If we’re being a bit blunt here, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet could’ve been one of the best titles in the pocket monsters franchise had it not been for the various bugs that held it back. While the titles sold over 10 million units in its first three days and continues to sell well even now, The Pokemon Company dropped the ball regarding the QA testing and trying to make the game as smooth as possible. Ever since launch, they’ve claimed that they were going to work hard to get all the big bugs out, and yet, they keep failing.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet bug crashes game during final battle
02.10.2023 - 12:23 / eurogamer.net / Scarlet
A new bug has been discovered in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet which causes the game to crash during the last battle of its main story questline.
The bug appears to have been introduced with patch 2.0.1, which rolled out alongside the DLC The Teal Mask on 13th September.
Players have identified what triggers the game to crash and work-arounds whilst the bug persists. Here's the short version — if you have already registered the Legendary Paradox Pokémon which is native to your version of the game, don't try to swap Pokémon in slots four to six of your party into battle. Light spoilers below for the long version.
In the final part of the quest The Way Home, you're tasked with fighting Koraidon or Miraidon (depending on whether you're playing Scarlet or Violet). At this point, you'll need to swap in Koraidon/Miraidon to fight, but if you try to navigate to the bottom of the party list by going down through slots four, five and six, the game will crash.
This can be circumvented by either having a party of three or less Pokémon, or by pressing up instead to wrap backwards to your Legendary. Don't go any further back, as pressing up to go onto slot six from the Legendary also crashes the game.
In SV 2.0.1, the game can crash when battling the Paradise Protection Protocol.
How to replicate:
• Have Koraidon (S) or Miraidon (V) registered to the Pokédex
• Hover over slot 4, 5, or 6
Having a party of 1-3 works, as does pressing up to reach the legendary slot. pic.twitter.com/xAdemaWAFn
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were full of glitches and performance issues on release, which Nintendo apologised to players for. The Teal Mask DLC has fared no differently, with players noticing plenty of frame rate drops and bugs present.
Our The Teal Mask walkthrough will help you complete the first part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, but make sure you know how to start it first. When visiting Kitakami it's a good idea to know how to get Sinistcha, Dipplin, Bloodmoon Ursaluna and The Loyal Three so you can complete the Kitakami Pokédex. Our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet walkthrough can take you through the main campaign — including The First Day of School, Victory Road, Starfall Street, Path of Legends, The Way Home and the final boss. Elsewhere, we can help with the Normal Gym test Secret Item menu,EXP farming and shiny Pokémon. When it comes to individual Pokémon, we can help with Gimmighoul, Pawmot, Brambleghast, Annihilape, Farigiraf, Dudunsparce, Armarouge and Ceruledge.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Getting Special Physical Editions With DLC
Last year, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were not only announced but eventually released. The game had one of the most unique launches in Nintendo history. How so? On the one hand, the title had the biggest software launch that Nintendo ever saw, reaching ten million units in just three days. While that would eventually be matched by a certain title from 2023, it’s still a record holder. On the other hand, the launch was infamous because of how many bugs and glitches were in the game, which was very uncharacteristic for The Pokemon Company and something that the title is still truly ragged for.

The Teal Mask is a short, sweet reminder of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s real potential
As unintentionally glitchy as Pokémon Scarlet and Violetoften felt at launch, their introduction of a massive, truly open world felt like a major step forward for the core franchise, and the promise of DLC made it seem as if Game Freak might have a solid plan to evolve the titles even further. Unfortunately, The Teal Mask — the first half of Scarlet and Violet’s announced DLC drops — doesn’t bring any of the sorely needed bug fixes that players have been begging for since the games debuted earlier this year.

The Teal Mask is a refreshing change of pace for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Kitakami sits at the base of a mountain range, rice paddies and fruit orchards surrounding the small village. Rivers run through the mountains, which expand well past the village limits, to create an idyllic little world to explore in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet’s new The Teal Mask DLC. It’s an altogether brief adventure, and it doesn’t reach the heights of the one I undertook when Scarlet and Violet were released last year — but it’s brimming with charm and character nonetheless.
