Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.The improvements do now leave the actual battles in conspicuous need of a visual overhaul (something for the imminent 3DS to tackle, perhaps) but at least fans will have plenty to occupy their time until that happens.

The two main goals remain the same: the first is to fill your Pokedex with details of every creature you encounter the second is to battle through various rounds against your gym rivals, Team Plasma, and the Elite Four to become Pokemon League Champion.
