Plays great. Feels great. Looks great
Minor enhancements to gameplay for more hardcore fans
Big quality of life improvements since the original
Enhanced underground area
Full 3D polygons used
Experience share streamlines a lot
Stays pretty true to the original Diamond and Pearl, while including some enhancements from later titles including Platinum

Ramanas Park and The Grand Underground are fantastic additions
An all around great visual overhaul with a great soundtrack

The game is streamlined and flexible thanks to the quality of life improvements. The core formula remains unchanged
and it still works. Sinnoh is diverse
full of things to do and to discover. The updated OST is amazing.

Lacks variety of wild Pokémon on many routes. NPC movements are particularly awkward. Rather low difficulty.

Gen 4 is always good
Wonderfully faithful recreation of Sinnoh, its inhabitants, and its music
Smart integration of the Pokétch into a singular screen
Some great, subtle changes to the trainer Pokémon movesets and held items

The best map in the series, with a great sense of progression and adventure, brought over as is
loads of content in the game, from a meaty campaign, huge amounts of minigames, optional dungeons, local and online multiplayer, and much more
loads of great improvements across the board, including the return of your Pokemon following you in the overworld, the ability to customize your character's look, and HMs not being tied to the Pokemon you have in your party
the soundtrack is great, and overall a wonderful modernization of the originals
the environments and battle backgrounds look great
enemy AI, team composition, and move pools have been notched up, and some later battles in the game are among the hardest in series history
a fairly meaty and substantial post-game.

The forced EXP share implementation can trivialize some of the difficulty and encounters in the game
the games ignore most content and mechanics from Pokemon Platinum entirely
touch screen support is bizarrely patchy and inconsistent
loads of bugs and glitches
the visual style is inconsistent, and looks especially bad for character models, and during cinematic moments.

Aesthetics are pretty good but might take a while to get used to
Nostalgia factor is (mostly) there
Grand Underground is way more dynamic than the original
Good entry point for beginners to learn basic competitive synergies

Feels grindier and less expansive than Sword/Shield
Worldbuilding and character development pales slightly in comparison to the original
Let's just give Garchomp Swords Dance - it'll be fun, they said.
