Pokémon X and Y 1.2 Update Released December 13, 2013

Nintendo has released a second software update to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.  Dubbed Version 1.2, the update contains all of the fixes in the previous update, as well as several new fixes in the game resolving problems with Wonder Trade, internet connectivity issues, and Pokémon Trainer PR videos.

The fastest way to get these updates would probably be to download them manually at no charge through the Nintendo eShop.  Simply run the Nintendo eShop application from any Wireless Hotspot or Nintendo Zone location and download the 1.2 updates from the Pokémon X and Y section of the eShop.  There is no charge for either update and they are compatible with either the physical retail or digital downloadable versions of the game.  Make sure to download the correct patch for your version of the game as there are separate patches for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, and if you have both games you will need to download both patches.

You may need to update your Nintendo 3DS to its latest firmware to access the Nintendo eShop.  The 1.2 update is required to play Pokémon X or Pokémon Y online after December 12th.

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y are out now exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS.
