Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were finally released yesterday worldwide after many years when fans would ask for remakes of Generation 4 games, seeing how many players started their journey in the Pokemon universe with those games. Reviews for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are coming in as more players get to experience the game in full - or long enough to provide their feedback on the first remakes made outside of Game Freak, and they are mostly positive. While the art style is very different from the standards of Pokemon Sword and Shield, the remakes for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl blend modern move sets with a largely improved Pokedex that makes Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl good additions to the franchise.
