The update also includes plenty of new features and fixes that will come as good news to players regardless of whether they have purchased the DLC, including improvements in navigation and fixes related to the loading time of Boxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC - Official Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7qWgjU6REnU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the update to Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet this time around, one major point is that you can now lock the mini map so that \u201cup\u201d is always north. Though the latest Pok\u00e9mon titles\u2019 selling point is the vast open world and spacious game field, the mini map had always been kind of unwieldy, largely owing to the fact that it could not be fixed so that up is always north. Now, you can do so by pressing the Right Stick twice while you have the map app open and selecting the \u2018App and mini maps locked setting.\u2019 Additionally, the update also brings new camera settings (accessed from the Options menu) which allow you to adjust how the camera works while out in the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1368\" height=\"770\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001.jpg 1368w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264006-001-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another handy function the update introduces is the possibility to signal the Pok\u00e9mon accompanying you to stop and wait where it is. This signal can be made by pressing the Left Stick. Anyone who\u2019s tried to take a nice picture in-game has likely dealt with the frustration of Pok\u00e9mon refusing to stay put and following after you \u2013 this problem has now likely been resolved.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet feature the possibility of storing Pok\u00e9mon into Boxes, but there had been continuous reports of the Boxes being sluggish in their loading time, making browsing through Pok\u00e9mon feel choppy. Furthermore, this problem was amplified by the volume of Pok\u00e9mon stored, so the closer you were to the maximum 960 Pok\u00e9mon, the more this lag was felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230913-264022-header-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It would appear that the new update tackles this issue, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en-americas-support.nintendo.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/60277\/~\/how-to-update-pok\/u00E9mon-scarlet-and-pok\/u00E9mon-violet#v201\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">patch notes<\/a> say \u201cwe have made adjustments to the way Pok\u00e9mon icons are displayed in the Boxes.&#8221; And indeed, upon <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/6pMuXBMOiHU?feature=shared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comparing<\/a> how the Boxes act in Ver 1.3.2 and the latest Ver. 2.0.1, the improvement can be felt immediately, and browsing feels a lot more comfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet is available for the Nintendo Switch.
