The Pokémon universe is abuzz with excitement as 2024 heralds a year brimming with promise for both seasoned trainers and eager newcomers. With recent game updates, a minor bug discovery, and enticing hints at what lies ahead, the anticipation for what's in store has reached a fever pitch.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet bug and its solution
Following the launch of the second DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, trainers quickly stumbled upon a minor bug related to the move Dragon Cheer. The unintended behaviour surfaced when a Pokémon used the move, was switched out, and then returned to battle with a lingering boosted Critical Hit rate.
Thankfully, The Pokémon Company (TPC) swiftly acknowledged the issue and has committed to rectifying it in the upcoming Version 3.0.1 patch update, expected to roll out later this month.
Serebii.net provided a detailed explanation of the bug, stating, "A new issue has been discovered with Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, specifically for the move Dragon Cheer. At present, after using the move if you switch the Pokémon out and the Pokémon comes back into battle, it'll still have the boosted Critical Hit rate, which is unintended behaviour."
Pokémon in 2024: What to expect?
The year 2024 holds significant promises for Pokémon fans worldwide. The horizon is painted with the excitement of new game announcements, anticipated launches, major tournaments, and continuous support for beloved ongoing games like Pokemon GO and Pokemon Masters EX.
Pokemon Day 2024, scheduled for February 27, is primed to be a monumental event for the franchise. It is poised to bring about a flurry of announcements, possibly unveiling remakes for regions like Johto and Unova or introducing entirely new titles to captivate trainers' imaginations. Speculation is also rife about the potential reveal of a sequel to the immensely popular Pokémon Legends: Arceus or a similar groundbreaking venture.
Adding to the excitement, the Pokémon World Championships 2024 are slated to take place in Honolulu, Hawaii. This grand event will showcase various competitive games from the Pokémon franchise, including VGC, TCG, and Pokémon GO tournaments. Additionally, fans can anticipate an array of in-game events, bonuses, and exclusive content releases throughout the year for titles like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Pokemon GO, Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon Unite, and Pokemon Masters EX.
As the year unfolds, the Pokémon universe is set to captivate enthusiasts with its offerings, from thrilling gameplay experiences to engaging tournaments and much-anticipated releases.
