Game Freak posts lists of Pokémon Pokopia bugs it will target in next update

On the official Japanese website for Pokémon Pokopia, developer Game Freak has issued a statement indicating it is aware of a number of bugs currently plaguing the game. While a patch isn’t available just yet, there are a handful of improvements planned for the immediate future with some other ones coming later down the line. It’s kind of odd to make an announcement out of the fact that you know bugs exist, but I guess modern gaming is like that now.

Anyway, since the website is being translated from Japanese, the following list might have some terminology that doesn’t apply to the English versions. Take the Pokémon Tangrowth, for instance, who’s Japanese name is Mojumbo. Some of the mission names might also be incorrect, but it shouldn’t be hard to figure out if you’re playing the game.

 

Here are the full “patch” notes for Pokopia’s upcoming fix:

 

Known Issues

• When requesting “Let’s build a home!” in “Pasapasa Koya Town,” Squirtle moves up a tree and cannot be spoken to, preventing the request from progressing.
• In the “Gloomy Seaside Town” request “Find a Pokémon Center!”, if you destroy the cracked blocks on the bridge before Mojambo crosses it, it will be difficult to progress with the request.
• When performing the “Find a Pokémon Center!” request in “Dusky Seaside Town,” if you follow certain steps, the event to repair the bridge in “Mojumbo” will not occur, and you will not be able to progress with the request.
• In “Rugged Mountain Town,” if you follow certain steps, the event where you encounter “Rotom” will no longer occur.
• When the request “Let’s clean up the roads!” in “Rugged Mountain Town” occurs under certain circumstances, it becomes difficult to progress with the request.
• The type of “Itomaru” in the Pokédex is incorrect.

Improvements Planned

• In the “Pasapasa Koya Town” request “Break the rocks with a Rock Smasher!”, if you place another block in the position of the cracked block near the “Crab Growl”, it will be difficult to understand how to proceed.
• In the “Dusty Seaside Town” request “Take the Professor with you!”, if you place another block in the position of the cracked block near “Snorlax”, it will be difficult to understand how to progress.
