Pokémon X and Y 1.2 Released on the eShop

Nintendo today released the second patch for Pokémon X and Y onto the Nintendo eShop. Among other bugs, this fixes the online battle and trade exploit discovered by the competitive community that allowed online battles to be exploited and the data watched in real time. This, in simple terms, lets someone know what moves you've made as soon as you confirm them - a cheat which provides easy wins every time.

Please note, that as of yesterday (December 12th) this update is required for all users wishing to trade or battle online, and this update also includes the 1.1 update released a couple of months ago. Attempting to trade or battle before updating will throw an error message.

To update, access the Nintendo eShop from the 3DS menu - if you're not prompted to update, search for Pokémon and manually choose the version you own. Alternately, scan the image below with the 3DS camera (press L and R simultaneously on the home screen)

- Fixes an occasional bug causing Pokémon not to learn new moves after evolving through Wonder Trade.
- Fixes an occasional bug where certain captions for Trainer PR Videos were not unlocked in Lumiose City.
- Updates an Internet communication issue.
- Includes previous update (Ver. 1.1)

It would have been absolutely ridiculous if they'd carried on without encrypting the data. I'm relieved that they decided to patch this.
