Please be aware that this article contains spoilers for <em>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and<em> Violet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and<em> Violet<\/em> introduce a lot of new elements to the series. The main story is divided across three paths, with one of them being the Path of Legends. On this path, players battle the giant Titan Pok\u00e9mondotted about the Paldea region in order to gather rare plants called Herba Mystica with Arven, one of the game\u2019s main characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are plenty of new elements, much of the classic <em>Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>gameplay is alive and well. This includes Pok\u00e9monevolutions. From leveling, to a variety of different conditions, Pok\u00e9monwill evolve. This not only changes their appearance, but their abilities and stats as well. It\u2019s a system that rewards players for training their beloved Pok\u00e9mon to become stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a strange bug pertaining to evolution has been reported in the game. We can see it here in this video posted to Twitter by gaming YouTuber <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@kesopotato\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kesopotato<\/a>. The video has been grabbing attention on social media and was taken from Kesopotato\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aR7jCPQFuPw?t=11570\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">livestream<\/a> on November 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u885d\u6483\u3060\u3063\u305f\u30cb\u30e3\u30aa\u30cf\u306e\u9032\u5316\u30b7\u30fc\u30f3<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%9D%E3%82%B1%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3SV?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30dd\u30b1\u30e2\u30f3SV<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZwN7B9IjCg\">pic.twitter.com\/ZwN7B9IjCg<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3051\u305d\u30dd\u30c6\u30c8 (@keso_niconico) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/keso_niconico\/status\/1594531510274510848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>A shocking Sprigatito evolution scene.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The above video shows a Sprigatito large on screen. Just when you think it\u2019s going to evolve, the camera shifts focus to another Sprigatito. Kesopotato was quick to notice the oddity, pointing out that there were two of them. But amid the confusion, the Sprigatito on the left evolved into a Floragato as if nothing was amiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s concerning here is the Sprigatito on the right that\u2019s just sitting there with a blank stare. Kesopotato was also perplexed and exclaimed, \u201cWhose Sprigatito is this!?\u201d The important moment for both trainer and Pok\u00e9mon came to a close with the question behind the second Sprigatito left unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This strange phenomenon has also been reported by other players. Each case involves an unrelated copy of a Pok\u00e9mon standing around until the camera pans to the evolving Pok\u00e9mon. These scenes of unrelated Pok\u00e9mon just kind of hanging out on camera have been causing players both confusion and laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/ahiruchan_phi\/status\/1593935298542854144\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>Who\u2019s this Psyduck standing here!?<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/sena_tako\/status\/1594187898781593600\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>There was a bug where some Marill I don\u2019t know evolved, and I almost died laughing.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>All of these cases occurred when a Pok\u00e9mon was set to evolve after battling a Titan. When Titan Pok\u00e9mon are defeated, a little scene plays out where the Pok\u00e9mon that battled against it faces toward the camera with a look of delight. It\u2019s likely that something about these two events coinciding is causing two models of the same Pok\u00e9mon to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, Kesopotato didn\u2019t run into any problems on their livestream after the mysterious Sprigatito appeared. As far as we can tell, there haven\u2019t been any reports of the bug causing serious problems, so it looks like there\u2019s no need to worry if you have a Pok\u00e9mon that\u2019s about to evolve after battling a Titan. That said, the Titans are pretty tough. Regardless of whether there\u2019s a bug or not, it might be best to evolve any Pok\u00e9mon that are about to anyway before taking them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
