Fresh information disclosed about Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus video games

The world of poki is set to expand once again with the launch of two new games and an exciting in-game event.

Firstly, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl will be available on November 19, 2021, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch systems. These games take players on a journey through the Sinnoh region, where three lakes filled with bountiful water—Lake Acuity, Lake Verity, and Lake Valor—are said to be the resting places of Legendary poki.

Meanwhile, Pokémon Legends: Arceus will launch on January 28, 2022. Early purchasers of this game will receive the Baneful Fox Mask, a unique Hisuian Zoroark-themed mask that can be worn during gameplay. Additionally, they'll get the Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players will encounter various characters, including Gym Leaders like Candice of the Snowpoint City Gym and the charismatic figure who rules over Team Galactic, Cyrus. Cyrus is accompanied by Weavile as his partner poki. The roles of Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn in these games have not been specifically detailed, but in the Pokémon universe, Team Galactic's commanders are typically named as such.

The Sinnoh region is home to several unique poki, such as Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark. Hisuian Zorua, a Ghost/Normal type poki, can disguise itself and feed on targets' terror by creating illusions using spiteful power emitted from its fur. Hisuian Zoroark, on the other hand, is a Normal/Ghost type poki known for its expressions of utter malice that are said to drive those who see them mad. However, Hisuian Zoroark appears to have a compassionate streak for those it considers close or like family.

Hisuian Zorua rebirthed as a Ghost-type after being driven from other lands and perishing in the harsh Hisuian environment. Hisuian Zoroark, on the other hand, is a formidable creature with a height of 5'3" (1.6 m) and a weight of 160.9 lbs. (73 kg). Hisuian Zorua is smaller, standing at 2'4" (0.7 m) and weighing 27.6 lbs. (12.5 kg).

The games are currently available for preorder with special early-purchase bonuses. Additionally, a commemorative Pokémon GO event will take place in-game from November 16, 2021, to November 21, 2021, to celebrate the launch of both titles.

In these games, players will cross paths with various characters, including Gym Leaders like Volkner of the Sunyshore City Gym who uses Luxray as his lead poki, and poki like Jupiter's Skuntank (partnered with Jupiter, but the role in the games is not specified), Mars' Purugly, and Saturn's Toxicroak. The games also feature Legendary poki Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, which are said to represent the Being of Knowledge, the Being of Emotion, and the Being of Willpower respectively.
