this game in an abstract sense evokes the same indecipherable feeling to me as im blue by eiffel 65, where its like impossible to give this shit a measurable rating cuz honestly any score here could be valid, it kinda just exists on a different plane than anything else in this form of media. i will say tho its kinda soulless now ever since they gave it to microsoft

platinums iteration of sinnoh is one of the best regions in a pokemon game, taking all the cool stuff in the original diamond and pearl, and ironing out all the bullshit those games came with initially.
the main problem is how ungodly slow this game is, which is unfortunately bad enough to take away from the overall experience. on top of this, you gotta deal with sinnohs 9 billion hms, that are pretty much all required. you're gonna have to haul around at least 1 of tropius or bibarel to use as nothing more than an hm slave, just due to the sheer number of them (most of which arent even useful enough to have on team members you care about).
if you can get past this though, the games pretty fkn great. definitely one of the best experiences mainline pokemon has to offer.
