It seems that today, Thursday, Nintendo has taken the opportunity to share fixes for several of its recent releases. Having already seen patch 1.0.1 arrive for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, it is now the turn of the company's big surprise for 2026, Pokémon Pokopia.
The title, developed in collaboration with Koei Tecmo, offers a very different take on the Pokémon world and exploring it alongside its creatures compared to what we're used to. However, this new title also means dealing with some unexpected issues and annoying bugs that are gradually being resolved.
Today sees the release of Pokémon Pokopia update 1.0.4, and according to the patch notes on Nintendo of America's support site, we can expect fixes such as the repositioning of Pokémon Centers during events, the reappearance of Pokémon following certain events, and fixes to tasks such as those on the Beach. You can find the list of fixes below.
