Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl are bad remakes but as games, I find them very enjoyable. I mean, it's Diamond/Pearl without the requirement of using HMs on your Pokémon, making traveling through Sinnoh, which is a fantastic region, is way more pleasent. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer Platinum over BDSP but, the truth is that I prefered playing my Shining Pearl to play any other Pokémon game on the Switch, including Pokémon Legends Arceus (haven't played ZA yet)
