The Sinnoh Region is a big place that’s packed with Pokemon — once again, you’ll find 151 to catch and battle with. Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl takes us back to the simpler days of Generation IV. Most of the evolution methods are the same, but there are some that have changed since the original release. The remake has both evolutions styles for certain Pokemon — you can evolve them the old way and the new way. If you’re looking for a refresher course on Gen IV Pokemon, we’ve got a full list of all the Sinnoh Region evolutions below.
