@ChrisSmithster I had an issue with it stating it wasn't my Primary Account despite only Switch I own. Nintendo's online help team sorted issue quickly- would say they are good

@KevinOsuna90 Nintendo (Davide confirmed in an interview they still have to ask them permission to do lots of things in the game) see the value in the character. Only thing working against him is Japanese popularity, which Mario Rabbids could fix that or could finally be overlooked for 6

@NintendoAmerica Would love to see you all acknowledge the absolutely dreadful performance issues in the game and announce plans for a fix...

type of guy who is inexplicably having much more trouble playing Super Mario Bros (deluxe) for the nintendo switch than he is with Elden Ring

@PokemaniacoJose @pChalTV I honestly think the console part of Nintendo got ****** moreso than the handheld part. Reasonably speaking the Switch is a decently powerful handheld with controllers and TV support rather than a console that you can take on the go. Anything beyond 3DS was gonna be an issue.

@PGiantB @Nintendo The biggest issues are lagging, clipping, and animations that just don't work. I haven't even encountered some of the other things people have been posting.

@starrybeetle i wonder if it's a desync issue where what's happening in game isnt consistent on every player's console...we love the low quality of nintendo online services

@thetruebowser Please push for a patch or SOME message from Nintendo recognizing the issues and ensuring the fan base they're working on it. Returning my double-pack til they do.

@mitchmozey @zfg111 They do. This isn't a Nintendo issue, it's GameFreak. Nintendo doesn't lord over them when creating Pokemon games, they are given free reign to do whatever that want because they aren't under Nintendo's banner fully. If you have any grievances with Pokemon, point to GameFreak.

they won't but nintendo unironically needs to remove DC punishment until they can make a functioning service because 99% of all DCs happen because nintendo can't make online

@squishygamerboy The issue, of course, is that this is an open world game on the Nintendo Switch...... so it lags like crazy when there's a lot going on at once :( Thankfully online doesn't make it any worse.

Went to gamestop thinking it was my @NintendoAmerica Switch cord that was the problem, nope. My whole console just decided it no longer wanted to live on @Pokemon Day 😐. Im soo sadd 😭😭🥺 Now I need A new switch for Christmas

6. A shame that Pokemon's quality was getting even worst in Scarlet & Violet due to it's incomplete technical issues. Should've just delayed the game just to be made on the next Nintendo console. But I don't care since I quit being a Pokemon fan since this game's controversy.

@iNabber69 I expected the game to be bad but not unplayably broken. I’m so done with Nintendo. I say as I download splatoon 3 instead

@onion_mu That's what people are flooding Nintendo's Twitter about? I thought it was something worse like major lag spikes, not minor hiccups. How's the game by the way? No spoilers please.

@NintendoAmerica how about you crunch some of your devs and make managers stay at their side and fix the terrible performance? a game this ugly shouldn't run so poorly

@kingboozx3 @artemissapphic @NintendoAmerica As someone who loves Pokemon, this is unacceptable and inexcusable for Game Freak to ship a broken game with bugs and glitches.

@Dave19Brown83 @NintendoAmerica So, what? Just let them leave the game broken?

@BlankSamuel @PeterSciretta I think the AR isn't a problem, Nintendo has done weirder things the last 20 years. I don't think the idea is that inaccessible. Especially when so many theme park rides already have you wear glasses. 1/2

So many of these issues could've been avoided with some art direction. You know, art direction? Stylization? The thing Nintendo games are known and loved for? Why go for this weird, semi-realistic style when they, for a number of reasons, can't pull it off anyway?

@bravegIows and it hurts even more when i look at splatoon 3, a game at launch which at WORST had connectivity to the internet issues but all Nintendo games have that

(@SirGrimly) reported
@The0neulost None of this takes away from the fact that Game Freak is horrendously underfunded and drastically behind other Nintendo companies considering how much of a profit Pokemon makes alone... but that is likely more an issue with Pokemon Co as a whole rather than just GF themselves.

(@Nuadacube) reported
@DreamcastGuy The game itself is fun but I definitely agree Game Freak could have done far much better with the graphics and framerate. This is unacceptable in 2022 especially for a Nintendo game! I'm glad I got both versions but I hope they fix this really quick.

@FrostyHotCoffee So apparently its because most people are playing on the base 2017 Nintendo switch which is the "cause" of the performance issues. I dont think people with the OLED have performance issues that ive seen yet

This is a not a bad DESIGNED game. This returns to the level fo the Ruby Remakes and Ultra Sun/Moon of decent to good game play. This is just the sloppiest and most broken thing Nintendo has released ******* ever
