Adventures in the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond game will take place in the familiar Sinnoh region.

You’ll choose either Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup to be your first partner Pokémon and then set off on your journey to become the Champion of the Pokémon League. Along the way, you’ll run into the mysterious organization Team Galactic, and be able to encounter the Legendary Pokémon Dialga.

Here, you can dig up valuable treasure and Pokémon Fossils, create your own Secret Base, and more! When you aren’t exploring in the Grand Underground, enter a Super Contest Show!

Review: My favorite remake and currently my favorite Pokemon game - So there are a lot of people that are upset by this game, and I understand it's not exactly like all the other remakes. But this is the by far best remake to me. New content is pretty sparse. But if you're going into this looking to play Pokemon Diamond and Pearl as a veteran player, or a new player for the first time, this game is fantastic. The biggest thing to get used to is the art style. This is as close as they could get to the DS style without making it looks like it's the DS game on Switch. A lot of people really dislike the Chibi art style, and I was one of those people on reveal. However, with my 150 hours of playtime currently, the art style continues to grow on me more and more. Battle scenes and Pokemon animations are what you would expect. I would say these are higher quality MOSTLY than Sword and Shield, but it's the next game, so you'd expect they'd improve. There are a few of them that are kind of bland/boring(The Team Galatic grunt battles for instance) but then you see the ones against the Galactic Commanders and the battle scene grows on you. Galactic Battles are...just kind of a dark background with their G on the ground, and the commanders are that same setup but then you see planets up in the background changing based on which commander you're fighting, which is fantastic. Pokemon Variety was one of the weakest parts of the original Diamond and Pearl, and with the inclusion of the underground, you can find WAY more pokemon than originally available. You can even find Pokemon that weren't available in the wild this early until Platinum. You can dig up statues, and use those statues in the underground to influence Pokemon type encounter rates and everything! Something people were worried about was an always on EXP Share. This works exactly like the one in Sword/Shield does. Every pokemon on your team gets EXP when you catch or kill a pokemon. However, in my experience with Sword and Shield, it would leave you horrendously overleveled. In these games, it doesn't. I tend to be the type that will skip trainers. I can say that with my playstyle, it was very easy to fall behind in levels. I regularly would end up 2-3 levels down on gyms because of this. So the EXP Share doesn't break the game. It's great. There is also an "affection" system, which imo REALLY breaks the game. Here's what it can do. At 1hp or max hp, if a move hits you and could kill you, there's a chance your pokemon shrugs it off, surviving at 1hp "So you wouldn't be sad". It ALSO has a chance to shrug off status effects. So if someone say burned your Lopunny, there's a chance that burn just goes away. The Pokemon wills it gone. Or, you could get super lucky with a crit. They land a crit so you'll praise them for it (there is no mic on the switch. It's just text.) and these things kill some battles. I won my 2nd Maylene battle because of this. My levels were a bit off, but 3 crits and shrugging off paralysis twice won me the fight. It can make some fights a non factor. I would've preferred being able to turn this off, personally, but I can see why some people would like to have this. The biggest disappointment for me was follow Pokemon. You can only unlock this AFTER you get to Hearthome city...but man it's disappointing. Most pokemon(Every pokemon I've tried) can NOT keep up with you if you run. They will fall behind and get a pokeball enter and exit sound to pop up behind you. I've seen comments from a few people that stuff like Lucario or other bipedal Pokemon can keep up, but currently I've yet to see any. There are mods abound to fix it though, which leads to... If you have a homebrew Switch, these games get even better because there's already a pretty large modding community around them. Model swaps, minor game changes, and some audio changes are pretty common, but there's even groups working to fix some of the issues people had with the game. Increasing it to 60FPS, removing the DOF effect, fixing follow pokemon...lots of cool stuff. Even increasing the pokemon variety, adding some gifts, making gym leaders harder...they've got it all! That's about everything about these games. I would recommend it 100% of you're a fan of Pokemon, or even as a decent starting point! These games are supposed to get Pokemon Home support in 2022, so that'll be a lot of fun when it's here. If you're looking for competitive online, Pokemon Sword and Shield is the "official" competitive stuff, but there is still battling online with people in these! Review: I have to admit I teared up a little - The original Pokémon Diamond on the DS was the very first Pokémon game I ever owned. I can vividly recall the anticipation leading up to it, when I finally got it a few days after Christmas, and all of the days and late nights playing it. I was initially disappointed when this remake was announced by the lack of high end graphics, as most fans were. However I decided to let that go because what’s the point being upset about something like that. I preordered and got Brilliant Diamond. I will admit that I teared up a bit when I first turned this game, experiencing a rush of nostalgia that I didn’t expect to. I’ve played Diamond many times since 2007, but I re-experienced a sensation I hadn’t felt since the very beginning. "When you walked up Route 201 with your Pokémon, what did you feel? I've lived for 60 long years. Even now, I get a thrill when I'm with a Pokémon.” -professor Rowan The art style of this remake is a modern take on the style from the original games on the DS. Now that I’ve played it, I am glad they went this direction. As far as game mechanics go, this remake takes everything fans loved about the originals and improves on them. It is very much in the realm of classic gameplay and story from old school Pokémon games, but with some much needed quality of life improvements. For example in the original games, you always had to have two Pokémon dedicated to learning HM moves in order to get over the many obstacles along your journey. This was frustrating because it took up 8 entire move slots on your team - two entire Pokémon at the very minimum. This mechanic was much improved for this remake. Now all of the HM moves are added to your in game watch, and using them calls on a nearby wild Pokémon to lend you a hand. This frees up your team to allow you to always carry your favorites around everywhere you go. That’s just one example of improvements they made. I would go as far as to say that these remakes are some of the most complete and well made Pokémon games ever. And I definitely say they are the best Pokémon games that are modern and easily accessible for anyone because the game and the hardware to play it are still being made. Highly recommended if you were a fan of the original Diamond and Pearl. Also highly highly recommend it as a first Pokémon game to a kid in your life ## Features - Revisit the Sinnoh region from the original Pokémon Diamond Version game and set off to try and become the Champion of the Pokémon League - The Pokémon Brilliant Diamond game brings new life to this remade classic with added features - Explore the Grand Underground to dig up items and Pokémon Fossils, build a Secret Base, and more. - Test your style and rhythm in a Super Contest Show - A reimagined adventure, now for the Nintendo Switch system ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08Y6HCHP8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #507 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #31 in Nintendo Switch Games | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch Lite | | Computer Platform | Nintendo Switch | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (11,703) | | Date First Available | March 7, 2021 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00045496597801 | | Item Weight | 1.76 ounces | | Item model number | TBD | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Nintendo | | Number of Players | Single Player | | Product Dimensions | 6.61 x 4.09 x 0.39 inches; 1.76 ounces | | Publication Date | November 19, 2021 | | Rated | Everyone | | Release date | November 19, 2021 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 045496597801 | ## Images ![Pokemon Brilliant Diamond - Nintendo Switch Brilliant Diamond Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ua5OEHrNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display, Edition** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite remake and currently my favorite Pokemon game *by C***N on January 2, 2022* So there are a lot of people that are upset by this game, and I understand it's not exactly like all the other remakes.

Also highly highly recommend it as a first Pokémon game to a kid in your life ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A trip through time *by T***T on November 21, 2021* I am once again 8 yrs old. It's nice revisiting my first Pokemon game and meeting all of my favorite pokemon again. I'm actually surprised I remember a lot of the routes. Nostalgia aside, this is honestly a really good remake. Don't let all the negative reviews or stories fool you. If Sword and Shield were your first games, do yourself a favor and give this a try. This actually feels like a Pokemon game. Here's why I think the game is great: - Complex story. You feel as if you're completely immersed in the lore and storyline. There are so many different stories about pokemon and legends sprinkled throughout the main plot. - Lots to do. Unlike Sword and Shield, where everything was a straight path, and little to explore, there's actually a lot to see in this game. You can explore the caves, Mt. Cornet, participate in contests, go to the underground, and so much more. You don't have to go to the next gym right away, since there are other ways you can keep busy instead. - Graphics. I know people are complaining about the graphics, but I liked how the developers chose to stick with the original art style. After all, the game is a remake and the graphics help the game retain its original charm. - Quality of life updates. The game has features from the other games such as exp share and instant accessibility to the PC boxes among a few others. This makes gameplay a little more convenient. I do wish the exp share could be turned off, but at least it's not as generous as Sword and Shield. If you were to follow the plot straight through, your pokemon would be around the same level as your next gym challenge. Maybe a few levels up, but nothing too drastic. - NO HANDHOLDING. Okay I wouldn't say there's no handholding at all (it's a game designed for children), but it's not super easy. Some battles are actually a bit of a challenge, and other than a little note of where you should be going next, you're basically free to roam and figure out what you want to do. - VS Seeker. Oh how I missed this. This gives you an opportunity to re-battle trainers once you've gone through all of them. Last thoughts: It's not platinum, so don't expect the game to have platinum features. It is a true Diamond/Pearl remake. Other than the lack of fire types, the remakes do the originals justice. There's plenty of trainers to battle and things to do. The game really is fun, and I am so happy that the new generation of Pokemon fans will get to experience it. If you do decide to get the game, just relax and take your time going through it. No need to speed run and just enjoy your time in Sinnoh. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pokemon Brilliant Diamond - Nintendo Switch Brilliant Diamond Edition - Pokémon Legends: ArcEUs - Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Switch (OLED Model), Neon Blue/Neon Red, Int Version --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/289093248-pokemon-brilliant-diamond-nintendo-switch-brilliant-diamond-edition](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/289093248-pokemon-brilliant-diamond-nintendo-switch-brilliant-diamond-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
