suffered very very hard from basically just being a Backup Plan for if people didnt like Legends Arceus and/or if they wanted a more Direct Remake. and like even then if they were gonna make a beat-for-beat remake why not make a remake of platinum which is far and away the preferred improved definitive version like would it even be THAT much more work. like i love the visual style and the lil flourishes they gave to the trainers and the underground/not needing HMs are such massive improvements to sinnoh but the whole time youre playing you can just FEEL that something huge is missing yknow? its an unfortunate game to be sure, but on its own merits its still a fun and cute one and its nice to go through sinnoh with fairy types being an option, plus I love the pokeball sticker system. probably just play Renegade Platinum, though.
