As long as you understand the remakes don't really elaborate or add any substantial new features then go for it! I really enjoyed it and completed it over a long weekend but have barely touched it since

Yes, I'm aware of some negative reviews too. Thank yo so much. I will give it a try.

Still haven’t finished the game because at this point it’s literally too easy to be any fun.

I found a couple of battles hard. One gym and then maybe a couple of the E4 + Champion. My type matchings were NOT it, but thats what you get for using the squads you want to use

i haven’t played this game in a week and I don’t have any incentive to do so. This might be the worst Pokémon game for me, I fear.

Yeah I completed the Sinnoh dex and had a brief look around the post-game activities and haven't touched it since.

I have a complaint

So I bought Diamond, hihi. It's been fun but I've never played a Sinnoh game before so that's why.

So far I have some of my favorite Pokemon on my team like Haunter and Houndoom.

The whole reason I bought Diamond instead of Pearl is because Ekans is a version exclusive and I looove Arbok.

WELL.

You can't GET Ekans until you unlock the national dex and you can't do that until you see all 150 Sinnoh native Pokemon. So basically, Ekans is a postgame thing.

I'm going to riot

I had the same epiphany about Growlithe

You can trade for an Ekans tho if you know someone who has the national dex

It's bull

But then you have to pay for Nintendo online services. They already got more money out of me for this game than I wanted to give them

But if anyone wants to trade (and be patient with me while I figure out how to because I haven't traded things since Omega Ruby ) then I'd be happy to try it 

I have nothing to offer really since I've only just beaten the third gym and I'm taking it slow and enjoying team Galactic's silly asses

The game was entirely too easy this is such a common trend in Pokémon. They really need to figure out how to do like beginner intermediate and expert modes difficulty wise. They gotta remember their longterm fans who have been playing forever and know how to beat the game and make it challenging for them 

 

the only time I lost a battle was to Cynthia  and I beat her on my 3rd attempt!

The only struggles I had were Cynthia (underpowered) and Maylene (bad type matchups). Like you said the rest were pretty easy without any particular grinding.

I love Pokemon in general and loved Sinnoh back then too, but I haven't bought the game yet because I'm not sure if that game is worth the money, what do you think?

Ive got my money's worth. I don't see me picking it up again any time soon but I got what I paid for IMO. For major titles like these I usually go by rule that 1 hour of playtime = $1 in value

thank you! that's a nice way to compare it.

The way I'm dragging myself through this game. I'm literally on my phone during the battles cause it's so slow and easy

Same  I watch YouTube videos, the game is fun but the battles are sooooo dull. I’m starting to think maybe I’m getting over Pokemon because I’m almost thirty(or maybe I’m tired of the exp share and my entire team being OP)
