Pokemon D/P Questions

[Skeet1983]

Hi guys. I am thinking about getting Pokemon Diamond or Pearl for Switch, but have a few questions before proceeding:

- What is the required Firmware version for D/P? My hackable Switch is on 12.1.0
- Does Pkhex/Pkgen work with D/P?

Thoughts and help appreciated

Base game is 12.1.0 I believe, with update I believe should be latest firmware which CFW support. Pkhex work.

Hi guys! I got Pkmn Pearl (for Switch) and was able to use PkHex with it!

Anyway, I have a few questions about PkHex and Pkmn Pearl:

- Is there a list of what all Pokemon can be in Pearl?
- Can Arceus be put in Pearl, as well as the Plates that allow Him/It to change Pokemon Type?

Further thoughts and help appreciated

You can check serebii for a version exclusive list, Arceus isn't in the game without hacking.

Bulbapedia has a list of Pokemon available. And while Arceus is coded into the game, it cannot be obtained legitimately at the moment.
