>>54605995I don't know how it is for DP/Platinum, since I haven't reached Gen 4 in my currently playthrough of all Pokémon games (no speed up, no rare candies, just a vanilla casual experience and making sure to do everything in the games - currently at Emerald post-game)... But for example, I do notice this issue with RSE. RS (especially the early game) to me feels a lot more empty than Emerald, though I appreciate contests appearing more. Like, fighting every trainer and not running away from wild encounters still had me at like level 12 against Brawly. There's really not that many trainers in RS. Meanwhile, Emerald felt like it had so much more to do.
Is this the case for DP too?
