It is important to make sure that games are tested thoroughly before they are released so that the end user, a gamer in this case, would not have many (or any) issues with it. Of course, from time to time, there are some games that do end up horribly wrong for the gamer just like how GTA Online saw characters go missing permanently, which has led to Rockstar compensating such gamers with up to $500,000 in GTA currency. Well, one of the hottest and most popular game franchises to date, Pokemon, experienced a worldwide launch over the weekend for Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, which means all should be hunky dory. Apparently, it is not, as some gamers found a save bug in both titles that would render the game unplayable.
That happens when you decide to save your game in the outskirts of Lumiose City, at least according to a “small number” of Pokemon X and Y gamers as reported by VentureBeat. This particular bug is said to have caused the game to freeze when “saving in the outside streets area of Lumiose City”, requiring gamers to resort to a hard reset of the Nintendo 3DS. However, while that might be the solution for most other games freezing, resetting the console does not seem to work as the game allegedly freezes right after the save is reloaded. Nintendo has remained mum on the situation at the moment, so you know what NOT to do whenever you are outside of Lumiose City now.
