SPOILERS! Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Data Dumps
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
Any info on the Version Exclusives? I expect it to be the same as the original DP, but I’m just curious if there was any adjustments.
Yes. Streaks are back.
For those wondering about multi-player, it has been shown for a while now on both the website and the box cover that it'll be a 1 player game.
By the way, GTS has been replaced with GWS (Global Wonder Station).

Is it too early to say that the only notable things those games brought back are Gliscor, Breloom, Manaphy, Infernape and Empoleon?
The learnsets seem to largely be... really lazy. Just copy/paste jobs with snapped moves hastily replaced. There's a few exceptions but some sets like Delcatty and Clamperl are just embarrassing to look at. Not adjusting stone evo learnsets to match mons that were in SwSh is just brutal. Curious to see what some of the new additions are but the loss of some things (like Jump Kick on Dodrio) make it kind of moot overall.
Bug Buzz and Nasty Plot have the only new learners, which as far as I can tell matches the old HOME leaks for their TRs 1:1
The ONLY usable Gen 8 moves are Body Press (Regigigas has it by level-up again, and Probopass has it too, awkwardly pasted on the end of its set lol) and Life Dew (learned by anything that got it in SwSh and nothing else).
NO
SNAP TRAP
CARNIVINE!

Do we know if we'll be able to transfer Pokémon from BDSP to Pokémon HOME and then bring them into SwSh ?
Since VGC will be in SwSh format, I'm wondering if it would be possible to have Pokémon which weren't available before in SwSh format (like Gliscor, Staraptor, Inferanape etc..). Would be kinda dope for ou 6v6 format not gonna lie..

Huh? We've known for a long time that you can trade & battle & meet up in the underground (& Contests, presumably)
The only information we have is that Home compatibility will come at some point in 2022 for both BDSP and L:A.
Whenever this compatibility will be one-way only or two-ways, we have no infos about.
(Spoilers, I'm quite confident it'll be a Let's Go case of one way only)
Home compatibility will be added some time in 2022 (same time as Legends Arceus gets Home compatibility).
SWSH compatibility has not been confirmed or deconfirmed yet, though i'd be a little surprised if there wasn't a complimentary update to go with it.
What’s gonna be make or break for me, I think, is whether the move relearner is like SwSh or heart scales again.

There's a new post game area* where you can get several of the legendary Pokémon using stuff you mine from the underground.
It was also just confirmed that out-of-dex Pokémon is available once you reach the underground, so at least we can have a shake up to our party during the game.
*At this time no one has been able to access it. A lot of people think it's locked to the day 1 patch, though I just think it's because almost no one that I've seen has bothered with the underground and just pushed through the main story instead.
I imagine it's just referring to main game. As in there's no co-op
Ramanas park, a post-game location, seems to be an area to get various legendary Pokemon, so some might be there like Deoxys.
jirachi & mew are save file bonuses for SWSH & Let's Go respectively.
Arceus apparently has no encounter data at all, however. There's "met at " text thats' something like "A pokemon From Sinnoh's distant past" so honestly I can see them doing an Arceus give away around L:A's release just so BDSP players can have an Arceus
? I know it’s like those, it’s just you can already get all those past legends in this gen
Definitely true but I think it's nice you can access the gen 1-4 legends here regardless.
These level-up movepools suck.
With TMs being back to single-use and the lack of important TM options like Wild Charge, Icicle Crash, Play Rough, the Elemental Punches and Fangs, and Seed Bomb, I don't envy whoever runs this vanilla with no trades.
My boy Shinx still out there eating cereal with water!!!

... you know, I totally forgot about Dynamax Adventures. Failing to beat Zygarde in single-player must have caused my brain to block that memory.
Changed TMs from Gen 4:
TM10: Hidden Power->Work Up
TM21: Frustration->Dazzling Gleam
TM27: Return->Low Sweep
TM43: Secret Power->Volt Switch
TM49: Snatch->Scald
TM62: Silver Wind->Bug Buzz
TM63: Embargo->Nasty Plot
TM78: Captivate->Snarl
TM83: Natural Gift->Bulldoze
All of the removed moves where moves that was disabled in SWSH (except Hidden Power, which is Unown exclusive now).

...to be fair Zygarde is one of the hardest of the encounters to beat even with players so... :P
Probably considering that BDSP wont have Home compatibility for a while, they wanted to still give a way to complete the pokedex before that.
A thoughtful addition, I guess.
Whoever asked for version exclusives...
