Fun and simple with a cute art style. Great rhythm title for the Switch.

Literally the game ever

For a cooperative game, Nine Parchments kinda sucks to play cooperatively

Heavily monetized. Haven't touched this game in forever but I can't imagine it's much better.

This game has wedged itself so deeply in my heart.

(I have played both games, and I will be using the same review for them both)

One of the franchise's first big experimental leap in story and design. And one of its most notably successful.

Truly a standout game in the Pokemon series, and a well-needed breather at its time. With memorable character design, an intriguing plot, and a Dex with arguably the most personality-filled Pokemon, Pokemon Black and Pokemon White are still a joy to play to this day.

Took everything from the original game and improved upon it. I miss this era of Pokemon.

As a standalone Pokemon game? Solid experience.
As a Diamond port? Also solid, it's basically the exact same experience with different graphics.
As a remake of Diamond, given expectations based on past remake such as ORAS and HGSS? Borderline heartbreaking.

Much of what I loved from the original DPPT games has altered beyond charm (Pokemon contests, the Grand Underground). Oddly enough, many other arbitrary things weren't changed at all. Bugs from the original Diamond and Pearl showed up in this game... Odd.

Still an enjoyable experience if I forgo my childhood wishes.

Christ this game is a fever dream

Polished game, love the loadout customization. The control scheme really gets me feeling like I'm combo'ing/chaining attacks, and that's always satisfying.

Big difficulty curve, but worth the challenge.

Psychologically, this game did something to me.

Jokes aside, it's honestly such a fun battle-royale adaptation of the TETRIS game model. The particle graphics, however, are very bright and obstructive and make it difficult to really play this game as much as I'd like.

I love the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise. This is a great game for beginners and rookies. The base game includes a wide variety of songs.

Been split between this and Taiko web simulators for my primary platform. My HORI drum works on both.

It was pretty damn fun and charming until it got repetitive.

The peak of brilliant and polished game design
