What’s in the Pokémon Crimson/Crimson Patch 1.2?
Concrete patch notes are also not yet mentioned. The video only mentions that Update 1.2 “Bug fixes and a feature” should add. What is behind this function is unclear.
Patch could prepare for Pokémon Home
how VGC writes, the Pokémon Home mobile app will also receive a new patch in February. It is quite possible that both patches are related and that the developers are preparing Pokémon Crimson and Crimson for the release of the transfer database. This has not been confirmed, however, this is just speculation.
Pokémon Home is slated for release in early 2023 for Pokémon Crimson and Crimson, and initially offer additional functions to the Battle Stadium. The official website states that for now, we’ll be able to get trainer rankings, commonly used Pokémon, online tournaments, and more through the Home mobile app.
However, most fans should look forward to Pokémon Home’s transfer function: However, this should only be available for crimson and purple in spring 2023. From then on it will be possible to transfer certain Pokémon from older games to the Paldea region.
