Pokemon Verse in the Nintendo Switch Console Now
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are not backing down from releasing multiple games from its popular franchise now, especially with its popularity.
"Pokemon Brilliant Pearl and Shining Diamond" was already released last October, and it received a mixed review from fans and enthusiasts that knew the game before. It initially saw a Nintendo DS release that the public received well and praised for its massive changes that bring a 3D integration to Pokemon, not something that its remake enjoys.
On the other hand, gamers are now seeing the release of "Pokemon Legends: Arceus" or the prequel to the Pokemon saga decades before the first "Pokemon Red." The game focuses on the origins of the Pokedex and its upbringing in the world with creatures.
"Pokemon Sword and Shield" may be a release from three years ago, but it still presents a popular take on the game, especially with online International Challenges such as the ones coming in new months.
