Originally published on Pokeball Insider.
During today's Pokemon Presents presentation, new information and gameplay was revealed for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, set to release on November 19, 2021. In addition to a lot of top-down footage and gameplay, new features were detailed, as well as the return of some Sinnoh-exclusive minigames.
In addition to a large amount of new footage concerning the Sinnoh region and its new graphical style, several features that were hotly anticipated were confirmed to be reappearing in these new remakes.
The Grand Underground is one of the returning features, and allows players to dig for fossils, relics, and base locations in a sprawling underground complex. New to this minigame are the Pokemon Hideouts, which contain Pokemon that cannot be found anywhere else, and change based on the statues placed in the player's Secret Base.
Statues can be found while digging and exploring this cavernous minigame, and placing them will provide you and your Pokemon with small buffs based on the statue.
Other features included in these remakes include the fashion system from Pokemon Sword and Shield, Pokemon Contests, and online battles in the Union Room.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will also include new collectible stickers that can affect the appearance of the player's pokemon when sent out during a battle.
Preorders are now available for these two gen 4 remakes, and they are both set to release on November 19, 2021.
