Nintendo has announced Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shinning Pearl for the Nintendo Switch, which are Remakes of classic Pokémon games.
Ahead of the new Pokémon Presents, announcements for two new games were leaked. One of these was the long-rumored remakes of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Remake, while the other one was a brand new game from Game Freak that is also set in the Sinnoh Region but during the past and will attempt to create a new style of gameplay.
Nintendo has shared a trailer for this new Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Remake also confirming the starter Pokémon that will be available in it.
The three starter Pokémon are Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup. Here are some details on these Pokémon that were shared by Nintendo.
Turtwig

Made from soil, the shell on Turtwig’s back hardens when it drinks water. Turtwig lives along lakes, and the leaf on its head will wilt if the Pokemon is thirsty.
Chimchar

Piplup
