Brilliant Diamond does nothing to fix them. Those were fundamental issues in an otherwise solid Pokémon game.

Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members have weird teams that don’t always match up with the type they are supposed to represent … because there aren’t enough Pokémon of that type in the game. That said, the original games do have some glaring flaws, like locking new Pokémon evolutions like Dusknoir and Electivire to the post-game or barely having any available Fire-types.
ORIGINAL POKEMON GAMES SERIES
Brilliant Diamond delivers the same experience you’ve come to know and love from this series, so it scratches the itch for a classic Pokémon experience for those who feel the series has strayed too far from its roots with Trials and Wild Areas. You go on a journey to fill the Pokedex, defeat eight gym leaders and an evil organization, catch a Legendary Pokémon, and then become the Champion by defeating the Elite Four. The end result is comfortable, familiar, and utterly uninspired. It feels like the developers haphazardly chose where to make improvements and where to leave things the same. Outside of a few welcome introductions, this is the original Pokémon Diamond and Pearljust as you remember, for better and for worse. Seeing the Sinnoh region get the remakes it deserves is delightful.īut I’m also disappointed with the quaintness of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond.

Though Pokémon Sapphire was technically the first one I played, the Sinnoh region truly cemented my love for Pokémon - and video games medium at large. Pokémon Diamond for the Nintendo DS was the first video game I ever received as a Christmas gift.
