#Pokémon sv glitch

[shiny-carbink]

I mean yea it’s glitchy and jumpy and that’s a bit distracting.. but it hasn’t impacted the actual gameplay so far. I just hope they smooth it out a bit in later updates.

Hey, so, I just found out there's a new bug in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that can corrupt your save file? It hasn't happened to me yet (knock on wood), but I thought I'd share what little I've learned about it.

There are two error messages that may occur. Save Data Not Recognized (hereafter "NR") and Corrupted Data Was Found (hereafter "CD"). Of the two, NR is the more serious. There are apparently fixes for CD, but none yet for NR. The NR message is generated in the game itself, while the CD message is from the Switch.

It should be noted that NR appears to be a relatively rare issue, but it's always better to be prepared. The cause is still unknown. It does not appear to be linked to connecting to Pokémon Go or preordering the DLC. There is also at least one instance of somebody experiencing the issue before updating to Version 1.2.0.

If you experience the NR error, do not erase or overwrite your save data. It may still be recoverable. Contact Nintendo Support.

The CD error may be related to attempting the Walking Wake/Iron Leaves raids without updating to v1.2.0, or it might just be a thing that happens sometimes. But it is less serious and can be fixed.

If you experience the CD error, it can apparently be resolved by starting a new game on a second profile, saving, and then switching to your original profile. It may also be worthwhile to contact Nintendo Support in this instance as well. (I'd say do it even if this fix works for you. Let them know how broken this game is. Bemoan the fact that the "Official Nintendo Seal" used to actually mean something. But please be nice to the customer support agent; it's not their fault.)

You should also back up your entire SD card. Turn off your Switch, remove the microSD card, plug it into your computer, and copy all the files to your hard drive. (Update: This will not help with this issue as Pokémon does not save to the SD card, but it's still not a bad idea to back it up anyway.)

(Also, there is a megathread on r/PokemonScarletViolet. You should check there for more information because this is all I know about the issue, and I got most of my information from there.)

Update 2023-03-10 (copying my reblog here so it can be found in the main tags):

Serebii reports on Twitter that a new patch will be coming in late April that fixes the bad egg glitch from the 5 Star Paradox Raids. Hopefully, the save data glitches will receive a hotfix sooner than that, but it sounds like they're still not sure of the cause. However, Joe from Serebii has confirmed that TPCi/Nintendo are aware of the issue, and again, it is not linked to Pokémon Go or the DLC, but they're still not sure what the actual cause is. More details should be coming later, so check back on Serebii.net.

I would like to reiterate that this is a very rare issue. Of the 20 million+ copies sold, fewer than 100 people have experienced this issue. That's a fraction of a fraction of a percent. As u/madebypeppers on r/PokemonScarletViolet puts it, you have better odds of winning $1,000,000 from the Powerball.

LMAO, this Golurk used Gravity and some kinda glitch happened where our Meowscarada stayed squished and tiny for the whole rest of the Raid like that episode of Steven Universe where all the Gems get squished by the spaceship's gravity settings

.....My man, that’s the sun right there!

and spoilers in case the 5 tags weren't enough.

"Please, defeat me" / "At last, my dream is within reach..."

naturally i am even more obsessed with her and my new favourite bit of pokemon scarlet was when the ai copy of the dead milf professor's knowledge and memories (whose all-consuming obsession with her time travel research led to her untimely death) got overridden by the professor's defense protocols (the ai acc gets some common sense that her predecessor lacked, good for her...) and then her eyes went black and glowy and she tried to kill me. 🥰.

AAAAARVEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN

I don't think Aerugo wants to fight Iron Leaves, or at least doesn't want me to change his Tera to have a better chance.

I see Pokémon violet is working as intended

[phanpyuserollout]

I’m not saying there aren’t visual glitches, performance issues, or weird bugs in Scarlet/Violet and that Gamefreak should’ve had more time on it

But it’s REALLY obvious that half of y’all just pirated it and aren’t playing a legitimate copy because half of the “”glitches”” you guys are posting are not showing up on the Switch/physical versions and the game is playable (still some performance problems, but it’s playable)

Like, I understand trying out the game to see if you like it, but please understand that if you’re playing on your PC instead of a Switch it’s

1. not going to run the same as a Switch (duh. And because of how they’re built every PC is going to run it differently. Some may run it better than a Switch, but most will run it worse.)

2. that rom dumps (ESPECIALLY rom dumps from new games that haven’t been thoroughly tested on emulators) are not perfect copies and that they can and will have flaws not present in the official release

That’s why there are still OLDER GEN games that cannot run on a PC with emulators, but you don’t see people complaining about Bioshock or Ratchet and Clank being unplayable because their desktop can’t push the games past 10 fps

So if you’re complaining about Scarlet and Violet being unplayable, maybe mention the fact you’re playing a PIRATED COPY on your PC and don’t diss on the people who bought the game and are enjoying it

Love playing final fantasy vii

So it turns out if you try to go around collecting the ominous stakes before defeating all the gym leaders a second time, you’ll never be able to open the ruin shrines. Instead the game will just perceive the final lock on the door as unopened, and will respawn one of the stakes at random to keep it that way…

I HAVE BEEN REHUNTING THESE SAME FUCKING STAKES FOR WEEKS BECAUSE I WANTED TO USE ONE OF THE RUIN POKÉMON IN THE STUDENT TOURNAMENT.

I am upset.

Thank you.

OKAY UPDATE TURNS OUT!!!  THERE’S A VERY SERIOUS GLITCH INVOLVING THESE RUIN POKEMON!!!  

At first I thought it was a ‘beat the game’ trigger, but it’s somethin that’s been happening to A LOT of people! I followed up with several other reddit users who recomended talking to the shrine and resetting mid shrine dialogue.  This didn’t fix it for me, as the growl of the beast never triggered.  So what I did was reset in front of the shrine, mid shrine dialogue, and just went and hunted down “the last” ominous stake...  again.  This FINALLY triggered the growl, and I’m currently battling it as we speak, so I’m glad it worked out.  Just a heads up!

Flawless game. Can’t believe my Espeon turned into an olive.

SO

Scarlet and Violet are a little glitchy~

I experienced the worst lag and popping background effects and stuttering animation during the semi-cutscene in Nemona’s second fight when she Terastelizes and I didn’t record it
