Quoted By:
>BDSP is a 98% faithful remake
>Team compositions the exact same from DP though Platinum dex is in.
>Story the exact same barring additions of Looker and Charon similar to HGSS having Eusine.
>Post game side-quest with Giratina with only hints to Distortion World. Shaymin and Darkrai catchable without event items.
>Contests back in. Amity Square back in. Ball Capsules removed, instead allow you to change Pokéballs from the choices of Premier, Regular, Great, Ultra, and the specialty buyable balls. Master and Cherish Ball excluded. Apricot Balls from Home mons excluded. Dream Ball excluded.
>No GTS. Pokétch is the start menu.
>Legends: Arceus revolves around taming “King” Pokémon to open up new areas of the map. These are “ancient” forms of existing Pokémon that act as HM/Ride Pokémon. Viewpoints clear smog away from the map, and beating them allows more of said Pokémon to pop up and be catchable.
>Pokéballs are free, but resource based. You bring materials to a Kurt-like man named Gantetsu (hinted to be his ancestor). Items like potions are cooked/made while in the field with resources.
>Story is minimal. Galactic like symbol is the crest of Ancient Sinnoh that Cyrus appropriates like Hitler did the swatstika.
