A new Pokemon Legends Arceus update has now been released, version 1.02. Here are the official patch notes:
- Fixed an issue where, while offline, the screen could freeze after trying to pick up a lost satchel by throwing out a ball that contains a Pokémon.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes made it difficult to catch Cherrim.
- Fixed an issue where a certain event would not occur during a particular Mission, preventing the scenario from proceeding as intended.
- Fixed an issue where players could obtain certain Pokémon twice instead of once only as intended, prohibiting the player from obtaining other certain Pokémon. The relevant Pokémon will appear for players who were unable to catch those certain Pokémon due to this issue.
That’s quite a bit of fixes considering the game was just released, but, thankfully Nintendo and GameFreak were on top of it. Arceus is the fastest-selling game in the franchise’s history, selling 6.5 million copies in a single week since it launched. If this is any indication of the future, the Nintendo Switch has yet another hit on its hands. Pokemon is as big as it gets, but Nintendo still has Zelda and Splatoon in the pipeline this year, which will be massive sellers.
