The Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes are out so here are my drawings (both old and a redraw) of my favorite starter and its evolutions!
“I thought Sword and Shield-like Sinnoh remakes were happening??”
I am so hype for a historical Pokémon game even if my version of Barry wont be in it! (But I do hope for a samurai/ronin character!)
Never thought the dream would come true of getting Pokémon Diamond/Pearl remakes, but…here we are.
My beautiful boy 🥺 Just look at him
But seriously. Fuck y’all who hate on these remakes. To me it’s faithful to the style of Diamond and Pearl on the Nintendo DS. I have played Pokémon Diamond for countless hours and the same goes for Pokémon Platinum. Pokémon Pearl I never got until much later but.. It’s still a big huge part of my childhood. It was one of the games that made me an even bigger gamer. I got given Pokémon Diamond on release date. I made friends with @bliss-wily with Pokémon Diamond. Like seriously this is a great game.. After seeing the trailer for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It made me legit cry when I heard that familiar tune for the startup on Diamond and Pearl. These games are gonna be a straight preorder for me! Just they look absolutely beautiful!
Dawn: I am not only happy to finally be getting a remake, but I’m also happy with how many are loving my cute chibi form. That’s right. Bow down to your baby queen!!!
Cynthia: And if you talk shit to my baby, then I will fuck your shit up.
Wow. Gamefreak really gave us those DP remakes and a premake just to get people to shut up about it.
Well played, Gamefreak. Well played.
A patterns I have noticed particularly after Pokemon Legends got announced

I am so excited about Pokemon Legends: Arceus, y’all
I know everybody is excited for the Diamond and Pearl remakes. I know. But please, please, just think critically for a moment. If you have the slightest issue with how Game Freak has been conducting themselves recently, then please listen to what I have to say here.
Tell me: what do the Sinnoh remakes have that make them a different experience from the originals? Remember, you could always dust off your DS or 3DS and play the game. Does it seem like they are changing enough to warrant purchasing the same game again? Think hard about this.
Also, consider that Game Freak, quite possibly, may make the price of the remakes $60 USD, similar to Sword and Shield. That’s twenty dollars MORE than the originals were as a new experience.
Legends is a new experience. I don’t know how I feel about it yet, but it is clearly something new, so I can fully support giving that a shot. But be responsible with your money when it comes to a game that was already great and already portable. Don’t pay a massive convenience tax just to avoid using a console you already own.
Thank you for listening, and thank you for considering.
I seriously can’t wait to hear what the new Lake Valor theme is gonna sound like. I get to walk around Snowpoint city again to. This is the best morning.
Oh my god Gamefreak actually listened and took a step in the right direction
