Having some frankly ridiculous performance issues though. It *is* bad. I would have waited longer to enjoy a game that doesn't make my Pokemon look like they're levitating for no reason pic.twitter.com/z7UDaYXj15

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have great gameplay…but it's seriously bogged down by horrible graphics issues. They take gamers out of the experience. "Students kicking legs under desk" shouldn't cause this much frame rate issues.

Pokemon Scarlet has major performance issues on the actual hardware and this is too funny. Running around in the world I get major frame drops. Entities just popping into existence. This is a joke pic.twitter.com/R6Oc5VNhi9
