Pokemon Scarlet and Violet lastly hit the market final week. Within the time since then, avid gamers in every single place have been experiencing the primary true open-world Pokemon video games. Sadly, that’s not the one factor followers are experiencing. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are riddled with bugs and glitches. Not solely that, however the video games look a number of generations behind within the graphics division, and the efficiency is abysmal. All culminating into an unsightly, weird, and considerably hilarious expertise.

There are a number of issues that might have induced this. However the seemingly reply is that Sport Freak and The Pokemon Firm didn’t need to miss this vacation season with new video games within the sequence. Opting to hurry out blatantly unfinished merchandise. It’s a disgrace, actually. The state of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is unacceptable.

Fortunately, I’m noticing approach extra fan backlash than typical with these releases. My hope is that these legitimate criticisms power Sport Freak and TPC to reevaluate the brief time between Pokemon releases. Perhaps even develop the studio or associate with a developer extra able to making a well-performing open-world title.
