The new age of the EXP Share is one of the biggest mechanical boogeymen in the Pokemon fanbase nowadays. In 2019, Pokemon Sword and Shield's game director revealed that experience sharing would be active permanently. The EXP Share is a very useful item, distributing experience points to a player's entire team of Pokemon, rather than only the Pokemon who get involved in the battle. Many fans disliked the permanent change to the item, but nevertheless, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will have a permanent EXP Share as well. It seems that the Diamond and Pearl remakes don't plan to deviate from Sword and Shield's Generation 8 conventions.
A permanent EXP Share system in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl says as much about Pokemon's Generation 9 as it does about Generation 8. If this is the direction that the Pokemon franchise is going in today, then fans have to accept that the next big Pokemon game will probably also have permanent EXP Share, rather than suddenly going back on the new trend. Comments explaining the changes made to the item suggest that Pokemon's developers think that a permanent EXP Share is the most efficient and welcoming approach to the item. That means it'll certainly play a role in the next Pokemon generation for simplicity's sake.
