Pokéfans all over the world are definitely going to have a great day ahead of them after what the Pokémon Company International just announced.
According to a recent press release, we now have a release date for the upcoming Pokémon Diamond and Pearl remakes, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, respectively. In addition to this, the release date for the first-ever open-world game in the franchise, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, was announced as well. When Are the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Remakes Release Dates? Pokémon Legends: Arceus will bring players back to a time in the Sinnoh Region where everything was completely different.
Both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are set to release on November 19, 2021, for the Nintendo Switch, just in time for the holidays. Meanwhile, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is just a couple of months away with a January 28, 2022 release date.
This isn't all the good news that Pokéfans can look forward to as well. According to the company behind the worldwide phenomenon, a new update to Pokémon Home is also set to arrive soon with the "Catch Calendar". This is a feature that will let players view registered Pokémon on the Pokedex from different angles.
While this isn't a groundbreaking feature, those who've been having fun taking photos of their favorite pocket monsters in the new Pokémon Snap will appreciate the new addition.
Speaking of new experiences, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are not new. Both are remakes of the original Diamond and Pearl versions that were released back in 2006. The two will also serve as the first Pokémon remakes released since 2014's Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as well as the first main games in the series not made by Game Freak.
