Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the new Nintendo Switch remakes which launched last November, include a fan-favourite Easter egg from the original DS games.
The original Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS kickstarted a unique easter egg tradition for the series – diamond dust, special crystalline snow, would fall in the game’s Snowpoint City on certain dates like Leap Day or the day that marks the in-universe discovery of Mew (March 31st) – but the effect was originally discovered for Junichi Masuda’s birthday in 2008. The effect has carried through to every subsequent generation, and now in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl the effect has returned, as today – the 12th – is Masuda’s birthday, meaning the diamond dust is falling upon Snowpoint City yet again.
Head to Snowpoint City on January 12th and the snow that falls from the sky will be sparkly, like glittery confetti celebrating Masuda's existence. The diamond dust effect has been used sparingly since to celebrate other events, like Leap Day, New Year's Eve, and even the player's birthday.
Fans from around the world noticed the effect appear in-game within Snowpoint City as their Nintendo Switch console clocks ticked over to the 12th.
Last year, fans found another hidden secret in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that may point to something in the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
