Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl release date announced, ready for preorder

Months after their initial announcement, the Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl remakes are available to preorder, ahead of their release later this year.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl release date announced, ready for preorder

The remake of the classic Pokémon games were announced earlier this year, but we've finally got a release date: November 19, 2021.

The remakes will take players back to Sinnoh, but this time on the Nintendo Switch system and with all relevant upgrades.

As a remake, the story has been reproduced and preserved. This isn't a new game in an old setting, but a place for players to revisit familiar places and relive their favourite scenes.

Upgrading Diamond and Pearl means we get to see Dialga and Palkia once more, as well as Gen 4 Pokémon; including Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup as starters.

Both games, as well as a double pack with both, are available to preorder now ahead of the November 19 release.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus available for preorder, ahead of January 2022 release

Months after the announcement, Pokémon Legends: Arceus now has a release date and is ready for preordering.
