A review as respectful as possible around a generation worthy of study, marked by truly ambitious decisions and creative inspirations. The intention of this essay is none other than to understand the role played by Pearl and Diamond in Pokémon, Nintendo and Game Freak. We are not going to speculate about that here.

We are sorry to say that we have no information about eventual remakes, reimagines or simply the return of these editions. If Red and Green, in 1996, spawned this phenomenon on the Game Boy, in 2006 it was Pearl and Diamond that consolidated the series for another few decades, due to aspects that we are going to comment on in this article. The historical importance of these deliveries is superlative especially since they charted the new path of what had been more than eleven years of concept.

In addition, September will mark the fifteenth anniversary of Pokémon Pearl and Diamond, the deliveries that kicked off not only the fourth generation, but also a way of understanding the saga from then on by integrating a second screen into the equation. The license that Game Freak started celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary on February 27 and, according to The Pokémon Company itself, it will be “very special”.
