Download Your X&Y Patch 1.2 Now!

A new patch has just (well, ‘just’) gone live, fixing several things for Pokémon X and Y. You can download it on the eShop now and it is required if you want to do online. The change log is as follows:

Patch 1.2

  • Fixes an occasional bug causing Pokémon not to learn new moves after evolving through Wonder Trade.
  • Fixes an occasional bug where certain captions for Trainer PR Videos were not unlocked in Lumiose City.
  • Updates an Internet communication issue.

What Internet communication issue are they talking about? Well, it fixes the data snooping, essentially killing both Battle Analyser and Instacheck. If you didn’t know about them, Battle Analyser allowed you to see your opponents move sets and even the move they selected that turn before you selected yours. Instacheck allowed you to see the Shiny Values of your Pokémon, essentially making you put some effort into shiny hunting again. So for all those cheaters out there: too bad!

It’s currently unknown if the update will stand the test of time but we know for sure Gamefreak is doing all they can to ban ‘illegitimate’ practices. Now we only have to wait for the patch that fixes the barren endgame.

  1. so using instacheck is considered cheating, n the eyes of gamefreak its not suppose to be use guess that stops the argument of its legitimacy, i was kinda annoyed by it anyway everybody asking me to help them hatch eggs but not one person could help me hatch one. ans for the wonder trade patch about time as i keep getting pokemon (mostly gourgeist) that learns a move as it evolves through trade then the move dissapears when i look for it in the summary

  2. Good! I’m glad they fixed up those issues. Hopefully they have patches/downloads soon that have some bonus content. More clothes or something would be nice. Maybe a downloadable Christmas sweater. 😛

  3. Afternoon Pokejungle, only one week for me left until 2 weeks Christmas holiday, can’t wait
    But this patch, interesting, wonder what the boards of Pokemon will come up next to ‘mess with the game’

  4. When Bank comes out, a lot of people will complete their national dexes. They will likely receive shiny charms, akin to black and white 2 games. Combined with the already boosted shiny encounter rate and the friend safari, it’s safe to say that shines will become a much more frequent sight.

    • In anticipation of its release in two weeks, The Pokémon Company has issued an overview trailer for the upcoming release, Pokémon Bank. It confirms that you can transfer entire boxes immediately within the Poké Transporter system that comes with it and that Pokémon Bank has advanced search filter systems akin to the ones in the boxes on Pokémon X & Y

      You can also choose Battle Points to be earned rather than PokéMiles in Pokémon Bank when you deposit Pokémon

      If your annual Bank fee ends, you can still withdraw your Pokémon for a short time, but will be lost afterwards forever. The period of time has yet to be announced.

      Pokémon Bank ignores the 3DS’s region lock so all games can be read and used for depositing/withdrawing Pokémon so if you have a US game, you can put it on a Japanese 3DS with Pokémon Bank installed and put Pokémon on there

  5. Does Chansey have a higher chance of passing down Serene Grace instead of Natural Cure? I’ve bred 28 straight Chansey now, all with Serene Grace. Starting to get annoyed.

  6. I have a confession to make. I’ve never gotten past gloom manor (I think that’s what its called) in super paper Mario because…………………….IM SCARED OF MIMI!

  7. So odd for them to use Bridgette of all people from a game that’s a decade old. In fact, it’d make sense to use Amanita since she was the PC Storage Box creator/regulator of Unova/the gens that will most likely be used as a bridge for transferring to X/Y.

    So if anything, this might be a good confirmation for Hoenn remakes. Know its been discussed over and over again but it has me so excited.

  8. After I saw the PokeBank & PokeTransfer trailer, I decided to organize my Boxes in White 2. Then a thought hit me.

    For those of you with N’s Pokemon, do you think that’ll trigger anything?

    Reply
  9. So excited about pokemon bank….almost feels like another game is coming out this December and that the X/Y journey will only continue xD

    Reply
  10. Wow it is kind of saddening seeing the transfer is almost back, i like seeing everyone using non hacked legit pokemon. I will also like seeing the unique pokemon.. I guess i will have my old pokemon back…
    Also another sad / fact thing is my oldest pokemon that i have is my blaziken from emerald, I choose sceptile first, but then after a long while i resetted and chose Blaziken, If i knew sinnoh would have a transfer system i would of kept my sceptile my long lost favorite buddy of hoenn…

    So here is Wurmple QUESTION TIME, What is your oldest pokemon and how old is it?

    Reply
          • Lol it is okay my Sceptile is my favorite pokemon of Hoenn… but hey what are you going to do… My very first pokemon was Squirtle… but that story is kinda sad

          • So maybe two months after i beat Crystal (I still played my Red, it took me a year Red and near a year to beat Crystal imagine how close i was to my teams) My brother gave them to his girlfriend ( for his 3 month anniversary gift) because she wanted pokemon for a long time (keep in mind my brother had Blue and Silver). He didn’t even ask me and he just took them and i cried for so long, she wouldn’t give them back either. My parents said i should deal with it, so i thought every one was against me. But i had good friends who cheered me up and stopped playing their pokemon games because my games were “stolen.” Luckily soon after (2 months is a long time with no pokemon) Emerald came out. Thus begins my favorite game ever 🙂

          • That is horrible! Those were your games 🙁 And to even have your parents against you knowing they were your games 🙁

          • I know it is terrible!!! Yea they thought it was good that it would make me “go outside more” to this day i am still mad at my brother for that. The thing is he was in fifth grade so it was just some little kid love >:( i cried so hard my eyes were probably so dry. I was mad three things
            1. He STOLE MY GAMES
            2. HE HAD POKEMON GAMES HE JUST WANTED TO KEEP HIS
            3. HE STOLE MY GAMES
            4. My parents agreed to stealing
            5. HE STOLE MY GAMES
            6. she wouldn’t give it back
            7. HE STOLE MY GAMES
            It was just a terrible March for me, don’t you agree

          • I KNOW RIGHT!!!! These were the highlights of my childhood but nnnooooooo HE STOLE THEM FROM ME AND TOOK AWAY A CHUNK OF MY CHILDHOOD, Pokemon emerald recovered most of that chunk but not all… I promise if he ever stole emerald i think i would beat with a metal bat, no lie, will you help me :D?

          • Thanks buddy, but he knows i still am mad at that so he would never steal my stuff again. But if he does i know who to call 🙂

    • My Sceptile from Emerald (legally). As to how old it is, well, since Emerald came out, too lazy to do the math. Good times…

      My actual oldest and first poke would be Feraligatr in Gold. And yes, my first game wasn’t an original copy :(.

  15. You know what remember “those” people who weren’t the biggest fans of the little amount of new pokemon? You guys should only be happy with these games. They can continue delivering with the updates and events.

  16. Sorry for my absences guys! [dunno if anyone actually noticed but .. XD;]
    I’m just taking a break from pokemon y because..welll… look at that playtime. i think i’ve been playing too much and almost completely stopped my other hobby, drawing D: !

    anyways, wow i didnt know that snooping thing was going on o__o might explain some extreme predictions that goes on in the wifi battles i was in, though i know a lot of people won’t like that instacheck getting uninstalled xD

    also sad there arent any hidden megas anymore.. i hope this really isnt it and there’ll be some later still DX such disappointment.

  21. I see all this talk about a “phantom downvoter”, personally I don’t give a shit about it considering the like/dislike system doesn’t do anything to the comment apart from what people thought of the comment, which I find pointless since honestly I don’t see why so many people care about what other people think. So I ask, what is he doing that’s affecting you so much? He’s showing distaste of you and your comment? ok? and? thats it? well thats a really weak argument considering this person probably doesn’t know or care about you in any way and is probably just doing this just cause he knows people get angry over stupid crap like this.

  22. so since Volcanion is related to the lumiose blackouts I guess its safe to say its concealed in one of those 3 doors in the power plant.=

  23. So just need to get this bad news off my back, I wont be on as much anymore. I’m SUPER busy with a ton of activitys to do plus pokemon, Now this might not happen, just because I have been and will be scraping up as much time as I can get my dirty lil paws on.

    Reply
  24. Also pokebeach didn’t mention the class/name of Volcanion. Diancie Jewel Pokemon, Hoopa Mischief Pokemon, what is Volcanion?

  25. Why do people think the endgame is so bad, I mean there’s the Looker Bureau, Lumoise City, Friend Safari, Pokeradar, Wifi battles and trades, wonder trade, chain fishing, perfect IV breeding, not to mention buying all the clothes availible, the battle facilities in Kalos, the restaurants in Lumoise, I really don’t understand…

  26. With the 1.2 Patch, I noticed some things about the Elite Four (first time battled) when I replayed the game from scratch on my other cart. Can anyone confirm these?
    1. Malva’s antagonistic dialogue is removed, she is no longer: annoyed with you, wants to burn you where you stand, and call you a runt. Instead, she says she is busy and she’s a Holo Caster star. Was it always like this if the’s the first fight?
    2. Siebold has been nerfed to 1 Full Restore rather than the 2 Full Restores everyone else has. Probable reason: My God that Gyarados. Even overleveling it by 10, it was really scary.

    Reply
    • Hm… I’ll check this out in a bit after my test. That’s interesting. I wonder why that was changed. I felt like it should’ve been changed after the first battle though. It didn’t make much sense afterwards.

      Reply
  27. So I have a quiet Snover with perfect HP, defense, sp.attack and special defense. Should I invest 252 attack/sp.attack with a mixed set? Or should I go special with 252 HP/sp.attack?

  38. Does anybody else think that its hilarious how much of a fanservice Mega Charizard X is.
    I mean its literally just fans service, and than the Y mega is probably the actual mega they designed for Charzard
    its finally a dragon type after people making jokes about it for years.
    It is black because everybody wished they had a shiny/black charizard! XD
    Don’t get me wrong I love the Mega i just find it funny!

  39. Told myself I would work out for 30-45 minutes, shower, then think of something to breed. My sister came upstairs and picked up where she left off on Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Mix (she recently started playing it for some reason). I was like “I should continue; it’s been weeks since I played!” So here I am back in society two hours later.

  40. So, after my flying team is done, I’m doing a German team! Blissey, Aegislash, Azumarill, Haxorus, and two others i don’t haz yet. So easy to EV train, so hard to find continuous battles. But, i must finish my flying team. THree down, three to go

  42. Probably been pointed out already, but I reallybelieve that Zygarde will have a Mega Evolution next game. Since Mega Evolution increases your base stats by 100, that will raise it from 600 to 700, placing it behind:

    Mewtwo Y & Mewtwo X with 780
    Arceus 720
    Both Kyurem fusions have 700
    As well as Mega Tyranitar & Mega Garchomp have 700

      • keywords : as of right now

        When Gen 5 came out, none of the Gen 5 Poke’s had hidden abilities until Gen 5.5 (B2W2) – they wanted us to get used to their normal abilities first.

        Reply
        • I’m sure they might get megas in gen 7 or sequels, or remakes or whatever. I don’t see it happening for a while since the gen 6 legendaries were what created the stones.

          Reply
        • also to further add to that, Mega Stones were discovered in Kalos right? And only seem to work there (going by what they say in story) – so how would it be that none of the 6th Gen Pokes get Mega’s when they were born in a Mega region lol.

          Reply
  43. Okay, comments down below inspired me to ask. What Gen 5 Pokemon do you think should Mega evolve? Pick one. Me and my dad are mutual on Golurk, but Druddigon would be just as good too me.

  50. I get why Celebi is being distributed. Celebi’s the Time Travel Pokemon, and you transfer Pokemon from BW/B2W2 to XY. XY take place in the future (don’t know how many years from B2W2). Well played GF, well played.

    Reply
    • I might be thinking too hard into it too, but it may also be a hint at the next game(s) to be using a time machine as well. All the 3,000 year old mentions in the Xy story, and then theirs that letter Sycamore left at the train station “to my future self”

      Reply
      • Could be. I remember back before XY were released that it was speculated that time travel would be involved in XY. It wasn’t, but maybe in the next games.

  51. Todays Nintendo Direct is even more interesting than I previously thought. Apparently Nintendo may be hinting at a new game in the works in the SSB4 Rosalina trailer. At least I hope so.

  52. Everyone should probably take note that Hyrule Warriors is not the Wii U Zelda that Nintendo has been teasing. This is a spin off being co-developed by Tecmo Koei (The guys who made Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, etc.) We are still getting another Zelda anouncement at E3.

  54. I disabled Passersbys at first. Then I enabled them to battle with me. Now I know why I disabled them.

    First, a guy challenged me and I accepted.
    As I was winning (5 VS. 2), he forfeited. (Even used a Moltres).
    He then challenges me again with a whole different team that counters my whole team. I lose and I don’t forfeit. I guess he just wanted to be satisfied. You know what he did right after winning? Went offline so I couldn’t challenge him. This bothers me so much! *Disables Passerby connectivity*

  57. Each gen there’s a legendary a trio. In 5th gen there were 3. There are 3 games in a generation except for gen 1 which had 4 and 5 that had 4. 4+4=8 8÷2 =4 4-1=3 . There are 3 regis in gen 3 and 1 in gen 4 add that 1 to the previous 8 and you get 8. 9 ÷3 = 3. my IQ. Is 3. Up until gen 3 There were 3 gens. There is a trio in gen 3. I used to have a TRIcicle. There are 3 parts to the TRIforce. I take 3 tablets a day to help me with my mentality… half life 3 confirmed.
