Pokopia’s latest update stops homeless Pokémon from disappearing into the abyss

If you’ve ever accidentally deleted a Pokémon habitat in Pokopia, you know that, sometimes, it can be a total pain to find the Pokémon that was living there. Maybe it got lost, maybe it deliberately packed its things and took a hike—but the result is often the same: the Pokémon seemingly disappears from your town, and searching for them becomes nigh impossible.

Well, there’s some good news, Pokopia fans. The game just dropped a new update that prevents homeless Pokémon from vanishing into thin air alongside a wave of other fixes that should make rebuilding the world of Kanto that much easier.

Before today’s patch, if you removed a Pokémon habitat, a ‘mon living in it would sometimes disappear, and you wouldn’t even be able to locate it through the Pokédex’s “Search” function, which allows you to find any of your town’s inhabitants who may have wandered off. The worst part is that it’s incredibly easy to accidentally delete a Pokémon’s habitat by picking up items or punching the wrong item when you’re all hopped up on hamburgers. So sometimes, a Pokémon would seemingly cease to exist, and you’d be without even a single lead to find them.

Version 1.0.3, which went live in the late hours of April 8, has now fixed that issue, allowing you to easily track down homeless Pokémon without them disappearing. Additionally, the patch fixes glitches that resulted in players being unable to progress in the main storylines of Bleak Beach and Sparkling Skylands. Furthermore, construction projects will no longer be affected by a bug that prevented completion until a clock change.

If you’re an online player, you’ll be happy to learn that a couple of different Cloud Island errors have been addressed as well. Some players were encountering errors that prevented them from creating a new Cloud Island. In a second bug that was addressed in today’s patch, seasonal Pokémon would disappear from the town and Cloud Island if a player performed certain actions. Both bugs have been corrected with today’s update.

All of these fixes should aid you in your journey around Kanto and in any construction projects you may have planned. To see a list of all of the fixes that have been included in the Ver. 1.0.3 update, check out the full patch notes on the official Nintendo website.

Your journey from Finland to Russia in Road to Vostok doesn’t need to be a lonely march, and that can be ensured by finding a cat on the fourth day of your adventure. If you manage to survive the first three days, you’ll be tasked with finding a missing cat.

Let’s look at how you can rescue it and add it as your beloved companion.

How to complete the Missing Cat event in Road to Vostok

You have to survive the first three days, and you will be able to accept the quest. The cat can be found in the Outpost area, but for that, you’ll need to prepare carefully. The quest requires you to travel from the Village to the School, and then to the Outpost, and then again return via the same route. Since you’ll lose hydration and energy at all levels, you’ll need water and food.

Stick to the right side of the map, go past the lake, and you’ll find a road. Stick to the road, head right, and you’ll find the Transfer sign that takes you to the School area. Once you’re at the School, walk near the cover that will lead you to the bridge. This is a straight route, but there will be enemies around.

Reach the end of the bridge, and you’ll reach the Outpost area. The Outpost is extremely dangerous since it’s an open area, and you can get shot. There are three bunkers at this location: the first one is immediately on the right of the spawn point. The second one will be to the left of the Red Farmhouse. Finally, the third one is to the right of the Red Farmhouse.

Once again, keep to your right, and you’ll come across a small hill. There’s an entrance to an underground bunker that will lead you to the cat. Go inside a room on your left, and you’ll find a small well (look for the entrance hidden by wooden planks). You’ll find the black cat in a cardboard box. Interact with the well to rescue the cat.

The exact location of the cat could differ on your save. It can spawn in any of the three bunkers at the Outpost location. Once you rescue the cat, head back via the same route that you came from. Don’t die along the way, as you’ll need to restart the entire process.
