Pokémon Company International has released a new trailer to promote the November 19 release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl on the Nintendo Switch.

The trailer reintroduces the mysterious Team Galactic, the villains of the Sinnoh region.

Throughout the plot of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, players will face off against the team’s main commanders – Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, as well as Team Galactic’s boss, Cyrus.

The opponents in the Pokémon remake games are stronger than the average Galactic Grunt, making them more enjoyable than ever.

The trailer made fans go wild by featuring two of Sinnoh’s Gym Leaders: badass Candice of Snowpoint City and a never-before-seen smiling Volkner of Sunyshore City.

The legendary Pokémon guardians that sleep underneath the lakes of Lake Acuity, Lake Verity, and Lake Valor, also make an appearance in this teaser.

The trailer makes us want to change our ringtones because the Galactic Eterna Building, Lake, and Cyrus’ theme songs are absolute bangers. 

For Pokémon fans, November 19 cannot come fast enough!
