THE Pokémon Company International and Nintendo have revealed the release schedules of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus games.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl (diamondpearl.pokemon.com/en-us/) will be launched on November 10, along with the double pack of both games. January 28, 2022 brings the Pokémon Legends: Arceus games, with the series featuring exciting action with RPG elements. Players will be on the mission to create and complete the Sinnoh region’s first-ever Pokedex by catching, surveying and researching the wild Pokémons.
The Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl are the older versions of the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, which were released on the Nintendo DS system in 2006. In the latest remakes, the original story has been reproduced along with various game functions available in Nintendo Switch. Pokémon trainers will be challenged to discover the mysterious connection between Dialga or Palkia, and the Sinnoh region in great adventures that can be both fresh and nostalgic.
The Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus games will be released exclusively on Nintendo Switch systems.
The latest update of Pokémon Home, the cloud service for Nintendo Switch and compatible mobile devices, introduces the Catch Calendar. With this feature, trainers can easily relive memories of their adventures such as the day they first caught a certain Pokémon event, or occasions when they received a Pokémon as a gift. The Catch Calendar can also be marked with personal birthdays and anniversaries of the very first encounter with a rare or favorite Pokémon.
This update also enables trainers to view their Pokémon registered to the Pokedex, in Pokémon Home, from different angles. This adds extra fun in discovering new details of a Pokémon.
Moreover, Poke Home is compatible across multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch games Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu!; Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!; Pokémon Sword; and Pokémon Shield; the Nintendo 3DS software Pokémon Bank; and Pokémon GO.
As a special treat, Pokémon fans users can receive Bulbasaur and Squitle as Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokémon Home and in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. In Pokémon Home, the Mystery Gifts feature is available only on the mobile device (iOS/Android) version.
