Their money, their decision.

What's unfair here is that Game Freak shipped a game with as serious a bug as this. I'm actually amazed this skipped Q&A. I can see why anyone would avoid buying the game (as good as it is) from this.

Sure, when you don't know about it it becomes a serious problem, but now that you know about it you can just easily avoid it, by not saving in those spots. My point is something like this should not persuade you to not buy the game. Sure, it is a serious problem, that has to be fixed, but now that it has been found there is no need to worry about it.

I think you're underestimating how serious this bug is.

However, I'm speaking for me only. I was always going to wait a little while before buying the game, so I escaped the bug for now and I'll wait to see what happens. There have been revisions of Pokémon games for much less serious stuff than this, so I'm expecting a patch.

I'm also a bit OCD about bugs like this.

Only thing that worries me about this is the possibility that this glitch may happen in other areas as well, yeah I can avoid saving in a particular town but what about one that may have the glitch without my knowledge.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire October 15th, 2013 8:10 PM

Thank you for saying this...I've saved in the city many times...but never by a cab...hope GF and Nintendo already know of this and are developing a patch...

Pendraflare October 15th, 2013 8:20 PM

From what I read, this glitch only happens if you save outside in certain spots, but you should be fine if you save inside a building.

I might have saved outside there once (or it might have been in Sycamore's lab, I don't remember) and nothing bad happened, though it might not have been that.

Thanks! Adding to the OP.

CoffeeDrink October 16th, 2013 7:07 PM

Goodness, koffi~

I heard about this today. Thank goodness I was not a victim. Oh well, I've come back from worse though. It's good information to have just in case people think of saving by those taxis, koff~

Treecko October 16th, 2013 7:43 PM

I heard this was happening and I'm kind of glad I didn't buy the game on release. Maybe by the time I buy my game myself , they have it fixed and I can fixed copy.

Oh and Nintendo is apparently aware of the bug and is working on a patch that will fix it.

I'm curious with the glitch. Is it in the north part of Lumoise? Cause I remember when you first get to that city in the south end, I saved once or twice. (Thankfully I don't save all that often because my 3DS is almost always in sleep mode xD) Or is it in the North end? I didn't hear about the glitch until I got to the north end of the city. I've avoided saving in the city for now by flying to other cities.

PkmnTrainerElio October 16th, 2013 11:56 PM

Oh good, now I have to have a dark cloud of worry over my head when I eventually play X... Hopefully Nintendo will fix it... Does anyone know if it happens on the Australian versions?

Lilikoi Juice October 17th, 2013 1:04 AM

I pretty much save only in the randomest of places so I think I should be ok. It's good to know though, I'll watch those videos just in case.

Cyclone October 17th, 2013 5:36 AM

You know what I think the problem is? Half the city being locked is causing problems for the save file. Has anyone dared to try saving there later in the game with the entire city unlocked?

This would at least explain the bug getting by QA people; additionally, they already knew where to go and probably didn't stay long knowing there wasn't much to do yet.

I've saved in the Pokémon Center there, but I'll be safe not to save outside. Even though I might be able to recover Torchic.

Also, the cave mentioned in an earlier post (city with Bicycle, second Gym) is Cyllage City. And this is annoying in and of itself; you must use Strength to create a shortcut to your gardens, and you must beat that Gym to create the shortcut, but you must top Lv.25 Pokémon to do it. At the time, I had a single Rock type (a fossil to boot) at Lv.29. I have now had to leave a lot of Pokémon behind in the name of leveling up those "already entitled" and with water moves. Wingull already faced the first trainer and ran into a Sturdy Pokémon and, thus, no OHKO only to then be OHKOed itself. That was infuriating with another Pokémon in the wings for the opponent.

I have since I was unaware of the glitch at the time. Thank God nothing happened :D Now I'm too scared to even set foot in Lumiose.

No, walk about there all you want. Just don't mash the save button there.

Of course, if you aren't a boutique shopper or cafe visitor, you won't have a problem.

I actually HAVE mashed the saved button there many times :O I've heard this glitch only affected the European and Japanese versions of the game, though.

That's most likely the problem, the first time I saved there was inside the Pokemon Center(North boulevard is still locked). And the second time I saved was outside, near Lysandre's cafe that is

Entermaid October 17th, 2013 8:52 AM

How about...I am not going to risk saving in Lumiose City whatsoever.
There could be more areas that trigger this glitch.

Rengoku October 18th, 2013 3:52 AM

Where NOT to save in Lumiose City!
 
http://www.serebii.net/lumiosemap.jpg

This is from Serebii; According to them:

"12:26: Nintendo have issued a press release about the Lumiose City save bug, where the game can glitch out if you save in the boulevards of Lumiose City. They issued a map of where not to save, indicated by the blue gradient, and have stated that they are working on a fix and recommend saving in the buildings of Lumiose City if you have to save in the city at all"

Aaron40 October 18th, 2013 4:06 AM

I have saved in that city heaps of times and it hasn't been freezing for me so i'm not sure why it freezes for other people

Murkrow October 18th, 2013 4:48 AM

note its the blue parts of the map where you should not save.

It might or might not happen to you, still its better to be safe than sorry until the official update is released

Varion Bluefire October 18th, 2013 5:51 AM

I've saved many times in this blue ring.
My friend did, and he had the eShop version, where i have the game cart, is it just eShoppers? :/

TwilightBlade October 18th, 2013 6:51 AM

Rilence, I merged this in the active thread about this glitch. Thanks for spreading awareness.

Cheezybiscuit23 October 18th, 2013 7:13 AM

Odd ive been saving and quiting there a lot and nothing seemed to happen Im on a cartridge and got worried when they started talking about a glitch Im still gonna take caution when but its really weird that it only happens on some games
