Game Overview:
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are turn-based role playing games developed by ILCA and published by The Pokemon Company and Nintendo.
They are remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and the first mainline games in the series to not be developed by Game Freak.
The Pokemon Company's COO has revealed that the company has been having conversations about the non-stop release cadence of Pokemon games.
It was previously reported that The Pokemon Company enjoyed a record year in the previous fiscal year with a net profit of $332 million.
According to Kantan Games CEO Dr. Serkan Toto, this was a "record financial year" for the company with net profit up by 123 percent year-on-year.
Both recently-released Pokemon games have enjoyed stellar sales, with Pokemon Legends: Arceus having crossed the 11.4 million mark in just 10 weeks.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have added another fresh pair of Mythical Pokemon. Patch 1.3.0 of the game is now live as well.
From now until March 27, players can receive Professor Oak's letter to add the Mythical Pokemon Shaymin to their collections.
You can now play with up to eight players via the Union Room, while the Colosseum also allows for battles with custom rulesets.
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch and the PS5 both also enjoyed solid sales in Japan over the course of the previous two weeks.
