I actually like them a lot, but maybe that's because I grew up with them and gen 3. What went wrong with Part 4? Did Platinum fix it?

Mainly for the limited pokemon and the slow engine. Platinum fixes the limited pokemon problem.

is this perhaps a shout-out to the popular franchise "joey's not-so-normal journey?"

Diamond and Pearl is rather boring; however, Platinum did fix it, but most people think it´s slow, personally I don´t mind, especially compared to the newest games which can be finished in 1/2 days easily.

When people say gen 4 is slow they mean how fast the game is actually running, not how much content it has.

What the fuck does this even mean? Do you hear people accuse the games of having a "slow amount of content"?

Do people actively dislike it? I know people think it has issues, but most people I know like it.

I honestly couldn't pinpoint my exact gripes because it's been a long fucking time, but Diamond was the game that basically killed my love of the series and even though I did play a few others it was purely going through the motions. I didn't get back into the series until X and Y for whatever reason. I think it mostly boiled down to being a lot more boring than the previous games, partially because I think it was this game where I started to really feel like it was getting stale compared to the others and partially because none of its gimmicks clicked unlike the previous ones, and having very few pokemon I actually liked. I mean, the first three gens and 6/7 I can find a lot to love. Gen 5 not so much but like I said it kinda passed by me. 4 I can name maybe three pokemon I actually liked and one of those was just the resident pikachu clone.

True, Platinum did fix the slowness and piss-poor Pokémon distribution, but my main problem was the aesthetics of Sinnoh.
Hoenn was varied, vibrant and imaginative, and I felt Sinnoh was sort of the opposite, as if it was a remake with more colours slapped onto it.
The colouring itself is generally awful with that neon-green grass and grey/beige towns.
I am looking forward to a remake though because Sinnoh does have potential.

Because it's fucking boring.
Other than the reasons everyone is pointing out, I hated the region itself. There were a shit ton of really long routes with one battle after another, and none of those battles were interesting or challenging so it made me hate battles altogether. I mean, before you even get to 3rd Gym, you go through 2 really long routes and has to fight Team Galactic twice. There was almost nothing to do but battles, and the battles were mindnumbingly easy and boring.

>inb4 contest
Those were a good way to distract yourself, but it was still overall shit with those dumb dance and dressing up parts.

It means that the way >>31931998 worded their post came off as saying "slow=it takes a long time to beat/go through all the content" by dragging in the fact that newer games can be beaten in a day or two. It sounded like they were under the impression that people dislike gen 4 because the game is long rather than disliking it because the engine was shite which caused everything to drag on.

The only good part of the entire region is the champion, and i'd rather not play 20-30 hours of bad gameplay just for one battle thats actually good.

DP are sometimes boring with a shitty slow engine and such a piss poor Pokemon selection compared to any other game of the time. People complain about SM's selection, but it's nowhere near as bad as DP's. Platinum is just way better overall, but still suffers from the same Sinnoh issues that DP has.

Overall, while it brought me back into Pokemon because I had skipped Hoenn at the time, and added some good stuff like the special split, it felt like a boring slog of a region. I also felt it was the most stale, especially with the constant caves of Zubat and Geodude. It was the fourth generation of basically the same thing and really felt like going through the motions. There's a reason people like Gen 5 and it's because it felt more fresh and new and had new twists story and presentation wise.

I'm also not fond of Cyrus and Galactic as a whole. People really love Cyrus and I don't know why. He's better in Platinum by a long shot but his goal of making a world with "no emotion" just because he had a lonely childhood or some shit is so lame. It's like they tried to top the previous games and it came off as over the top. I appreciate Gen 5 for scaling these things down honestly.
