It feels like Nintendo found a drop-dead gorgeous gemstone in the raw and handed it to some pros and went "Ehh, just spitshine it, they'll buy it and fix it and then we can sue them for the polish recipe" like I feel bad for the devs because there's CLEARLY passion here.

@Copperlockscum The year is 2023. The speedrunning community has pushed S/V to its limits. Massive controller banks now dominate the planet’s power grid. Nintendo attempts to patch the glitch, but the fix causes the banks to explode and the planet is plunged into a new dark age.

@blake_salazar @LiusBlaze @Pokemon We will calm down when a.) They acknowledge the issues and tell us a patch is comming. B.) When pokemon, Gamefreak and Nintendo learn they need to stop rushing these games. They need to up the budget and staff. This is a multi billion dollar franchise not an inde dev studio.

@Rage_Crayon @Jimothy2401 @the_nerd_skull Rarely do you see Nintendo or the publishers get the blame for shoving out shotty ****. Nah, must be the game designers, who likely were asking for more time to fix bugs and graphics problems. Yep, must be them.

@garrett @nintendolife My message was to nintendo, not too you mate. I too am an expert at error recovery, I also find security exploits in this process. Different sides of the same coin.

@NintenZ So what your saying, Nintendo should buy them up and fix the company

@ToHDraws Agreed, sadly Gamefreak always had this issue since the 3DS. Gen 8 was a clear sign that something was wrong about the development. Now this performance is inexcusable for a Nintendo Game, don't get me wrong it's a pretty good game but a hardware upgrade isn't going to save it.

Scarlet just crashed on me, after apparently turning off autosave earlier without me doing so. Lost hours of Pokédex work and the first shiny I'd found (Skiploom) because Nintendo can't make games that don't crash from graphical overload.

This game has so much to offer. I understand that a lot of these tech issues are inexcusable on Nintendo's part. However, I truly believe that this is a great game. Is the game perfect? No. Is it a bad game? Of course not. Because like I said there is so much these games offer

@SphendranaD @chozolorehd @NintendoAmerica When a game was complete day one? No leaks all over the net? No day one patch bullshit? Hacked multilayer? DLC? **** game now fix later? Etc lol

(@0iryx) reported
@PeacecrabVal This is what I've been trying to point out to people. It isn't the fault of the devs at Game Freak and I've been sure it was a problem of Nintendo/Pokemon Company pushing it out the door without exception + resources being taken up by 4 other projects since Sword and Shield.

@Courie675 The difference is that they’re expecting me to pay 50 bucks for that with Nintendo’s garbage internet service Screw that, you can kiss the hairiest part of my nuts

The lag and massive framerate drop in Pokémon Scarlett/Violet is atrocious and downright embarrassing for Nintendo. This is one of the most anticipated games and this is the final product? I'm beyond disappointed in both Nintendo and Game Freak. What a disgrace. #PokemonScarlet

@NintendoAmerica You guys need to release a baseline app already. Considering your love for GL. Use Vulkan. Pc version should run natively with a local cast server for browser or smart TV app. Using region localized cloud service for OTG/Multi play for 10$ or so a month for games owned/purchased.

I'd play more #PokemonScarletViolet if there weren't so many performance issues that just take away from the game. Like a lil lag I can deal with. But stuff phasing through walls, clipping through textures, and them crappy windmills? Cmon @NintendoAmerica

@RainSpectre @gutpunchdoesart The memory leak stuff doesn't have an official source other than a Nintendo Support case (which I've worked with doing support cases before anyone can write that up). Some of my mutuals who dumped the game suspect it's a game engine issue with a variety of other factors.

@mateoarellanoo @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Cool that you're enjoying the game but it is a broken down mess of the game
