It’s official, The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl arrive this year.
The PR describes how the Nintendo DS originals have been faithfully reproduced. There are also a number of updates, including easy-to-understand and player-friendly features.
All of this has led fans to wonder if the content of the third version, Pokémon Platinum, will feature. According to a Twitter user known as’full timer‘, chances are it will, based on the reveal trailer:
As can be seen above, there is apparently an additional NPC in the Platinum version of Floaroma Town which is also in the Switch version. This character will give you Gracidea if you have Shaymin on hand.
It’s also considered “more concrete evidence” than Porygon-Z’s appearance in the Switch trailer – which appears in Diamond and Pearl’s post-game.
What do you think of this? Do you think it’s a sign of Platinum version content in the remakes? Leave a comment below.
