A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan has shared a clip online showcasing yet another hilarious glitch, with this one causing a player model's eyes to push several inches out of their heads for some reason. The latest entries to the beloved franchise have been out for almost a week now, but fans keep on discovering new and progressively more bizarre bugs in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet titles with each passing day.The new Generation 9 games have been the focus of much of the gaming community over the past week, and for reasons that aren't all good. It's no surprise at this point that Scarlet and Violet launched in a state that has garnered plenty of criticism from players, releasing with poor graphical quality, tons of performance issues and bugs. On the bright side, many of the game's bugs have been more ridiculous than game-breaking, so plenty of fans have enjoyed laughing over some of the glitches shared via clips on social media.One good example comes from a recent post on Twitter, which shares a clip of a truly hilarious - and somewhat disturbing - glitch which causes a player model's eyes to periodically burst several inches out of their face. This strange occurrence even continued as the player moved around, almost making it look as though they're scanning the surrounding area for items. The video gained a lot of traction on Twitter, with the original clip racking up almost 3 million views over the last couple of days since it was shared on the site. It remains uncertain what caused this hilarious bug in the first place, but it's certainly tickling many Pokemon players even if they can't replicate it themselves.
Despite Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's many shortcomings, many fans have made it clear that they're enjoying their journeys around the Paldea region perhaps more than they would've imagined, considering the frame rate drops and occasional crashes. Some players have gone so far as to claim that the new titles represent their new favorites in the entire series, suggesting that while they're not up to par on the technical side of things, Game Freak is apparently doing a good job in leading the franchise down new paths in terms of gameplay.
Still, the outrage from fans over the games' poor technical quality proves that the developers still have a ways to go if they hope to bring out the best from the Pokemon series. While it's still uncertain what plans The Pokemon Company has in store for the next few years, fans urge for measures to be taken with future developments to ensure that Pokemon titles never launch in this state again.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available on Nintendo Switch.
