In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, players can make them alongside Pokemon ala Sword and Shield's curry-making minigame.

Poffins are made from berries and used to bolster a Pokemon's Contest stats. A tweet by the official Pokemon account says a photo and video mode will be available to make memories with one's Pokemon as they play, and now there is a Poffin maker in the park. Trainers can still interact with their Pokemon in Amity Square, but there's more added too. Luckily, visiting Amity Square for the first time unlocks permanent Pokemon following for other towns and routes in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, so it can be excused as a quirk of Hearthome City's legislation. In hindsight the original restriction feels like a test for the full-on following mechanic introduced in Diamond and Pearl's successors HeartGold and SoulSilver, so retaining that here is disappointing.

With this, it seems obvious for ILCA to go a step further and let players have fun with their real-world friends too. However, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are adding more to this area, including the ability to let a full team of Pokemon wander the park.

There are items to collect like the Amulet Coin, and trainers can receive berries or Contest accessories from their followers. In the original Diamond and Pearl (as well as Platinum version), Amity Square is a small park in the far end of Hearthome City that lets players wander freely with a select few 'cute' Pokemon, including starters and obvious choices such as Pikachu or Skitty. The surprise trailer dropped on September 28 focused on a few aspects of the remakes, including Amity Square. However, as more trailers release for the games, it has become increasingly apparent that the Pokemon Home developer is adding a lot of its own spins on Diamond and Pearl.

ILCA's Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have been billed as faithful to the DS titles, especially compared to prior Pokemon remakes such as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
