@Benzox_x @LordJewkage @PhillyBeatzU How would you know though? Do you work at the Pokémon Company or Nintendo? Also buying the Games is a Personal Choice and Performance Issues were known for weeks or months. Y’all had plenty of time to cancel preorders. So why are y’all complaining after playing it if People said

@Cadet_Kevdog @Charalanahzard Did I say they were the only problem? Gamefreak being a small team is the main problem. They are at fault for that shortcoming. Nintendo wanting to constantly push out games from one dev team doesn't help, especially when said dev team doesn't help themselves.

@SimpSlay_San @MicheleManoni @NintendoAmerica 1. Don't throw "simp" around if you don't know what it fully means 2. I said in the original tweet that I do see all the issue and agree that they are issues. I'm just saying they don't bother me as much as others. That's it

@sandaIphonss @Kimilers It probably wasn't Nintendo tbh they usually don't have a problem with delaying games if they need more time to get polished. It's probably more The Pokemon Company's doing

@NinWire I thought they took it down days ago? I tried to download a few issues but it was taking forever and would randomly stop. Don’t know how to do the whole bit torrent thing. It’s so sad that Nintendo doesn’t want people to have access to an important part of their own history! :(

@LordJewkage @PhillyBeatzU Life. Instead you’re attacking me on the Internet and it’s no different than what y’all are doing to Nintendo and the Pokémon Company. It’s like y’all are blaming me for the performance issues too. It’s more pathetic than Magikarp 💁

Also people acting like QA, GF, Nintendo, PokeCo, etc were not aware of almost every issue in the game dont understand how gamedev works.

@writersflood Well my issue is that, again, Nintendo's games aren't on switch when they could be. Literally all they need to do is hire the Dolphin Emulator people and boom they have their entire gamecube library on switch. Instead its stuck on GC and 3DS until an executive decides otherwise

@LavishLightsk1n @MicheleManoni @NintendoAmerica Well people have standards for finished games, and you're over there simping while ignoring you all the issues and these people's strife. So no, your low standards don't matter amongst all of the problems the game came with.

what is nintendo’s logic with salmon run difficulty? if you’re spawning so many enemies the game can hardly keep the frame rate at 30 i think there’s an issue.

The reason why I'm getting a different game than #PokemonScarlet is my protest towards Gamefreak and Nintendo, who are experiencing one big case of Karma. I will not spend $70 dollars on a rushed and a broken game. I'd rather spend $100 dollars on Elden Ring instead.

@heartbomb_art i would rather die than give nintendo 80 bucks for joysticks that stop working bc they refuse to fix the problem

@LavishLightsk1n @MicheleManoni @NintendoAmerica Not when you say they don't care about the major issues that shouldn't exist. I see all these people losing hours of gameplay due to crashing, and you brown nosing so no, your low standards mean nothing.

@PkmnBrainrot Lmao defending a broken buddy game isn't the flex you think it is. This is why Nintendo will always be a **** tier company cause of fanboys like you

@R_Schultz1979 @H1ppin I miss PC so much omfg :( But yeah the Nintendo Switch isn't supposed to be a powerhouse, I get that. Hopefully they fix the graphics like with patches or whatever. They're not terribly bad, but still bad lol

@ardyn85 I understand that. What I'm saying is that people are far more forgiving when it comes to issues in Nintendo games regardless of hardware just because it's Nintendo.

@NintendoAUNZ @NintendoAUNZ Nintendo need to either push for the sacking or restructure gamefreak, these consistent lazy rush jobs of their titles need to stop. They don't even fix the games fully before dropping them. It reflects poorly on both the Pokemon company and you.

@LordJewkage @PhillyBeatzU Maybe y’all should learn how to be Grateful for what you have because there are millions of people like myself who can’t afford the Game and a Nintendo Switch. Y’all are being absolutely negative and need to speak to a Therapist if this Game is causing this big of a Problem in ur

@NintendoAmerica Why is lag always so bad with online play in smash ultimate? No matter where I go, online play is absolute hell.

@SXodium By now, we all know what a broken, untested, unfinished & unpolished POS Scarcet & Pukelet are. People should ask for refunds, return all cartridges & demand Nintendo & GameFreak to fix the mess. Web patches should NEVER be tolerated when it's physical media. Only REPLACEMENTS.

@cjgapay @PkmnBrainrot That's more likely on Nintendo than gamefreak, along with just a general issue of Game Development under capitalism

@trans_gurl666 @munosnail would still be 1 game per year with 5 studios for example , but they would all have 5 years to respectively make their games , the issue is that it costs money and Pokemon Company as well as Nintendo will just not do it ever because they ******* suck

@TeagueZyrek @Charalanahzard Nintendo publishes hundreds of games each year, which aren't rushed, and have good quality for their hardware. But suddenly the one franchise where Gamefreak has equal decision power to Nintendo, and you think they're the problem?

@Pettan_Enjoyer @Gaigous It's crazy that I just beat a Sonic game that never crashed or glitched on me after 24 hours of playtime and Nintendo releases this mess and people want to defend it to high heaven as if it doesn't have issues.

@WillowedSage I don't hate Fan Projects, but some of the comments people make against Sonic Team I found pretty insensitive. Fans aren't held back by SEGA. Like fans are lucky that SEGA doesn't issue takedowns like Nintendo. Sonic Team is doing the best with the hand they are given.
