The Pokemon series has been a mainstay for gamers ever since its launch in the mid-90’s.
As gaming hardware evolved, the games also kept up with changes, both graphically and in gameplay. The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo have just revealed the release schedules of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus games.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl will be launched on November 10, 2021, and the double pack of both games will also be released on the same day. These are remakes of the original Nintendo DS games Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
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.
Meanwhile, the Pokémon Legends: Arceus games will be made available on January 28, 2022, with the series featuring exciting actions 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 setting of Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the vast expanse of the bygone Sinnoh region with the Mount Coronet towering over.
The Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus games will be released exclusively on Nintendo Switch systems.
Pokémon HOME, the cloud service for Nintendo Switch and compatible mobile devices, introduces the Catch Calendar with its latest update. With this feature, trainers can easily relive memories of their adventures such as the day they first caught a certain Pokémon event dates, 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 the Pokémon HOME from different angles. This adds extra fun in discovering new de-tails of a Pokemon.
As a special treat, users can receive Bulbasaur and Squitle as Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME and in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. The Mystery Gifts feature is available only on the mobile device (iOS/Android) version
