When Arceus came out and we found out Monolith Soft helped out, the game ran as good as it can, knowing that Gamefreak was going to do it themselves would have been even worse. We need GF to have more of Nintendo's in house to help out from now on and to also change the old guard because they clearly gotten complacent. To hammer my point even further, ever since they went full 3D, they have just been getting worse and worse. I'm with you on this, I just want the games to succeed and not be a buggy janky mess.

I disabled auto-save and I didn't have any crashes while playing. But I agree that it doesn't make sense for the game to be so laggy in the cutscenes. And let alone how pig the NPCs are when they are relatively far away from you. I have the same opinion as you, I loved the game, it was beautiful to play with the real feeling of an open world, but the lag is something that doesn't make sense to exist.

Klawf's Anger Shell ability makes him unplayable because during every fight it triggers and makes you watch 4 different animations to illustrate the way his stats changed.

I hate that they did that it should've functioned like when a pokemon uses shell smash because that's basically what that ability is.

Gamefreak try not to force a game out for the holidays challenge (impossible)

I personally don't have this game, but from what I've seen, the optimization issues are really unacceptable and the game crashing sucks. Having a framerate that is so inconsistent whilst not delivering high quality visuals is definitely an issue of the game. In older console generations (ps3 360 mainly), even with games that had bad framerates (i.e constantly going below 30) at least had a reason to since they delivered very high quality visuals for that time (main example I can think of is Far Cry 3). Pokemon was never a graphical powerhouse and I've never heard the games get applauded for performance, but there's no reason why the Switch should be struggling. It can run Bioshock Infinite and Doom 2016 at 30fps, and Burnout Paradise at a pretty consistent 60fps for crying out loud. I'm not a snob for framerate or graphics, and I understand that on the Switch one of those things may be sacrificed depending on what the devs wanna do, but the state of both of those things in this game are not good here. So it's really just the game having bad optimization. I hope they fix it soon, cuz it shouldn't be like this.

i dont have a switch or pokemon so im on your side since people really should look at issues with stuff they like

I like the game and it has a lot of things to make it a great Pokémon game. It also has a lot of things that they had in older games and PLA they took out which is dumb. Obviously the performance should be better. I don’t think anyone is saying it shouldn’t. People just still enjoying the game and people attacking them for it

Paying full price for hot garbage is unacceptable. The Pokémon franchise has the resources to invest in proper R&D to develop a proper 3D engine at least. They've had years. This isn't uncharted territory. They aren't trailblazing. They have no excuse to have this game run worst than the last one, and not enough consumers are voting properly with their wallets.

I don’t really have much of a problem with the games other than 2 things: 1.) The bugs & glitches. I mainly do see the problem being how top notch the quality of the graphics are. It’s a bit too much for the Switch to handle (then again we have games like Xenoblade) 2.) The Dunsparce evolution. I mean I am thankful that Dunsparce did get an evolution after so many years but… I honestly was expecting the evo to look more as a Dragon-type Pokémon. qwq

It's super sad because the actual presentation of the game (3D models, textures and art design) is much, much better than Sword/Shield. But the performance is really hindering all that out.

Internet: stop playing Pokemon, it's all glitchy and stuff. Me playing Pokemon: yeah I see it Internet: then stop playing it, look at the bad frame rate. Me playing: yeah, it's pretty bad Internet: then why are you still playing it? Me: But I am having fun.....

If they fixed the performance and glitches(though it makes the game more funny than anything), it would be a whole lot better. I really like this game, but I agree it could be a whole lot better.

Tbh I can agree. Even me who doesn’t have the game knows what’s going on with all the errors and bugs and stuff. _I’m not a Pokémon type of guy either tbh._

I wish Game Freak could spend some more years learning about developing 3D games especially in optimization aspect, because the games keep coming out every 3-4 years even when they transition from 2D to 3D. Though I think even 3 years should be more than enough to make these cartoony style games

I usually say games should take as much time as they need for development as there are always hurdles you have to go through when making them. However in Gamefreak's case, development studios from Nintendo or one like Genius Sorority (Pokemon Colosseum's development team) should collaborate with them on future mainline Pokemon games.

I did enjoy my time with this game although I saw some problems about that game on other people playing (Like the ones you mention), the only problem I run on my play through is seing wild Pokémon doing the Harlem Shake from far away. That’s all I can say.

I consider myself to have a low standard when it comes graphical fidelity after playing and enjoying Fire Emblem Three Houses and Legends Arceus, and for performance, I at least expect my games to be playable and consistent in presentation. In Scarlet and Violet, the dips in performance are not only distracting (frame rate drops), they can actively hinder your experience (crashes). That is where I draw the line. The game itself is very nice, but how can I enjoy it when it’s sluggish to go through and I know there’s always a chance that something out of my control will go wrong?

The problem is a lot of these social media posts are people in multiplayer trying to create visual glitches lol

Eyo ngl absolute banger video Its painful how Botw runs pretty much without issues and yet POKEMON cant run stable years after all this time!

I played for 9hrs on Monday and I had auto save turned off at the end of it right when i was about to save and call it a day the game crashed when one of my pokemon evolved. I've honestly been saying this since x&y but gamefreak are decent idea people but some of the worst devs and the matter that pokemon isnt just outsourced to hal or another nintendo inhouse just shocks me to this day. The games are good they made ev training easier with the bands and vitamins available early on they added the new terastralizing gimmic but didnt make it a grindy slog to get the tera type you want on the pokemon you want, so many of the small details were so well done and thought through that it just makes the flaws that are there just seem so much more disappointing.

Is it bad that I expected you to add in a crash screen at the end just as a joke- Still I agree; the game's honestly very entertaining despite the bugs, this is why I was apprehensive about the three year gap between this and SwSh. This game needed more time to iron out all the bugginess prior to release

I'm surprised people still say this game runs like crap because it's on switch when xenoblade 3 released a few months before and have no major bugs that break the game like this. While there were glitches like one that let you challenge a super boss early to skip trave to a late game area when still in the early game but that got patched pretty quickly.

0:29 look ma I'm on TV anyway yeah. I think this game is great, but it could do without a world ending sandwich.

The only thing is frame drops which I don't really matter about

I thankfully didn't have any crashes, but the slowness and graphical/lighting glitches just killed my will to live with this game. I loved the gameplay overall, but they're so slow. People do need to stop defending this, there's no excuse. The whole patch mentality is killing games and this is just another example. Not to mention that other things just feel half-assed or unfinished like certain designs/evolutions.(Dunsparce) and christ, even most of the shiny forms look unfinished. Like Koraidon has a killer shiny, so wtf happened with Miraidon? Just overall this game just feels unfinished to me and it saddens me. This is freaking pokemon, they can't be doing this. (Also just saying that we now live in a universe where a recent Sonic game functions BETTER then a recent Pokemon game)

Yeah, same. Worst glitch was falling through the floor, everything else is just cosmetic issues.

The game certainly has a good bit of jank, I am liking the game overall though. I disabled auto-save and have the game installed on a micro-sd card. Performance seems to be better than what other people have been reporting. Additionally, I had the game crash once when I encountered a mimikyu which was annoying. As for the reason behind the performance issues and pop-in and stuff, it's likely a combo of the switch hardware, which gamefreak has no control over, and the engine they are using which gamefreak hypothetically control. I only say hypothetically, because they may not have access to a different engines due to nintendo publishing, it's unlikely but a real possibility. just look at lego star wars the skywalker saga as an example of developers being forced to use inferior or inefficient engines. With how much money pokemon makes I do expect them to put better funding into the game development and using something like unreal 5 would be awesome, but the cost of learning a new engine can be pretty high both financially and time-wise, and with the release schedule they seem to be required to have by nintendo, just might not be feasible. To be fair though, the pokemon games aren't necessarily the largest part of the money making machine that is pokemon, and while it definitely makes a good amount, in the total pie, it probably makes much less than merchandise, the card game, the anime, etc. and so the amount of funding they actually get to make the games is likely proportional to how much revenue it makes. Which kinda sucks, but they likely wouldn't fund the pokemon game dev for say 2 million when the games only bring in say 3.5 million when they could invest 2 million in all the other areas of merch and bring in say 5 million.

I can understand the arguments you have said but do remember that BOTW was also released with a ton and I mean ton of glitches and exploits inside of its game. It has its own problems. The switch out of all the other systems is not a powerful system. Take RE6 port. Heard it is horrible. Or the jump Force that had to drop way down in graphics as well to run on Switch. Also BOTW and Pokemon were both in different devoploment times as well. Pokemon Violet, Scarlet about 2yrs. BOTW about what...7yrs or so? Not defending its problems cause I have dealt with the drop frames and also the game crashing so far once out of nowhere but we gotta remember that BOTW had a lot of more time to be made and still got released in a glitch mess.

That's a fair point to look at it, there are games with *some* technical issues that I love such as the first Pikmin. However, having technical issues aren't excusable because of major and profitable Pokemon is as a game series. This is why I can find it hard to defend.

I feel people defend Pokémon because they have accepted that game freak will not put in the amount of heart they put in after DS era. But what you love the most is what you criticize brutally. Sadly Pokémon company has devolved into *insert I like money Mr.Krabs meme* knowing people will shovel out the money to buy it anyway and if it doesn’t sell well… then they will just copy and paste then call it a new game. I like the idea of what they were going with that they are finally branching out more (granted slowly) but they need to have more people on these projects and have more time. BOW has some minor frame rate issues but they are barely noticeable.

They split that in two so half could work on arceus and half could work on scarlet and violet. This is not enough devs man. Ontop of TPC aggressive marketing they have deadlines.
