Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Pokédex
Sinnoh on the Switch, remade by ILCA instead of Game Freak. The chibi art style is polarizing, but the gameplay is a close match to the DS originals. Cynthia got a serious buff with competitive items and smarter AI. If you played DP in 2007, this one hits different.

484Catchable in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
0My Dex · tap the circle to startThe Sinnoh list here is the 2007 one, 151 entries and none of Platinum's later additions. Behind it the National count reaches 493, and a single save reaches more of that on its own than the originals ever allowed, mostly through a postgame park full of borrowed legendaries. Trade with nobody and 146 of the 151 are still within reach on one cartridge.
Switch trading off and 146 is what remains. Five of the 151 drop away. Four are the old link evolutions, and the fifth is Manaphy, which has no wild home on either cart.

Sinnoh's Pokemon List Returns in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Plain wild catches make up 104 of the 151, a shade over two thirds. Another 35 arrive through evolution. The rest each print a method on the card: the three starters, the two version fossils, the five fixed legends, and Manaphy alone in the final slot. The list is ordered #001 Turtwig onward to #151 Manaphy.
