So it's been over eight years since these games came out, and I realized I have some really fond memories of playing them. When I hear this song in particular, it hits me hard

Fuck this gets me every time.

The Pokemon League having a sentimental "end of journey" theme, rather than an intimidating "final challenge looming ahead" theme really stuck with me.

The night version too.

The games are pretty damn slow. PT made some improvements, but they're probably the most boring games in the series to me.
Still, probably the last Pokemon game that I played simultaneously with my brother, going in the underground together and actually exploring every feature of the game. After that, I became too caught up in competitive, which kind of ruined that rivalry and made me super autistic about in game teams.

I can't have fond memories of gen 4 because diamond and pearl were so bad, i only played platinum much later

platinum was fucking awesome though

first time through diamond and plat. I thought the music was bad in gen 4. I still consider it in the bottom half along with gen 1 and 6, but I grew to appreciate it more

They'll probably keep:
-bigger dex
-running speed
-heatran volcano
-a distortion world that could make sense with Dialga/Palkia

I liked DP, but when there's Platinum there's really no other reason to play DP anymore.
DP was nice, and Platinum expanded it to be better.

This is about how I feel, DESU.
I remember playing Diamond when the games were first released, and they were pretty cool because it was one of the first games to have a 3D-modeled world. But, yeah, once Platinum came out, it was hands down the superior title of the two. It's like playing Sapphire or Ruby when Emerald exists.

This might be a false distinction but DP were the only games that felt genuinely incomplete before the third version rather than it being a finished game ready to be improved

Having said that Platinum is my favourite of the series

I liked Diamond and Pearl. Then again, it's probably because they were the first games where I genuinely wasn't retarded, I don't know how I managed to get through Generations 1 2 and 3 and still like Pokemon.

Also did anyone else not really like D/P when it came out but now look back on it fondly? I never played Platinum, just might emulate it.

I'm in the middle of replaying Pearl (Platinum is locked up with me SR-ing for a Shiny Gira) and holy fuck it is tedious.

I also went back to Gen 3 and those games play really well compared to DPPt and the remakes. Amazingly well
