Pokémon Pokopia has had a very successful launch, and Nintendo is responding to some minor problems with promised updates.

No game is without flaws, but we’re hoping these improvements will make Pokopia even more enjoyable than it is now.

So, what exactly is set to change with this Pokopia update? Here’s everything you need to know.

Pokémon Pokopia update: Nintendo promises to address six confirmed issues

Nintendo recently announced an update on its website, explaining that they’re fixing six known problems and making two improvements.

Confirmed Issues

  • During the Withered Wasteland request “Help make a home!”, Squirtle moves to the top of a tree and cannot be spoken to, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request.
  • During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, if you break the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crosses it, it becomes difficult to proceed with the quest.
  • During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, if you perform actions in a certain order, Professor Tangrowth’s bridge repair event will not trigger, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request.
  • If you perform actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom will not trigger.
  • If the Rocky Ridges request “Clear the Path!” is triggered under certain conditions, it becomes difficult to proceed with the request.
  • Spinarak’s type is listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.

Plans for Improvement

Nintendo plans to implement improvements regarding the following:

  • During the Withered Wasteland request “Rock Smash your way to treasure!”, if you place another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it will make it hard to see how you should proceed.
  • During the Bleak Beach request “To Snorlax”, if you place another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Snorlax, it will make it hard to see how you should proceed.

We’re planning to release these fixes soon. Once the update is available, players experiencing these problems should find they’re resolved by downloading it.

In the meantime, other issues will also continue to be investigated.
