Every remake that Pokemon has introduced in the past, has in some way improved on its previous version of the game. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have not accomplished that unfortunately. Besides the cute chibi aesthethics, and minor quality of life features, (exp share, hm moves, etc), the game doesn't change much from the previous Diamond and Pearl. Unfortunately it feels like a lazy rushed game filled with emotionless avatars replaying the same script from the previous iterations. The pokemon animations feel the same, the characters lack any added depth, overall falling flat of expectations for a title that isn't a handheld console but a Switch Title at that.
