Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Smog Awards!
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
The Japanese version of the other notice also says "Late January"
I'm guessing unlike the Home situation the update was always meant for Late January and English just mistranslated, misread, used a stock phrase, etc

English version of the page (they say the same mid-January 2024 or later).
Despite being allowed online, Play Pokemon has decided that Dragon Cheer is banned at in-person events anyway.
I did forget that TPC addressed Play Rough being visually bugged in raids dating to at least November 30th (Twitter screenshot)/December 2nd (archive), but it was only fixed in February with 1.2.0. So I guess it's an improvement that we're hearing about these bugs after knowing when the patch should release rather than before.

Not really. They still call bugs as fixed bugs in patch notes after the fact, usually being the first time the issue is acknowledged like with the Order Up nerf and Neutralizing Gas/paradox ability mechanics change. The Metal Sound TM recipe issue is also more like a human error on the planning level but they called that a bug too.

Its epilogue time! Enjoy the delicious aroma of this Pecha Berry and have fun with friends old and new!
Going back to the soundtracks, dogasu put his little write ups for them and that included some information on stuff in the pamphlet. All 3 games get development artwork, a recap of the story and some creator messages:
Hope someone translates these when the soundtracks drop; They're probably not very long but I always like seeing insight and I know some folks here really like Go Ichinose in particular.
The Development Artwork stuff will also be pretty interesting for SWSH specifically; LA had its artbook iirc and SV had those GDC talks but I'm not sure we've seen SWSH concept art? That should be fun since some of the set pieces look pretty nice.
LA will also get a section that points out which songs from DP were used as the basis for the new songs.

Apparently you can clone mons by getting a wild Smeargle to use Transform while next to a tree so it doesn't untransform when you run away. Will they get this one in time for 3.0.1?

Does the clone have the HP of the original or the HP of the Smeargle?
The article(/forum thread?) shows an example with Pecharunt where it's the same aside from being freshly caught exp and being damaged
I finished Indigo Disk today! My base thoughts:
Big W's:
-it was fun
-good music (better than dlc1)
-good new pokemon
-I liked Kieran, Lacey and Drayton
-good amount of difficulty (If my team didn't have a big type advantage, it'd take down a few of my Pokemon)
-lots of secrets/easter eggs
-I liked how experimental it was
Big L's:
-no performance patch
-a lot of "cutscene - walk - cutscene" syndrome, thought we were past this

briar not being a real villain was an L
Video detailing the entire backstory of Pecharunt & the Loyal 3 that is not actually i nthe game
not surprisingly it's "What if Momotaro was a complete jerk"
e:
Can also obtain the Neo-Kitakami Phone Case with the code " NE0R0T0MCOVER "
And here's the official art of Pecharunt
And the flavor part of its write up

Actually it's very interesting to see another side of the story to the Tale of Kitakami, the tale of Ogerpon, Pecharunt, and the Loyal Three.
With the way it was told in Teal Mask it's very easy to simplify it to Pecharunt and the Loyal Three being purely "evil" but now we know why Pecharunt and the Loyal Three were even there to begin with and why they wanted Ogerpon's masks.
Pecharunt and the Loyal Three's tale does very much mirror the classic tale of Momotaro, including it being taken care of by an old couple. But now this tale as it's told offers a new perspective to Pecharunt and the Loyal Three's perspective, being that Pecharunt inadvertently drew out the wishes of the old couple and as time went on they were the ones who wanted Ogerpon's masks, and Pecharunt went on an adventure with its three retainers to get them because it wanted to make them happy.
Also puts more of Pecharunt's nature into light, it is in fact very timid and more than anything wanted to be loved.
And if I'm not mistaken it seems Okidogi was its first retainer, and had been serving it ever since it had been with the old couple. Perhaps Okidogi was responsible for gathering and delivering what the old couple wanted way back then?
Pretty cool to see the other perspective and putting Pecharunt and the three's side of the story into light. Goes to show that one side's hero can be the other side's villain, and that it's not as simple as them being "evil". It seems Pecharunt itself comes off as relatively innocent at heart but ended up ruining Ogerpon's life in doing so, inciting Ogerpon's wrath.
Honestly this makes all of them (and Ogerpon)'s story even cooler, the fact that in the grand scope, there's no true "hero" or "villain" in the story when you have every perspective. It was something that became a conflict that ended poorly for both Pecharunt and Ogerpon in the end, and led to a bitter enmity between them.

The website updated today with official art (& profiles) for the remaining new Pokemon.
This did include Ogerpon with its other masks, but surprisingly Stellar Terapagos is only represented through in-game screenshots.
Nothing especially new but we also got confirmation that Ogerpon was designed by Ariga, and he drew some cute ogerpons to go with it.

3.0.1 is now downloadable.
Japanese patch notes (also summarized on Serebii): https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/190.html
They explicitly mention removing Shieldon Claw as a material for the Metal Sound TM, Dragon Cheer, Inkay softlock, getting stuck between the Item Printer, the Calyrex relearn move thing where it can relearn some DLC fusion-only TM moves after being separated, and "other issues".

What did they replace the Shieldon Claws with?
Nothing, they just removed that part of the cost
Based on the wording of the Serebii patch notes Smeargle should still be still be able to use the move, just not as a wild pokemon
Probably? As far as the game's concerned that's not a Smeargle, literally. Based on people actually testing it, it doesn't so much turn the Smeargle into the Pokémon as it does despawn the Smeargle and spawn the Pokémon it transformed into. If you have a wild Smeargle transformed into Raging Bolt in the overworld, it's just a Raging Bolt as far as the game's concerned.
I don't think the clones persisted after a reset in general to begin with.
The clones were actually very persistent unlike other spawns. They will remain on the map even if you activate a picnic or unload and reload the whole map by fast traveling to Paldea and back. So if the clones aren't purged by the patch, they could stick around for a long while even in 3.0.1.
I take it that no one has tried to update the game while having a clone on the map?
