I loved the game it was a great trip down a nostalgic memory lane for me and was just as good as I remembered, if not even a little bit better than the original due to the nice quality of life improvements like most importantly not having to make Pokemon learn HM moves to use on the over-world any more.

If you liked the 4th gen of Pokemon even a little you definitely owe it to yourself to play this remake, it's faithful, it looks great (Both the character models and the attack animations) and it has a lot of content to do outside the base game that I barely even scratched on including a fun rhythm mini-game, co-op exploration dungeon and Animal Crossing-like base building. Plus not to mention end-game battles and the National Pokedex (All the Pokemon up to the first 4 gens can be caught)

P.S. Took down the Elite Four on my first try and beat Cynthia with a Garchomp that I named Cynthia in honor of her so anyway you look at it Cynthia wins regardless and all is right with the world because Cynthia is best girl.
