Absolutely loved Diamond and Pearl when they came out originally and must’ve sank over 300 hours into them in total. Started playing Brilliant Diamond for the nostalgia and am currently 4 gyms in.
Variety of wild Pokémon is almost nil, pretty much every route is exclusively Geodude plus one or two extremely common Pokémon like Bidoof or Starly. Also being 4 gyms in I’m still entering new areas (like the Great Marsh) and trainers have entire teams that barely scrape past level 20, and I’m sat here with a level 43 Emploeon.
Very disappointed the remake especially the chibi style artwork.
