>>55730492You couldn't be more wrong. I started with Blue and then had a hard time finding Yellow anywhere after it came out.
Diamond and Pearl are good, but I fail to see how BDSP are inferior in any significant way apart from a few dumb annoyances like no Game Corner, Spindas not being exportable, and how clunky the Poketch is with no bottom screen. I do have plenty of bigger gripes about BDSP, but they're all about what it isn't, and DP lacks all those things too.
Platinum is still the definitive Sinnoh experience though.
