Pokemon Scarlet Violet update 1.3.0

A new update has just been released for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with version 1.3.0 now being distributed.

On top of that, a bunch of different bug fixes have been implemented.

The full patch notes for the Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet version 1.3.0 update are as follows:
