Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have finally been released. The duo of games manages to stand out compared to the previous remakes in the Pokemon series. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are the first remakes to be made for a home console Nintendo as opposed to a strictly portable system. They are the first remakes to be released in the context of a specific milestone, which, in this case, is the 15th anniversary of the original Diamond and Pearl. Lastly, in an attempt to remain faithful to the original games’ aesthetics, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are the first remakes to deviate from their generations’ art style, preferring to adopt a chibi look for the human characters rather than the fully developed overworld models in Sword and Shield.
