@DisneyDLV is there a software issue with the game when playing on the Nintendo Switch? Every so often it shuts down and I have to reload the game again! Quite annoying!

@SkywardWing the fact it took this long to update the game is insane to me. or that aside, it took them this long to address the issue. game freak/nintendo wack as **** for this one. great game, but wayyy too glitchy

@NintendoAmerica I just love how there are absolutely no patch notes except "fixed 4 second music" and started season 1. The game has a gazillion problems and at least some kind of real patchnotes stating which of them has been fixed would be the least you should do...

@NintendoUK Not even gonna fix the performance. I'm sure they found out people can duplicate items very easily and they're after that.

@itchylittleboy @Lyndis_ @NintendoAmerica I mean there are under a post concerning pokémons & it's issues I don't see how this is not involved in pokémon into that smash drama. However I did say that whatever methods that they need to use to get Nintendo to listen is totally okay because that situation is ****** up.

@NintendoAmerica The game is definitely broken. Problems such as graphics and audio bugs, sudden frame drops, poor rendering of images and textures, and especially the cooperative interaction via the internet that does not work properly, ruins the experience of playing the game ...

@NintendoAmerica Yay! I hope this will help fix some of the glitches. I went back to playing @CookstarYumYum because I got so frustrated with it.

@PownicMania5000 To be completely fair, we got no communication from Nintendo or the Pokemon company about these issues until now, which would raise some doubts for some people.

@NintendoAmerica Some issues I can point out are: - characters, pokémons and objects disappear at short, medium and long distance and later appear out of nowhere in front of the character. Makes it very difficult to find elements and move around in the game;

@Sicho @TripleBBB851 @IGN not going to entertain this nonsense of snake being a Nintendo character bc he’s in smash and twin snakes lol. Literally PlayStation built a big part of their identity in the present day off mgs 1 and 2 innovation. That said I got no issues with remakes etc being on all systems

@angeldark2136 @NintendoAmerica i just have slightly bad eyes and think some pokemon are impossible to spot in any case and spotting a shiny is actually even fking worse since the SLIGHT colour change sometimes is just not a thing you can see in legends arceus the mons where bigger plus a lil jingle no problem

@CurvyKirby @NintendoAmerica I doubt they will fix it. I'm a nintendo fan boy but they're not the best at going back to things. They just make a new one.

@Twann0 If you blow on them like an old Nintendo cartridge, problem should be solved. 👍

@NintendoAmerica The biggest problem I would say that makes this game hard to play is weather effects that drop the frame rate, can raid a Team Star base at 5fps and that's if the game doesn't start freezing up.

@NintendoAmerica I scored some defects among several that the game has. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet still manages to be fun, but it is unacceptable that such an expensive game is released with so many defects. I hope they fix all the bugs and bugs soon and deliver the beautiful.

@NorielTheDigger @NintendoAmerica you dont even know what exactly they fix aside a music bug they bugfixed other games also they may just fix duping items and thats the patch we could wait for months before fps or big glitches get fixed if ever i believe it when i see it

Then again, regarding the console, mine is pretty old, BUT, my game has been just fine. No bugs, no glitches. Idk what to tell yall, but at least Nintendo is churning out updates to fix it which is a lot more than several other companies can say. At least its getting fixed. 2/2

When I push the stick downwards it takes 5 years to slowly move back up instead of being instantaneous. And when I calibrated it it has trouble going round in a circle smoothly 😭 ******* hate nintendo

@JoseTarango98 @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon I’m pretty forgiving on frame drops and things, but the clipping and lagging are both atrocious. I can’t deny that. Also the game has force closed itself and average of once per day since launch. I don’t think my other switch games combined total that many crashes since 2017.

@SpawnWaveMedia Realistically how much can Nintendo actually patch to fix so people will be happy? Some of the issues are more cheap and quick design decisions like the boring repeating textures.

@ShellderCashman @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 I have played for 5 hours and I've had a lot of technical issues and frame drops. So I'm sorry if I don't believe you

@fr0gs3 literally Minecraft bedrock 💀 (ik this has to do with Pokemon, but this happened with Minecraft too... people blame my Nintendo switch alot when i tell people there's tons of unfixed bugs and lag in bedrock, at least on switch) it's the game itself..

@NintendoAmerica You/GameFreak really should delay the “first season” and fix this game. It’s embarrassing.

@M88Gaming I love the game still, but I also gotta admit that it's busted. And people, especially the gaming media, should've demanded that they fix it. Not just saying "they won't" and move on. I mean that's not how CDPR or Bethesda was treated. Shouldn't accept it 'cause its Nintendo

@PlayerEssence @NintendoAmerica Exactly I have no plans to play this game until they fix majority of the issues.

@winterishere88 @Dyyrin @IGN Yea but the problem is that it’s a trend among the industry. Publishers rush out games to hit deadlines and fix it after with patches instead of putting out a polished product. It’s something Nintendo ain’t known for.

@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Good to hear. It’s a good game just needs the lag and bugs fixed.
