#WHEN PEOPLE COMPARE POKEMON TO DOG FIGHTING SERIES#
Pokemon has long been a series that’s done the absolute bare minimum to innovate between titles, so putting out a low effort remake of a past game feels like standard operating procedure in a way. But as far as what a remake/remaster should accomplish, it's hard to view Brilliant Diamond as anything short of an absolute failure. Does that mean that there is still a halfway decent game at the core of Brilliant Diamond? Sure if you enjoyed the original Diamond and/or Pearl on DS, then you'll probably still enjoy this. Nearly everything that a revised version of a game should do, Brilliant Diamond does not. Still, I don't think it's an unfair assessment to say that Pokemon Brilliant Diamond is one of the worst remakes, or remasterings, or whatever you want to call it, that I've ever played. Fortunately, Pokemon was happy to oblige and take the blow to ensure we all remember that Nintendo-published games can be disappointing just as often as they are exceptional. And after the release of October’s excellent Metroid Dread, I was worried I might be starting to build up a dangerous amount of goodwill towards Nintendo. Yin and yang, maintaining some bizarro world sense of balance. For every Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, there must be a Paper Mario: Color Splash to balance things out.
