Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Release 19th Nov 2021

I'm gonna hold out hope that the level curve isn't as downright stupid as the leaks are implying.

We already know all the relevant info to calculate the curve ourselves.

All battles use DP rosters and levels. (Naturally with new moves and other twists.)
The Exp. All functions exactly the same as it has been since Gen 6, but forced like SwSh.
The scaling exp. gains of Gen 5-onward are in, just like they were in SwSh.

In practice, we need to remember how OG DP's curve was like.

Reminder that Dialga used to fire Roar of Time from its Diamond chest or mouth in XY-SwSh. Someone DELIBERATELY chose that now it fires it from the forehead.

I find it strange that none of the leakers have shown the Underground or Amity Square yet

I wouldn't say so. Maybe for Amity Square, but the Grand Underground is (pun intended) the grand feature of these remakes. It would get him sued in no time for how much attention it'd get.

Wait... I know what happened.

Iirc, one of the attack parameters is which model bone/point you want it to shoot from.

In SwSh, it's probably the chest. The build up is near the center and because of Dialga's generic ranged attack animation, it looks like it's building up in front of the diamond and it's firing from the mouth.

In BDSP, someone probably looked at the anchor and changed it to the mouth without checking how it looked and now we got this mess.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that the level curve isn't too different from soloing the game with your starter (which I did back when I played the games for the first time).

I really wonder how complex the statue system of the Grand Underground will be. Hopefully less than the HGSS Safari Zone, even though I think it will use a similar system.

Something like X amount of large Water-type statues and Y amount of small Psychic-type will cause Slowpoke to appear in the Water area at a 5% rate.

Ramanas? This is bananas! WTF is this!?

 

[Chadlad50]

Huh. Is that something new?

 

[Missingno. Master]

Ramanas Park? I am intrigued.

 

[ScraftyIsTheBest]

I'm just wondering what Ramanas Park is even supposed to do LMAO

I've been wondering that since long before we knew of the name change. The map showed that Pal Park as we knew it looked to still be there, not only with the whole map in place, but complete with those little caves that were certainly not present in Gen 4.

Well at least the Battle Tower doesn't seem to be a carbon copy of SWSH Battle Tower, indicated by the "Master Class" formats, which implies it being more similar the the Super Singles/Double Trains of the BW Battle Subway

Also a quick Google of 'Ramanas' gives a Ramanas Rose, a type of Shrub

Everyone else: Ramanas?!

me: hee hoo tiny dialga following us

That was expected. Same deal as literally every other mon. Reduced to chibi size. When Onix showed up in the Grand Underground, the jig was up.

btw, Battle Tower Streaks are back. This is not SwSh's version of BT.

I mean i expected it, this isn't a complaint, it's just very cute seeing it in action

Looking that up on Wikipedia to see if we can use this as any sort of hint... apparently it's an invasive species. That... sounds strangely apt for Pal Park, considering its whole schtick was importing Pokémon from past games, many of which were not native to Sinnoh. But surely it can't serve a similar function in this day and age...?

I do hope rewards are not streak-based, though. Like in Sword and Shield.

VS. Seeker is now a Pokétch App.

 

[R_N]

vs seeker as a poketch app is actually kind of nice. It means you can keep it on screen all the time (if you want, i mean) and just tap into it

I think you could register it, but now you don't have to worry about that

*Looks at pfp*

A Rose!? Could this mean it's tied to the best villain of the series? Galar Park confirmed?

What's the point on complaining that the game is too easy, and at the same time clomplain that you can't click Earthquake/Stone Edge 5 times against an Elite 4 member because it doesn't have 5 fire-types?

That's an excellent point. Like, everyone's complaining about things being too easy, until a Gym Leader or Elite Four member dares to venture outside the realm of mono-type teams. Like... c'mon.

"What do you mean the game is easy!?" *brings out a party with the best Pokémon from the In-Game Tier list*
