Pokemon Diamond Pearl

Ahead of their upcoming release, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have now been rated in Australia.

Remakes of Nintendo DS hits Pokémon Diamond & Pearl and one of Nintendo Switch's biggest releases for this year's holiday season, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are set to launch on 19th November. The two titles will transport Pokémon fans back to the Sinnoh region along with Pokémon Legends: Arceus – a new style of Pokémon game that launches just a couple of months later.

The official Australian classification came in just yesterday, with the games being given an expected PG rating. Viewable here, the rating cites "mild violence and online interactivity" as the reasoning behind that classification.

It's been a while since we were last treated to any new information on the upcoming titles – in fact, the last time Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl hit the news was thanks to the Switch OLED trailer, which appeared to show some new and improved gameplay. Perhaps a Pokémon Presents showcase is in the works as we speak?

Are you looking forward to these upcoming Pokémon titles? Let us know if you'll be checking them out this November with a comment.
