Brintons

Dropped the ball, adds nothing new and is a step back from Platinum. Had the perfect opportunity to introduce better graphics, story, Pokedex, etc., and failed to do so. Just play Platinum for the optimal Sinnoh experience.

Don't listen to the critics on this one, especially if you're a big Pokemon fan or grew up with Pokemon. I love this franchise, but have been disappointed with Game Freak ever since X and Y because, let's be honest, mainline Pokemon games, especially newer ones, have mediocre stories. However, this game's story is beautiful with a lot of layered themes and amazing characters, and it made me so happy that one of my childhood favorite franchises had such a great story that I didn't know about! Only thing is, the game play is an acquired taste, but by the mid to late game, you'll probably enjoy it.
