@Charalanahzard Someone said it's Nintendo's CoD and yeah kinda. the yearly release schedule has been I feel a net negative for the franchise and bound to become a bigger problem the longer it goes on. Oversaturation and the jump too 3-D rpg has not been the most graceful. In addition in my

@FallGuysGame Hi fall guys, I was wondering if you guys were aware of the issues on Nintendo switch. My game hasn’t been able to open in weeks and I feel kinda cheated, I paid for the battle pass and now I can’t even play the game

@GenePark The thing is all the issues with it can be patched. Should we give nintendo a free pass for having one of their key IPs be so unfinished? No. But if the core gameplay is solid, performance can be patched

@cyynapse Fans have been blindly defending gamefreak’s mediocrity for years though, so nintendo (well known for being anticonsumer *****) just lets broken product slide for quick money

Everything I've seen in Pokemon are issues that probably have quick fixes. They literally couldn't polish the game in time. We should blame Nintendo and the Pokemon Company for that.

@Dragonogon @NekoHappix I'm a decent ways in and nothing major on my end other than having some issues redeeming the My Nintendo points. Granted I've never been the type to leave games running in sleep mode for very long if at all, so any memory leak-induced issues haven't happened to me

@SquidPunkTV again, this is definitely a problem with Nintendo and the Pokemon Company, they give Game Freak so little time and budget to warrant these releases. You can definitely see the improvements they wanted to implement but they weren't given enough time to do more.

@Loki29440674 @b0tster I think that is the crux of the issue: No one knows who is making the decisions to keep with this 3 year life cycle. Is it the marketing team? Is it the head developer? is it Nintendo setting aside a date for christmas sales?

@latinalover That's fair but I don't think Nintendo would have objected delaying the game or more money being spent. I think they just let gamefreak do w.e they want and thats the problem

@writersflood Well my issue is that, again, Nintendo's games aren't on switch when they could be. Literally all they need to do is hire the Dolphin Emulator people and boom they have their entire gamecube library on switch. Instead its stuck on GC and 3DS until an executive decides otherwise

@NintendoAmerica I did buy it and I think I can speak for everyone when I say: Thanks for the unfinished game for $60, please fix this ASAP

@GeorgeOD_ Do Nintendo Switch Games get patches. The Devs could fix it in around 6-8 months. Feels like this is Pokémon's Cyberpunk 2077.

(@_TsunTsunAndi_) reported
@Omgiamonfire i mean, yeah but i still don't enjoy how the blame is consistently shifted onto gamefreak while it's most likely the higher staff at the pokemon company and nintendo who demand so many releases which exacerbates the problem it feels like people are shooting the messenger here

charger port on #NintendoSwitch broke. Anyone have a fix or someone to send it to that won’t charge an arm & a leg such as Nintendo itself does?

@Cadet_Kevdog @Charalanahzard Did I say they were the only problem? Gamefreak being a small team is the main problem. They are at fault for that shortcoming. Nintendo wanting to constantly push out games from one dev team doesn't help, especially when said dev team doesn't help themselves.

I’m sorry, but if you think the state that Scarlet/Violet released in is okay, you should be ashamed. There’s no reason a game by Nintendo, in 2022, on a new Switch, with less graphical fidelity than BotW, should have this many graphical and frame rate issues. It’s embarrassing.

@UkitakeFan1984 @Pokemon Botw didn't have the problems this game did think about that long and hard they put there heart and soul into the game and look what happened too it but ur still supporting nintendo switch that's the problem people need to quit buying this garbage

@OctoCat99 @PkmnBrainrot Literally yes there should be few technical errors with a game when it releases. I would figure that’s a quality of a finished game. I get these people are slaving away but only cause Nintendo is trying to push more Pokémon games out to us faster than ever for no reason

Also if it is a cart issue my idiot *** didn’t spend the $4 on a warranty at gamestop so i’d have to complain to nintendo and im sure their customer support is super not busy from issues with their game right now lmao

@R_Schultz1979 @H1ppin I miss PC so much omfg :( But yeah the Nintendo Switch isn't supposed to be a powerhouse, I get that. Hopefully they fix the graphics like with patches or whatever. They're not terribly bad, but still bad lol
