Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Patch Fixes NPC Trainers, Pokemon Home Transfers

Nintendo announced the latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet patch is live and fixes issues with both NPC trainers and Pokemon Home transfers. Both the main game and latest The Teal Mask DLC had issues preventing people with the game recording if you won certain battles. At the same time, there was a problem with certain sorts of Pokemon transfers, depending on the origin.

With the trainer situation, Nintendo noted two specific sorts of situations that could be problems. It brought up the Pokemon League representative and Ogre Clan members. With the fix, it means that the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet NPC trainers can be fought again once the update is applied.

As for the issue with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet transfers from Pokemon Home, that specifically involved Pokemon GO characters. Nintendo pinned down that people who were trying to get Pokemon caught in the mobile game transferred to the storage system weren’t then able to bring them over. It was noted to be a patch 1.3.2. Now those can be carried over to the Switch game.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch, and patch 2.0.2 is live. The Teal Mask DLC is also out now, and the Indigo Disk DLC is expected to release sometime in Winter 2023.
