Shining Pearl/Brilliant Diamond, which are remakes of the 2006 DS games, are coming to Nintendo Switch in November as part of the 25th anniversary of the Pokemon series. Pokemon Legends: Arceus, meanwhile, is a new title that "honors past Pokemon games' core gameplay while infusing new action and RPG elements."

This game is set in the Sinnoh region, which is where Diamond and Pearl took place, but the story is set in a "long-gone era" before Pokemon Trainers existed. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is slated for release in January 2022 on Nintendo Switch.

We'll bring you all the news from the Pokemon Presents event on August 18 as it happens, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more.
