Pokémon Scarlet/Purple Evolves
Pokemon Scarlet/Purple caused a lot of ink to flow during the month of November, and not necessarily for the right reasons. While many welcomed the turn taken by the license and praised the qualities of its open-world, it was however difficult to miss mountain of bugs which came to taint this new experience.
On paper, the 9G had all the elements to seduce fans, who have also responded. Except that after seeing the extent of the damage, several players wished to desert the game and request a refund. Obviously, it is now up to Game Freak and Nintendo to rectify the situation by making several fixes in order to save its title from the ambient chaos.
A first step already taken, since Big N has just released a patch to make the experience more digestible. But that’s not all. In addition to these fixes, Series 1 of competitive matches should start shortly with the launch of its first season in order to keep the sharpest trainers in suspense. We’ll explaine everything here.

Players who have already discovered all the secrets of Paldea will now be able to compete in ranked matches with the launch of the first competitive season of 9G. To access it, nothing could be simpler: the classified duels are launched via the Battle Stadium, accessible from the Poké Portal. Be careful though, these are not clandestine fights where all shots are allowed. Here the duels are done according to a precise regulation with which it will be necessary to compose. Whether solo or duo, the rules vary very slightly.
