@NintendoAmerica Nintendo when is the Pokémon bug fix patch coming?

another thing that i’ve come to realize with all these glitches and performance issues with Scarlet and Violet is why we haven’t gotten raw undisturbed gameplay from a Nintendo Treehouse or something before release lol

@Dan_Daymaker Hell if any other franchise period had this happen, there would of been an exodus push to fix it. But Nintendo stuff can just get away with it because Nintendo

Pokemon Scarlet is actually really good. There's lag spikes, but thats fault of the Nintendo switch I think The game is really nice, it ratios gen 6-8 really hard. Im happy

@Sophi_Darling I think the issue is a greater issue with Nintendo Generally and that is they usually stick with a formula that worked before to protect their bottom line and they avoid experimentation since sometimes when they try they get a lot of crap if it doesn’t work perfectly since gamers

Nintendo: if you want us to fix your switch, it'll cost you 100 bucks Me: I'll just scratch the switch off the list of consoles I own

⚠️- SHOCK THERAPY -⚠️
(@OneVagueMemory) reported
And the issue here, to clarify? Is that the game development teams are likely rushed and pushed extra hard to pump out pokemon content so Nintendo can profit from it (being one of their biggest assets), without refining the content. So we got a rushed, clearly unfinished game.

@AshPaulsen For every Capcom, though, there’s a Bethesda - but you’re right, it’s not all third parties. Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t the Gen 4 remakes the only ones without launch performance issues? It feels like GameFreak may benefit from more hands on support from Nintendo.

@thetruebowser I would have expected another company to release a game in such a broken state, not Nintendo.

@YourBananaIsDea @sumuglysketches @MrSinnoh Because Nintendo knows how to use art direction to circumvent the hardware issue and game freak clearly doesn't.

@SGT_Weber @Hero_Of_Hyrule0 @chuggaaconroy People have literally proven it my man . The memory leak is causing the performance issues . It's up to Nintendo to fix that. There are definitely some optimisations GF can do but I think ultimately it's gonna come down to Will Nintendo fix the memory leak issue ?

Anyone else having issues claiming their Pokemon preorder from the @NintendoAmerica game store? My oldest preordered the double pack last week, had the money taken out of his account, and now he can't download it. Doesn't show up in his account anywhere, but that $120 isn't there

@NintendoAmerica Thanks. How is the patch to fix the terrible state this game is in going?

@CarelessDragoon @HidekiTenho The problem with gamefreak is because they have got deadlines and pressure to be released before holiday season. It's probably not their fault but their higher ups. Potentially nintendo. But yes the game was rushed and not properly revised. Although I'm still enjoying it!

@Hero_Of_Hyrule0 @KittikatGuild @BeatemupsWood This game is just as broken as cyberpunk was. At least cyberpunk got patched. I don’t see Nintendo doing anything about these glitches.

@SGT_Weber @Hero_Of_Hyrule0 @chuggaaconroy People have literally proven the performance issues ( frame drops, crashing freezing etc is due to the memory leaking ) that's something Nintendo needs to fix , it's not something Gamefreak can do much about since it's an issue with the switch itself.

That’s a problem. I haven’t really cared for Pokémon since I never finished Sword and Shield. And not because it’s bad, but because Nintendo fans deserve better than half-finished games for $60 + $20-30 DLCs this is more than Pokémon for me

@ChrisdeMercado @truebluefive @chuggaaconroy Oh, I don't doubt Nintendo etc. know of the issues, just as with Joy-Con drift. They'd fix it if they could, but Game Freak are ****** programmers and Alps, the maker of most analog sticks, has its clients by the bollocks. So don't blame the projectors.

@Black_D_Gamer1 Nintendo fans will always defend the console no matter what. If it’s for them we will have the same Switch forever. I have been reading a lot of people blaming only GF while the Switch itself its also a problem.

down like holy mary

said it before and i will say it again scarvi issues are nothing to me not after bloodstained and im so sure if a small company not even associated with nintendo can issue patches we will also get them in time, i feel bad for gamefreak

@ADDlEISMS Then go get some bc buying some cheap screwdriver opening the joycon and putting a thick piece of paper will permanently fix compared to wasting ur time sending to nintendo and having to wait just for them to eventually replace it instead 😭

@Pokemon Cool, now fix the game. I’ve never seen a first party nintendo game look and play so badly

@MrSinnoh The problem is both, it’s ok to acknowledge that the switch is showing it’s age, and Nintendo would be great to do an update to the system at this point
