Pokemon Home S 2 0 Update Has A Cool Easter Egg For Diamond And Pearl Players

Yesterday, Pokemon Home’s long-awaited 2.0 update was finally released, giving players the ability to import Pokemon from Pokemon Legends: Arceus, as well as Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The update also gives players the ability to move compatible Pokemon into those newer games. In fact, Serebii.net’s Joe Merrick has discovered a very cool Easter egg for players that import Pokemon from the original Diamond and Pearl to the 2021 remake. When players do so, they can get a certificate from Junichi Masuda when they meet him at the Grand Lake Hotel in Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl. The certificate notes that the “Trainer has shown unwavering friendship and unbreakable bonds” with that Pokemon.

Put in my Empoleon from my original Diamond & Pearl coverage playthrough back in 2006 and have the certificate to commemorate it being in BDSPMeant to get this yesterday but didn’t get round to it pic.twitter.com/e1fWqaSSkL
