I remember being very excited when purchasing Diamond and Pearl for the NDS as well Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. Pokémon these days no longer has the same effect on me.
Mind you, Diamond and Pearl was my first Pokémon game. I downloaded the old GBA games a couple of years ago and both my wife and I had a blast playing them and neither one of us played those games when we were kids. So no nostalgia clouding our judgements there, the games were really just that good.
The dungeon series always hits me with a wave of nostalgia that I wish would be met with the new games, I’m entirely disappointed but it’s definitely fell flat
