It's safe to say that BDSP did NOT live up to expectations and this shows more as when compare these remakes to those of the past. In this video I go into detail about why Pokemon BDSP failed as a remake.

My problem was that they basically took the OG games, made it worse, turned it into 3D and didn’t really add anything new. Even platinum had more things added than BDSP. It should’ve been like ORAS where they added so much new things from mechanics to Redesigns to plot, that it basically felt like a new game but still felt true to the original… ORAS is how a REMAKE should be
@damienearl8302
@damienearl8302 Год назад
And honestly, with the topic of Platinum...I still can't understand why they never make remakes for the third game of a group! Like, an Ocean Blue or a Thunderous Yellow or a Beta Emerald or a pending name for a Crystal remake or a Glistening Platinum or- Like, they went the extra mile of making game triplets in the old days, but only made doubles in remakes! I literally forgot Crystal existed because they only made HeartGold and SoulSilver

@@damienearl8302 Yeah I'm kind of surprised we didn't get Electric Yellow, Mind Crystal, or Delta Emerald, although HGSS does have a lot of stuff from Crystal like the Legendary Dog plotline to the point where HGSS is basically a Crystal Remake but still combines stuff from GS like the fact you can get Mareep since it wasn't in Crystal. I wish FRLG made it so that your starter pokemon follows you though but other than that FRLG was good enough.

HGSS and ORAS have the most important mechanics to include into any remake going forward - HGSS and ORAS have *SO MUCH* content, with the latter even acknowledging the things that came out after Hoenn and redesign the region around that to truly make it feel like a modern retelling rather than being 1:1.

BDSP was soul crushing for me. My life revolved around Gen 4 back in 07 when DP were released. All my friends were just as immersed as I was in the world. DPPT are games I hold very close to me. But BDSP? It broke my heart. Instead of an ORAS style remake we got a remaster that’s not even as good as platinum… Now I’ll never get the chance to see Sinnho reimagined (even if PLA exists). It’s the first time I’ve ever felt hurt by a video game.

I feel like Firered and Leafgreen are underestimated as remakes so hard. They were fantastic as remakes. The entire Sevii islands were such a fun postgame experience, that I really missed in Let's Go. I really thought LG was the worst when it came out, because it added so little new stuff. But now that BDSP are a thing even LG seems fantastic, since they did add SOME new stuff. The art direction and style was great. The pokemon were to scale and had some texture to them. The best looking pokemon games on the Switch imo. Lackluster on new content, but way better than BDSP. Still, FRLG will stay my go-to for the optimal and most complete Kanto experience.

FR/LG did a lot of things right by just keeping it simple(at least I think they kept it pretty simple), they let you experience the original game while adding in minor QOL changes and corrected a lot of the confusing things in the original R/B/Y. Adding in the Sevii Islands also helped link the R/B/Y story to the G/S/C one as well which is one of the biggest underrated things in the game. I feel like it's just not talked about enough because like 80% of the community didn't start playing until D/P/P and talking about anything related to gen 1 will get you the "genwunner" label and unnecessary attacks.

What concerns me is the fact that multiple 3D iterations later and you can really see gamefreak and sub studios struggling in the 3D aspect of the development. Many decisions and assets in the game raise an eyebrow really quick to anyone with any sort of industry oriented graphics experience. From literal seams in the meshes (rather than UV seams) to blending multiple rendering pipelines, to how they handle asset management, it's no surprise that many of the core titles can't maintain beyond a 30 lock. Combine this with multiple other issues, and I genuinely think GameFreak has reached a point the name itself sells the series and as such they are focused pretty much exclusively on profit over quality. The reason for this is left to speculation, but something to keep in mind is Pokemon is almost if not 3 decades old now. 30 years is a long time for the creator to keep things up, and he isn't exactly hurting for money either. If anything from the 3DS to now has shown me anything about GameFreak, it is that they are indeed 2D devs messing in 3D space and just no longer really care for the same values they had back at it's inception.

The thing that disappointed me the most with BDSP is the lack of character redesigns. I liked seeing the characters getting refreshed designs for the current age. In ORAS, characters like Maxie and Archie got massive glow ups. I also love how Pokémon remakes may introduce new characters for certain features, such as Aarune for secret bases and Lisia for contests in ORAS, and Celio for the Pokémon Network Center, a feature allowing you to connect to other Gen 3 games in FRLG. BDSP didn’t have any character redesigns or any new characters for the new features. Imagine if we got a new character to introduce us to Ramanas Park, or redesigns for any of the characters in BDSP.

Personally for me its the chibi and the way the character / following pokemon walks. If you go near a ledge, it automatically counts as two steps so you get sucked in and jumped off a ledge, this is specially hard when you are trying to go up to Mt. Coronet. Like come on ILCA, of all the things you had to make it suck its the movement and your walking buddy getting constantly stuck. Also the standard formula is basically following the current gen graphics but BDSP, instead of following the better Gen 8 graphics, they didnt. Of all the remakes, this one was not made with love, this one was rushed to make a quick cash grab before PLA. Gamefreak should not have gave it to ILCA to handle. I'd rather not them have gen 5 remakes if they are just going to chibify it with the bad pokemon following animation.

Personally I would love to see the Pokémon Black and White remakes include their sequels as DLC. Important to remember that Pokémon White 2 actually takes place after Pokémon Black because you received the legendary dragon that N had from the first game (which in black it was reshiram). Not only would you get both legendaries, but it’s also worth considering that Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are technically parts of the same dragon. So if it was DLC (or post game content) we could finally get to see the dragon they make when all of them combine. Since the characters you play as in Black 2 and White 2 are different from the first games, maybe it could be one of those separate story things, and at the end of black 2/white 2 you fight the team that you finished with in the first games. Ultimately I think it would end with you being able to play as either of them and of course combine your Pokémon storage. How would you guys go about adapting the second games? Would you perhaps do what was originally done and have them come out separately?

There are multiple games (not just Pkmn) where I've asked myself the question of "why can passionate unofficial Developers/Modders make these things that people want, and the company can't?". What I came up with is that 3rd word: *Passionate*. The unofficial people create these things in their own time out of a passion for what they (and others) want/enjoy, whereas, even if the company knew what we wanted...there's a handful of employees who (whether passionate about the games or not), would ask for thousands of dollars for every hour worked on these "Extra" features. It's likely not out of laziness that we don't get what we want, but them only going as far as they really "need" to. When it comes to remakes that were on handhelds like GBA or 3DS, i'm fairly certain it takes significantly less work compared to the newer games like BDSP, SWSH, and SCVI. They were typically working on weaker systems, with mostly pixel art and the occasional cutscene, if any. Stuff like that takes time and money for the developers, not so much for the passionate unofficial developer/modder who works on their own time and without a deadline in most cases.

I can definitely agree with this. I think GameFreak might even be burnt out with Pokemon at this point. We know that they've been trying to create other properties which have all ended in... perhaps not failure, but less than desirable games. I do think Arceus and SV were huge steps in the right direction as, despite SV's performance issues, it's one of my favorite Pokemon games but it could have been a lot better.
@Kaelicles
@Kaelicles Год назад
The answer is that passionate fans aren't required to make money with the game and don't have to deal with deadlines. Deadline are the current bottleneck for Pokemon games, because they need to be released yearly to keep up with the inertia of the entire franchise.

I was so excited for these remakes, only to never finish my playthrough months in. I think my experience with ORAS/HGSS really set the standards, even as one of the few people who was ok with the game being much more true to original. I think a major problem was that (or so I've heard) they took the codebase for the DS games and just added on some art/control improvements. Havent tried myself, but a good chunk of people were reporting all glitches from DPP were possible in these new switch games. Even though I love that I can do these glitches on modern console, I think it seriously limited the amount of updates/content they could include for the worse.

As a 31 year old man, Gen 3 is my favorite. Hoenn is my favorite region and i actually love ORAS even though there is no Battle Frontier because the DexNav and Soaring for me, were the best. The Sevii Islands make FireRed and LeafGreen the definitive Kanto experience since they haven't made a return since and give Kanto more depth especially with the Johto Pokemon added in. I would gladly have taken BDSP in the vein of past remakes with Dynamax added in the lore and in the SwSh style cause playing them felt like a chore as everything outside of the new underground felt like a chore as i had already put in 200+ hours of Diamond as a kid.

FireRed and LeafGreen: Enhanced experience of the original Red and Blue. Used the same engine that Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald did. Added an entirely new sub-region in the Sevii Islands. HeartGold and SoulSilver: Took everything great about Gold and Silver and cranked it up to 11. More than enough new features to keep you interested and playing for months on end or even longer. Used the same engine that Diamond, Pearl and Platinum did. Contained almost all of the additional content from Crystal. OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire: IMO the best remakes we've gotten so far. All the best of Ruby and Sapphire and then some on top of that. Plenty of new features. Mega evolution. Soaring. DexNav. Took content from Emerald and made it even better, introducing one of the best characters we've ever seen in Pokémon, Zinnia. Used the same engine that X and Y did. Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee: Techinally remakes of Yellow which I believe was a great idea. Switched up the story of RBY ever so slightly which makes the games feel new yet so familiar. Introduced Go catching mechanic to main series Pokémon which while controversial, was a hit for many players. These games don't do anything that really blow you away but they're solid remakes. Used (seemingly) the same engine Sword and Shield did, though Let's Go arguably looks a bit better than SwSh did. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: These games do not enhance the experience of the original Diamond and Pearl. People will argue that they do but I just don't see it. Many of us believe that the original games look nicer and have more charm to them than these remakes do. They do not use the same engine as Sword and Shield, which is a first for Pokémon remakes to not use the engine that current gen games do. The games barely contain any Platinum content and none of it is what any of us wanted. Almost every single prior remake has included the majority of the 3rd game of that gen's features and content despite being named after the first games of the generation. The games are buggy, unpolished and were obviously released in a completely rushed state. I don't know what more to say about BDSP other than I'm tired of hearing the same old defense for it. "It's a Diamond and Pearl remake not a Platinum remake!" has to be the most annoying one of all. Sometimes I feel like we overhyped the whole gen 4 remake thing but I much more feel like they just failed to deliver on something we had bigger dreams for.

If they make Black and White remakes I agree with a lot of your points, but I will still die on this hill I'm standing on, which is that they need to have the option to switch the EXP share off, and, if they go with a free roam set up like Scarlet and Violet, then there needs to be some sort of levelling up system for the Gym Leaders, so you don't end up missing one, coming back at Lv. 50 and discovering you have a team vastly over-levelled for the Gym Leader with their Lv. 17 main Pokémon. Black and White remakes would need features from Black and White 2, I'd really like to see an upgrade to the movie making experience from those games.

@@brondermody3409I’m with you on that. Everyone trying to justify the chibis by pointing out that they were "always like that" seem to miss that point. In 2D it’s due to the top down perspective it is not a literal representation of what’s happening, you don’t get to see what they really look like until you enter battle or a cutscene and jump down to a first person perspective. In 3D this doesn’t work, especially when half the time you are staying in Chibi form for a zoomed in first person moment like the opening scene. It becomes the reality rather than a perspective, and makes them becoming well proportioned for battles seem like a dream. And for me at least, it’s not just the giant funko pop heads. It’s the chunky feet as well (which definitely were not in the original). They just look like toys.

​@@mainexploit You don't understand.. When Gen 5 was first released, it was gamefreaks attempt at trying something new and getting pokemon off to a fresh start.. They made 150+ new pokemon and removed the national dex until the post game, basically forcing you to get used to the newer pokemon because of this a lot of people immediately didn't like gen 5 as nostalgia is a huge factor for a lot of Pokemon fans and it caused people to not even want to play it, they didn't even give it a chance and immediately assumed it was terrible. As a result the game did not sell much at all, and overall was a failure at the time which was a shame because Gamefreak put more effort into gen 5 than they have done any game prior to the series Gen 5 had the most new pokemon, new animated sprites in battle with an endearing artstyle, smooth and impressive use of the camera angles, arguably the best story in the series, some of the best music in the series, well written characters, and so much more the games had to offer But did that matter? no because everyone assumed the worst of it, everyone hated it because it tried to be different. It was then where Gamefreak realized that putting effort to make the games feel unique and fresh isn't worth it, and that as long as nostalgia is the main focus, they can just make another crappy remake, or have pikachu available in the region and it will sell like hotcakes, they're lazy now because when they did put effort into making something new, people hated them for it Gen 5 was so good it destroyed the franchise

And I have one more thing: a second set of gen 2 remakes is probably on the way seeing as how LG released before BDSP (not saying gen 2 re-remakes should go first) and if the Pokémon company doesn’t include at least up to gen 4’s dex, I will have lost hope since gen 2’s dex is so trash on its own!

I swear to god somebody high up at game freak or maybe just the whole team has to hate diamond, pearl and platinum. It's not just this insulting excuse of a remake. In general there has been no support for the generation at all. Legends arceus was hardly a gen 4 game. The starters were from different generations and the region didn't resemble sinnoh in the slightest. Not to mention that game actually gave more love to other generations with the regional variants and enamorous the extra member of the genie trio which was out of nowhere and just happens to be garchomp's kryptonite in gen 9. The biggest indicator for me is pokemon variants. Not a single regional variant or paradox pokemon version for any gen 4 pokemon (iron valiant is explicitly stated on bulbapedia to take traits from both gallade and gardevoir). The surrounding generations have had numerous regional variants for their native pokemon, especially gen 5. Which doesn't have an obvious explanation why. Diamond and pearl sold very well and on a pretty massive poll were voted as japan's fave pokemon games. Both legends arceus and BDSP had the shortest run of support for any pokemon game before being replaced with scarlet and violet. Having gen 4 as one of your favorite generations is just pain. I would've been happy if they had simply done the graphics in the style of gen 8 being able to explore sinnoh in 3d like that and nothing else. But they failed even that. Was a good wakeup call to finally step away from pokemon for good though. The worst thing is that even if they get their act together and make a decent gen 5 remake i should be happy but i'm going to feel even more crushed. It had to be my fave gen that got the only pile of crap as a remake out of all of them.

Gen 5 is my favorite generation of Pokémon, it wasn't my first game of the franchise but definitely one I played alot growing up as a kid. One thing I'd want to see in a Gen 5 remake is the re-introduction of mega evolution. Dynamax is a 3 turn long joke to me that's easily cheesed, and while I find Terra Pokémon interesting with the idea that a Pokémon could be ANY type and leads to alot twists (like a Pokémon that's weak to fighting turning psychic to turn the tables) that's all it really has to offer. Meanwhile Mega Evolution allowed a Pokémon to change typing, stats, abilities, all while having a generally awesome looking design to them. This idea isn't mine for sure, I'm pretty sure I got this idea from somewhere (or someone) else and just can't remember where I found it. Anyways i really like the idea of Gamefreak going back to pixel art but keeping it within a modern engine. 3D models of all our favorite Pokémon and environments are cool don't get me wrong, I loved the 3DS games but I don't want to see Unova come this huge sprawling world to free roam or end up becoming this 3D environment where every texture looks like someone waxed the hell out of it. I'd love to see Unova pixelated but perhaps more detailed, it could keep the same style of the old game but not need to keep it's limitations. I'd rather not there be dlc at all and let there just be the game by itself. Though if there was to be dlc, we've seen Kuryem, White and Black Kuryem, but never the Kuryem who is whole. A side story or a dlc based around the mystery and story about Kuryem becoming whole again would be awesome! Getting to encounter a Pokémon we have only been able to speculate about and having the chance to fight or even capture it would be amazing!

I have Soulsilver and it's so fun! Team rocket is not too easy to defeat, the grunts yes but it took me 4 times to beat Gionavvi 2 years ago. It was hard but so satisfying when i win! The following pokemons are cute, they can find items that i can use to take pictures which is nice plus all their reactions are adorable 🥰It works with shinies too, that's cool! I have a shiny Roserade and a shiny Rapidash; i found them without the shiny charm; luck was on my side. I was so happy when i catch them. They are my precious partners, i'm gonna train them so we can defeat the league together. The music is sublime, the towns are charming. It's an excellent remake!

Your video was very well done! You presented each argument in a calm and collective manner, while also backing up your claims and not shying away from highlighting the additions and features you liked about BDSP. Many people are passionate about this topic, and as such, get very angry when creating their own videos, turning the videos into more so biased rants rather than an informed opinion piece.

Just curious if you did any actual research on the company and what their plan for the games were. They wanted all the platinum content and they also wanted it to be in the style of arceus, they openly admitted this and released their art books and said that they were told not to make those games, then content was directly ripped from what they wanted to do and used for arceus instead it was not Illcas fault do not blame them

The company that did a thing better few years back does the same thing and do it much worse. And asks the same price as it's better works, when it's not comparable. That's not nitpicking or anything, that's valid critisism. Games from 2000's were better than all of this.

You made a lot of good points in this video. One of the major reasons why I didn’t buy the Diamond and Pearl remakes is because the character and Pokémon models look like that of chibi mobile game. They look very bland. It’s as if they didn’t even try to put any effort into making these games. Its a shame really. I will definitely be buying these games used. I made this decision since Sword & Shield since, the Pokémon company & GameFreak barely care about innovation or change, then I won’t support them. The only game so far that shows a major sign of change and innovation is Legends Arceus which is so far in my opinion better than bdsp, sword and shield and scarlet and violet. Also, I’ll give them some credit for Scarlet and Violet especially for trying the open world concept. P.S. I had no clue you could capture Rayquaza in Heartgold. I’m actually shocked by this reveal. I can’t wait to go back to my Heartgold save file and try this out. I thought the only way you could obtain an rayquaza was by capturing it in Emerald and transferring it over. 😭

I find BDSP to just be an overall downgrade to DP. Maybe besides the surfing speed, I guess. The forced EXP Share is an absolute game killer. It works perfectly well in an open world like Legends Arceus and SV, but it is just detrimental when it comes to the old style. I was struggling so hard to keep Rhyhorn on a similar level to the rest of my team. I had to spam rare candies and always use Rhyhorn in front of my team to have it keep up with the rest of my team that I wasn't even using. You could argue I should just box my team (people have argued this), but then I might run into situations where I need to switch or risk losing the fight because I am up against some water type or something.

Its just scary because GameFreak got away with such terrible remakes. These remakes broke my childhood dream. I was 12 (at the time of HGSS) when I wanted the remakes for DPPt and I got these as a 24 year old. 12 year old dreams crushed completely. It took me almost 6-7 years to appreciate BW & B2W2. They were brilliant. If they give the remakes for those games the same treatment as BDSP, it’ll really be the salt on the wound. That especially because I know by the time BW and B2W2 remakes come out, we will still suffer from unfinished 2fps, game crashing main titles. Isnt it sad to receive so many comments like this? I feel like no one, including me have any hopes left for GameFreak games.

When it comes to upper, third versions of the games in generations getting remakes I do think they should be remade but I don't think they should be made into their own game/separate cartridge and sold for a new price like the originals were. I think on the remakes for the games we got, the third version should have been built into those games as well, as an unlockable prize for beating the game the first time. And it's not really two games in one cartridge because the third version that comes out after the first two is just an updated version of the same two first games.
@DiaborMagics

can't say much on the topic as I skipped gen 4 and 5 (except Heart Gold) and I couldn't really get into BDSP much. I think I got 3 badges only? I still want to go back and at least finish the league, but well... time has passed and now I've got 140 hours into Violet. Also hearing about all its problems and how it doesn't include a lot of the Platinum content you'd want to experience, especially when playing it for the first time, has really lowered my motivation for BDSP. Finally, I would have loved to get Shaymin and Darkrai but I think I missed the events. I really dislike the old-fashioned distribution events and would have liked them to move on from that and add the mythicals to the game. They're not fun to collect, they're years of waiting an utter pain when you miss them. And speaking of legendaries (and mythicals), you do hit the mark - I indeed wish you had to work for it too. Explore caves, do puzzles, etc., like in the old days. Just codes aren't fun anyway

BDSP should've had its own Delta Episode involving Giratina and the Distortion World. I understand not wanting to mess with the pre-Hall of Fame story from Diamond and Pearl in what are ostensibly remakes of Diamond and Pearl (no matter how many Platinum quality-of-life adjustments they brought over), but that doesn't mean they couldn't have repurposed elements from Platinum's story for a post-Hall of Fame storyline. Speaking of unfairly ignored Platinum content, why don't we have any post-game storylines involving Looker or Charon? Heck, the latter even got replaced with a nameless grunt on one of the special box wallpapers; leaving his silhouette on it then properly introducing him after the credits roll would be such delicious foreshadowing.

I'm personally the biggest fan of Gen 3, specifically Sapphire, as that's the cartridge I had when I was growing up. Gen 4 is a close second. I love Gen 2, my first game was Crystal, but because I was so young when I first played, I never got as into it as I did with Gen 3. That aside, I completely agree with everything you've pointed out with BDSP. It's a shame they didn't base the games entirely on Platinum and had such...strange additions and so many subtractions...I love the Underground changes they made, it made going down there actually worth something, but...Even while playing BDSP the first time, I always felt things were missing.
