Pokemon Legends Z-A Patch Fixes Critical Bugs, November Release Scheduled

The Pokemon Company has officially announced an upcoming patch for Pokemon Legends Z-A on Nintendo Switch, aiming to fix critical gameplay issues that have impacted some players since launch.

Pokemon Legends Z-A, released earlier this year exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, represents the latest evolution in the beloved franchise.

Developed and published by The Pokemon Company, the game builds on open-world exploration and innovative mechanics first introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, further advancing the series’ direction. According to a statement from The Pokemon Company, the patch is scheduled to be released in November and will address two major bugs.

The first issue affects players who enter their initial Mega Evolution battle with Absol while their Pokémon box is full and unopened.

In these circumstances, players become unable to catch any additional Pokémon after that event.

Furthermore, those who encounter this glitch subsequently cannot complete side missions that reward Pokémon, hindering progress for dedicated trainers.

The update will resolve this obstacle, ensuring all users can fully experience every side quest and catch opportunities. The second bug pertains to certain side missions requiring players to use a move on in-game objects within the overworld.

If a day-to-night transition occurs at the exact moment the move contacts its target, the action is not registered by the game system.

Once this glitch occurs, players cannot trigger the event again, rendering the side mission impossible to complete.

The forthcoming patch will address and prevent this scenario, in turn enhancing quest continuity for all affected users. The Pokemon Company emphasized its commitment to quality and player satisfaction, encouraging fans to stay tuned for further updates.

The team remains focused on delivering a seamless experience, especially given Pokemon Legends Z-A’s popularity on the Nintendo Switch and its strong sales performance on the Nintendo eShop. Players are encouraged to keep their games updated to the latest version to benefit from these important fixes.

As Pokemon Legends Z-A continues to attract both series veterans and newcomers alike, these forthcoming improvements reaffirm The Pokemon Company’s dedication to maintaining the high standards expected by the global Pokémon community.
