Follow the rival in this latest episode from Pokémon Evolutions.
The first one to launch after the releases of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Pokémon Shining Pearl.
NintendObs Daily. Thursday, December 2.
Pokémon Evolutions part two begins today, with the release of episode 5 starring the currently celebrated Sinnoh region from a new perspective. As some of you are more than likely playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl right now, this time the adventure is seen from the lens of your rival Barry, from his humble beginnings with Piplup to his commending victories with Empoleon. It's funny because, usually in Pokémon games the rival picks the one Pokémon that has an advantage over the Pokémon you've picked — the Water-type Starter if you've chosen the Fire-type, for example — and this time around the selection is shown in reverse. Because Barry here is seen has having picked Piplup, the in-game protagonist starts his journey with Chimchar all the way to his Infernape dominating in the final showdown against Team Galactic.
