Pokémon X & Y Update Version 1.1 Available in eShop Now

Those of you afraid of hitting that Lumiose City glitch will be pleased to know that a patch for Pokémon X and Y has gone live on the eShop now. This is for both retail and eShop versions of the game. The patch notes are as follows:

  • This update fixes a bug related to resuming your game after saving game data in Lumiose City.
  • It also improves the filtering feature within the Global Trade Station (GTS)

To update your game:

  1. If you have a physical copy of the game, have the game card inside the 3DS.
  2. Go to the home screen of your 3DS and select the eShop option (the shopping bag).
  3. You’ll be told you have updates for your game. On this screen, click “View List.”
  4. Select “Download” and finish the download process.

This patch will require 229 blocks on your SD card. There is a separate patch for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.

    Thanks for the heads up Firestorm.  Minor things that might need to be added to the article:
     
    1. You need X or Y in your system when going on the eShop.  This might be common knowledge to 3DS veterans, but the new guys (me) might not be aware.
    2. The update for Y is 229 blocks.  Not that it makes much of a difference
     
    At any rate, I’m excited that the game can be patched like this.  I don’t expect competitive rebalancing, but I imagine something like the Sky Drop glitch wouldn’t remain should something like that occur.

    Can anyone confirm what the GTS filter improvement is? I remember someone saying in a status message a while back they found some Pokemon that nobody knew about when searching or whatever, was that what was fixed?
     
    Bulbapedia says “As well as fixing the infamous Lumiose City glitch, this patch also fixes a minor GTS bug where using a filter may have resulted in an error message.” Can anyone who’s used the GTS before on X and Y (I sure haven’t) give any more details?

    Kinda nice they have the ability to patch games now.

  5. Firestorm says:

    I believe the GTS part of the update fixes crashes people were experiencing when using filters in the eShop version of the game.
     
    Thanks bears, clarifying those points in the article now.
