Pokémon Champions launched yesterday in a… less-than-perfect state. Happily, it seems like The Pokémon Firm is engaged on a repair.
Even when we put apart the restricted obtainable Pokémon and Gadgets at launch, the sport was shortly criticised for the sheer variety of bugs on show (and no, we’re not speaking about Beedrill and Pinsir). Followers had been fast to level out Gadgets getting used incorrectly, transfer animation glitches, well being quirks, and extra. In brief, the launch state was removed from the go-to aggressive battler we had been promised.
Now, in a brand new weblog put up on Pokémon’s Japanese information web site, the devs have flagged that they are conscious of a lot of points and are engaged on a repair.
Whereas a particular launch date for this patch hasn’t been given for the time being, the weblog put up states that the next points shall be focused:
- Leech Seed’s incorrect description
- Challenge with flip order when two Pokémon Mega Evolve without delay
- The gender of choose Pokémon within the tutorial
- ‘Lightning Rod’ not activating whereas in ‘Encore’ state
- Points with deciding on a transfer whereas the small print menu is open and the cursor is hovering over ‘Mega Evolution’
It is not all doom and gloom, thoughts you. The weblog put up confirms that the workforce has already mounted an error with Pokémon HOME transfers, in order that’s… one thing.
We have now to think about that these fixes shall be carried out by the point the aggressive scene absolutely switches over to Champions within the coming weeks. Both method, it’s going to be attention-grabbing to see what the primary regional competitions are like when the whole lot appears so restricted at launch.
We’ll have our full ideas on Pokémon Champions with you quickly sufficient, so control the tall grass!
