PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is the second Wii incarnation of the Pokémon video game franchise.

Problems

NPCs sporadically warp/skip

NPC characters appear to "disappear" or suddenly warp from one place on screen to the next. Specific NPCs may be prone to large skips, or only small skips, or no skipping at all. The cause is current unknown.

• NPC warp example video

Snapshots

EFB copy to RAM is necessary for the game's internal "snapshot" utility. To progress through the game, Pokepark requires you to take at least one snapshot as part of a mandatory tutorial. Once past the tutorial the game is fully playable without this feature, so you can freely use EFB copy to texture past that point.

Hang Post Menu

Game intro is working fine, but after the intro movie it will not start the game and will be stuck at loading animation. This issue was resolved in 3.0-436. See issue 2917.
