Two legendary Pokemon are coming to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Darkrai will be given away through a Mystery Gift event, starting April 1 and lasting until the end of the month, on April 30th. By going online and partaking in the event, you'll be able to obtain the Member Card that'll let you battle Darkrai, after having beaten the Elite 4. Meanwhile, Arceus will be available to players that have the National Pokedex unlocked and also have Pokemon Legends: Arceus save data on their console. You'll be given the Azure Flute, which you can take to Spear Pillar, much like the unused event item in the original Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games. In order to get Arceus though, you'll need to update your game to the recently released 1.3.0 update.

I'm tempted to soft reset, but I have the shiny Arceus from ORAS.

Shiny reset in this game is extra annoying. There is a black screen on startup that take a while.

Shamin (it is available and huntable) reapers when you flee, zone out and zone in. Much better.

I don't have bd nor sp
Anyone recomands me to get one?

I recommend emulation. That way you have easy access to tons of QOL mods and features, such as:

Enhancing the graphics so it doesn't look like shit (click images to view full size, og on top, 2x resolution on bottom, looks even better at 3x and beyond)

60fps!!!
Remove fog and ambient occlusion
Skip 60-frame (1 second!) pause between selecting a move and the pokemon actually performing it
Go crazy and speed up the game speed to make battles and breeding even faster, if you're into that
Access clothes from the PC
Following pokemon fixes
Accurate pokemon sizes
Sigma Platinum (basically makes the game as similar to Platinum as possible with current modding capabilities, such as encounter rates, CPU teams, etc.)
Easy access to PKHeX, whether you want to hack pokemon in, or just change your name/gender, import legitimate event pokemon without needing to own other games (including the items for this very event!), etc.
...and more!

Thx, but for some reason, i'm just unable to run it on emulator
Yuzu freezes on first loading screen, the game keeps playing, like sounds and interactions, but graphics are stuck on loading screen
And ryujinx is missing many models, like pokemon and characters

 

[Plazorn]

If I remember correctly, they were already available through glitches, am I right?

Try updating yuzu. Works perfectly fine for me since day 1. Also try changing the fullscreen mode, maybe your pc doesn't like the current setting it's on.

I have an iGPU, maybe that's why
Intel UHD 530 I think, it's powerful (for an iGPU I mean) but maybe unsupported by emulators
Trust me, I updated many many times over the days following PLA's release
It never got fixed, either on PLA or BDSP

I think it depends on the emulator. Some are very CPU intensive, others utilize the GPU quite a bit

Well, i have an i7 11700k
Is that enough?

 

[sley]

I'm almost positive a majority of the Pokemon fans that bought BDSP also got the superior game Legends

They are very different, I welcomed the new mechanics but the game was very barebones and I dropped it after seeing how boring the first "boss" was.

Should be, but I don't know how GPU dependent the Switch emulators are.

Shaymin yes, Darkrai not as far as I'm aware. Arceus didn't have an event present in the game at all until 1.3.0

The game is more interesting than any of the prior games. After playing Legends I don't know if I can switch back to classic formula

I've had a good experience with Ryujinx when I wanted to trade with emulator users, just takes a while to start up.
