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. 😛

    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.
