In my opinion, the EXP-Share is not too bad. BUT diamond/pearl were not designed to be played with the new EXP-Share system. So if you include an EXP-Share system, you have to increase all levels of the pokemon (from opponent). But they didnt which makes the difficulty of this game too easy.Basically, my whole team was too oveleveled. And the friendship-system is the worst luck-based system i ever saw. A feature that increases the Critical hit-chance,removes paralysis, lets me dodge 100% accurate moves and even lets me survive moves with 1HP. WTF did you smoke gamefreak? And the worst is that, you cannot make any of these optional. Because of that many players who love to do a nuzzlock in Sinnoh, prefer the old DS games. 3. No Innovation: This game not only copy & pastes the majority of its content, it adds nothing new to the game. Lets review some good remakes: HeartGold/SoulSilver (HG/SS) were Gen 2 remakes and included some storyline from Crystal and added many new stuff like the pokeathlon, battle frontier (from sinnoh), gen 1 map/storyline, a complete national dex and the pokewalker. HG/SS were not copy & pasted, but actually remade the game and added good new stuff. Also Alpha ruby&omega saphire (ORAS) have new changes like new art-style , new designs for Team magma/aqua, new Mega-forms, new Primal forms, changes to dialogs and storyline and the complete national dex. BDSP on the other hand does not provide any kind of major change in the game which makes this game really boring. It does have a new Underground which has overworld pokemon, but that is nothing special for 2022 and the ramanas park was neat but nothing too exciting. 4. Underground/Super-Contest: The old underground allowed to create your own living room with furnitures and set traps to troll friends online. Both were removed for a statue system which is really boring. Collecting statues and the effects of the statues are really disapointing. The Super-Contest used to be a fun-mode where you had many different options and varities and had to have good reflexes to do the correct moves at the correct time. Now all you have to do is Press A at the correct time and use 1 attack. That makes this mode so boring and disapointing. I mean, was it really that hard to let the player press like 4 different buttons instead of just 'A'?? 5. Art-Style: Many of us expected a modern review of Sinnoh in a 3D human like Art-style. But they decided to go for the Chibi-Art-Style. Everyone has different tastes but in my opinion the Chibi-Art-Style ruins many serious moments of the story line of this game, especially vs team galactic. It feels like all the emotions of the characters were removed. The reason why it was used in Diamond/Pearl was because of the limited hardware. In my opinion the Chibi-Art-Style waas the wrong decision and does not suit a switch game at all. 6. Only Gen 4: BDSP has a national dex which includes the pokemon from Gen 1-4 which is basically the same as Diamond/Pearl. As a player who would have loved to see at least some Pokemon from Gen 5-8 in Sinnoh, i am very disappointed. At least some Pokemon post Gen4, or some new forms or at least add Sylveon in this game. Not even mega-forms were included in this game. The fact that 95% of the megas are from Gen1-4 and the underground being the perfect place to grind the mega-stones, makes this decision even more disapointing. The reason why diamond/pearl was limited to Gen 1-4 was because there werent any other new pokemon. The reason why BDSP limited the game to Gen 1-4 is because of lazyness.. 7. PVP: On of the worst things in this game is everything arround PVP. The worst disrespect a main series pokemon game can get, is when GameFreak calls that all the competitive tournaments including the world championship will not take place in BDSP (WTF?). Unlike Sword/Shield, you have no option to search for PVP matches which makes it way harder to find battles. But the worst thing is the grind for a PvP team: TMs are not reusable (WHY?!). For some important TMs like Earthquake, you have to grind for 80BP (WTF. Thats a lot of Grind). Also you cannot catch pokemon with hidden abilities except those from poke radar. To get the hidden ability you have to grind for the ability patch for 200BP (WTF. Grind competitive to create a competitive. Nice system). By putting important PVP items behind such ridiculously high grind walls, it makes creating a PVP team disgusting. 8. Events: The events were also copy & pasted from Diamond/Pearl. Same Shaymin event, same Darkrai event. And other events are only accesible if you bought other main series pokemon game (Why..). And finally some garbage "events" which include some useless statues. Meanwhile, the 3 year old SW/SH getting better and innovative events like new PVP cups/tournaments and some legendary shinies. In my opinion the events in BDSP are disapointing. 9. Bugs/Glitches: Holy Moly! This game had so many bugs and glitches! You dont even need hacks, when the game itself has to many glitches. Many of them where completely broken. Many Pokemon clone glitches and item dupe glitches ruined the game. You could even get infinity money, create your own shinies (WTF), make your pokemon 6IV and let any Pokemon learn any move. I used to be in a discord for trading in BDSP and because of the glitches, the trade market was only about getting shiny 6IVs etc. Not to forget to mention the soft locks which made you restart the whole game which can happen for example in the ice gym. Usually every games has a few bugs. But this one had too many and too many game breaking glitches. A very hyped game like this shouldnt be developed by a 3rd party company.. But Gamefreak had other plans.. 10. Controls: The controls of this game feel weird and uncomfortable. Characters move in a grid which looks so weird during the storyline. The pokemon who follow me often block me in a bad way. The underground has many inivisible walls which makes moving in some rooms horrible. And finally the control with the cycle are the worst. The cycle in pokemon games are a beloved feature but in this game.. It feels so uncomfortable moving with the cycle, I sometimes even prefer walking. 11. The original Game dia/pearl and also Platinum was sold for like 40$. Meanwhile the clearly inferior game BDSP was sold for 60$. And now if you think about it: That 90% of the game was purely copy & pasted and has plenty of weaknesses and bugs, you realize that BDSP is just a cow getting melked -> Its clearly a rip-off! 12. Conclusion: It feels like GameFreak didnt want to do a Sinnoh remake but wanted to milk some money by releasing the highly demanded Sinnoh remake. The fact that, they hired a 3rd party company who never developed a major game, only supports this theory. Not forget to mention that, BDSP had a giant day one patch which was essential to enjoy the game. The fact that they released Legends Arceus almost 1-2 months after BDSP release also supports the theory, that they didnt care at all for this remake. Because of the release of Legends Arceus, the hiring of ILCA, the amount of glitches, the boring events, the exclusion of VGC, the 0 Innovation in this game and the fact that the majority of the game is copy & paste of a 2006 game (Dia/Pearl) which is worse than a 2008 Game (Platinum), makes this game the worst remake of all time in my opinion.
