And why don't you like these games? And why did you skip them?No, I certainly don't. Glad I skipped them.
Something I find kind of interesting is that Nintendo had released four "faithful remakes" over 2021 (six if you count alternate versions): Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, the two Famicom Detective stories, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The Pokémon games have gotten by far the sharpest criticism to them while reception to the others were a lot more positive. Skyward Sword HD in particular not only kept the story and the gameplay exactly the same but did only minor touching up of the graphics (they even kept the unique bloom of distant objects to make it appear like an impressionist painting); the complaints it had were entirely from things already existing in the original game that couldn't easily be readily fixed (linear structure, backtracking in second half, boss fights against the Imprisoned, Zelda having a passive role in the story, etc.) and was otherwise praised for fixing up things that COULD be fixed up (you now have the option of replacing all motion controls with button controls, Fi speaks to you a lot less, the game no longer reminds you of every item you pick up every session you play, improved Loftwing steering).I like it just like I liked the original Pearl. Yes it absolutely could have been built up more like ORAS was, but it's still good because it's just more Pearl and Pearl was good.
I feel like people who call it bad because it doesn't have extras or Platinum or whatever forget that we're still starting with a baseline of a good game. "Could have been better" doesn't mean bad itself.
Not to be that person but is Pokémon really a “Nintendo “ game? I mean it’s sold as one but since it’s made by second party can we really count it as one? Like sadly I don’t think we will ever see Nintendo Selects of Pokémon or anything in that kind of “Nintendo” gameSomething I find kind of interesting is that Nintendo had released four "faithful remakes" over 2021 (six if you count alternate versions): Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, the two Famicom Detective stories, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

That is, for all the other faithful remakes on the Switch over 2021, fan reception has been mostly about what has been improved about them, whereas for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, there's a lot more fan reception over what could have been added. I wonder if it's because Mario and Zelda re-releases tend to skew very close to their original releases (or exactly the same, in the case of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine for Super Mario 3D All-Stars), whereas Pokémon re-releases tend to have a lot of things added to them.
Nintendo is a distributor of them and has partial ownership of The Pokémon Company, so it technically is one. Pikachu has been in Smash Bros. since the beginning, for instance, and in popular culture, Pikachu is just as much of a Nintendo character as Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong. Satoru Iwata would not have been able to go through the code for Pokémon Gold and Silver as much as he did were it not at least partially Nintendo-owned.Not to be that person but is Pokémon really a “Nintendo “ game?

I love BDSPWow, I am very pleased to see how many people like BDSP here on Serebii Forums, compared to this other Pokemon Forum I frequently visit!
Yes, I do like BDSP a lot. I think BDSP is a very solid game, and it's better than SwSh, SM, XY, ORAS, etc. I would say that, for me, BDSP is the BEST Pokemon game we've had since BW2.
I'm glad! Same hereI love BDSP
If it had post gen 4 Pokemon then it would have been one of the best Pokemon games for me.I'm glad! Same here
That's awesome!If it had post gen 4 Pokemon then it would have been one of the best Pokemon games for me.
I already have around 90 hours on it
Gen 6 Pokemon r my fav ones <3That's awesome!
Personally, I am not a big fan of Gen 5, 6, 7 Pokemon, so the only Pokemon I miss in BDSP are the Gen 8 ones. But overall, I'm happy with a more "classic" Pokemon experience with only Gen 1-4 Pokemon.
I do miss Alolan/Galarian regional variants tho. I wish those were included in BDSP.
I thought that would be the case, because of your Serena AviGen 6 Pokemon r my fav ones <3
