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?

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

Platinum came out a year after Diamond and Pearl, it made a lot of changes to the games. From the top of my head these are the most important ones:

  • Expanded Pokedex from 151 to 210 or so pokemon.
  • Revamped team galactic, changes their bases' looks and adding tons of dialogue.
  • Gym leaders, galatic leaders and elite four have improved teams due to the added pokemon.
  • Improved sprites although this doesn't really matter at this point.
  • Added trainers that follow you and turn areas into pure double battles for a while.
  • Improved the big showdown with team galatic and gave Giratina a role in the story.

Thanks! You have convinced me to play platinum over the switch releases.
