5CDC48F8-951D-43B6-ACAE-1B13C21268E2.jpeg

As of today, Nintendo has pushed out a minor firmware update in the form of version 7.0.1. According to the patch notes, only one thing has been changed, which is a fix for Pokémon Let’s Go. Slight connection issues have been resolved when connecting Let’s Go to Pokemon Go, and of course, the expected general stability updates are included.


  • Resolved an issue where the Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! games cannot reconnect to the Pokémon GO app if the game software was closed after pairing with the app.

I don't know the details of the game, if account pairing is newer somehow or what. But the fix is described to address slight issues, so it wasn't exactly game breaking. It might just be an update for a module that handles connection and pairing confirmation to be more consistent.
There's a lot of things it "could be" .. Which is part of the problem. Is it an issue with a system module? Or an in game issue? Who knows?

if it was something wrong with the game, fixing the firmware would do nothing to help. that's the implication.

I haven't modded my switch in fact, I haven't looked into it. however, there's some weird shit going on with saves disappearing and reappearing via cloud. I'm about to go the dark side if this shit doesn't stop. :D

they should've made it possible to ftp saves between the system and a computer like how you can communicate to the micro sd card with the new 3ds through the computer. :)

A game got a bug so we fix the os. Magic Nintendo.
The bug was likely some sort of driver-side issue that emerged in 7.0.0, patching the game wouldn’t do anything unless Nintendo wants to use a workaround or something else that would likely cost (relatively) way more time and money than a simple OS hotfix. Plus there’s also the chance that bug could have been capable of affecting other Switch games as well.
