Looks like garbage.
This is pathetic. The biggest IP in the world and the games look like complete shit.

Absolute trash to call this a remake. I expect this to sell 30 million copies because PKMN though.

Retired from Pokémon after Emerald (and catching all 386). Tried to play Pearl but I couldn’t, my preferences were elsewhere.

Personally I would’ve preferred they’d keep the artstyle from AS/OR but this isn’t altogether unpleasant.
We are. These are just remakes made by a smaller outsourced team. the real deal is Pokémon legends arceus.

Sorry to break it to you but it's gamefreak, game looks barren and rough and I doubt it will be much better than their usual formulaic pokemon offerings.

Artstyle is fine.
Platinum was very nice, so I guess these will be legit.
It’s just that, through the years, I’ve come to somewhat realize that nobody is supposed to play all the Pokémon games. You’re probably supposed to be introduced to the IP with whatever version is new when you come of gaming age and be hooked for a couple gens. I only played Platinum and Emerald after Sun rekindled some of the Pokémon passion in me, otherwise I was out of the loop before I could finish the original Ruby.
Nintendo realized that kids outgrow Pokémon faster and have many more distractions these days, so they churn out a new game and a remake in the span of what was previously a single Pokémon gen.
May get this when it gets a 33% digital discount and I have some eShop credit.

That art style looks worse than Bravely Default 2
And looks worse than even X/Y on the 3DS that will have come out 8 years ago.
HGSS/ORAS had a lot of love and care put into them. Even FRLG were huge upgrades over the original games.
Yeesh.

What a joke. The environments do look charming, for a 3DS game that is. As a Switch game though? They got some nerve. There is a thing such as being too faithful to the original material. What would have made DP remakes interesting is exploring Sinnoh with a fresh third-person perspective. Do I want to go through the exact same tiles? Hell no.

As is always the cycle, nerds on gaming forums will laugh at it and call it shit, then it will sell 16,000,000 copies and Game Freak (or whoever now apparently) will make no more effort in the next one.
As it ever was.

Looks like crap. The 2 visual styles clash with each other and since I know this probably be sold for $50 or more it's an easy pass. No one should buy a $30 game for $50 when it looks objectively worse.
Dunno what they were thinking.
This is like the Final Fantasy 5 and 6 remakes being put into RPG Maker and looking like hot garbage compared to the GBA remakes back in the day.

Gamefreak: Man let's remake Diamond and Pearl.

Two different visual styles don't mesh well together. The Let's Go style was more then acceptable. Doesn't help in Overworld view you look like a Powerpuff girl or a Potatohead.
The biggest ip is the church.

Would of picked up if it didnt look like a 3DS game, plus Chibi.... no thanks
The furore over the catching mechanics in Let's Go P/E really obscured the fact that those games were utterly gorgeous, and to my eyes the prettiest pokemon games ever.
Shame they didn't reuse that style. I would have much preferred Let's Go Sinnoh to this.
Still, the fact that we're getting an open-world game justifies out-sourcing the weakest mainline games imo. Just hope they have elements on Platinum in them because D/P were weak.
