A Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Remake At Last! This entry was posted in entertainment, Nintendo, Pokemon and tagged Nintendo Switch, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl on by Wilhelm Arcturus.
While we don’t have a firm date for the Diablo II remake, it was said that it would be available near the end of 2021, and no studio wants to launch after Christmas, so November seems a likely time for it as well. I am definitely up for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, though I hope the release doesn’t overlap too closely with Diablo II: Resurrected. So we have some old and new Pokemon experiences coming up. We will be able to experience this “bold new direction” for the Pokemon series come January 28, 2022. In addition, the other upcoming Pokemon title, Pokemon Legends: Arceus also got a launch date this past week. The Nintendo site has an updated descriptions of how they plan to recreate the original Nintendo DS experience and what to expect. The launch date for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl is November 19, 2021.

We’ll see if my daughter and I can find some time to play when she is home from school. Well, I might buy it soon, but I will be buying two copies and saving it for the holidays. I am not running out and buying it today. (We bought them all, though I don’t think either of us finished UltraSun & UltraMoon.) It was the gateway to us playing through almost all of the titles that came out on the DS series. We played through that game together, bought the guide books, battled the gym leaders, caught and traded Pokemon, built bases in the underground, and caught the legendary Pokemon. Watching her play got me invested and soon I had my own cobalt blue DS Lite, a solid piece of hardware that is still sitting on my bookshelf. Now though, there is the return to the Sinnoh region, which is where Pokemon began at our house, back when we bought our daughter a pink Nintendo DS Lite to keep her occupied on regular flights to visit family in Hawaii. I bought and played through some of Sword & Shield, having purchased a Switch Lite, but it didn’t really stick with me. Sword & Shield set a new standard for Pokemon titles, running through two DLC expansions as the story wound through the Galar region. That reset the schedule as Game Freak first put out a light Pokemon title, Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee, before committing to a full blown Pokemon RPG title in with Pokemon Sword & Shield. Pokemon would be moving to the Nintendo Switch hardware. The Pokemon era with the DS series was over. But after that… and after I bought the new Nintendo 2DS XL… the word came that they were done with Pokemon on the that hardware.
It seemed like it was going to be the next after Game Freak finished up their work on Pokemon UltraSun & UltraMoon in 2016. I am already in possession of the first gym badge, so I will have to see how far my daughter and I get.įor me this remake has been a long time coming. The pandemic times have also been the years of the remakes for me, with things like WoW Classic, Burning Crusade Classic and, Diablo II Resurrected, all of which I have enjoyed to some extent. Experience share is now party wide by default from the start, as in Sword & Shield, rather than depending on the experience share item being held by a single Pokemon. The mechanics of the switch demanded some, so your Poketech smart watch now grabs the corner of the screen as opposed to owning the second screen on its own. The charm, the light story where an ten year old child is allowed to wander the world with just a kiss on the cheek and a “stay safe!” from his mom about two minutes into the game… as compared to the ponderous, goes on forever intro to Pokemon Sword & Shield… and the rather simple game play, that is all a bonus for me. Into a Switch rendered Sinnoh… also, you can do screen shots on the Switchīut you know what? It is all working for me so far.
