Ahead of this week’s launch, reviews for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl are now starting to emerge. Nintendo just lifted the embargo on the two Switch games.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl were announced for Switch this past February. New trailers and information have been shared regularly since then, though it’s safe to say that these are traditional remakes.

We recently shared a video – available here – discussing the remakes and why The Pokemon Company opted for this approach.

Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
The remakes of the fourth Pokemon generation are finally arriving on Switch next week – specifically November 19 – with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. However, they are not exactly what we expected. The Pokemon Company opted for a different approach this time with a faithful remake that’s really close to the original titles on DS, with a small number of quality of life improvements.
The announcement of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl initially saw a mixed reception by fans – myself included. After watching some of the trailers over the past few months, I feel as though the general opinion is gaining a bit more positivity, though people are still cautiously hyped.
