 A brand new patch has just been announced for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and we're going to cover all of the details on this in today's video. Hello friends, welcome back to the channel. My name is Osiris and yes, we've had a brand new patch announced this morning for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that will be dropping next week. But before we get too excited, it isn't anything to do with Pokemon Home. Bear in mind the Pokemon Home patch that will be announced will be actually for Pokemon Home and not Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. This patch is specifically for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. We've had a tweet out from Cerebi this morning just explaining this. A new patch for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is to release next week. Fix is an issue that happened with the competition including the Japan and Korean Invitational qualifiers so all of the details are over here. The patch for the new Scarlet and Violet will release next week. Between May the 22nd and May the 26th, this patch will fix issues with the competitions that affected the Japanese and Korean qualifiers for their national championships and the world championship qualifiers causing players to be unable to see rankings based against the same opponents repeatedly and unable to exit out of battles. This patch comes ahead of the repeat of these qualifying competitions on the 28th of May. So the competitions that they're referring to are going to be the Global Challenges that have run recently the Global Challenge 1, 2 and 3 and these coincided at the same time. Obviously these Global Challenges were part of the Japan National Championship qualifiers as well as Korea's as well. So rankings from these kind of allowed players that finish in high positions to earn invites to the national championships but because of the issues that a lot of players had faced throughout the qualifying rounds online because of the system not working properly like Joe goes on to explain on Serb, about players not being able to see their rankings, facing the same opponents over and over again and then being unable to exit out of battles that caused a lot of issues with the actual overall rankings which is quite sad for a lot of players that have received those invites but there were obviously exploitations in this system for online players that have been exploited and messed up the rankings. So what they're doing is I think in Korea in particular they are resetting the whole competition itself. You can see here Miluka one of the big top players from Korea kind of posting this tweet out in response to it. So for Korea they decided to reset the complete reset of the whole qualifying process. Everyone who qualified through the last comp will lose their invites to Worlds and a new comp which will give away all 12 day 1 invites and 4 day 2 invites will be held next week so presuming that will be around the 28th. Even the Japanese Pokemon Twitter page have come out and they've said we have confirmed that an unintended behaviour occurred in the Invitational Oni Internet Tournament Pokemon Japan Championships 2023 main battle held in Pokemon Scholar and Violet. They got on to say that all contestants have been sent information about future actions to email addresses registered in their Nintendo account. We will continue to operate the tournament taking seriously the points and opinions we have received regarding this matter. So this coincides with the qualification probably taking place once again, players having to fight again for their invites to the qualifiers and the competition looks like as of now it will take place around the 28th of May. So this patch coming before that date going live. So between the 22nd and the 26th which will be between Monday and Friday next week there isn't a concrete date for when this patch will come out for this update to fix these issues. And of course if you do get any further updates on this patch with patch notes and things like that we will do an update on the channel just to make sure that you're all aware of all of the updates that will be happening in the game with this concurrent patch. So let me know what you think, drop a like on the video if you have found it useful, do subscribe to the channel to stay up to date with all of our Pokemon Scholar and Violet content and I will see you in another video very soon so until then friends take care of yourselves and bye bye.
