The Pokémon fandom has a seemingly endless well of fans it can pull in, and the original Diamond and Pearl games were the original carriers of that ambition.
It has been over 15 years since the original Diamond and Pearl were released stateside.
“The original Diamond and Pearl are special to me because it restored my confidence in not being ashamed in what I loved.”
Diamond and Pearl were the first set of Pokémon games to allow people to connect to the internet.
