What Does the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Day One Update Include?

If you have been eagerly anticipating the release of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you are probably aware that some lucky fans have already managed to get their hands on the games, revealing some previously unknown details on them.

The leaks have also revealed that the two remakes of the classic Nintendo DS entries in the series do seem to lack some of the features that have been included in modern Pokemon games.

Things, however, seem to have been improved by the day one update, which is now available one week before the official Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl release date. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

What Does the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Day One Update Include?

Now that the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl day one update is live, dedicated players have had the chance to take a good and long look at it. As CentroLeaks reports, the update has also been datamined, so we have a pretty good idea of what it adds to the two games.

The Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl day one update is around 3.5 GB big, and it adds a lot of communication and multiplayer features, as well as some videos and music files. The low-quality music featured in the leaked is a cause of concern, but it’s not yet clear if these new music files replace the 1.0’s tracks or if they are brand new ones.

The day one update also introduces some gameplay features that were missing in the 1.0 version of the games, such as new events that allow players to get Legendary and Mythical Pokemon, characters from past entries in the series that can be fought as challenges in the Battle Tower, and extra items like the Shiny Charm and another unspecified item that lets players use the sound effects of the original Nintendo DS versions.

What Are the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Official Day One Update Notes?

Official patch notes for the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl day one update notes are not available at the moment. We will add them here as soon as they are shared, which shouldn’t take long, considering the games are only one week away at the time of writing.
