Pokémon Direct: a reliable leak anticipates today's announcements

As announced yesterday, today at 16:00 (), the long-awaited will be held Pokémon Direct, during which several announcements related to the Pokémon universe will be made. Although there are still several hours to go before the event starts, the user of reddit PraticalBrush12, which lately has guessed several news (including the announcements of the latest Nintendo Direct and the streaming of the Diablo series), has revealed in the last few hours which will be the games that will be shown on the virtual stage of the panel.

After many rumors, the highly anticipated should make their appearance at today's Pokémon Direct remake of Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Diamond, which should be called "Brilliant Diamond" and "Shining Pearl" respectively. Furthermore, these should not only take advantage of a new game engine, the Chibi 3D, but also present the same combat system as the Sword and Shield. The team that would be taking care of the makeover of the two titles would be IICA, And not Game Freak.

But that's not all, since the now well-known leaker would have revealed that a new Pokémon open world game, developed by Game Freak, set in the feudal region di Sinnoh and which should see the light on Nintendo Switch only in 2022. Furthermore, as can be seen from the leak spread on the well-known videogame forum, this new project should have an earlier timeline than the previous chapters released. We advise you to take this news with due precautions, since at the moment it is about simple leaks and there has been no official announcement from The Pokémon Company, or from the Japanese software house itself. We remind you that the Pokémon Direct today, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the famous Nintendo franchise, will start today at 16:00 ().
