  • Pingu_Doll Penguin 🐧 (@Pingu_Doll) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the issue with the mass outbreaks of Zorua and Ditto. These outbreaks don't spawn, even when there's the correct icon on the map.

  • HaneOdori Sully 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@HaneOdori) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Maybe don’t let gamefreak release a broken buggy game without play testing it a **** ton over a couple years before releasing it :/ Swear every game they’ve released so far have been rushed

  • Egood_Tyler EGoodTyler (@Egood_Tyler) reported

    @PajaroTyler @NintendoAmerica True but fixing it shows they are learning and see the issue now. I guess they didn't play test it

  • Spidgeon5 Spidgeon (@Spidgeon5) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Bullcrap. Pokémon games are bugged and broken on every release, you've learnt nothing. But you got your money so why bother right?

  • elreyIeon Isa (@elreyIeon) reported from Benito Juarez, Ciudad de México

    @NintendoAmerica Worse pokemon game since dash. I hope this patch fix the awful and constant fps drops.

  • Gamer_chris78 Gaming_Sage Chris (@Gamer_chris78) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The fact that it was acknowledged that the game had issues by the company themselves is good enough for me.

  • silxntnoir NoiR (@silxntnoir) reported

    @CalmEnvy_FF You already bought S/V? Well I just found out Nintendo gonna released a Version 1.1.0 update for those games. Hopefully they can fixed on those technical issues. Let’s go Pikachu/Eevee is remake classic of RGBY games with a dash of Mega Evos mechanic in it.

  • RawbreadD Rawbread Ducker (@RawbreadD) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ok now fix smash

  • PachaSalvadorS Pacha (@PachaSalvadorS) reported

    @iuntue @NintendoAmerica Bro the games have actual problems and you're mad because you can't fap to the fictional characters

  • MinoRabe Kraehe (@MinoRabe) reported

    @BenjiSales I guess Nintendo really wants to improve the games. But I don't think GF will or want to fix it. I can't remember when they ever fixed one of their games, sun/moon was a fps Desaster until the end, S/S fps problems in the Wildzone still exist.

  • Andromeda_751 Tae (@Andromeda_751) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Everyone thinks this is going to fix the issues this game has but the reality is that this patch is just for the Charizard raid lol

  • DaTruth51202229 Da Truth (@DaTruth51202229) reported

    @CrashSpyroBanjo @Canadianguyehh @SeekingAlpha Not really, this isn't confirmed and both Matt Booty and Phil Spencer have confirmed games aside COD would be exclusive The next Crash and Spyro game (not that Wumpa crap) will indeed be exclusive to Xbox and Nintendo, only COD is guaranteed for 10 years

  • PuffPeppers PeruvianPuffPeppers (@PuffPeppers) reported

    @MisterAJ93 @MatttGFX @MargieJoJofan If you have a decent pc up to wii shouldn’t be a problem there a lot of guides it’s just usually downloading stuff and putting files where they are suppose to go but Nintendo makes it difficult to find game files these days but it should be possible

  • aurelius190499 Aurelius (@aurelius190499) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the frame rate bug plz, its so annoying to play with frame rate drop @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo

  • MemeLord2715 MemeLord27 (@MemeLord2715) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Finally a bug fix?

  • Zakksu Zak☄Legacy Cast should be in FF7R ya cowards🌸 (@Zakksu) reported

    @WallyintheAlley Oh man I'm so sorry you had a bad time with Pokémon! My brother & bestie also are having problems playing the game & thankfully they both got physical copies & plan to get refunds as well but it sucks to hear about the digital side having bs refund policies! Damn Nintendo wthell

  • SharenaVonAskr Sharena Von Askr | Vote for Sharena this CYL7 (@SharenaVonAskr) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix that chugging and lag, and make it run as smoothly as 3 year old switch games, and I’ll buy both versions the next day Fam.

  • JadeRabbitYT MTG Jade (@JadeRabbitYT) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So is the major bug of being able to get guaranteed one hit kills fix or are your guys actually starting ranked season 1 with that not fixed. I mean not delaying ranked with that major exploit shows a major lack of care for the competitive seen.

  • Shill_DS Dustin Shilala (@Shill_DS) reported

    @PajaroTyler @NintendoAmerica They won’t fix it though. That’s the hilarious part. The “bug fixes” will be things that benefit the player like the dupe glitch and shiny spawns.

  • BryanBendickson Bryan (@BryanBendickson) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Oh cool a patch that doesn’t fix the frame rate issues.. also we need clothes options back the uniforms are horrible

  • gamester8000 Gamester8000 (@gamester8000) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did they fix the RNG Seed problem I wonder?

  • teabastian_o_o Seb (@teabastian_o_o) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I really hope they don’t fix the shiny rates and other stuff like that like they did with PLA

  • PhxntomPlanet Phantom (@PhxntomPlanet) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Great a trash update that doesn’t fix the performance. How hard is it to get the game to run at 30fps.. it already looks awful I figured that would be enough to make it run well lmfao

  • digilandro1 Digilandro (@digilandro1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Want my advice Nintendo? DON'T RELEASE POKEMON GAMES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. these problems could have been avoided and you know it.

  • JohnnyG19218017 Pkmn Trainer J Boi (@JohnnyG19218017) reported

    @NintendoAmerica // hoping we get a fix to how laggy and rigid (idk how to explain it) online Tera raids are, 6-star raids are already hard enough with incompetent teammates
