News About Day One Patch For Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Raises Concern Among Fans

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl aren't out for another week, but they're already getting patched.

Nintendo announced this morning that a fairly massive, 3 GB "1.1" patch for the pair of Sinnoh remakes that will add some additional features, such as local and online communication features in areas like the Grand Underground, Super Contest Show and Union Room, but that wasn't what caught social media's eye.

The patch includes the games' post-game content and stunningly, their opening and ending cutscenes.

Day-one patches are relatively commonplace in the video game industry, but the addition of such vital components of the game via a patch raised concerns among Pokémon fans who have had their trust shaken by the release state of some recent Pokémon games. The lack of an opening cutscene had also raised concern among players who were able to obtain leaks of the game.

There's still a week until Pokémon BDSP releases, but the fact that so much essential content needed to be patched in leaves one wondering what other problems the games may have.
