Pokemon Brilliant Diamond (Switch)
Actually beat it a week after release, but I just finished doing everything I wanted to do. Got a Black Trainer Card which means I finished the National Dex, got a 100 streak in the battle tower, beat a Master Contest and got 100 different statutes in the underground

Honestly...this game pretty sucks? it's such a lazy remake and took so many steps backward. It also shows that DP were not really good games. A regional Pokedex of 200 but you only have access to about 170 of them before you finish the E4 means you get to face the same Pokemon over and over again. Or make the same team again and again

The QOL features also took a huge hit. TMs back to one use. Hatching eggs take forever. No fast way to level up Pokemon. BP grinding is slow until you reach a high ranking in Masters but that will take a long time to get there

Also it forces friendship bonuses on you and that's feel like cheating. I can forgive the EXP share but the forced friendship is terrible. Suddenly I land a crit, or survive with 1 hp, or debuff a statues effect or...the worst - actually evade a move altogther. Can't help but feel like a cheating.

And If I mention cheating - the Battle Tower sucks and doesn't respect your time. To unlock Masters you need to clear a 49 trainers streak. To get a star on your trainer card you need to get a 100 streak.
You lose once and you need to try again. Losing at 47 or so means you just wasted 3 hours of your life. And you usually lose to some bullshit like missing a attack against Pokemon holding Bright Powder. Or getting hit by a crit.
It's too punishing.
At the end I used two cloned Pokemon with illegal move combo, like No Guard Machoke with Fissure and Endeavor Aron. I cheated and beat it. I beat Masters too. And I don't regret it one bit because the Battle Tower sucks so much

Also barely any new content but that's because I want to believe they saved it for Legends Arceus. I will see if it's true in just a few hours
