    My enjoyment of the game is very good so far. I am only in the 8th gym and still have some more game left to play but overall the game has been very fun. This game features some cool features like walking around with your pokemon out in the overworld with you and you get a thing called the pokeradar which features the availability to use a certain move after every gym and it keeps on adding up. The cool thing about this game is that it is a remake of the sinnoh games diamond and pearl.

    Every main series pokemon game has 8 gyms/trials and some sort of elite 4 and champion battle. This game is no different with an interesting story that develops as the game goes on. For example at about close to the end of the regular season game 

    I am enjoying the game play. It is very fun and enjoyable not to mention how cool it is with the fact the the actual pokemon can travel with you in the overworld. The fact that they remade a game with really just different graphics and the way they had the setup with the evil team and the legendary was absolutely incredible and the setting for where the legendary was is incredible 

    This game can either be single player or double player it just depends on whether or not you are using the online feature. The single player part is when you go around the region and battle and catch pokemon. The multiplayer part of the game is when you battle and or trade with other people online 

    The graphics combine the new style of 3d graphics and old 2d graphics The music fits each part of the game very week Type matchups and learn how fun pokemon games are and you can learn valuable skills like what it means to be a team player and learn effective strategies to win and learn to have a fun time while playing a videogame about creatures 

    Comparing this to the past game pokemon sword and shield although the games may have been released 2 years after each other there is still things that have changed for example the graphics more specifically the way the characters look in brilliant diamond they look like 8 bit characters but with a more modern look and in sword and shield the difference is that the characters look like they would in a normal videogame for the year 2019. Another thing that sets the games apart is that when you finish all 8 gym battles you in brilliant diamond you face something called the elite for which is the 5-2 ranked trainers in the region and the champion where they are the top ranked trainer in the region meanwhile in sword and shield you battle the gyms and then participate in a tournament against some of the gym leaders your rivals and then the champion. From a legendary stand point these game are different because in brilliant diamond you get the legendary pokemon before the 8th and final gym but in sword and shield you are about to face the champion and then you get interrupted by battling and catching a legendary pokemon which is not the main legendary of the game but in sword and shield you get the main game legendary after you beat the game and can catch him in the postgame towards the end.

    The wild pokemon encounter mechanic is different too because in sword and shield you can see almost all the wild pokemon to catch meanwhile in brilliant diamond you do not have the availability to see what the wild pokemon are to encounter on each route. The final difference is that brilliant diamond is a remake of an older pokemon game pokemon diamond apart of the diamond and pearl games meanwhile sword and shield is a regular run of the mill new game to add to the franchise.
