Although fans finally received an official reveal of the long-awaited Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes last month with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the games have been shrouded in debate ever since their announcement. While most fans seemed to be happy to receive any news at all, many quickly took to the internet to discuss Pokemon’s chibi overworld artstyle, something not seen in the mainline series since 2013’s Pokemon X and Y.
Even though Pokemon games utilized a chibi artstyle in the overworld for nearly 17 years, fans have expressed mixed feelings towards the artstyle of the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl games. While some fans expressed joy over the faithfulness to the original Nintendo DS games, others expected to see something closer to Pokemon Sword and Shield, hoping for a full-scale recreation of the Sinnoh region. Now, one fan has created their own trailer depicting what more detailed and realistic Diamond and Pearl remakes could have looked like.
Over on Twitter, digital artist and game designer millenniumloops posted their fan-made Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl trailer, splicing in their own footage with the original trailer’s. The fan-made trailer features an artstyle much more akin to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and even Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Game Freak’s upcoming Pokemon action RPG set in the Sinnoh region of old. The artist’s trailer features lush, vibrant environments, loaded with wild Pokemon and a few other surprises.
Complete with a cutscene featuring the player choosing their starter Pokemon, millenniumloops’ trailer also features following Pokemon, a feature now beloved by many fans since its debut in Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver and return in the Let’s Go games. However, that’s not the only fan-favorite feature that appears in the trailer, as Mega Evolution also makes a quick cameo, featured in what looks to be the battle against Sinnoh’s Champion, Cynthia. Finally, the trailer concludes with an ambitious encounter with Diamond and Pearl’s signature Legendary Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia.
In another tweet, the digital artist mentioned that this is what they had hoped to see in the 4th generation remakes, as opposed to a nearly 1-to-1 recreation, which fans have argued looks like more of a remaster than a remake. While many details have yet to be revealed about the upcoming Nintendo Switch games, fans do hope to see the return of Mega Evolution, just as millenniumloops had shown.
While ILCA’s Diamond and Pearl remakes seem to stay more faithful to their source material, at least fans have an entirely new Pokemon experience to look forward to in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Regardless, with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl releasing late 2021 and Pokemon Legends in early 2022, fans of the franchise will have a lot on their plate soon enough.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl release exclusively for the Nintendo Switch late 2021.
