Ramanas Park Pokemon BDSP Version Exclusives
In the original Diamond and Pearl Pokemon games, one of the biggest highlights was Pal Park. This could only unlock after finishing the game. It let players insert a Gameboy Advance Cartridge into the original Nintendo DS. From here, Pokemon from previous generations could be imported into Diamond or Pearl.
This feature does obviously not transfer to the Switch. Instead, the brand new Ramanas Park takes its place. It will contain a number of legendary Pokemon which are available to catch. You do this by activating slates in and around the area. This will become available after you have defeated the Elite Four and finished the Pokemon Diamond or Pearl main story.
The Ramanas Park exclusive Pokemon for Brilliant Diamond are Ho-oh, Raikou, Entei and Suicune. Shining Pearl offers up Lugia, Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno. You should decide which of these would rather catch, to help you choose the right game before buying.
