FULL STORY
======================================================================

Today, alongside the release of their first wave of DLC, Pokmon Scarlet and 
Violet received a huge new update, which has rolled out a number of new 
features and quality of life updates for free - available for all players, 
regardless of if theyve bought the DLC or not. 

As Nintendo Life reports , a number of changes have been made to the in-game 
camera app. Photos are now taken using the A button rather than the Nintendo 
Switch capture button, and players can experiment with playing music while 
taking pictures to see how nearby NPCs and companion Pokmon react, a bit like 
in New Pokmon Snap . Alongside these changes, players who join others in a 
Union Circle (co-op) will now be able to share any pictures they take during 
that given co-op session with each other. 

As for the quality of life improvements, they're pretty significant. First of 
all, when using TM Machines, you now have the option to only show the moves 
your Pokmon can learn, so you dont need to waste time scrolling through TMs 
that aren't of any use to you. 

Did the constantly rotating mini map ever confuse you while exploring Paldea? 
If so, youre in luck, because you can now lock it to be fixed in a 
north-facing position by opening the full map, and pressing in the right 
stick twice. Now, it should be much easier to know which direction youre 
actually headed in. 

Finally, when you have a Pokmon following you in the overworld, its now 
possible to command them to stop moving by pressing in the left stick once. 
This could prove very useful for taking photos, as I know Ive personally 
struggled to get them to stay in the right place before. 

The update is rounded off with a number of bug fixes and minor changes - wild 
Pokmon with the Titan Mark can now respawn if you accidentally knock them 
out, and the descriptive text for some moves has been corrected. A bug that 
prevented the Itemfinder Mark from being awarded to a Pokmon has also been 
ironed out. 

Perhaps most excitingly, the patch notes state: We have made adjustments to 
the way Pokmon icons are displayed in the Boxes. From some quick testing, it 
appears that icons now load in faster than before - players will know that 
there was previously a significant loading period every time you attempted to 
flip through your Boxes. This change will hopefully make browsing your 
captured Pokmon a much smoother affair.
