@nintendolife Nintendo or Game Freak needs to release an update to fix the lagging and glitches.

**** truth is Nintendo won’t give refunds for their broken game. Using boost when unlocked you basically move faster than the game can load

@WOOLLEY_GAMER Nintendo pull down tons of stuff it’s not mind boggling they would especially if it’s showing performance issues. Nintendo hate free advertising they very much would hate anything painting them in a bad light even though blocking it also paints it that way

@AidenRS139 I’ve not had any performance issues with my OLED model. However, I’m unsure on whether Nintendo made any hardware changes other than the screen, compared to the original model?

@MeViPortal @PlayWarside Considering how Nintendo has had no issues allowing Pokémon clones onto the Switch, I don't know why they'd suddenly draw the line here. Art style isn't exclusive to anyone, and considering how Reboot Camp uses completely different graphics, what would be the problem?

@MunchingOrange I know right! Like, hey Nintendo and Gamefreak, make a patch that lets us change parts our uniforms! And fix your bugs too!

@irIgengar @RukoTheWonder i think the problem is, if say a trans person starts a nintendo game, pre-coming out they can't change their name after they've come out or smthn and would have to delete their save file to not have to stare at their dead name all the time yk?

@NintendoAmerica you guys need to fix the new Pokemon games. They are absolutely unacceptable. If you turned this in for a grade, it wouldn't get an F, you would be expelled. Absolute robbery, and needs to be fixed, or money refunded.

@iDavey I haven’t had any issues as of yet. but I have heard of the lagging. i think people where expecting PS5 from Nintendo and that’s not really fair.

@VileMK2 @RGT_85 I criticised the issues too and sent Feedback to Nintendo in the hope they address these issues. To me videos like this don't help and if anything only serve to annoy people plus it's just childish considering the fact he's a grown man.

@DreamcastGuy From talking to pokemon/Nintendo fans, they really don't care about the graphics or performance issues. It doesn't matter to them.

Monster Hylke Rise: Sunbreak

@TvVledder Definitely not unplayable but because the issues are all visual they're extremely distracting. It's just not the standard of quality I expect from big Nintendo-published titles like these.

It's too bad to hear all the things about poke S/V Stability is usually the ONE big thing you can count on for Nintendo games Other games have had their bugs for sure, but few of them were ever game breaking, and you usually have to be pretty intentional to get games to crash...

Anyone know if @NintendoAmerica, Game Freak, or @Pokemon has come out to say anything about Scarlet / Violet perf issues? I'm by no means an industry veteran but IMO shipping a game like that is just bad business. I want to play it but I refuse to in that state. #Pokemon
