If Nintendo plans to keep forcing a tight schedule on Gamefreak to pump out games, they should go the CoD route. Put together a new team to work in tandem cus the performance + graphical issues are too great rn. This should've been released next year! #PokemonScarletandviolet

So #PokemonScarletandviolet has such bad framerate issues, that I can only play for 5 mins at a time before getting motion sick. Highly disappointed. @NintendoAmerica please fix this game!

@BrawlFan1onTwit @DuncanCantDie I have yet to have a crash with any Nintendo made game. That being said I avoid most 3rd party so I can see those being more unstable

@SNicktendo @ModernVintageG Bethesda open world games have always been buggy, its expected and the modding community are given the tools to fix it. Nintendo, the complete opposite, this is their "seal of quality" TM, as good as it gets unless they pull their finger out themselves and fix it.

@TheSuds_ @edge_115 It’s a Nintendo problem Nintendo thrives on merch and releases copies of their major IPs and slaps a new subtitle on it but Nintendo fans eat it up while complaining about it

@AndreSegers From what I’ve read there’s only about 150 employees on GF? Nintendo should be able to quadruple that for them no problem. Maybe not laziness but there’s definitely internal issues that needs to be prioritized and solved

@JuluisKStar @munosnail Not a nintendo problem, if it was nintendo they'd have pushed this game back because nintendo knows releasing half baked **** is worse then releasing boring ****. Likely upper management at game freak is the cause of this

@ohgoditsranor you hear about all the issues of overwork in the gaming industry because people are allowed to be just a little more public, i think itll at least prove to people like nintendo isnt this perfect shining company that doesnt run their employees into the ground and allow people to

@Echovalia @laranthrod I can agree with your sentiments. Gen 9 is not a bad set of games, it was just surprisingly rough for a Nintendo exclusive. I feel like YouTubers and Game Reviewers are focusing too much on the graphical issues and engine problems far too much. They are minor annoyances at best.

@colbythatsgreat @NintendoAmerica I love the game. Having trouble putting it down. But buying both versions at 60 bucks and having it release like that is rough.

@Syl_MH @MrSinnoh Bro. What is your problem? Yes we should make Nintendo aware of the bugs, but that doesn't mean people can't enjoy what does work in the game in the meantime... Just let people have the opinion they want, stop forcing them for heaven's sake

New Pokémon games are fun but we are getting an update with textures and graphics fix right i mean like we have too @NintendoAmerica @RGT_85

@swiggle_muffin People have asked if Pokemon ever released this broken at launch. No. Sun/Moon had occasional frame rate issues but nothing like this. Nintendo usually doesn't release broken games like this. They've prided themselves on better quality than that.

@moldyclay Yeah, I can't really take his words too seriously. Especially after the whole "no, those people who actually worked for Nintendo are lying, TPC has no issue with Nuzlocke runs".

I just hate to see it. Ever since 3DS days pokemon has started to struggle and I just want to see it get better and evolve (no pun intended) but Nintendo and GF are holding it back with not enough time to work on it and ****** hardware. I hope they are least try to fix this game.

@Kingboozie_ @NintendoAmerica Only thing I’ve had are frame rate and lag issues but I’m playing on the switch lite. I got the game at 9PM on the 17th before the hot fix and still haven’t gotten any glitches or bugs in my gameplay

Maybe Nintendo will stop shipping Pokémon in a broken state when y'all stop buying it when it's clearly reported by reviewers that it's a buggy mess. (No shame if you're enjoying it, but the people complaining about it being buggy are the same people pre-ordering both versions)

@ohgoditsranor realize its a global issue in the industry as a whole, not just here in the us. its also possible devs are treated worse over there, considering just how unpolished this game is, the bugs look terrible and its so out of character for nintendo game

@MelodicSelk @RoseStrelitzia @massive_titty Nintendo is a multi-billion dollar company and released a buggy and broken product. It's borderline unacceptable.

And given Nintendo are still kind of "quirky" and behind the times, I dunno if we'll get serious patches to fix this in the coming months or they'll just shovel out the next title. But systems-wise I really like what they've done with SV, and I can't get too mad about "polish".

(@GameNewsDiscuss) reported
@JezCorden I agree. I often criticise Pokemon for it's unfortunate plethora of issues. They have licensed out in the past like with Chunsoft for mystery dungeon but the IP is owned 3 ways and so it's hard to put sole blame on GameFreak for it. Nintendo are happy to take the profits aswell
