In a busy news day for the series, Game Freak is releasing update 1.2.0 for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, fixing several bugs and adding new features.
After a long day for the series, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet released the 1.2.0 update, adding some new features to the games. Today’s Pokemon Presents also saw its announcement Pokemon Scarlet and Violetit’s the first expansion, so it’s an exciting time for fans.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet faced a rough launch, with players complaining about the games graphics and performance at launch. Players are still finding new bugs Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, so updates since launch have yet to fully smooth out the experience for players. That didn’t stop gamers from flocking to the titles, as they quickly became some of the fastest selling POKEMON games of all time. With games continuing to sell at this rate, the POKEMON The franchise continues to show just how much of a force it is in the gaming industry, 27 years after it was first released.
The new patch has been on the radar in a busy day POKEMON news, but the news comes from Nintendo’s official website. The update, released today, mainly consists of bug fixes, however, it adds some new features to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Specifically, players can finally connect their games Pokemon Go, and players can now participate in Online Competitions and Friendly Matches in Battle Stadium. The update also adds a number of new features to Pokemon Boxes, making them much more useful in the game.
Updates on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will always be welcome, especially patches that add new features. With some players to compare Pokemon Scarlet and VioletWith PS1 graphics, games still have a long way to go to be what many expected them to be at launch. It would be easy for Game Freak to move on from the titles, knowing that the next release will still sell well regardless. But to the company’s credit, it seems committed to production Pokemon Scarlet and Violet the best games that can be made. Hopefully this level of support will continue after the release of their DLC expansions.
The POKEMON the franchise is in a really healthy place right now, with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet overwhelming sales figures for the series. However, The Pokemon Company will have to choose its next steps carefully to ensure it stays that way. With iconic protagonist Ash leaving the POKEMON anime, fans are understandably worried about who could take his place. And while Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Both sold well, the games arguably ate into the franchise’s goodwill in the gaming community. The next POKEMON The game will need to make some serious leaps forward for the franchise to ensure it remains relevant in the future.

Bug fixes
Tera Raid Battles
- A bug could prevent an opponent’s Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time as certain status conditions apply, causing the Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual way. This has been fixed.
- A bug that caused all Pokémon on your side to immediately pass out despite their HP gauges indicating they still have HP could happen in black crystal Tera Raid battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.
- A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any game input could occur if a Tera Pokémon performed certain actions while the player was selecting the target of its move. This has been fixed.
- Errors could occur when someone logging into a Tera Raid Battle saw a different Pokémon appear on their screen than what the host saw. This has been fixed.
- A bug could occur that caused players who participated in a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be taken to a Tera Raid Battle against a different Pokémon than the one they saw appear. This has been fixed.

Battles
- Type matches with fainted Pokémon will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
- Fixed a bug where a Terastallized Zoroark disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark using Check the target selection.
