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.

      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 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.
