Hi

Where can we find the voting data of that video because not every pokemon was covered ❤

[@FletcherReedsRandomness]

The gap between how much people like Platinum versus Diamond and Pearl fully solidifies in my mind that when people were asking for a Gen 4 remake, they really wanted a remake of Platinum, and the Pokémon Company misunderstood all the requests.

[@Mystmon]

Having the Platinum Style just be the default winter outfit instead of being event-exclusive would have been better. And also, having all five of the BF facilities instead of just one. Why just add 1/5 of a Frontier?

[@toumabyakuya]

Either that, or people simply are too biased by their nostalgia and don't notice all the mistakes Platinum committed.

[@4er4844]

Gamefreak didn't misinterpret anything. The recent leaks show they originally never intended to make a Sinnoh remake, and outsourced a very low effort, ugly, buggy, and "faithful" remake of DP at the last second incase people didn't like PLA. I enjoyed Arceus, but it's very unlike the other mainline games and isn't really Sinnoh. I think it sucks DPPt will likely never have its own HGSS/ORAS-type remake with Pokemon from after Gen IV in the dex, Sinnoh's cities and landmarks will never be reimagined in full 3D, the gym leaders, stat trainers, and elite 4 will never have new outfits, the starters will never have Megas or other battle gimmicks, the Battle Frontier will never be brought back with modern QoL mechanics, the team galactic plotline will never be fleshed out, etc. It feels Gen 4 fans were really given the short end of the stick

[@toumabyakuya]

@@4er4844 *"and outsourced a very low effort, ugly, buggy, and "faithful" remake of DP"* BD/SP is nothing of the sort. It is high effort, being buggy isn't a problem (just see OoT) and being faithful is a good thing because it avoids the mistakes of Platinum. *"I think it sucks DPPt will likely never have its own HGSS/ORAS-type remake"* And that's a good thing.

Ultra sun/moon are probably some of the strangest Pokémon games to exist. I have a feeling that the content in usum was originally planned for sm, but due to constraints, they had to change the later part of the game and didn’t have time to add some features like mantine surfing and ultra wormholes. It definitely should’ve been a dlc or a content update instead

[@noahberan6498]

The vision with USUM was to create a parallel universe to SM, where different things happen due to different events in SM happening or not happening. I think it was successful, but I do want a SM sequel

[@RRRR-jr1gp]

It literally was, the recent leak all but confirms it SM imo was saved by tons of scrapped XY content being put there SS and SV didn't have that so they ended up being starved

[@harukaze7388]

The whole development at that era was such a piled up mess and the leaks show: 1. They cut out their Gen V plans early to rush out XY for the 3ds. 2. They cut out pretty much most of XY to get it out in due time with the full intention of putting the rest in ZXZY. 3. They cancelled ZXZY to release Sun and Moon on the series' anniversary, salvaging and repurposing whatever they could. 4. They cut out a ton of content from Sun and Moon to get them to release in the anniversary. 5. Ultra games are made out of the scrapped content. Probably didn't have time to design a proper sequel. The development was literally running half a whole game late for years. Then because they used up all their assets *and* were on a whole new hardware leap they just kinda, had nothing.

They truly are the Heart & Soul of the series. I feel that Heart Gold & Soul Silver are the point in which they perfected the 2d art style, taking the Pixel graphics to their best. Black & White would also use Pixel Art, but there were 3d tricks used in it that distort it a bit. These two games are where Pokemon Peaks for me. Legends Arceaus is good, very good, and I hope it is the model they follow going forward. However, the nostalgia for Heard Gold and Soul Silver for me, keep it at the top of the list for now... and probably for a long time to come.

Maybe it's because they're the ones I grew up with and I revisit them regularly, but I'm really surprised that RBY are so low on the list, especially when more recent games have been so controversial with their changes to the formula. Nostalgia really is a powerful influence! Not surprised at all with the top few though - all well deserved placements.

[@johnny-smith]

I think the reason RBY is so low just comes down to FRLG being close to 1:1 remakes with better graphics and Gen 3 mechanics giving little reason to go back to Gen 1.

[@Mysda_]

As someone who grew up with Gold and Crystal, I cannot understand how people focus that much on the remake. For me Crystal still holds up and make the remake kind of unecessary . But I guess I'm old now.

[@kryzethx]

Both RBY and GSC are great games, but they are lacking so many quality of life changes that were improved by future games (especially by their respective remakes). Having access to more Pokemon, more features, and more mechanics is generally a good thing, and makes basically every future game stand above the originals. Personally, I don't think I could ever go back to them anymore. I replayed them once on vc, and had a good time (mainly making use of exploits, like skipping past the trainer who blocks Pewter City exit, using Trainer-Fly glitch to delete a Snorlax from the map, and using the pokedoll against ghost Marowak, to skip around the region and fight gyms in basically any order I chose) Then after having a taste of a vanilla plus romhack (which added running shoes, quick use of HM's on the overworld, fixed battle mechanics, and improved movesets), I could just never play through the base game again; it's simply too slow and archaic feeling.

[@Marowak31]

@@Mysda_ If you grow up with it you may not see the big flaws the game has. The biggest of all - relying too much on Kanto. Of all the gen 2 Pokemon, the vast majority of them either suck or is available at the end of the game. Barely any Johto Pokemon in usable. The gym leaders themselves have Kanto Pokemon with no reason at all. Also, the level curve is completely trash, with trainers in Kanto, so after you beat the league, having level 30~ Pokemon, making exploring Kanto more boring than exciting, also because you have already seen all Kanto Pokemon in Johto. There are other flaws like the lack of proper dungeons and a weak story, but there are the biggest ones. HGSS do a great job of making most of Johto Pokemon usable and adding a ton of content - from the Pokehatlon to the Voltorb flip minigame - from the Safari Zone to the Battle Frontier

[@Mysda_]

@Marowak31 But they didn't fix the level curve nor the pokemon available right? To me it felt like the same game in 4G, so I never finished it completely.

I agree with BDSP, it was a downgrade from ORAS. It took me too long to complete because I had to take breaks due to boredom, like how Kirby Star Allies took me months to complete because of how bored I got playing iy

Especially since Houndoom is busted for anyone that didn't choose Chimchar, and Magnemite is the only electric dual type obtainable before the nat dex...

I'ts kinda funny how when I finally started to enjoy pokemon again the internet decided that scarlet and violet were the worst the series has ever been.

[@spiderfanmaniac9783]

This needs to be stated because people have misconception. Red/Green are the original games and Blue came out later. For the international audience Red/Blue were made using Japanese Blue assets while using Japanese Red/Green Pokemon distributions. So Red/Green and Japanese Blue(International Red/Blue) are different games.

I don't believe Blue actually changed anything apart from graphics and some minor bugfixes (and pokemon spawn locations, ofc); the core game remained the same, so it doesn't really need its own entry either. Yellow is the first Kanto game to significantly change the core game (by forcing starter Pikachu and giving access to all 3 starters), so that's the only other Kanto game that gets its own ranking. He's not wrong for lumping all versions of Red, Blue, and Green into one entry.

[@Jrose11]

Based on these ranking I'm convinced many people voting do not actually play these games all that much and probably haven't played an unmodified version in years. I love HG/SS, but playing it at single speed in 2024 feels really slow. Meanwhile S/V has performance issues, but is one of the most fun RPG experiences on Switch and has moves the series forward in a huge way.

[@ronnythetoad]

I think the biggest issues with Gen 2 were it's level curve and main plot. While HGSS did improve upon Gen 2 in many aspects, these two fundamental issues did not see any improvements, which is why it's not a perfect remake imo.

Agreed, I think BDSP, SWSH and SV all got affected by this to some degree. Let's Go as well, to a lesser degree. Ruby/Sapphire in particular seem to have gotten the opposite, they're higher than I would have expected.

I grew up with Diamond and Pearl, and playing BDSP reminded me a lot of the good old days--isn't that what a game is all about?

It's better than the originals, I'll give it that. But I really wanted it to be more like HGSS and ORAS, adding more content and at least a few more Pokemon. I didn't want all 800 or however many Pokemon at the time, I just wanted Sylveon and the regional forms plus the evos for those like Obstagoon. It was alright to play, I just wish it was more. And that's not having unreasonably high expectations or anything, just add the regionals and Sylveon then fix the trainer teams up. .... Leafeon and Glaceon being still unavailable until postgame in their home region also nags me. Chibis didn't bother me, it was just a disappointment IMO compared to ORAS and HGSS when Pearl was my first game and I wanted it to have the same treatment.

HG/SS and OR/AS were absolutely goated remakes that I have nothing but good to say about, especially OR/AS which is my personal #1. Honestly surprised Crystal outdid Gold/Silver, but kinda makes sense with the first female protagonist though. B/W and B2/W2 are extremely underrated and I actually picked these up on a whim some years ago, but several after their actual release. Extremely unexpected but pleasant surprises with those. The rest after OR/AS, I really can't give an opinion on since that was my last one I actually played. I never actually played D/P, even the originals and I nearly went and got the remake, but didn't end up following through and I seem to have dodged a bullet on that one lol.

[@harukaze7388]

It's hard to see if you just look at them at a glance, but going to vanilla Gold/Silver after Crystal really really shows just how way much more did Crystal did. People who say it didn't do much different are wrong. Gold and Silver are actually way more primitive than people remember-- the phone system is very bare-bones, it's Crystal what gives each character a personality! A lot is polish, but it goes a really, really long way.

[@ShiitaKitsune64]

I love many things about PLA, but one of my most favorite things about the game is how fast and snappy it is, I don't feel like battling and catching pokemon drags on and on so unnecessarily like in so many other games. My next favorite thing about PLA was all the little fun bits of world building and exploration it has, it feels like one of the "fullest" pokemon games because of this. For example, there were so many little side quests that helped the villagers of Jubilife gain more understanding,respect, and friendship with the pokemon they previously were so afraid of, which tied so well to the main stories and characters and their struggles with connecting positively with the pokemon world It's funny though, I think your critical rating of 7.75 is too high of this game, I think 6.5 is even a bit generous giving all of the issues the game has, but I seemed to have more fun with the game overall than you did. Sometimes the personal "fun factor" matters much more than we think lol.

[@Clemehl]

PLA added immersion by removing the tediousness of turn-based catching. Sure, it is an ugly tech-demo. But it gave enough freedom for the player to explore. The mechanic were good enough to make it somehow addictive, with Pokémon populate the world (with logical spawn) and have some behavior than just being there wandering aimlessly. It felt good after Pokémon USUM (many felt as DLC not justifying a full-price game, expecting a B2W2), LGPE (a good looking but dumbed Pokémon game, oddly I like it "better" than FRLG), SwSh (a linearity that the Wild Areas didn't compensate for, a scenario being confusing and frustrating as if the game had no vision) and lately, the disaster BDSP. PLA felt like different. It wasn't a cashgrab, had some difficulty, vision and a soul, the opposite of the 4 previous games. Sure, PLA is a glorfied tech demo but... it was the breath of fresh air. It felt like the first "good" Pokémon on the Switch, therefore being the "best" on that console.

[@pokedude720]

For me, It was fun having the original tag line "gotta catch em all" actually be relevant again since that's what you need to do to get Arceus. So mich so that on my 1st playthrough I did a "Professor Laventon" challenge where you get all the pokemon you can before beating the nobles. Also, just exploring the world with the Wild Pokemon actually feeling dangerous, and the cohesiveness of catching w/o stopping, or the new styles in battle with their trade offs of power vs speed.

[@SunshineCasy]

Let's Go is underrated. The graphics are so clear and crisp, the Pokemon on the field are expressive and scaled perfectly so they're not too small and not too big, and the following/riding system is pretty much perfect. I appreciate the painterly effect newer Pokemon games go for, but to me Let's Go still has the best look in terms of simplicity and effectiveness.

[@Finnishmanni]

Only differences in emerald to R/S are Wallace is beat steven and became the champion. Cutscene that shows the giants fighting and rayquaza coming to stop them. End game battle frontier. Thats all. In the story theres literally no reason to get emerald over R/S, unless you want to beat the battle frontier. Oh and like 3 more double battles. Otherwise its the exact same as R/S

[@kryzethx]

Isn't the Emerald Magma Hideout an addition to the game though? In both Ruby and Sapphire, the evil team's hideout is off the coast of Lilycove, which is changed in Emerald to being specifically the Team Aqua hideout, while the Magma hideout is placed in the Jagged Pass. You also get to see the two teams interact at least one or two more times, apart from the Meteor Falls and Mt Chimney events. I think you see them both on Mt Pyre, getting the two colored orbs, and then once more in the sea, after they summon the beasts? Either way, the main story makes more sense, with both evil teams fighting against each other and accomplishing their evil goals, as opposed to one of them being basically labelled as the "good guy" in Ruby and Sapphire. Though having Wallace as E4 champ is a steep downgrade from Steven, thematically speaking Also Emerald has the dupe glitch in the Battle Frontier, so that's an instant win for me

You cannot determine actual popularity on basis of few thousands responses that is obviously biased based on your content. Sales is actual metric.

[@Giokai]

I LOVE POKÉMON LEGENDS ARCEUS!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Technically as terrible as Scarlet and Violet, but there is a difference. It has style, it has vibrant colors, a cartoonish cel-sgading that imitates the style of Ken Sugimori (hundreds of times better than realistic textures). The scenarios are different and with an excellent level design since the game is structured in a progressive way in making you unlock the various movement abilities. In SV you could very well take the climbing first and literally break the game. Such a good game *SPOILER FOR GENERATION 10!!!* Let's hope that the islands of Gaia are structured in the same way as Legend Arceus. ZA will definitely be divided into five areas for each square of Lumious City. Maybe dividing the maps in a progressive way is the best way to bring Pokémon to 3D

[@toumabyakuya]

@@Giokai That wasn't the problem I was talking about, I actually love that. The problem was that the rank system would usually lock me from progressing into the story till I obtained one or two new ranks and am sorry, but the Pokedex missions are boring and repetitive. GF didn't create them based on the Pokemon that would have them, instead they created around 15 or so kinds of missions and then gave every single Pokemon a set of those 15 missions, meaning that it quickly becomes boring when I am forced to catch X number of a Pokemon or to win Y number of battles with an specific Pokemon.

[@Giokai]

@toumabyakuya I understand that part can be a pain. When I played it, at the end of the first area I was already rank 6-7, which allowed me to do any other area of the game without problems. It never bored me since when I played it I was aware that increasing the rank of the Pokémon increased their chances of being shiny. But not everyone cares about having Pokémon of a different color

[@Giokai]

One thing I think everyone can agree on are the OSTs. Really immaculate. In LPA for the first time in the series there are OSTs lasting 3 and 4 minutes, some even 6 minutes like the Jubilife village, therefore not repetitive and beautiful to listen to (also because as we were talking about, in each area you spend a lot of time).

How about which shinies have the best color? Say a survey like the pokemon rankings one, but it shows the normal and shiny versions and the surveyor rates how good the shiny is on a 1-10 scale

[@Haou1828]

"Pretty visuals" and "Legends Arceus" really do not go together. I admit the changes are good and I had fun with it but did you see the "swamp"? The story was boring (except for the final boss, I LOVE it), the gameplay extremely repetitive, the visuals atrocious and the game buggy as hell. It definitely does not deserve 3rd place. I am excited about ZA Legends tho, I hope Pokemon Company learns from their mistakes (copium).

[@kryzethx]

I think it gets third place by virtue of being a completely different kind of game, compared to the rest in the series. I really enjoyed the wild area capture gameplay, though for anyone that wants more strategic turn-based battles or a deep story with well-written characters... well, Pokemon is probably not the series for you in general, because they've had more misses than hits in that regard. Personally, I enjoyed enough of the characters in PLA, and the capture gameplay to agree with the ranking. It's just *different*, and that's probably what most players want more than anything else. (also most casuals care more about gameplay than they do about graphics or framerate, as can be seen with the sales of SV)

[@lerdog]

Honestly LOVED the ranking, very close to my own! Some other thoughts: - Glad to see BDSP at the very bottom - Wholeheartedly agree with Sword and Shield's position, it's leaps worse than Scarlet and Violet - Hard disagree with Legends Arceus, something like #6 would've been a perfect position for it

[@Cloud_that_looks_like_a_cat]

Scarlet and violet is severely underrated

[@leaflizard8485]

Black and white and its sequels, at the time, were the first to have an actual story. The previous titles only really had loosely connected events, Outside getting gym badges and filling out the Pokédex

[@harukaze7388]

I think a problem with BDSP is something I feel people miss when looking at the other remakes. The other ones essentially brought an old game to be part of the current games, they were on the same standard as the big main game and counted as a sister game to it. FRLG, HGSS and even ORAS are unquestionably counterparts to RSE, DPPt and ORAS. They are part of the same group. A "generation" kind of was defined by a series of games, and these not only counted, but contributed to it. BDSP on the other hand... personally I'd seriously call it a side-game without hesitation. It's not at all in the same spirit, it's closer to an unrelated side project that has little to do with Sword and Shield. For it to count, it'd have to have been with the same significance as Isle of Armor.

[@anaxizard]

[@armaan6101]

[@Anko3342]

I think all Pokémon games are great and I'm very simple to please. However I still do have favorites, those being Gen 3, Gen 6 and Gen 8. So seeing Sword and Shield so low kinda broke my heart lmao. Played most of the games but I only don't plan on playing RBY and GSC because FRLG and HGSS seems like such better options to experience their respective regions.

[@kryzethx]

I'm really sad at how low Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee were ranked. As a longtime fan of the series, I feel like these games are overhated by impatient people who wanted a brand new game, instead of remakes. It's probably the best-running mainline Pokemon game on the Switch, with the most visually appealing graphics, and access to some newer Pokemon; it's just a fun time.

[@SMALLSandJOE]

I am more of an outsider to the series (Wild to say given how much time I've spent with pokemon) but I haven't played a TON of the games. Leaf Green is my all time favorite!

Best two Christmas presents I've ever had were Black 2 in 2012, when I was 8 - my first ever pokémon game (explains why I love the game so much) and Soul Silver last year age 19 (partially because it is great and partially because getting HGSS in *2023* is remarkable)

After the original Ruby and Sapphire, I took a long break from the series up until HeartGold came around which was my last Pokémon game so far.

I’m actually surprised Legends Arceus is high up there. I just didn’t like how you have to press on the joystick to dash. It’s not a bad game, though. It has my favorite starter, Cyndaquil. And it’s also a good idea for an open world Pokemon game

[@NANA-kf1cs]

3,045, that's a very small response rate for a global survey, especially for the size of your audience. Literally less than 1% of your subscribers.

[@syaieya]

I feel like as time goes on, Black and white will settle lower but black 2 and white 2 will hold high. The idea to have an exclusively new experience was so polarizing and the sequels feel so much more free to have fun. I do think nostalgia for sun/moon and its sequels will come in heavy soon enough. Those games have a vibe to them and outside of some uncanny expressions and a start slowed by silent, longwinded cutscenes the gameplay and challenges stand on their own. Arceus though, thats a game that will age the moment a sequel comes out. I expect it to fall like the original gen

[@mr.saturn7703]

Keep this coming, you could do with other games, i love this kind of content, specially from you!

[@99percent_]

I find it funny that one of the reasons to dislike SwSh is the dexit, while Ruby and Sapphire also had a cut dex. Yet, people love gen 3. Anyway, my faves are all gen 5 games and HGSS, and I’ve been playing every game on release since 1999 (when Red and Blue came to my country).

[@LightShady]

Agree with everything in this list, although Platinum was lower than I was expecting. I wouldn't be opposed to the newer games as much if they didn't make the exp share non-optional. Why did they do that? Makes everything so pitifully easy. Literally takes nothing to add an "on/off" button.

Thomas I love your videos but you need to acknowledge that 3000 people is an extremely small sample amount and that honestly, because of the style of your videos, your viewers (and therefore survey-completers) are most likely to be really young millennials or Gen Zers. That has a MAJOR impact on the results you receive. 3000 is such a small number of a very specific generation too.

[@Supreyo]

True that. To get reliable readings for most of the fan base we'd need a much, MUCH larger sample size (though it would be tricky to get so many to do a survey like this, unless it is kind of like Pokemon of the Year and the pokemon company itself releases the survey)

[@mrmen9874]

Does his content skew towards Gen Z? I find that rather hard to believe, as a millennial who lives with a Gen Z. This is absolutely not the kind of video he would watch; a well-paced, calm and thoughtful discussion on classic video games. Gen Z content would be far more heavily edited, with quick cuts and punchy sound effects, and a far more energetic yet biased narrator.

Unpopular opinion BDSP are very underrated. People complain too much because they wanted platinum content in the games, but… i think those remakes are better than the original diamond and pearl that in my opinion age like rotten apples. If a remake actually run and work better than the original that’s a fact that’s the original gen 4 duo is not good. Also Let’s Go is the wirst remakes and possibly the worst mainline games in the franchise because we could get better gen 8 games than baby pokemon.

[@Lonrok]

I already knew the first main line non remake game was gonna be Sword & Shield People disliked it more because of the environment around it than the game itself. It really seems that the time of its release is the problem, not entirely it on itself. Expectations were also a big problem for the game, as many people thought it would be a mind blowing upgrade from the 3DS games, even though it was not that much. In general though, I believe its a very underrated pair

[@lerdog]

Can't answer for everyone, but I disliked the game itself. With the addition of the DLCs the game is good (love Crown Tundra in particular), but SwSh base games are the most barebones Pokémon experiences ever. They did the absolute bare minimum with the region, the story and the mechanics.

[@kryzethx]

Ignoring the graphical quality, they still aren't exactly great, by Pokemon standards. The routes are very linear, with no caves or branching paths, barely any secrets or explorability, and the entire storyline and game feels just as linear, with npc's stopping you before every single route you enter. The story just seems to *happen* around the player, not having any meaningful impact for the most part; by the time the player arrives, the action is already over. The worst part is probably the elevator section near the end of the game, where you are literally just fighting grunt after grunt while waiting to reach the top. Then it just kinda ends shortly afterwards, without really much of a buildup or payoff. The friendly rival also feels way too similar to Hau from the previous game. There are some good things about the game, like Marnie and Bede being great characters, interesting new pokemon and abilities, postgame storyline was great, and the dlc areas were fun to explore, but the main meat of the game was just.. not great, imo.

[@toothycookie]

Naw dude-- they're not worse than XY storywise, but they dropped the ball in nearly every design aspect of that game top to bottom even before considering its dull attempt at the wild area. The DLC was something of an improvement, but not enough apparently because I couldn't even finish it. :'3 But I will say gen 8 and 9 get a little too much heat from the fans over things that are largely out of game freak's control.

[@cyberdrache8416]

13 reasons why BDSP are the WORST remakes of all time: 1. Faithfulness: Unlike other remakes, BDSP literally copy/pastes 90% of diamond/pearl(2006). You cannot copy almost everything from a 2006 game.. (Remember its 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. 4. 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. 5. 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'?? 6. 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. 7. 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.. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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.. 11. 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. 12. Standards: A 2021 game should adapt the standards from the latest games (Sword 2019). The BDSP-standard isnt nearly as good as Sword/Shield. Many items, many attack moves, renewable TMs, dynamax, new pokemon, old moves without heart scales, more customization,max Raids or ranked battle stadium. None of the mentioned were adapted into this game -> BIG Downgrade for 2021 pokemon standards! 13. Price: Dia/pearl/Platinum: 40$ and Copy/Paste BDSP with Bugs:60$ -> Bruh.. 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.
