Pokemon X & Y Game Saving Bug Patched by Game Freak

The brutal bug that plagued Pokemon X & Y users since launch has reportedly been patched by developer Game Freak. The update is currently available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop right now, so pick it up now if you’re still facing problems with your saved games.

The bug emerged when players reported problems after saving in certain areas of Luminose City. The problems that surfaced included 3DS handhelds becoming unresponsive on trying to re-load the saves. Of course, there was no means to access the data which meant you had to restart your game. Nintendo did release a map later showcasing areas that were safe to save in for Luminose City.

Now that the bug has been fixed, you can save anywhere you want. Have the update has made things easier for you? Let us know in the comments below. Those who have yet to pick up either game can check out our official review here.
