Unless the official Pokémon Twitter is just flat-out lying to us, we will finally get long-awaited reveals on Pokémon Legends Arceus, as well as Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Now, obviously, the first thing that's on everybody's mind is: Will Arceus look better than the 1.24 FPS disaster that was the official trailer? Also, we'd like to know what Pokémon to expect in the game. We also want to see more gameplay and get an idea of just how much Gamefreaks copied Breath of the Wild for Arceus. As far as Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are concerned, they're copying the other Zelda game – Link's Awakening. We're not hating on that, we're loving it. It's a slick look for the Pokémon remaster we can't wait to play. Naturally, though, the Arceus reveal is the hotter topic, since we already know what we'll get with the remake of the classic games from 2006.
