>>57751287Yeah it's kino. Platinum is the superior game, obviously, but anons on here act as if Diamond/Pearl have absolutely nothing going for them at all. They're flawed, but I think they're still really solid games.
the pokemon distribution really is terrible, though >>57753251People always say this but forget that unlike in Platinum, Diamond/Pearl's engine hangs for a full second after literally EVERY SINGLE piece of battle dialogue. Playing through Pearl again recently has made me painfully aware of this. Cannot overstate how much of your time is saved by that one tiny fix.
