Pokemon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Comparison Video Shows How Much Battle Speed Has Improved

YouTuber DIstantKindom uploaded a side-by-side comparison of a Pokemon taking Super Effective damage on the Nintendo DS version of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and compared it to the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl editions.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Dataminers Discover Players Can Get National Dex After First Gym

The National Pokedex, or National Dex, is a Pokedex that allows players to document and catch Pokemon based around the nation, not just a singular region. Ultimately, this means more Pokemon to discover and catch. However, many thought that the National Dex was something to be earned after defeating the Elite Four and moving onto post-game content. One Redditor had even put picking up the National Dex on a large checklist they created once they’d finished the base game....

Pokemon Co. Releases Absolutely Bizarre Music Video Starring Magnemite

The music video in question is completely in Japanese, which follows the release pattern of past videos before they eventually complete their localization process and make another round of waves upon their English release.
