01Overview

Pokémon Shining Pearl is a remake of Pokémon Pearl Version for the Nintendo Switch system. The adventure takes place in the familiar Sinnoh region. Rich in nature and with mighty Mount Coronet at its heart, Sinnoh is a land of many myths passed down through the ages. You'll choose either Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup to be your first partner Pokémon and then set out to become the Champion of the Pokémon League. Along the way, you'll run into Team Galactic and be able to encounter the Legendary Pokémon Palkia. The original story and the scale of the towns and routes have been faithfully reproduced, with some player-friendly features of modern Pokémon games added. The Grand Underground is reached with the Explorer Kit. Players dig up Pokémon Fossils and treasure there, including statues for a Secret Base. Pokémon Hideaways hold Pokémon that live in different environments, and some can only be found there. The Grand Underground can be explored with other players locally or online. In Super Contest Shows, four performers and their partner Pokémon dance and show their skills. Players prepare Pokémon with Poffins and Capsule Decoration Stickers.
