@Iam_thekey @sloggee @berdyaboi The problem here is that BioWare and CDPR are, for the most part, dedicated to polishing their games and listening to community feedback after release, while Nintendo has rarely ever done so We will see if this game ends up getting "fixed" (2/2)

@kia_pardo I got a physical copy as well. People are saying the slowdown is a memory leak issue inside towns/school area. The longer you play the worse it gets so for now they say to reset it if it gets too bad. Hopefully its something Nintendo will fix 🤞

I am thoroughly enjoying the different kind of adventure and direction that SV offers but I cannot defend the numerous flaws it brings—GF/Nintendo need to patch this game (again) like yesterday. PLA didn’t have nearly as many problems as SV do.

Here’s the thing. I don’t play Pokémon S/V but I see a lot of people are experiencing major performance issues which makes think why Nintendo nor Gamefreak won’t delay this game to fix some issues. Methinks this is because they don’t have a game to release for the holidays.

Don't give people grief for enjoying Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Do give companies grief for not releasing a complete game. TPCI, Gamefreak, Nintendo. Whichever. Harasss them constantly. Maybe they'll fix it.* *Don't harrass individual people who work for these companies.

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo can hardly do anything right. Make salmon run play table and fix the new Pokémon game.

@Pokemon @NintendoAmerica hey... Is it possible to ask for refunds on #PokemonScarletViolet ? It literally is an unfinished game... Customer service and expérience are no longer Taken into account for game making?

I've never seen a game so broken like #PokemonScarlet #PokemonViolet. It's not even close to how broken Cyberpunk was at release. And it's way worse because nintendo and gamefreak is both bigger and richer companies.

@Dewndeym I just hope and pray at this point that the next Nintendo console will be enough of a driving force for the Pokémon Company to think about providing more quality versus quantity. I know the Switch isn't the issue here, but maybe something new can spark some interest for them.

@Beer_Buddie @SamiFathi_ You bought the iPhone knowing that’s how it functioned. Just like I bought a Nintendo switch, knowing I couldn’t install the PS5 version of Witcher 3. I would have to settle for the switch version… If you have that big of a problem, open in a browser.

@YozoraCh It's honestly a combo of the consumer, Nintendo, pokemon, gamefreak all together being a problem the companies for rushing to turn out games and us as the consumer for continuing to buy low grade crap they turn out. Letting them stay in a mind set of we can turn it out anyway

@EluTranscendent The problem is with how long Nintendo takes when planning these things. The Switch probably WAS up to par when it was being planned out, but all it takes is a few years to fall behind in mobile tech.

@dealer_sand @not_asian_asian @NintendoAmerica "It isn't happening to me so the issues aren't real!" I have a second gen and a lite. The issues are pretty egregious on both.

Pokemon Scarlet is pretty fun, but the graphics are horrible even on OLED! Background NPCs lag around at like 2 frames as well. Either Nintendo needs new hardware or Gamefreak needs to step up their optimization, cause this ain’t it! #PokemonScarletViolet

@autogangnamfile @b0tster The problem is that gamefreak owns TPC. They along with creatures and Nintendo make up the company. It’s on them.

@koldkanadian @SXodium Problem woth that is that nintendo is not the only one who owns rights to the pokemon trademark, it's owned by Nintendo, gamefreak, and creatures. Though they do need people trained on 3D modeling and terrain.

@Jiikae Age of Calamity didn't have massive bugs, just some framerate issues in some parts which weren't that bad for a musou. Pokémon has Bethesda level bugs. That's really not something I am happy about in a Nintendo exclusive.

The switch version of every multiplatform game is undeniably the worst running version of that game. I get you like Nintendo I do to but come on, we all know the Switch is lagging way far behind. Everytime I hear of a switch port my first question is, how poorly does it run.
