Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.3.2 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Just what we all wanted!

Game Freak didn't have to go this hard for the fans, but they really know how to deliver time and time again.

They… they’re never fixing this game. I’ve lost all hope, dlc will run like trash.

Gamefreak once again patching their unfinished game…😑😪😪

@Moonlessky : And the sheer audacity to charge AU$52.50 for it too!

I paid less than that for the DS/3DS games, all of which were complete standalone physical releases.

Is this update already made the game free from corrupted save data glitch?
What it looks like the corrupted save data glitch from your experience?
I don't want to see my Pokemon Violet save data suddenly got corrupted while being Auto-Saved. 😨

@Anti-Matter : I think if that problem were more widespread that we would have heard about it endlessly by now.

@Moonlessky I take it the game still runs pretty bad? 30fps I can live with. But if the FPS is still dropping and the game is running slow, it's not worth it. Sad...

Does it still run like crap?

Greatest game ever am I right?

Popcorn is hot and also salted.

@EaglyPurahfan I’m definitely going to be checking that out… im really upset over how excited I was for scarlet/violet only to be let down massively by the quality. It was playable but in the worst of ways. It’s not the quality we’ve come to expect which is why I’m so mad over it.

@Shade_Koopa It runs fine, people are crying over nothing.

With over 20 million sales at $60 per copy that’s over a billion dollars. No excuse for it to run so bad. Absolute disgrace Game Freak.

@bonjong23 I'm not even picky about this sort of thing, but whole heartedly yes

@Dazman Exactly. This isn't Call of Duty. Complaining about slow frame rate making it "unplayable" is just grasping for something to cry about.

To anyone asking, in some areas the game dips below 20 FPS and it chugs like hell.
There's a good game there but it's buried beneath of host of unfixed technical issues.

@Dazman "runs fine"? The frame rate is terrible and it drops a lot, the pop ins are awful, the textures are terrible, load times are slow, the background people move like Minecraft characters when they're more than 10ft away, but yes, it runs fine 🙄 GameFreak need to be making other games and Pokémon should be given to someone that actually cares about the franchise. Sword and Shield run better and that's older. There's no excuse for it to be as bad as it is.

That’s a shame it runs so bad but I’m so behind on Pokémon that a remake of this gen will probably be out by the time I get to it. lol

Gone to get my popcorn, this will be fun as usual.

@bonjong23 : I know you jest, but I strongly doubt that we'll see any remakes from the 3DS era and beyond. Even X&Y, which doesn't look quite as good as the Sun/Moon games, still looks fine for the most part when rendered in HD/UHD. Sure, the textures and such could use some sprucing up, but a complete remake seems... wasteful, unless TPCi were to give us a complete open-world overhaul or something like that.

I haven't played since last year and when I did it still runs like hot GARBAGE. Number one multi media franchise in history guys.

@Sisilly_G Wouldn't be the first time that a game that didn't need a full remake got one. Though I don't think Game Freak has the same remake philosophy as Naughty Dog.

@DiamondJim that's exactly the problem 20 millions of stupid gamer blindly bought this crappy game even with all the bad reviews because of the Pokémon name on it. So why would they bother making it work well they made their money and the Pokémon fans will again blindly buy the next Pokémon game.

Was planning on picking this up whenever the patches improved the experience, but looks like I never will at this point, such a shame. I've still got more Legends Arceus to play and never did the Crown Tundra DLC for Sword/Shield so not gagging for more Pokémon, they release this stuff frequently so maybe by the time the next game comes out I'll be done with the pre-Scarlet/Violet games

Serebii on June 18th/19th (depending on time zone): A new update has been announced to be coming to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet soon. This update will include some move description updates ahead of Regulation D starting which will correct an error on the moves Dire Claw, Ceaseless Edge and Stone Axe that state that they have increased Critical Hit ratios, when the moves do not have it. We don't have any further details on the update including any additional contents or details but we'll post them as they come so be sure to keep checking back.
So update fixed that as well! Aka this small update was planned even add in battle effect for old ability that had only outside battle effect while the ability exisist and didn't had in battle effect since 2002-11-21!
PS: looks like they didn't do planned description fix for: Dire Claw, Stone Axe, and Ceaseless Edge and it still says it have Higher Critical Chance when it doesn't have... What a fail...

@Shade_Koopa
Yes same here. I can live with 30fps but if a game looks like crap and then even drops under 30 fps its ridiculous. Just look at Xenoblade and Zelda, it looks sooo much better and normally those games run 30 (with sometimes rarely dipping)

@EaglyPurahfan

I agree with your point, but neither this or Monster Hunter Stores (which many mention as a Poke-like) are much like playing the Pokemon experience. I am not saying any of the Switch releases did either, but I think maybe some of the indie clones (Coromon, Temtem, Monster sanctuary, etc.) may be closer options. What ever happened to Yo Kai Watch? I have one on 3DS, unplayed) but isn't that a Poke-like, as well? Maybe Digimon?

@EaglyPurahfan

I know!!! I love the dqm games (even when they were called dwm in the states).

Can't wait to get a goldslime through breeding all over again

@EaglyPurahfan

Why to wait for dragon quest monster? There are better monster catching games than pokemon violet/scarlet right now.

I actually really like a lot of the gameplay and new mechanics, there are some great ideas that work really well. But the performance issues are truly abysmal, and even when running smoothly the visuals are downright primitive and even something of a downgrade from the 3ds games, and incredibly frustrating given this is literally THE MOST PROFITABLE IP IN THE WORLD. If i were game freak i'd be straight up embarrassed.

I normally think it's silly to complain about occasional framerate drops in a non-action game, but I've been keeping my mouth shut on this one lately. it's truly embarrassing.

I mean that's nice, but how about a patch that makes it playable?

What were the additional bug fixes?

@budwug I think people have to grasp to think about anything positive to say about the game besides a lot of the new Pokemon designs which are the only saving grace for the series anymore.

@Dazman lol

@Fizza It bares noting nothing with Illuminate is actually in the base game for SV so it’s only kinda-sorta post-launch.

@EaglyPurahfan Pokemon Sword & Shield was actually a polished and quality wise good game technically.
And with the 2 DLC it became one of my favorite and most played Pokemon games!

Scarlet & Violet are truly a complete disgrace to have launched in the state they were and now 8 months later they have made ZERO effort to even fix any of these problems!

Every single patch so far has been total barebones, only focus has been fixing exploits and tournament related fixes!

At this point Nintendo themselves cannot be trusted either anymore, as they promised after all the backlash in the media back in November that fixing performance in this game would be highest priority!
Yeah right! What a joke! An outright lie! /Facepalm

The fact Nintendo just keep on promoting the new DLC and try to sell it, is just a slap in the face!

This is the first main pokemon game I skip. I haven’t lost sleep or missed anything significant from the series after that. And 8 months later, no significant graphical or frame rate fixes have been made. They’ll get no money from me this time

@Jeronan
They never promised, they just said they were aware of it and it made it seem like they would sort something out.

But yes, at this point they would have been better to just say nothing.

Lets face it though, the Pokemon Company & "shooting themselves in the foot" has gone hand in hand on the Switch when it comes to mainline games.

@munstahunta
Except it wasn't getting bad reviews across the board and it isn't a crappy game, yes we all know and agree it could look better and definitely should perform better.
But your points are false and devaluing the Pokemon fandoms and spreading yet more negativity around it.

If you take away the performance issues, it is objectively one of the best mainline Pokemon games there ever has been.
So many people however are not seeing that because they only hear the negativity.
It is a shame they have to miss out, but equally it is also a big shame that GF seem to refuse to patch,.
Performance issues have never then meant the game is bad for me, an they never will, but I absolutely cannot defend it from a performance perspective, but I certainly can from a game perspective.

This point however is seemingly valid-
"So why would they bother making it work well they made their money and the Pokémon fans will again blindly buy the next Pokémon game."

Although I would say this; I have been a Pokemon fan from the start, I love the series, an they have far more good in the bank then bad, so yes, I will support the mainline entries.

@Rosona and by continuing to purchase broken games you give them reasons to release again broken games so stop asking for performance patches it will not happen . If the Pokémon Community boycotted the game and waited for the dev to make the game that the fans deserve they would care more for performance wich decrease playability. It's s even worse when you know that the switch can run Games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and that the Pokémon company have lots of money.

It's funny when people complain about people complaining.

@Dazman And someone's appears to be in denial.
