I don't mean this as some kind of detrimental comment or anything, but I think I would've liked Diamond and Pearl more if it had been my first Pokemon games. Gen 4 came out at the time when everyone and their mother had a DS and I think it more than any other gen was a whole lot of people's 'first Pokemon game'. In the same way there are still those who wave the Gen One flag, so too are those who have such fond memories of Gen 4 that it's their favorite. And that's not a bad thing, like whatever you like it's all good. The good that Gen 4 did with the meta cannot be understated, the physical/special split remains the best thing they've done, and it even is the gen that introduced one of my favorite Pokemon (it's Froslass) but it's also the gen I have to struggle to recall something I liked about. 


Basically I just want Gen 5 remakes when GameFreak when.
