Pokémon Champions has had a buggy release, forcing the Pokémon Company to quickly respond with a slew of bug fixes during the game’s release week.
Players have been frustrated with ILCA, the developer of Champions as well as the controversial Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, with various bugs and issues plaguing the online battler.
This includes a bug preventing Pokémon from returning to Home from Champions, essentially leaving the monsters in limbo.
Announced on the Nintendo Switch title’s Japanese website, maintenance is scheduled for April 10th, 8:00 – 10:00 JST (19:00 – 21:00 EDT).
This two-hour maintenance will assumedly fix the mentioned issues below, with the Pokémon Company also promising to look into other unmentioned issues.
