In case you missed it, Pokémon Pokopia received a new update yesterday that fixes several progression-halting bugs. Now, rebuilding the world and befriending new Pokémon should be a lot easier.
Update Ver. 1.0.2 is now live and fixes several issues hampering progress for certain quests. Some of these bugs were triggered via very specific actions, like placing the different blocks in certain spots during a quest. Other issues saw Pokémon positioning themselves in spots that make them impossible to interact with.
Here is the full list of patch notes, per Nintendo:
- During the request “Rock Smash your way to treasure!” in Withered Wasteland, if the player places other blocks over the cracked blocks near Hitmonchan, it becomes difficult to understand how to progress the request.
- During the request “To Snorlax!” in Bleak Beach, if the player places other blocks over the cracked blocks near Snorlax, it becomes difficult to understand how to progress the request.
Additionally, the following issues have been fixed.
If these issues have already occurred in your game, applying this update will resolve them.
- During the request “Help make a home!” in Withered Wasteland, Squirtle may move on top of a tree and become impossible to talk to, preventing progress.
- During the request “Find the Pokémon Center!” in Bleak Beach, if the cracked blocks on the bridge are broken before Professor Tangrowth crosses the bridge, it will become difficult to make progress on the request.
- During the request “Find the Pokémon Center!” in Bleak Beach, a specific sequence of actions may prevent Professor Tangrowth’s bridge repair request from triggering, preventing progress.
- In Rocky Ridges, a specific sequence of actions may prevent the event in which the player meets Rotom from occurring.
- During the request “Clear off the path!” in Rocky Ridges, if the request is triggered under certain conditions, it will become difficult to make progress on the request.
- Spinarak’s type is listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.
