Pretty Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

If you've played the originals, then you have played this game. It is a very literal remaster of the original Diamond and Pearl games with all of the worst parts attached. TM's break after one use and the shard move tutors are gone with the added bonus that EXP share is on permanently.

The underground and pageants have been updated and are much simpler and more enjoyable to play, but the poffin making mini game is no longer touch based. Also your pokemon can follow you around (after a certain point).

What the game has changed is good, but the game play reads as stale and outdated compared to other remakes such as ORAS or HGSS. Where those games built upon the foundation of what they had and improved upon it with updated technology and features, BDSP seems to be treading the same old tired path that no longer matches the quality that nintendo can now put out with a more powerful and advanced system.

No, this game didn't set out to redesign the wheel, but it they sure could've done better!

A Big Disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2021

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

NOTE: This is a review for both Brilliant Diamond AND Shining Pearl.

Sadly a continuation of Sword and Shield's backwards direction in taking Pokemon. While the graphics are shiny and updated, and the music remastered/remixed, the Diamond and Pearl remakes fall short in about every way. Let's go over some of the main reasons why I did not enjoy them.

Cons:
- Everything is the same. Excluding the Grand Underground, which is interesting for about a half an hour, the new games field absolutely no changes to the story or characters. You could place down your old DS next to your switch and play the original Pearl or Diamond and you would be playing the exact same thing. At least when they remade Ruby and Sapphire they added in new things and made it more interesting, while expanding on characters and story elements. This game does none of that.
- Far too easy. Unfortunately, just like Sword and Shield, these games feature an automatic experience share that quickly causes your Pokemon team to outpace and out-level almost all enemies. By the end of the game every fight was an absolute joke and required zero thought or skill. Additionally, your Pokemon will now do random things such as shrugging off attacks, scoring extra critical strikes, and even expelling negative status conditions from themselves just to please you, making battles skewed in your favor even if you weren't over-leveled. The original Diamond and Pearl were a good challenge, with a powerful set of bosses and a terrifying final boss. These games are... well for little kids basically. There is really no challenge to be found here whatsoever.
- No Platinum features. Platinum took Diamond and Pearl and improved on pretty much everything. It revamped enemy teams, added new Pokemon, new items, and generally expanded the game. However none of that is present in this game. Enemy teams are still the dull lineups of the original games that often don't even match their theme. Why is it that several gyms feature trainers with Pokemon that don't even fit the theme? Did they really HAVE to keep the team line-ups from Diamond and Pearl? The only caveat to this is the Grand Underground, which seems to allow you to catch certain Pokemon that were available in the platinum expansion, but none of the enemy trainers in the game will use these.
- Generally bland. Somehow, just like the original games, combat is on the slow side, taking a good chunk of time between each action, and causing you to yawn while you wait for abilities and statuses to trigger. The graphics are nice, but simple. Nothing can be taken seriously in the chibi, cutesy style, and there aren't many cut-scenes or chances to see things in more standard graphics.
- Not great controls. Now that movement is not aligned to a grid, it can be quite wonky. It can be hard to aim your character and get them to walk exactly how you want, and even more annoying to try and take quick exact turns while riding the bicycle. Additionally, without a touch screen, the poke-tech now requires a separate menu that must be selected each time you want to use it, and takes up the whole screen! You must then also manually move around a cursor to click on things. It's very tedious and altogether annoying to use. The hotkeys for key items are also in odd locations and feel weird to use.

Pros:
No HM requirements. One of this game's few saving graces is that it no longer requires you to teach Pokemon on your team the Field moves required to complete the game, which allows you to keep your Pokemon's move slots free for whatever you wish to use. However, this is no longer very helpful now that the game is so easy.

Neutral:
- Contests. I have never messed with Pokemon contests so I cannot comment on whether they are improved from the original or not.

Verdict: Overall just a mess. These games could have been so amazing but they are a complete letdown. I will give them 1 extra star above the minimum because they do both look and sound very nice, but in the end I just did not have any fun playing them. It really felt like a waste of my time and money. If you are on the fence then stay away. If you want any kind of challenge then don't buy these, and if you want to return to your childhood nostalgia, then go replay the original Diamond and Pearl, or possibly Platinum. Any of those 3 are better than these new games.

JUST LIKE I REMEMBER IT

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

If you loved playing diamond/pearl when it first came out, then you’ll LOVE playing brilliant diamond and shinning pearl. I’m not a fan of the chino art style, but honestly when I actually had the game in my hands it doesn’t look that bad. Looked pretty nice seeing it in person. The game is still very fun just like I remember when I was a kid playing it. I know a lot of people have a problem with the exp share being on all the time and I do notice that I’m a bit high leveled. That doesn’t exactly bother me since I’m just playing the story right now so it’s whatever, I do wish there was an option to turn it off. The visuals look great, seeing all these old scenes remade is amazing and this whole game was a great trip down memory lane. If you liked playing the originals then this is a MUST so buy it now! Also one thing I’d like to note is that this is a diamond and pearl remake, not platinum. So don’t expect to many platinum elements. Overall I’m enjoying the game and thank you to Amazon for sending me this a day early! It really made my whole day better to come home from a long day of work to see this in my mailbox! On a last note, when you get near post game this game DOES get pretty hard out of nowhere so if you like a challenge you’ll love this part. The gym leaders and e4 get harder and have fully ev trained Pokemon the second time you fight them. As a competitive player I LOVE this addition to the game. I’m sure others will too!

Infinite loading screen whenever I try to go into my secret base

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

The game was 5 stars until I got to the point of creating my own secret base in the grand underground. After I create my secret base I select the option to go inside and then I get stuck on a loading screen for 15 minutes with the 3 starter Pokemon bouncing in the lower right corner. I tried creating and entering my secret base in several different locations as well as connected to the internet and in play alone mode and I always get a infinite loading screen. I can't find any information anywhere to help me fix this glitch. I don't get this glitch with brilliant diamond version.

Seller sent EU version of game

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

I was sent the EU version of this game. I don't care that much since the Switch itself isn't region locked but some games do have differences between region versions and there can be issues with online play. I don't know if Pokemon is like that or not. But either way I do think sellers should be sending exactly what's in the photo.

Awesome Nostalgia game

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

I love the nostalgia but they even brought back some of the issues. They brought back the single use TM's and even got rid of the HM's. But other than that the game is amazing and fun, thought the crumbling mine function is another issue since I feel that their will be people who will try to find a way to use the code that prevented mine crumbling.

Also if you buy the game from Amazon, you are supposed to get a serial code that gives you special Pokeballs. Sadly it doesn't happen and really annoyed me.

Entrega rápida e o jogo chegou em perfeito estado. Excelente reentrada na franquia para quem não está muito contante com as últimas gerações e um mergulho na nostalgia deliciosa de quando o jogo arrebatava multidões. Eu gosto muito da franquia como um todo e fiquei muito contente com esse lançamento porquê me deu a chance de jogar um jogo que eu nunca pude jogar na época em que lançou, e ao mesmo tempo com os avanços tecnológicos de hoje como melhoria dos gráficos, sistemas e mecânicas de combate e etc. Recomendo muito!

É um bom remake mas...

Reviewed in Brazil on March 3, 2022

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

Shinning Pearl sem dúvida é um remake melhor que o original e definitivamente trás conteúdos adicionais para o game. Mantém o padrão de eras da franquia pokemon mas parece que faltou um pouco mais de cuidado com alguns conteúdos, e, sobretudo, com o timing de seu lançamento. O pokemon shining pearl retoma o padrão chibi dos personagens em uma nova era para a franquia, entre o lançamento de Pokemon Sword & Shield e o Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Dessa forma a ambientação tradicional parece defasada para os novos parâmentros que a Nintendo vem implementado e deixa a desejar quanto ao game.
Contudo isso não tira o "brilho" de shining pearl, além de possibilitar que players de Nintendo Switch joguem o game no novo console, sem dúvida, trata-se de um remake com qualidade e adição de novos recursos.

A Faithful remake indeed

Reviewed in India on December 17, 2021

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: Shining PearlVerified Purchase

I played over 100 hours in game and have really loved it because diamond, pearl and platinum were one of the first pokemon games I ever played. This brought back a lot of childhood memories and I love the grand underground it not only makes some of the version exclusive pokemon available in the other game and the secret base feature is the only thing lacking in it making the base solely for statues was not a good idea but can't complain, it makes catching pokemon I loved a lot easier to find and catch. The method to catch legendary pokemon in Ramana's park is really good cant wait to see if they bring in events to catch pokemon from future generations like gen 5 or above. The thing I like most about these games are that there is no overpowered features like dynamax, megas or z moves its a vanilla pokemon game and I like that. Really look forward to future events.
