The Crimson and Purple Pokemon Trainer discovers “Area-1”
a mail On Pokemon Scarlet and Purple com.subreddit I provided evidence of a bug through a thread titled “I’m not 100% sure this is what will happen.”
OP attached a 30-second video of their trainer exploring the cave system in the Teal Mask DLC, before encountering the Wild Swamp.
Not wanting to catch the wild Pokemon, the trainer decided to run away from the battle. Unfortunately, after doing so, they were trapped between some rocks. As they tried to maneuver, they fell straight through the cave floor and under the map.

Members of the Scarlet & Violet community found the glitch funny, and praised the trainer for discovering the legendary “Area-1”.
Others reported that they were punished for escaping the almighty swamp. “Do you dare to escape from the swamp? I pity you,” said one of the trainers.
This isn’t the first time fans have dropped completely across the world map while playing Scarlet & Violet, and it likely won’t be the last.
According to some player accounts, the recent 2.0.2 patch may have broken the game even further, with many claiming to have encountered more bugs than usual since the update.
