>>24588488>D/P was fucking great at the time because it introduced a new region, new Pokemon, wi-fi and a whole bunch of featuresYeah because new always means good.
Just a little reminder, gen 4 demolished mechanics from previous games secret bases and contests were fucked and turned into the most casual things in pokemon.
The region was filled with backtracking moreso than your usual pokemon game and excessive hm use.
Then there's the poketch with about 4 useful features with the rest being filler on top of that a handful were event locked.
The underground was a Croc of shit being slower than the regular game.
It has fuck all to do even in plat.
Sinnoh was a disaster. An utter disgrace.
