The Pokemon Company revealed the download size for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as well as Pokemon Legends Arceus. This information comes though the Japanese eShop cards for the games, which surfaced online.
File sizes revealed
According to the cards, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl each have the same file size of 10 GB. For comparison, Pokemon Sword And Shield’s Japanese eshop cards listed the game for 10.3 GB at launch.
The eshop card for Pokemon Legends Arceus states that its file size is 7 GB.
Is it all true?
However, this conflicts with the game’s page on the eshop in other countries, which lists the game’s file size as 13GB.So currently it is unknown which of these numbers is the final file size for the game.
Keep in mind
Of course, game file sizes these days tend to change often with the release of patches and updates on launch day and after
About Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl
Journey to the Sinnoh region
Embark on an adventure through the Sinnoh region on Nintendo Switch!
Adventures in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl will take place in the Sinnoh region. Rich in nature and with towering Mount Coronet at its heart, Sinnoh is a land of many myths passed down through the ages. You’ll visit many different locations in the Sinnoh region, while striving to become the Champion of the Pokémon League.
The original story has been faithfully reproduced, and the sense of scale in the originals’ towns and routes has been carefully preserved. People who played Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl can revisit familiar places and relive familiar scenes once more. For those setting out through Sinnoh for the first time, plenty of new encounters and surprises await.
These remakes include easy-to-understand, player-friendly conveniences of the modern Pokémon series, plus up-close-and-personal Pokémon battle scenes.
About Pokemon Legends Arceus
Catch, survey and research wild Pokémon to create and complete the Sinnoh region’s first Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, coming to Nintendo Switch. Pokémon Legends: Arceus honours past Pokémon games’ core gameplay while infusing new action and RPG elements.
An adventure in the Sinnoh of days gone by
You’ll be brought to the Sinnoh region, the setting for Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl. But this story unfolds in a long-gone era, before ideas such as being a Pokémon Trainer or having a Pokémon League even existed. All around, you’ll find Pokémon living wild in harsh environments that make for a Sinnoh unlike the region you may remember from the days of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
Catch Pokémon
To catch Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you can observe them to learn their behaviour, then carefully sneak up, aim your Poké Ball and let fly! You can also have your ally Pokémon battle wild Pokémon that you hope to catch. Just throw the Poké Ball holding your ally Pokémon near a wild Pokémon, and you’ll seamlessly enter battle and command your Pokémon by choosing from moves it knows.
Meet your first Partner Pokémon
As you start off on your adventure to create the region’s first Pokédex, you’ll be able to choose Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as a partner. These three Pokémon arrived with a Pokémon Professor, who encountered them on research excursions to various regions.
