Posted on March 15, 2022 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl have both given a new update, and the two Switch RPGs are now at version 1.3.0.
We reported earlier today that players would have an opportunity to obtain Arceus as part of a tie-in with Pokemon Legends: Arceus after installing the patch. Nintendo confirms that this is now live, but in addition, a new network-trading feature has been added.
The full patch notes for the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl version 1.3.0 update are as follows:
- Added an event related to Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
- If a user on a Nintendo Switch system has save data from Pokémon Legends: Arceus that meets set requirements, that player can take part in a special event to meet the Mythical Pokémon Arceus when playing the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl games.
- Added a network-trading feature at GWS.
- It is now possible to trade Pokémon online at the GWS in Jubilife City.
- Note: A Nintendo Switch Online membership (paid service) is required to trade Pokémon online.
- Some issues have been fixed for more pleasant gameplay.
