A countdown has begun to the release date of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pearl but no BD and SP incentives are included in this time period.
Many reviews have already been published, and they appear to all agree that the games are excellent. Dialga and Palkia fans must remember to complete the collection challenge in Niantic’s mobile game.
On November 21st, Niantic’s BD and SP event will be available, but on the Switch, it will be much sooner.
What time does Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl come out?
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are expected to be released on November 19th at approximately 00:00 ET and 00:00 GMT.
Switch exclusives are always released at 00:00 local time, even if they haven’t been confirmed by Nintendo. However, the game will also be available at 21:00 p.m. PT on November 18th.
Sword and Shield and Snap have the same number of hours in 2019 and this year, respectively.

Can you play Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl early?
You cannot play either Pokemon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl early.
Unfortunately, some people were able to get early access to retail copies of the game and this resulted in leaks appearing online. These leaks included everything from gameplay videos to a full look at the Pokedex.
Although the leaks were not ideal, the good news is that they were taken down by Nintendo. And now you will be able to start your own adventure with either Dialga or Palkia.
