FOLLOWING a number of technical issues, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will have their first major bug fixes from today (December 1).
Patch 1.1.0 is ready to roll out, and it will fix a number of the technical issues which have been hampering fans’ enjoyment of the latest Pokémon games.

The biggest fix will be to the E4 and Champion fights at the end of the Victory Road storyline.
Most players encountered a glitch that played the first three seconds of the battle music on repeat.
This was very annoying, as there are five long and difficult fights that were affected by the bug.
The first season of ranked matches will begin, allowing competitive players to test their skills.
This also means that the first season of the game’s meta will be introduced, where players decide what the strongest Pokémon and teams are.
The Pokémon Company has promised a number of other bug fixes, though it hasn’t elaborated on what these are yet.
Usually, the team focuses on bugs that allow players to cheat the game, such as the popular item duplication glitch.
The glitch that allows you to change the date and time will likely remain, as it is still in Pokémon Sword and Shield three years after launch.
