I thought that Gen 4 remake would be good and what I’ve been waiting for. But then I realized that it’s not. 99% that it’s the same thing from the original DP with very little new details (Nothing special) so I traded those worst remakes in for SV.
@10tailedbijuu I rage quit when fighting the lake trio and not being able to catch it and making me failing to it using nasty plot uproar and hit my ds against the edge of my drawer.
@@garchompelago soon that won't be a option, all of this is bought through third party sites even when you typed this it was far too late to get these games at a reasonable price.
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 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. As a player who would have loved to see Pokemon from Gen 5-8 in Sinnoh, i am 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 biggest joke is that dialga and palkia got new forms but not included in BDSP.. 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). 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 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/glitches! You dont even need hacks, when the game itself has to many glitches. Many of them where completely op. Pokemon clone glitches, item dupe glitches ruined the game. You could even get infinite money, create shinies (WTF), make pokemon 6IV and let 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.
I mean pokemon has been being rushed since x and y, although lots of pokemon games were rushed, the first few gens needed a lot more polishing, that can be justified, they invented some games that changed the world, everyone was playing them, but they were too ambitious and an indie super small team for gen 1 and 2, when platinum released after that every single game till b2w2 were masterpieces. The switch games is absurd, specially bdsp and swsh which are among the worst pokemon games of the main series games, sv and legends are both similar in that there are very good ideas and some very good stuff but they are both a dissaster, legends as a concept is a dissaster, how the world is designed, the jubidead town and everything, the catching system, how the game looks in the open area and the pokemon animations is the only polished things in the game, everything else is a dissaser even the lore, the game that was supposed to be lore heavy was crap and sv was pretty good in terms of story. SV graphically is a disaster but the open world is decently designed, although the lack of level scalling in a open world rpg is a very big issue, the game is very buggy, the cities are very bad with shops not even having interiors and being copy paste menus all of them, also the gyms not having good puzzles or interiors or anything like that, you cant rematch the elite 4, even in gen 1 you could... The champion is a dissaster... I had a better experience with sv than with legends, i think sv is better but both are a dissaster with unpolished good ideas. SV needed voice acting without a doubt, black 2 and white 2 in the ds had voice acting although they were simple words, but for the ds that was spectacular. Pokemon will never be again the quality black 2 and white 2. They set the bar too high with those games which are the best in the franchise imo, at least in terms of quality they are. With every single switch pokemon game i have felt scammed.
I remember one of my best friends trying so hard get me into the BDSP hype back then when it was announced all the way to it's release and tbh i'm glad i didn't went with it. Then again, the last Pokémon games i played in it's entirety was US&UM so needless to say i feel like i haven't been missing much with the newer gens since by the time i finished with US&UM i was already burnt out with the franchise.
@@pokerebels That's sadly the state we're living today, they can shit right in your front lawn and slap a Pokémon sticker into said shit and it will sell because it's Pokémon.
Honestly I didn’t have high expectations for this game. I just wanted a newer version of Gen 4 games and I got them. I wasn’t super hyped and I think that’s the problem. Don’t go into things with high expectations. I also never played platinum until recently. I also never encounter any major glitches other than the ones I intentionally used to get more rare candies
Sadly, it's the first pokemon game I bought and play on my switch lite... It was cheap, so I didn't think long to buy it. Now, I spend more time with Animal crossing than pokemon. Then again, Shigeru san did approve the project, so maybe there's some secret to be found.
I’d actually argue the difficulty is more erratic than easy. It’s super easy…until you get to the elite 4. BDSP has arguably one of the hardest elite 4 and champions in the main series. All E4 + Champion Pokémon have perfect IVs, are EVd to best maximize their stats, and have various items to reflect each pokemons strengths. It’s the one thing BDSP did right. But it’s jarring because NOTHING ELSE in the game is nearly that well trained. So you’re gonna be in for a shock when suddenly you get KOed by something you normally wouldn’t. Sure you could overlevel. But ease or difficulty of leveling up is not something I’d considered “skill” but more “tedious” since nothing stopped you from doing the same thing before at 1/6th the speed. You can switch party members around to avoid this. While I also wish you could toggle that off, I tend to get very bored when playing older games having to run around grinding constantly. The affection system I’ll give you. Though I guess I can’t complain too much since I only won my Nuzlocke of Brilliant Diamond due to my Garchomp holding on because it loved me.
I remember the #GEN4CONFIRMED meme. We all hoped for good games like gen 3 remakes At least now I am not waiting for gen 5 remakes I want Pokemon Legends:Kyurem
I loved em, though i was fine with the remakes how they were. If I want to get challenged in a game I play something else, I would rather play a game that takes skill as opposed to rng jesus giving me the crit or something.
To me BDSP seems like the worst of DP combined with the worst of modern pokemon and some half assed "improvements" which Platinum actually put care into making. That's why I didnt buy it.
I actually really enjoyed it. I haven’t played Pokémon in a long time but my love for this game as a kid takes all. The remake made me really happy because simply due to updated graphics and stuff.
Look i love bdsp at this point its been a year and a half since release im just tired of everyone beating a dead horse. I dont care for the battle frontier, too many random gimmicks in most of the battle facilities. Im happy with bdsp and i played over 315 hours and got a 5 star trainer card so i think they are good
Don't get me wrong, but even games that are considered bad can make a lot of fun. BDSP missed on its potential, and I think it's hard to argue against that, or at least against the fact that they disappointed most of the fans who waited for this remake. If you still had a lot of fun, that's nice :)
They should have used turnback cave for something else amd did something else with Giritina like a post game Platinum episode kinda like the Delta episode in ORAS.
