Pokémon Brilliant Diamond[a] and Pokémon Shining Pearl[b] are upcoming 2021 remakes of the 2006 Nintendo DS role-playing video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The games are part of the eighth generation of the Pokémon video game series and are being developed by ILCA and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the Nintendo Switch. The games are scheduled to release on 19 November 2021. They were announced as part of the Pokémon 25th Anniversary event, alongside Pokémon Legends: Arceus (releasing 28 January 2022). They are the first main Pokémon games not to be developed by Game Freak.

Gameplay

See also: Gameplay of Pokémon and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl § Gameplay

Gameplay of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is expected to be similar to the original Diamond and Pearl games, comparable to previous remakes such as HeartGold and SoulSilver or Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are presented in a top-down isometric third-person perspective, though with a distinct visual style.[1]

Setting

The Sinnoh region is based on the Japanese island of Hokkaidō
See also: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl § Plot

As with the original games, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are set in the fictional region of Sinnoh,[2] an island based on the Japanese island of Hokkaidō.[3]

Development and release

Possible development on remakes of Diamond and Pearl had been leaked on 15 January 2021, when a "diamondpearl" subdomain of the Pokémon website was registered and published. Shortly after, the domain was taken offline.[4] On 26 February 2021, the day of the Pokémon 25th Anniversary Pokémon Presents presentation, several leakers claimed that the upcoming livestream would announce remakes of Diamond and Pearl, titled Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, alongside an open world game also set in the Sinnoh region, later revealed to be Pokémon Legends: Arceus.[5][6] During the Pokémon Presents, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were announced for the Nintendo Switch with a tentative late 2021 release date.[2]

Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are being developed by ILCA, licensed by Nintendo and oversighted by Game Freak;[7] as such, they are the first main-series Pokémon games where Game Freak is not the lead developer.[8] They are directed by Yuichi Ueda from ILCA and Junichi Masuda from Game Freak, the director of the original games.[9]

On 26 May 2021, it was announced that Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl would be releasing on 19 November 2021. At the same time, the box art for the two games were revealed.[10]

Reception

Pre-release

After the announcement, fans were divided on the new chibi art style shown in the trailer.[11][12]
