I wonder how much you have to play of LGPE to get it? Just have a save file, or is there a threshold of playtime you need?
these type of things are always just a save check
TIL Reflect Type has been a Level 1 move for Mew since Gen V.
"Oh Jirachi, hear my wish, please make BDSP worth getting..."
"Alright." *Jirachi adds itself to game*
Though if they were going to make any Mythicals normally available, you'd think they would make Darkrai and/or Shaymin catchable without events or something. I can't wait for Celebi to be the Breath of the Wild save bonus. What Mythical would Xenoblade Chronicles 2 get?

BDSP seems like a "filler" game to satisfy people who want Sinnoh remakes, so I don't think it will be updated. Not to mention, Legends is only releasing two months later, so I don't think anyone wants BDSP to take attention away from it. Maybe it will get minor updates if anything. I doubt we'll get another main game in 2022, so maybe Legends will get updates throughout the year and Gen IX will release in 2023.

Me, a genius: BDSP will almost certainly make one of the older mythicals available normally, but will it be Arceus, Shaymin, Darkrai, or Manaphy?
Nintendo: How about everyone's favourite Sinnoh mythical... Jirachi
inb4 Volkner does not add a single Electric-type on his team
XC2 would be Keldeo the Sword of Justice themself!
CTNC
Doesn't know how to attack
I'll blame you if that happens.
With Gym Rematches, I'd be surprised if the Elite Four didn't have rematches with Platinum teams. If they have them, everyone that wished for them should've asked for Platinum teams in the main game...
If anyone doesn't have Let's Go but know someone who has it on a cartridge, ask them you you can borrow it for 10 minutes.
*Looks at pfp*
Maybe I was the stupid one all along lmao.
That is the most likely scenario. SwSh itself had a save bonus.
Now that we know that we have Gym Leader rematches though, the question still stands as to whether the E4 and Cynthia have upgraded rematch levels/teams upon revisiting the League in BDSP.
FRLG, HGSS, ORAS, and even Let's Go all had them. It would be a shame if BDSP doesn't.

So Nintendo updated the Japanese page for the game with something interesting

If you google translate the first line...
Now considering how the games seem to have leaked in an iffy state (such as the bad music), good chance that a day 1 patch that massive is getting rid of placeholder music and the likes. Still, jesus that's a big patch!

Holy shit that is a gigantic patch (for comparisons sake, Isle of Armor for SwSh was like a gigabyte).

You can get Jirachi if you have SWSH save data.
You can get Mew if you have LGPE save data.

Forreal that's as much as some Switch titles
8GB will be required including the data. It is the total amount of data, not that it is 8 GB of patch data.
What does the placeholder music sound like? If it's the original DPP soundtrack I'm actually a big fan of how they handled that. I wish other titles like Link's Awakening remake pulled the approach of just slightly retuning the original soundtrack.
The moves are barely removed, a few(like Sky Drop) aren't fully coded, but most (including stuff like Hidden Power) are complete, they just have an arbitrary lockout put on them. With a simple Rom hack removing the locks on them makes them fully usable, but they lack animations so they crash the game unless you turn move animations off. One interesting thing is that Hidden Power becomes the Max move of it's HP type(so anything but Normal and Fairy), unlike Z moves where it has to use Normalium Z and is a normal type damage move.
Hmm we might need someone who knows Japanese to settle this then. Note that elsewhere on the page, it's mentioned that the game is 10 GB in size, so backtracking to 8 on the top would seem strange. But I don't exactly visit the Japanese eshop page often (only found this out because some Nintendo fan friends found this), so maybe there's something else going on.
I'm pretty sure it's literally the original midis directly imported. You can hear some if you find one of the leaker's videos/reuploads, seems to mostly just apply to the battle music so I'm hoping they imported the frontier brain one too.
It's actually growing on me to be honest.
Yeah the eShop page says BDSP are 10gb so that does sound like an 8gb patch…
Strictly speaking it's an estimate. If you look at the english space, for example it says "Required Space (Estimate) 10.0 GB"
It's possible the "true" size is about 8 (also possible the update helps CONDENSE some things with better file compression but thats neither here nor there).
if they seriously put out an 8 GB patch I've got serious questions about ILCA's data management
Nothing. Boot the game. You don't even need to watch the full intro.
Booting the game generates the save.
