My roommate and I are having serious problems with Pokemon X and Y.
- Soft resetting (L+R+Start) causes the screen to go black and freeze
- Pressing the Home button freezes game (music still plays, but game does not respond to button input)
- Attempting to connect to the Internet causes the game to freeze (tries to connect to Internet forever)
- Pressing the power button and then pressing "Power Off" on the touch screen causes the screen to go black and freeze
- Closing the 3DS (sleep mode) and then opening it back up causes the screen to go black and freeze
The only way to get out of the frozen game is to hold down the power button until the game shuts off. The 3DS also does not respond right away (you have to hold down the power button a lot longer than usual to get it to turn off).
I play X, he plays Y (both are cartridges), and we are playing on two different 3DS systems. These freezes are 100% reproducible for both of us. They only started happening today, Nov 21, and affected both of us at roughly the same time. Neither of us had these problems before today.
Is anyone else struggling with these things? Can anyone suggest a possible fix?
