Pokémon Pokopia update: Nintendo addresses six confirmed issues
Nintendo has released an update to address six confirmed issues and two plans for improvement:
Confirmed issues
- During the Withered Wasteland request "Help make a home!", Squirtle moves to the top of a tree and cannot be spoken to, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request.
- During the Bleak Beach request "Find the Pokémon Center!", if you break the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crosses it, it becomes difficult to proceed with the quest.
- During the Bleak Beach request "Find the Pokémon Center!", if you perform actions in a certain order, Professor Tangrowth's bridge repair event will not trigger, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request.
- If you perform actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom will not trigger.
- If the Rocky Ridges request "Clear the Path!" is triggered under certain conditions, it becomes difficult to proceed with the request.
- Spinarak's type is listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.

Plans for improvement
Nintendo plans to implement improvements regarding the following:
- During the Withered Wasteland request "Rock Smash your way to treasure!", if you place another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it will make it hard to see how you should proceed.
- During the Bleak Beach request "To Snorlax", if you place another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Snorlax, it will make it hard to see how you should proceed.
The above fixes are planned to be pushed out in the near future, with a promise that any players affected by these issues will have them resolved by downloading the patch.
In the meantime, other issues will also continue to be investigated.
