First, we meet Candice, the gym leader of Snowpoint City. We get a glimpse of the snowball puzzle in her gym as well as her Ice-type Pokemon Abomasnow. Next up, the trailer shows Electric-type gym leader Volkner alongside his Luxray and the revolving platform puzzle in Sunyshore City gym.

In the trailer, we see both the overworld character models as well as the in-battle models for these two gym leaders that will be shown throughout Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Next up, we’re introduced to Team Galactic, the evil team of the Sinnoh region. The trailer highlights how they have caused trouble in various places, such as stealing Pokemon. We see the commanders Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter as well as the Team Galactic Boss, Cyrus.

Finally, the trailer ends with a tease for the legendary Pokemon that we’ll encounter in the game. Of course, if you’ve played the originals, this won’t be too much of a surprise to you, but the video describes them as “legendary Pokemon that slumber beneath Sinnoh’s lakes.”

This is where we will encounter the legendary Pokemon Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie, the lake guardians that represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower.
