There's still more work to be doneA few weeks ago, The Pokemon Company teased a new patch for Scarlet & Violet (https://www.destructoid.com/a-huge-update-is-coming-for-pokemon-scarlet-violet-this-month/), which was slated for "the end of February." Well now that date has come and gone, and the full patch notes are now live on Nintendo's official site (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v120). Let's run through a few of the alterations to the previous patch notes.
Performance is still rough, but you can buy the DLC nowOne obvious addition to the patch notes in this final pass is the existence of DLC. While that was kept under lock and key before the Pokemon Day presentation (https://www.destructoid.com/everything-that-happened-at-february-2023s-pokemon-presents-stream/), the cat is out of the bag now, and we know that there are two DLC expansions (parts 1 and 2) slated for release in the fall and winter of 2023.
To that end, the patch added the ability to buy them in-game, and unlock specific bonuses immediately (https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-scarlet-violet-dlc-reveal-trailer-fall-winter-2023/).
The Battle Stadium is open for businessThe "Paldea Prologue" competition is underway, as we move further into 2023 and eventually end up at the 2023 Pokemon World Championship in Japan. This addition is only going to impact a small percentage of the fanbase, but it's worth mentioning nontheless.
"Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue."
Pokemon Go connectivity is a goIn another surprise announcement, Pokemon Go support (https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-go-support-connectivity-pokemon-scarlet-violet-direct/) is live now in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
This support goes both ways, as you can get Vivillon variants in the core games, and a Roaming Form Gimmighoul in Go. Home support is still thankfully slated for "early 2023," and there are no delays to worry about as of this week.
The full February 27, 2023 Version 1.2.0 patch notes (link (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v120)) [Note: Everything in the "newly added features" heading was added recently]Thank you for playing the Pok?mon series.
On Monday, February 27, we released the version 1.2.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pok?mon Scarlet and Pok?mon Violet.
With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pok?mon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience.
Newly Added Features
The Nintendo eShop page for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the Pok?mon Scarlet game or the Pok?mon Violet game can now be accessed via the main menu. For more details on The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, please visit The Pok?mon Company.
Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue.
Players can now connect their games to Pok?mon GO.
Feature Adjustments
Additional functionality has been added for Pok?mon Boxes:
From a Pok?mon?s summary, players can now change Pok?mon?s nicknames, markings, held items, and mark- or Ribbon-related titles, as well as reorder moves, have Pok?mon remember or forget moves, and use TMs.
Players can also now swap out held items by pressing the Y Button when in the Held Items view.
Players are now able to select All Boxes while moving Pok?mon or items in the Party and Boxes view and Held Items view.
When in the Battle Team view, Pok?mon in your Boxes that are assigned to a Battle Team will now have their icons displayed in a darker hue if those Pok?mon are members of the Battle Team that is currently being displayed.
The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Pok? Portal.
Bug FixesTera Raid Battles
A bug could prevent an opposing Tera Pok?mon?s HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time that certain status conditions are applied, causing the Tera Pok?mon?s HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual manner. This has been fixed.
A bug that caused all Pok?mon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP could occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pok?mon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.
A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any input into the game could occur if a Tera Pok?mon took certain actions while the player was choosing the target of their move. This has been fixed.
Errors could occur when someone connecting to a Tera Raid Battle saw a different Pok?mon displayed on their screen than what the host saw. This has been fixed.
A bug could occur that caused players joining a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be brought to a Tera Raid Battle against a Pok?mon different from the one they saw displayed. This has been fixed.
A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.
Battles
Type matchups against Pok?mon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
We have fixed a bug in which a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pok?mon via its Illusion Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark by using the Check Target option.
We have fixed a bug in which the type matchups of moves targeting a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pok?mon via its Illusion Ability would display based on the type of the Pok?mon that Zoroark was disguised as, rather than Zoroark?s Tera Type.
We have fixed a bug in which the stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth increased when Dondozo used Order Up when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect).
We have fixed a bug in which the effects of Destiny Bond failed to activate if a Pok?mon Terastallized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.
allizes after using Destiny Bond and then faints, the effects of Destiny Bond will fail to activate. This is a bug and will be fixed.
Other
We have addressed an issue that made the game prone to forcibly closing at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be fewer Pok?mon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild.
We have fixed a bug in which a Pok?mon that is not a part of the Paldea Pok?dex was displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pok?dex after being obtained through a Link Trade.
Certain actions prevented the main character?s expressions from changing until the game was closed and reopened. This has been fixed.
A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season?s results had been calculated caused an error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been fixed.
We have fixed a bug in which a player may not have received the Master Rank Ribbon if they had registered several Battle Teams but had not used the Battle Team in the first slot when winning Ranked Battles in the Master Ball Tier.
We have fixed a bug in which a Pok?mon you caught may not have listened to your commands in accordance with what is written in the profile app (?Pok?mon caught at Lv. XX or below will listen to your commands?) if that Pok?mon was Link Traded back to you from another player.
We have fixed a bug in which new information may not have been added to your Pok?dex after you received a Shiny Pok?mon or a Pok?mon caught by a Trainer who plays in a different language via Surprise Trade if you already had that species registered to your Pok?dex.
Objects such as Pok? Balls could have been displayed in certain areas unintentionally. This has been fixed.
Passersby are no longer displayed during certain battles that take place in towns during the main story.
A number of other bug fixes have been implemented.
