It looks like copies of 𒊎168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have made their way out to the wild - a full two weeks before launch. Apparent footage from the game is circulating online, so watch out for spoilers if you're planning on picking it up yourself.
Early this morning, some fans across social media reported that they received their physical copies of the game early. These claims are being made across multiple sites today, suggesting that at least one retailer out there has broken the game's street date.
I🔜f the images shared are legitimate, this will be a blow for The Pokemon Company, as this runs the risk of new story elements being leaked well before launch. It also increases the risk of pirated copies of the game being distributed before the game actually releases legitimately.
It's not immediately clear which retailer started distributing copies of the game so early. Of course, it's not unheard of for this to happen - in the past, preorders have turned up to players' homes a day or two before the actual release date - however, it's rare for it to happen this far away from launch.
Nintendo is yet to respond to the apparent leak, so it's unknown whether or not the company will push the actual release date forward in a bid to combat potential piracy. If Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are indeed coming with additional story content, then it's advised that you browse Pokemon fan communities with care.
Nintendo hasn't had a whole lot of luck in this department lately. Maꦉrio Par💛ty Superstars also found its way online a week early, but this time in an actual playable form via PC emulation. It doesn't look like that's the case with Pokemon just yet, as it's more so a case of fans who always intended to play the game legitimately simply receiving their copies much earlier than they expected.
Pokemon B🎶rilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are set to actually release November 19, exclusive for Nintendo Switch.
