I really didn't expect the chibi/toybox-style

[carlweathers]

woooo looks awesome !!!

I didn't play Sinnoh all the way through back in the day so I'm excited about this. I wonder what the dex will look like. The previous remakes brought in a bunch of pokemon that weren't in the original games right?

[KuroTsuki]

I'm actually playing through gen 4 for the first time(haven't played anything past gen 2, so I've started slowly working my way through all of them). I gotta say, gen 4 is really good and probably my second favorite behind gen 2 now, so this is cool even though I would've preferred Let's Go Johto. I'll probably wait for a sale, but I'll definitely grab this one.

Y'all notice that slowdown right? Just...weird when they could totally fake it and not show that lol

I'm guessing you mean in the Pokemon Legends trailer? But yeah, that shit looked terrible. The trees in some of the shots look 2D too lol. I figure it's just really early, though.

Edit: I'm talking the slow down and stuff specifically. The actual game seems interesting and can't wait to see more.

[Salodin]

Ohhhh yeah guess I did see the other trailer

Like the fact that they went with a more classic pokemon style for this one. I don't want to see them try a "realistic" mainline pokemon again until next Gen Nintendo consoles hit the market.

[Scythiroth]

Yeah, I do like how this looks even though I'm probably skipping this remake since it will probably be $60 each.

[Hitou]

I'm not really a fan of the style, even though I get what they're going for. It's just a little jarring after Sun and Moon went for full size models and then sword and shield after that. Something closer to X and Y would have been better but it's fine. If you can't get any other gen pokemon in the game besides what's normally in diamond/pearl I might just skip it though. Don't really care enough about gen 4 to pay 60 bucks to play the exact same game I have on DS still.

These are the best games to me in the entire series probably so am excite.

Developed by ILCA, and directed by Junichi Masuda (Game Freak) and Yuichi Ueda (ILCA), Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl enable fans to experience the original story and game features from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl in a fresh way. The original games have been faithfully reproduced and colorfully revitalized for Nintendo Switch. The sense of scale of the towns and routes has been carefully preserved, and fans who played the original games will recognize many familiar places. These games are updated with the easy-to-understand, player-friendly conveniences introduced in recent Pokémon core series video games, in addition to up-close-and-personal Pokémon battle scenes.

Trainers will choose either Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup to be their first partner Pokémon before setting off on their journey. Along the way, they will be able to encounter the Legendary Pokémon Dialga in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and the Legendary Pokémon Palkia in Pokémon Shining Pearl.

Turtwig
Category: Tiny Leaf Pokémon
Height: 1'4"
Weight: 22.5 lbs.
Type: Grass
Ability: Overgrow

Made from soil, the shell on Turtwig’s back hardens when it drinks water. Turtwig lives along lakes, and the leaf on its head will wilt if the Pokémon is thirsty.

Chimchar
Category: Chimp Pokémon
Height: 1'8"
Weight: 13.7 lbs.
Type: Fire
Ability: Blaze

Chimchar lives atop craggy mountains and can agilely scale sheer cliffs. Even rain can’t extinguish its fiery rear end, which is fueled by gas made in its belly.

Piplup
Category: Penguin Pokémon
Height: 1'4"
Weight: 11.5 lbs.
Type: Water
Ability: Torr3nt

Because it’s very proud, Piplup hates to accept food from people. A skilled swimmer, its thick down protects it from the cold as it dives for over 10 minutes while hunting.

Dialga
Category: Temporal Pokémon
Height: 17'9"
Weight: 1505.8 lbs.

Dialga appears in Sinnoh-region myths as an ancient deity and has the power to control time. It is said that time began to move when Dialga was born.

Palkia
Category: Spatial Pokémon
Height: 13'9"
Weight: 740.8 lbs.
Type: Water/Dragon
Ability: Pressure

Described as a deity in Sinnoh-region mythology, Palkia has the ability to distort space. It is said to live in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours.

Cant wait for Gamefreaks new lie on why not all the mons are in the game.

[Melena]

Gamefreak isn't involved with this one.

[Kaslo]

Gamefreak isn't involved with this one.

Doesn't mean I can't be pessimistic about everything!
