Pokémon Legends Z-A Version 2.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

I'm surprised that they're doing a version 2.0.0 when there hasn't even been a version 1.1.0 for Legends Z-A yet. Sword and Shield never got a version 2.0.0, and ended at only 1.3.2. Legends Arceus ended at 1.1.1.

Eh, it doesn't really matter. Just something my analyzing brain noticed.

Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to this DLC when I do play the game, and I hope anyone else who plays it enjoys it too!

@Nep-Nep-Freak Nintendo can be odd about this sort of stuff. I remember Mario Golf going from 2.0 to 3.0 to 4.0 while other games go from 1.0.1 to 1.0.1.10 to 1.0.1.20

Is this really worth $30 though? How long is the additional story content. I beat game but usually never buy DLC

@JayJ @Nep-Nep-Freak
There are no real global rules as to what changes a version number so it is up to the company/team.

The most common way to version is by saying the first number is major update (big feature, compatibility breaking changes, etc), the second is for minor changes like smaller features that are likely to not even break compatibility with lesser versioned software. And then the third number is reserved for bug fixes.

Said that, the difference of what is considered a major or minor change is pretty much opinion of whoever is in charge.

They could also just make a main game that looks finished, before thinking about DLC

But if hundreds of thousands of people are going to buy your boring ugly game anyway, might as well scam them for another 30, I guess

Jumping on for just a second to check it out… hopefully I don’t stay up too late, lol. I’ll be up for work in just a few hours🤷🏻‍♂️

@PinderSchloss : Millions.

And while I'm keen on grabbing this eventually (hopefully a physical re-release with the DLC on the cart), this isn't a good look for the Pokémon brand. Being set in a single city would have been fine had they really honed in on those micro elements to really bring the city to life, but it just looks like a barren concrete jungle with almost nothing to do in it.

Legends Arceus did it better, with much more thought gone into its various environments/biomes, and they didn't hold the rest of the game hostage behind a $30 ransom either.

@Nep-Nep-Freak They usually increase to a major version with new DLC or with bigger updates (see Animal Crossing for example)

But yeah, it's mostly up to the developers how version numbers are handled.

Today, I will continue playing the base game. Have a great time, everyone!

@PinderSchloss do we really have to bring this up everytime

@beltmenot I think so. But also not. Everybody knows what @PinderSchloss says to be true. But everybody buys the games anyway. The Pokemon Company and Nintendo absolutely do not care about complaints without action. Money talks.

I hate the time limit we have exploring in the DLC.

So much for relaxing and casually exploring.

Fixes Applied:
Several issues have been fixed.

Nice, that description definitely deserved it's own header. Any person experiencing a particular issue with the game is now clearly informed whether the issue has been resolved or ignored.

@PinderSchloss its ugly yeah, but boring? NAaaaah

@SillyG this game was made years before we got it. It was delayed. The dlc was being worked on at that time.... fwiw as a business owner I still need to recoop development cost. Now given the budget it can be argued that they knew that they would make it back lol

@Gryffin but its only half true, the game isn't boring. Its the most fun I've had with a pokemon game. but it is ugly. Especially when you go into the museum and realize they only put effort in there.

@Vivianeat Totally agree. I hate this kind of time limit content with a passion.

It's fine if its optional content, like challenge runs for specific rewards or something. And it was ok with the Battle Royale, as if you ran out time due to night/Day shift, you can just sit on a bench and fast forward to night time and continue again.

But if this kind of time limit content is going to be the core of the entire DLC, that would be deeply disappointing.

No Bank support yet?

@PinderSchloss The game is finished this is just an optional extra.

@PinderSchloss
first time seeing a Pokémon game release? its been this way 1996 when they released the Japanese blue version. welcome to the nightmare, enjoy your stay.

@DennisReynolds A finished game doesn't have NPC's that look like they're on tranq

Where's the Mega Dimensions review? Been waiting to read that before purchasing the DLC.

@PinderSchloss Yawn. You think the DLC will "fix" that or something?
