@Kempoleon_ You're right, the main thing that bothers me is the rendering issues and frame rate, Nintendo made a link to report issues, you can either submit a complaint or get a refund, imo I'm immensely disappointed, but I will say it's definitely a step up from gen 8

@GuyNamedHenry_ @LaidbackStrat Nintendo is a minority shareholder. It’s possible they are demanding these games to be rushed, but that would be odd considering they have no issues with giving games like Mario and Zelda 5+ year development times. And those games are well-polished.

There are some people reading this tweet and somehow coming to the conclusion I’m defending Nintendo. All I can do is possibly dm them links to night schools in their area or online English class tutoring. I can help pay, if finances are an issue. I’m here to help, always.

The performance issues of Scarlet and Violet are too big to ignore. @NintendoAmerica and @Pokemon are going to have to make some kind of official acknowledgment and vow to fix this. It's already damaging to their reputation, but ignoring it will simply exacerbate the distrust.

@BansheeBOOVT Well I think Nintendo didn't made Pokemon Scarlet & Violet I think it's the pokémon company should fix some bugs issue hopefully things be okay I'd hopefully.

I really thought I'd be itching to buy #PokemonViolet but seeing all these performance issues and how bad it can be I know it would just annoy the hell out of me. I think @Nintendo and @GAMEFREAK_info NEED to take time off from the cyclical yearly release and work on the tech.

@silokhawk yeah, I don't have an issue with enjoying a game with issues but you can't pretend it has a lot of them (which i consider unacceptable with the amount of money each game makes and the relatively simplistic style pokemon has compared to a lot of other nintendo games)

This new Pokémon game is riddled with issues. At this point, I can't even believe Nintendo released this. The FPS issues, FOV issues, screens getting cut in half, crashing, bugs. I'm severely disappointed. This game has the potential to be one of the best, and it isn't.

I hope that Nintendo rushes out some patches for these Pokémon issues.

@MrSinnoh The problem IS the switch, and the problem IS Nintendo and the problem IS gamefreak.

@MAGNEDETH @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Bugs can be fixed with patches. Performance issues can't be fixed until Nintendo releases a new console [Switch is comparable to 2017 mid-range mobile phone in specs, and this isn't even jokingly said] I'm pretty sure bug fixes will be made, as such patches have been a routine

@ThatMetroidGuy I guess so… I don’t think it would have much issue running 4 on the pretty minimal requirements I listed, but if we indeed do have the patience 2 wait even more for a next-gen Nintendo console to maximize its potential then I just really wish it’s a backwards compatible Switch 2

@NintendoUK We ordered it in August, the money left my account but still no game. I'm not happy with the service from @royalmail and will not use them. I have no idea why you have entrusted them with this service.

@InkWolf709 Have you also tried contacting Nintendo? I've heard they generally will fix any drift issues pretty much for free. It could also just be cheaper then a whole new set

Do I think it excuses the issues? No. Game Freak has been making these games for 25+ years. They are making them for Nintendo consoles, too. Look at games like Mario Odyssey or Animal Crossing, there is no reason Pokemon should be as behind on graphical improvements.

@topsyturvybooks It is a bit Nintendo DS looking tbh they need to fix a lot in the game. Why game companies think they can release an unfinished game is stupid x

@MarkTime0 @MightyKeef Where did the dude defend Nintendo? Can a game not be fun and have a lot of content while also being a broken, unfinished mess? God forbid someone says one good thing about the game admits waves and waves and very valid criticism

Gamefreak absolutely 100% needs more time between pokemon releases Idk if that's their problem or nintendo's, but it needs to be the case

I’d never had joycon drift till SV. And it’s bad. It doesn’t really affect gameplay other than making the camera do 360s but it is happening all the time. At least Nintendo says they fix that for free.
