Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Trailer Shows Off Bad Guys, Gyms, And DLC

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl — the remakes of the DS games — are almost here, and that means more trailers!

The latest trailer on the Pokémon YouTube channel fills in some of the details, including Candice and Volkner, the Ice and Electric gym leaders, the Lake area, and the legendary trio of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. Team Galactic are back, too, with leader Cyrus being joined by trainers Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

As for the DLC, there’s an early-purchase bonus of two “Platinum Style Outfits” available through the game’s Mystery Gift function, which won’t require Nintendo Switch Online membership, but will require you to have an internet connection and at least two hours of playtime:

Other early-purchase bonuses include a Manaphy Egg, 12 Quick Balls, and 200(!) Poké Balls. The Egg is included in all versions, but the Balls are limited — see this image for details:
