The clip kicks off with the return of the Poketch, with the wrist-based device once again offering an array of important services that will enhance how players interact withBrilliant DiamondandShining Pearl’sworld. It’ll allow players to track the time, find hidden items using a built-in dowsing rod, and check how friendly a trainer is with their Pokemon.
They’ll also be able to use it to access HM’s to move past obstacles or fast-travel, although the officialBrilliant DiamondandShining Pearlwebsite appears to hint there will be a significant change to the system. According to the site, the Poketch will “call on wild Pokemon to help” when players access their HMs, hinting that trainers may not need to fill their Pokemon’s move slots with HMs like in prior games.
The trailer then highlights theability to make poffins, which will seemingly play out much like the original, with players mixing a batter, cooking it, and then feeding the baked treats to their Pokemon to enhance their stats. Players can even look forward to making poffins alongside their pocket monsters when they visit the reimagined Amity Square, which will offer several activities for trainers to enjoy with their team.
Finally, the trailer dives into some of the returning faces trainers will encounter throughout their journey, including Cheryl, who players first rain into in Eterna Forest in the original game. It also highlightsBrilliant DiamondandShining Pearl’sversions of Riley and Eterna City Gym Leader Gardenia, with the footage showing a brief glimpse of the player’s battle against the latter. It wasn’t the onlyPokemontrailer to debut today, with Nintendo also offeringa brand new look atPokemon Legends: Arceus,highlighting tons of fresh features coming to the innovative new take on the long-running series.
Pokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlare slated to launch on November 19 for Nintendo Switch.
