What Pokemon game should I play next? (lemmy.ml)

I have played most Pokemon games, but I am deciding between Pokemon Sun/Moon/Ultra and Brilliant Diamond.

I have never played either of these games not even their original versions. What do you think?

Additionally, is Sun/Moon good or is the Ultra version better?

Don't play Brilliant Diamond, play Platinum instead, it's much better in every single way.

You can use an emulator to get it up and running quickly.

As far as Sun vs Ultra Sun, I think most people prefer the original but I've never played them.

Can you tell me why platinum is better? I’m genuinely clueless.

BDSP are 1:1 Unity remakes of diamond and pearl, for better or worse. Platinum just had some small quality of life upgrades and both the legendaries.

Also, BDSP aren't made by Pokemon Company, I enjoyed the games but artistically it's just not Pokemon. If you told me BDSP was a fan game, I'd believe you. It's cool to see a 3d chibi take of Pokemon but I love the art direction of the DS games far more.

Platinum had a lot more than small upgrades, it's just easy to forget how much of gen 4 comes from platinum.
