Also which starter did you go with? Check the last page showing the main difference, the special Pokémon you get is your mount, and the Scarlet one is some horse thing with wheels that don’t move? I went Violet. Quaxley is my boy but man I really do like both of the others in this one so I’ll have to find them. And no worries that makes sense! It’s close enough for me lol but ya something about pokémon on the holidays. I only got into them with the Switch actually but still they feel like such a christmas season game to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Lol, the first one gives me flash backs of an old NES mega man cheat/glitch where if you plugged in a second controller and had the jump button pushed down on it, you could jump twice as high.

The only thing stopping me from doing that is that I really like ceruledge so I'm all set with a fire Pokemon in my playthrough. I'll probably abuse wonder trade post game.

stepee Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 While I’m surprised it took until now to give attention to how bad the tech is with these it is good it finally hit a tipping point and is getting a lot of coverage about it. I hope that is enough to inspire them to improve their tech department and maybe get help from one of Nintendo’s teams. I’m not going to hold my breath, but it would be nice!

crispy4000 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Never played Sword and Shield, but with the way people described them, you’d think they’d look like this.

EternallDarkness Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 There are definitely performance issues. I mean the frame rate for people walking in the background in the cities looks like 3-4 FPS but in the end it's still fun. I do wish they would add a default defend move.

The wild area was significantly worse. First, the entire zone looked like a shitty N64 game. It was completely barren of anything interesting, was much smaller than this, and had massive stuttering every quarter second due to loading in a bunch of fake player ghosts that served no purpose other than to make it run like shit. On second thought, I think the ghosts might've been there to make it seem less desolate. Because you could disconnect from the internet and the place would at least run smoother, and be completely empty and depressing. This game at least "earns" running and looking like shit, to some small degree, in that it is absolutely packed with NPCs and Pokemon of all shapes and sizes and terrain that is varied without loading screens like Arceus (which had a way better art style on top of a much better performance/tech profile... but was still quite disappointingly ugly) or without the hallway-design constraints of most of Sword/Shield. All of this in the context of it being a Game Freak title, of course. Outside of that narrow vacuum this is all unforgivably bad. Further, they actually released a game this generation that looked AND ran well! Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu. They had a very solid, pristine art style that was cute and lively, and the games ran, well, not buttery smooth, but if this is butter after falling in gravel, those games were like after butter fell in some powdered sugar. Mostly fine, and significantly better than this. It feels like it was done by a different team and I believe that team is in charge of this game's DLC, so maybe they can fucking fix something. I hope. Anyway, the game has an amazing weather system! Check out my footage! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Another minor grievance I have with Scarlet and Violet is that Spoiler Bisharp finally has an evolution, which is nice, and since it's based on a Bishop from chess, just like its pre-evolved form is based on a Pawn, I always thought it would be cool to get gender specific evolutions to continue the chess theme, so a Queen for female Bisharps, and a King for male Bisharps, but there is only one evolution, and it's only based on a King, and isn't gender exclusive, which just seems like a hugely missed opportunity.
