@jimpal_podcast I mean tbf if you took away any video game companies top 3 franchises they would likely be out of business as well. I have my fair share of problems with Nintendo but when it comes to Pokemon they largely operate independently. Does that need to change? most definitely

3) Nintendo Switch players may find that sometimes when they go to cross the finish line, something invisible blocks them. We are working on a fix for a future release, sorry about this and thank you for your patience!

@xjkappax I don't play either, but lauging at friends complaining and seeing the glitch videos. But it is sad, one would think Nintendo would do a better job polishing before release.

Nintendo is also now issuing refunds for the games performance issues you can ask for a refund and say "game wasn't up to your expectations" they knew there was gonna be backlash and without a apology almost after a week GameFreak did the same **** it did for Sw/Sh..

@Bonecrusher1022 @MitoRequiem Nintendo recently allowed their customer service people to refuse service to those who threaten them. There were replies saying Nintendo was in the wrong for that, bro ain't no way

@NarwhalQueenLis they've had an internal policy allowing every user a one-time exception on a game, whether it's because it's broken, they don't like it, or something else. So it's something that has always existed, but media is picking up on it as if Nintendo is exclusively offering for (2/3)

@PownicMania5000 Oof Nintendo knows how bad the tech is they're giving refunds like it's cyberpunk 2077. **** has to hit the fan now. Hopefully Nintendo sends in some engineers to fix the game and they start talks about the future of pokemon since TPC and GF are not keeping up with the times

@adom15510 I feel the same. From what I heard nintendo started offering refunds abroad and it got a user score of 2.9 which it deserves. Hope they take this hit and make time to fix their game

@kepthallowed @asgardianson @NintendoAmerica I don't see how the model is an issue since they all use the same hardware and cooling solutions. However, if you're playing docked, it's known that the switch gets a miniscule boost to power.

@kepthallowed @asgardianson @NintendoAmerica Im legit curious about the oleds preformance. I have a switch from when it first released and the frame drops are bad at times. Even had the game crash 3 times too. Still love the game to heaven and back but...wondering if I need to upgrade my console at this point.

@Ravenclaws4Life @PownicMania5000 If Nintendo, who has Zelda Breath of the Wild, hasn't patched it up after so long, GF, who is a complete lazy person, is going to fix his broken game xD

@AyakaMain5000 Well Nintendo doesn't seem to have a problem delaying games that need it. Look at zelda. So must be TPC

@NintendoAmerica This game is pure garbage all glitche plus end game that is supposed to be the raids garbage. Bad server's all lagging you get hit 3 times before you make a move besides spending 20 to 30 minutes just to get into a raid and I am wired and don't have internet issues

@omgitshacki @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon_cojp Yeah fr man, its really sad to see that the game performance is sooo mid, I didn’t had any issues so far for myself, but what I saw so far did give me a big yikes, I hope they finally listen and give the time to remake gen 5 for a good product

Since Nintendo is refunding people for #PokemonScarletViolet I guess they have to be planning a fix update for the performance at least

@HiccupJul @terryjanas The save memory thing is an interesting problem that any flash cart would have. Games had a choice of several different save chips, and those chips all worked differently. Even Nintendo’s official DS/DSi/3DS dev flash carts require attaching a save chip because it’s variable.

@7Resno @NostalgicItem It’s actually my favorite version of SMB1 but the problem with it is the screen resolution is too small, so you can’t see the whole play area. I wish Nintendo would release it with the original full 4:3 resolution

@onion_mu I'm going to take a wild, crazy guess and say that Nintendo management is talking about how they will fix these bugs. Something in the code is very messed up.

@_crumplofi @heatcrash_ Honestly the way the industry is now, releasing broken unfinished games has become a normal thing. Sad as that is. But to think they(Nintendo and Gamefreak) are some how above all of the industry to not even feel the need to address this is insane.

@Mangodragon847 I looked up and yeah, I see, what you mean. Well, it is Nintendo after all. Wait for some weeks, til a free update comes out, that fixes some of the problems. Maybe the free update in summer will fix all of the bugs.

@solitary_R1C3 @spectralsabs @NintendoAmerica Yeah cuz anyone having a different experience or opinion than you and genuinely enjoying a video game is either a shill, a liar, or "part of the problem." That's exactly why I don't take the SV haters seriously 🙄👋
