No, Pokemon Diamond version wasn't good. It felt very incomplete and this problem was emphasized not only by the incredibly unfulfilling Battle Tower, but some of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four spreads too. These problems were addressed in Platinum with a satisfying Post-League. Also, the Pokedex got itself together, the character designs were tightened up and all in all the game just felt more well rounded.
I will give Pokemon Diamond one thing though; it's the game with which the story works best. Dialga feels like it had the most thought put into it between itself and Palkia and this is even emphasized in other works that feature the two of them.
Generation 4 on the other hand was good overall, yeah. Platinum, HG and SS really bring it together.
