4th Gen Diamond and Pearl are still my favorite!

[EmpoleonGames]

Even after years of improvements to the games, graphics the games are stunning but 4th gen is still my favorite for Pokemon and the story line! I really want a remake but I doubt it will ever happen.

To this day Empoleon was my favorite back when I started my first Diamond play through of Diamond, and now hes my mascot on my YouTube channel XD.

Anyway lets start a discussion about Diamond, Pearl, and even Platinum if you want! :)

I actually made a rom hack for ORAS which turns all the wild pokemon, trainers gyms etc. into ones from sinnoh check it out here: https://gbatemp.net/conversations/hello.316236/#message-1071623

BTW I know this is shameless self-promotion but it just seemed fitting since you were talking about sinnoh remakes

What about Platinum? :P

That one will always be my favorite, I spent the most time there. It's also where I (finally) learned about EV training/IV breeding, before that I was getting completely pwned in competitive battling. XD

platinum was, and still is fantastic if flawed, d/p is imo too flawed, slow, unbalanced and a mediocre roster of pokemon hamper what is otherwise a great region with a great story. don't get me wrong i'll go back and play diamond from time to time and in fact if not for how slooooooooow it is i would actually prefer diamond over plat, but plat is the better game.
