The remakes feature updated graphics and gameplay enhancements while staying true to the core experience loved by millions of trainers worldwide. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are set to launch later this year.
The Pokémon Presents showcase also provided a glimpse into other upcoming Pokémon projects.
