Summary

When HeartGold and SoulSilver came out, they became the definitive DS titles, and arguably the finest games in the series. But Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl don't feel like they'll make anywhere near that level of impact. The Chibi art style is a massive downgrade from the pixel art of the originals.
