Pokemon Violet is a stable game with no glitches at all

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet -- the new Generation 9 Pokemon games, are absolutely ridiculously broken. So, I decided to do a playthrough of the games while attempting to break the game in every single way I could. Enjoy the bugs!

If you feed sandwiches to your disobedient Pokémon until they love you (4 hearts), you can command them without badges. They also gain hearts as they win battles, get healed by items, and if they’re outside walking with you. So you can have a full team of lvl 50+ obedient Pokémon before you even get a single badge. This game is very balanced.

[@matteoar]

to break a lance in its defense, I like this. It lets you not do the gyms at all if you want to roleplay as someone that is not interested in badges without preventing you from, well, battling.

Well I can also just literally sweep the entire game with either fuecoco or sprigatito due to massive overleveling and insane offensive stats :P Just like any other pokemon game, if you are 10-15 levels higher than the oponent, it doesnt really matter anymore.

This is also one of those games where you KNOW there will be some wacky stuff discovered about it for a very long time.

my least favorite glitch is the whole “Pokémon spawn in the walls” thing. Combined with the fact that shinies don’t sparkle when spawning nor do they make the sparkle sound, it just makes non-Masuda hunting almost impossible (also it lags the game)

[@dabonthatnae]

you can send your pokemon out to fight other pokemon, it won't attack a shiny. that's how people have found some of the hard to spot ones. but a lot of shinies are blatantly obvious when you see them. like bright green etc.

[@TheSuperHumanHimself]

I even hate when there is a Pokémon in the grass tufts you can find because they can hide in it and if you don’t see it or see that it’s shiny you could miss one

[@koolaiddude7685894]

I mean.....it could be mesuda only lol I've found more shiny pokemon in this game than in all the other games combined. So

[@zachm6681]

Yeah, Pokémon spawning in walls is bad…but shiny hunting in this game is not “almost impossible” lol I literally have all of my version’s paradox forms shiny and it did not take any effort

[@itmightbevid]

There are shiny hunting methods that make wild hunts just as easy as egg hunts, and sometimes faster too. Depending on the shiny sometimes you need to deeply check if a pokemon is shiny, but I’ve also done hunts where I can see just 4 different colored pixels (like wooper, i saw it despite it being very tiny).

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

"We, the faculty and staff at Uva Academy, can't wait to welcome you with open arms" and they proceed to T-pose...when they say open arms, they really mean it. Even if the games are broken, at least the story and soundtrack is elite, because that flute for the West Province theme at 14:44 goes hard. Not to mention Toby Fox did some of the music too like the Academy Ace Tournament and Tera Raid battles. I enjoy the Gym leaders' designs, and that they have lives outside the Gym. Especially the fact Larry makes the Gym test hard on purpose (as during the test, there are other trainers trying to figure it out) so he could eat in peace.

I see what your feelings are about this game, but it makes me so sick that Gamefreak did not even try to make this game look or feel good. I played it because i love the classic pokemon feeling, but i stopped because the switch has good hardware but the game is so bad optimized, like every frame shouts at me: PLEAAAASE HELP ME! Its so sad that in the old pokemon games, these games are the francise. But nowadays, the games are a gimmick to the franchise and they arent the essentials anymore.

[@lordnoobiest6578]

@@normanjedi-ritter3861 this is truly a Pokémon game of all time

[@ellespoonies]

@@normanjedi-ritter3861 Honestly, I feel like the devs did try, but they were basically shafted by GameFreak. You can tell the devs want to do cool things and listen to fans feedback, you can see it in the cool QOL changes or even with the character customization changes, but you can also see they’re forced to cut things out (like clothing customization or how breeding was reworked) and they clearly don’t have time to make a better engine or even do proper bug testing or optimization, let alone take the time to make sure the skin tones are the same as previous games or the cutscenes were properly rendered (neither were). GameFreak refuses to delay games for better results, they set their deadlines unrealistically soon and don’t care how the games suffer as a result because they know fans will buy the games regardless even if just to make fun of it. They don’t care if the game is purchased genuinely or out of malice, I don’t even truly believe they care what the critiques are, they only really care whether they continue to either grow or maintain their profits from this series. They’d rather simply patch the game after release than slow down on the production of games, and eventually that’s going to screw them over. They’re only going to change when they get dramatically less sales or their dev team begins to either quit or rebel, and I don’t think we’re that far off from one of the two happening. Even then, it’ll only be to save face.

I’m surprised the legendaries aren’t bug type

Me: Yeah Bug types are pretty rad like Genes-! Lmao you caught me

I would just like to bring to people's attention what is happening with the frame rate: More distant 3D models are being rendered dynamically at a slower rate to ensure that the players own movement is updated at a reasonable rate. The framerate without this feature would be the average of all characters on screen. Looking at character and level design. 1. Looking at the NPC textures, even up really close there seems to be little sign of pixelation (not to be confused with the jagged lines between textures due to no anti-aliasing). 2. There are often dozens of NPCs/Pokemon on screen at a time. 3. The environments are often large and cluttered with the vast majority set outside (they litterally moved the pokemart and pokemon centre outside). 4. The player is able to move around at high speeds. 5. The game has dynamic lighting and reflections. The game's actual framerate is actually quite smooth and rarely drops even when moving fast. This isn't lazy programming, this is damage control making an otherwise unplayable game playable at the expense of most NPCs looking weird.

From my point of view, heavily hyped games have a sort of "honeymoon phase" around release date where one sees it through rose tinted glasses. Then once enough time passes, the more questionnable decisions and oversights become more apparent, usually during the game's midpoint, a second playthrough or new game +. For example, I remember both myself and others thinking the Revelations route of Fire Emblem Fates had the best story but nowadays it makes me wish the Nohr royals were more relevant to the plot as even Garon gets unceremoniously killed off. Open world games in particular seem to be extremely prone to this as a result of being hyped up as being inherently better than linear games while also being very unstable in unintentionally funny ways.

I'm one of the few remaining Fossil Fighters fans, and I can tell you that when FF Frontiers (the worst one that killed the franchise) released, I overlooked A LOT. I was really excited for it since FF1 and FFC were a huge part of my childhood, but the moment I stopped playing and took a few days off, I realized how many characters they gutted and how many shoddy redesigns and braindead gameplay decisions were made. For people who don't know, the first two games were made for the DS, but Frontiers was made for the 3DS. At its height, FF had 173 fully modeled obtainable characters you could use in teams of 3. Frontiers barely had 100, and that's including the models that were just palette swaps intended to be "regional variants." You know what the worst part was? They only let the player directly control ONE party member, and made the other two Ai piloted from a limited pool of pre-selected characters. I think it should go without saying, but if your previous game running on INFERIOR HARDWARE can have triple the content and outshine you graphically, then you've failed.

The worst part of this is that a lot of the reviews are from or a little after the game's release, so the game gets an undeserving score because people didn't had the time to stew on the game and let it sit for a while before they made a final judgment. It's why i don't take reviews on release seriously, even if they are glowing.

I remember the time when I was trying hard to find glitches and Missingno in red and blue. Nowadays the game itself is a glitch with Pokemon as features.

[@kmart1396]

I've seen a couple glitch compilation videos that have been making their rounds on the web and one my favorites is just Fuecoco spinning like a top but like at mach speeds. Dizzy little fire croc!!

[@clearvision1424]

Another good thing about this game is that I can see how many Shinies I've encountered. That way I can keep track of how many times I've been an oblivious idiot.
