Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes of the 2006 Nintendo DS games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Set in the Sinnoh region, they offer a brand new collection of Pokémon to capture. It’s an all-new vision that uses a chibi art style that looks quite different from the original games but adds plenty of quality-of-life improvements from the DS originals. You’ll still capture as many Pokémon as you can throughout the adventure, which spans two halves that complement each other, but there’s plenty of other fun stuff to do in each game, too.
Getting either game for essentially $30 (or $20 for GameStop Pro members) is a steal, especially as most Pokémon games rarely go on sale. If you need some last-minute gift ideas, these are great options.
