A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player shared a hilarious clip where they accidentally fell off the map. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet just launched, and some players have reported encountering performance issues and bugs during their gameplay.After much anticipation on their launch, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are getting mixed reactions from players. While many seem to be excited about the Generation 9 Pokemon, initial reviews of the games showed multiple negative responses. As a result, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet became the lowest-rated games in the franchise.Months before the games' launch, players have expressed concern over Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's performance struggles. Now, players have started to share their buggy gameplay on social media. One clip came from Twitter user KrakenMare77, where they fell through the ground after sliding off a cliff. They showed their character going underground, and even got the prompts that they arrived at Inlet Grotto and Poco Path. According to KrakenMare77, they managed to teleport back up after the incident.
Other players in the replies found the clip hilarious, with one sharing a similar experience where they fell off the map while riding their Koraidon. There were also players joking that KrakenMare77 could finally see what Digletts really look like underground. Meanwhile, some expressed their disappointment, noting that they've seen only negative reactions and buggy clips since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were expected to be one of the biggest releases of this year. The trailers showcasing the new Generation 9 Pokemon and Paldea region, as well as merch reveals, excited fans in the months leading up to the launch. Even streaming platform Twitch joined in the fun and turned Lechonk into a global emote to celebrate the games' release. So, it's understandably disappointing to see the games' issues upon launch. There also seems to be no word from Nintendo and Game Freak about possible fixes.
Despite the criticism, fans are still getting their hands on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The #PokemonScarletViolet hashtag on Twitter is filled with screenshots from the game, which mostly include in-game selfies with various Pokemon. Many players are also showing love towards their chosen Pokemon starter, and sharing their gym victories. If Nintendo and Game Freak would address the games' issues in the near future, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will have the potential to be a fun experience for Pokemon fans.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for the Nintendo Switch.
