Game-breaking BUG on Pokemon Y! VIDEO INSIDE.

[Farobi]

Wow I will never save my file in Lumiouse again T.T
Post #17 could be a solution by the way.​

Mm, someone told me about this yesterday. It happens in both X and Y version. And it happens in both physical copies and digital copies. And it only happens when you save when you are in the OUTSIDE of Lumiose. It is also more likely to happen if you are on roller skates or on your bike. It is also more likely to happen if you save near a cab or Skiddo. Saving indoors within the city is perfectly fine.

My theory as to why it happens is that when you save in a certain plot space that somehow doesn't have a registered location, and then try to load again, the game doesn't know what plot space you saved on. So it just loads you to a blank area. IDK.

I have saved outside in Lumiose and with my skates on multiple times and it hasn't happened to me, but I will never do it again haha.

Nintendo needs to be informed of this and make a patch so no more players lose their save files.

Never visiting Lumiose.

 

[Stevey Queen]

Wow that sucks. But he didn't need to hammer his game. Like sell it or give it someone else who wants it.

Thank god I almost always save inside pokemon centers. Keeping this in mind while visiting Lumoise. I always hated that place anyway (stupid roller skates)

 

[Midoriya]

Luckily I haven't lost my file to saving there, and now that I know I will not save there. I'll purposely buy something from a shop, walk into a bush far from the city, and save.

 

[SockHead]

Thank you so much oh my god i would kill myself if this happened to me

 

[Sheepish]

Thanks for the heads up. Luckily I managed to finish my first run without encountering this bug, but I'll be sure to keep this in mind for my next one.

I suppose it helps that I already avoid Lumiose like the plague. The place could really use an active minimap or something...

yeah that place was confusing as hell

 

[Zeiro]

I just got access to the rest of Lumiose. I'm super lost and there's too many cafes. Why are there so many damn cafes?!

 

[Silversea]

Eh, I just spare the 1000-3000 cost to take the taxi to where I need to go. Good to know though, I, like others, will probably not risk saving in this location.

Wow, that guy was annoying.

 

[oath2order]

Wow, that guy was annoying.

Ugh, true that. So is it just Y?

 

[Farobi]

Ugh, true that. So is it just Y?

it is both.

 

[Zeiro]

I love being ignored.

It happens in both X and Y version.

They just need to patch it. What is happening is that it isnt registering the block you're standing on because its occupied by something solid. All they'd need to do is put in a command that id a default block cannot be found it should either bump you to the nearest Poke Center or find a near by block to teleport you to. Though the second option could result in the game pushing you off map so I'd think they'd go for the easier fix of sending you to the last pokecenter.

They'll have to patch it eventually, too many people are encountering it.

 

[Horus]

I really didn't want to delete my save file so I went in search of any possible fixes that others may have found. I'm happy to announce that I've discovered a method based on this post that works.
Step 1: Load your game.
Step 2: As the game loads wait for the music to start.
Step 3: Mash the home button until it works.
Worked for me after about 5 minutes.
Hopefully a patch is made, but for now this is a fix that works.
Good luck to all the trainers out there and hope you can get back to gaming.

Ugh, I hate Lumiose, thanks for the warning!

Don't judge so quickly, NerdCubed is one of my favourite YouTubers (Up there with RoosterTeeth/Achievement Hunters and Captain Sparklez) and make pretty good videos- though I am biased since he is from Essex like me. Fun Fact: NerdCubed's dad also has a YouTube channel called DadCubed. The hammer bit though was a bit OTT but he does have a habit of breaking the disks of games he plays and then doesn't like- but apart from that he is a good YouTuber

Note to self, stop saving outside in Lumiose City... I already had to start over when I first started as my XL randomly shut off before I saved...

Come on, guys, he's not that bad.
