Pokémon Brilliant Diamond (Japanese: ポケットモンスター ブリリアントダイヤモンド Pocket Monsters Brilliant Diamond) and Pokémon Shining Pearl (Japanese: ポケットモンスター シャイニングパール Pocket Monsters Shining Pearl) are the second paired Generation VIII games that are enhanced remakes of the fourth-generation titles Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The games will be released on the Nintendo Switch.
The games were announced worldwide on the 25th Anniversary of the release of Pokémon Red and Green on February 27, 2021 at 12 am JST through Pokémon Presents. The paired versions will be released worldwide on November 19, 2021. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. These are the first core series games not to be developed directly by Game Freak.
Features
Overall, the game's graphical style is different compared to Pokémon Sword and Shield. The camera returns to a mostly top-down viewing angle similar to the original Diamond and Pearl, while the player and NPCs appear with chibi proportions in the overworld but regular proportions in battle. The regular overworld appears to use random encounters only, while Pokémon Hideaways in the Grand Underground use symbol encounters.
While it is unknown how many Pokémon will be obtainable in the game, several Pokémon from the Platinum expansion of the Sinnoh regional Pokédex, such as Houndoom and Porygon-Z, along with Pokémon outside the original listing, such as Sentret have been seen in pre-release footage. Additionally, the official website has a screenshot showing Bidoof's stat screen with a Pokédex number of 399, its number in the National Pokédex.
New features
- The Underground has been replaced with the Grand Underground.
Features from recent generations
- Walking Pokémon make a return.
- Trainer customization is now available. The Metronome Style Shop, where outfits can be purchased, replaces the location of what used to be the Veilstone Game Corner.
Returning features
- Seals return for the first time since HeartGold and SoulSilver, and are now called Stickers.
- The Union Room returns for the first time since Generation V.
- Super Contests return for the first time since Platinum.
Connectivity
The game is planned to receive Pokémon HOME connectivity at some point in 2022. The game will not support Ranked Battles.
Game-exclusive Pokémon
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair.
