The most unfortunate truth is that even with potential future patches, the damage has already been done. It's just like how you described BDSP's issues. 10 or so years down the line, we will most likely be without internet connectivity on the Switch. Meaning no more patch downloading, meaning Version 1.0 for life, meaning (without a lot of help) we will be stuck with all of the bugs.
Meaning don't buy the physical 1.0 cart, hold out for the inevitable physical "+Expansion Pass" cart that hopefully has the patches on the cart as well as the DLC.

Pokemon fans deserve the slop Gamefreak serves them. If this is the standard they accept then it's the standard they deserve. Maybe one day they'll put some effort into a game and stop taking their audience for granted, but with the sales success of this game it seems they really can take them for granted.
Pokemon fans don't even care, they just do stupid reasoning on why the game turn out this state. "Oh it's because the switch port runs less better than on console, that's also the same reason why they can't do voice acting despite being a multi BILLION dollar company"🤓🤓🤓
I love that this game is the byproduct of Sword and Shield doing well with glitches and laziness all around. Back in 2019 the 'toxic' Bring Back National Dex movement was 100% right.
Wow! That Luxray at 2:42 looks SO messed up that I thought it was a new form at first glance! There's no way I'm buying these games until I see improvements made! And I want these improvements to be made as free updates instead of paid DLCs or else I'm just going to forget about this! Update: So, from what I saw in another video, they're updating the game today to fix several bugs and are actually acknowledging our issues with the games, which is highly appreciated! This is why criticism is very important!
Yeah that's my luxray right there. It's supposed to be dirt, since pokemon can get dirty after they auto battle for too long. But in my case it just loads the texture of whatever pokemon was murdered last.
I always love that, even with all the technical problems this game came out with, many and i mean MANY pokemon fans still say this is one of the best pokemon games of all time. Also, i love when those "fans" use the excuse of "see guys the game is really good, just look at the sales!" Only to justify the quality of the game. And no. Sales does not indicate the quality of any game. If that were the case the FIFA and call of duty games would be considered among the best games of all time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISTANT, thank you for the content and keep it up!
Well, I love the game, there's really no excuse for the shitty optimizations but it's a really fun game with a good story and great multiplayer features to play with friends and for me thats the most important part.
@@miguelarbelaez906 That doesn't outshine the negative aspect that's poisoning this games. I can't believe Game Freak removed the option to have the battles on "set". Which goes to show that newer doesn't always mean better. So long as they're cutting corners to maximize profit earnings.
@@UnwantedGhost1 I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that for me what makes a game good is how much I enjoy playing it, and that's 100% my personal opinion.
Game does look and run like shit, but I'd say I've definitely gotten $60 worth of entertainment out of it after finishing the dex today. I do not regret the purchase, even though I am probably as critical of the games flaws as anyone else watching this video. Mainline pokemon is just such a safe pick and I wouldn't want to skip a gen and buy a different $60 game I'll probably barely touch, which I've done plenty of times. For example, I bought P5R in October and have 5x the playtime on Violet already. The only other Switch game I have that can match the playtime I had on Shield was BotW, and I've owned pretty much every AAA Switch game.
Like even completely ignoring the eye pop bug at 1:00 look at the 5 FPS windmill in the back. That's some Elder Scrolls Oblivion shit right there lmao.
That belongs to Legends Arceus. And even then, people ignore the flaws of that game. The Grass/flower assets have a seizure during battle (it's why mandatory battles take place in areas without those assets) models pop in and out of existence, and Shiny Giratina transferred from HOME using Shadow Force causes the game to crash.
@@Tobunari While I can appreciate the efforts they went to make something different with that game, the battle system is too watered down for me to consider it the best
"Pokemon Violet 2077" Sad part is, when you point all this out, the apologists will be all like "Well I didn't see any of these bugs" and say you're nitpicking.
1:16 I don't understand why this clip is always shown in videos showcasing the glitches of this game. This is clearly not a bug. It's just another player who stood at the perfect spot at the right time.
That's not going to help them. The issue is how they make the games. It's been proven with datamining and everything that they just build the games off the old ones. These games were built off of Legends Arceus, which was built off of Sword and Shield, which was built off of Sun/Moon, which was built off of XYORAS, which was built off of BWB2W2, which was built off of DPPtHGSS, which was built off of RSEFRLG. You can tell because every game's big key items are found in the code from the last generation. Diamond and Pearl had the Eon Ticket, Black and White had the Azure Flute, XY had the Liberty Ticket, etc. This was done primarily for compatibility because they don't want another Gen 2 to Gen 3 situation again, but at the same time they've since stopped the main reason why people want the compatibility in the first place (transferring their favorites onward to use in the new games) by not programming all the Pokémon in. So now why do we have compatibility when all it's done is make the games terrible?
@@4horsemenoftheapocalypse58 Well now HOME, but what good is having a service to store Pokémon if they can't go into an actual game? Did you know several Unova Pokémon have never made the jump to the Switch? 2/3rds of the Starters, the Elemental Monkeys, Lillipup's line, Munna's line. Even Kalos Pokémon like Furfrou aren't allowed, which means that collecting the various trims is only available through GO.
sorry for my english I still remember how pokemon used to be a very big part in my life, how I used to search for trailers,leaks, OST, interviews... I loved pokemon since pokemon red on gameboy but man oh man gamefreak really doesn't give a shit
It's the distance. They reduced polygons to save framerates. This was also in SM64 where the Mario model was put in a low quality version when far away from the camera to save FPS
7 months later and I STILL cannot fathom how tf they launched the game in this condition and it sold 10 million copies in 3 days. This should be illegal
@@elinfini omg fuckin smt 5 is sooo good in comparison, i mean i know it got like 5+ year of development but still every animation is crip with barely any bug on launch
I like to imagine these glitches are breaks in reality due to the existence of paradoxical creatures like Koraidon and Miraidon simply living in the present and unintentionally messing up reality
these people make more money than the entire marvel/Disney universe combined. IF there was a studio that could walk into Nintendo HQ and DEMAND a delay, it's them.
I think a good comparison of the Pokemon series would be bread. Gen 3, i think, would be a plain bagel. An empty canvas, but that's where third-party customization comes in. Everything seasoning, cream cheese, butter, change the type of dough used, etc. Gen 6, the bread has lost some color and flavor somehow, but it's still bread. Gen 8, half the loaf is raw and the other is burnt. Gen 9, they just straight up handed us raw bread dough with clumps of flour visible.
I genuinely think there's a good game buried under all this crap. It's really a shame, this is a studio that consistently has the some largest launches in game history, and yet they somehow don't have the budget to have people just iron out bug fixes and especially performance issues before release or at the very least a day one patch? It's embarrassing. They need to be held to a higher standard.
The company is absolutely horrible about optimization in all their games, even in the Gameboy era, gen 2 was an exception because Nintendo's former president came in and optimized the entire game allowing for two regions to fit in one game, however going forward Game Freak would not learn how to do this and refuses to have any other company take over
@@denvervandrey2883 They outsourced the Gen 4 remakes to ILCA, the DQXI people, but apparently micromanaged them into the ground. Hopefully the Gen 5 remakes are outsourced to Monolith Soft minus the executive meddling.
@@autobotstarscream765 "but apparently micromanaged them into the ground" I've seen what those people can do when they can spread their wings, I 100% believe this with all my heart!
Not that they don't have the budget. They are actually v e r y g r e e d y. They don't want to hire more people and don't want to use more budget. Releasing 3 pokemon games in less than a year? It is way to obvious they want as much money as possible while milking pokemon hard.
One thing I don't get is why people can't just enjoy the game without ignoring actual problems it had at launch. The amount of copium people have when defending these issues is astounding.
Because the mindset seems to follow: You either like Pokemon, in which case there are no problems and the game is perfect. Or, you hate it, and thereby any and all criticism is invalid. I started off rather disappointed by these games, but the more I played, the more it ramped up. But it's impossible to deny, these games have major problems. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial, but that doesn't mean you're not free to enjoy what you want.
@@Kohchu I feel the same way about Legends Arceus but everyone seems to ignore all the flaws from that game. Granted Scarlet and Violet are undoubtedly worse. I argued with someone about how the plant assets have a seizure when in a battle and that in the mandatory fights there isn't additional plant assets around. Guy literally said that oh GameFreak did a great job optimizing it because if that. If GameFreak did such a great job they wouldn't need to set mandatory battles in featureless terrain. I get that Legends Arceus is the "golden child" but it doesn't even account for a Shiny Giratina using Shadow Force and crashes the game if it attempts it.
@@Tobunari I wouldn't say Arceus is perfect, it has it's flaws. But in terms of what it accomplished, I do feel it is the proper way to proceed. It just needed more time, and more polish to have all the issues worked out, and maybe incorporate a multiplayer component separate from the main game. Scarlet and Violet did learn some things from Legends Arceus, but it's got big shoes to fill, and it's rushed launch left it feeling in a sad state. If they'd just held it back a year, it probably wouldn't be in the glitchy, awkward state it's in. But they absolutely refuse to do that.
@@Kohchu They've been releasing games in November for nearly a decade. They should know th time frame of when they release games. It seems less rushed and more that this is just how they make games. Also, I wouldn't say Legends Arceus would be the proper way to proceed. It had its own direction that fit the best for what it did: it made sense to catch Pokémon without battling them because the Pokédex would've be complete with just one specimen caught. And Legends needed more NPCs to battle.
The only thing I miss about Sw/Sh is my Linoone, Bandito. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm attached to my little friend. So, naturally, he is probably NEVER going to be transferable to another region.
2:58 You're welcome for that one and nice sound effects lol This was my footage of the base game that they sold as a finished product. The fact that they sold this in this state, people are okay with this, and they are still gonna lock mons behind a paywall is unforgiveable. If they had brought the NatDex back it'd be one thing, but all of this and still a culled Dex is appalling. I have the full footage with sound if you want it btw
If you could really land on the backrooms, that would actually be cool, because at least the game would have a single interesting thing appening in it.
Sword and Shield should have been the wake up call to the Pokemon company that rushing Pokemon games is a terrible idea. Guess they never learn and I bet we'll get to enjoy more of the same moving forward given how much Scarlet and Violet sold

1:26 I don't want to play with you anymore.
I'm wheezing this comment needs more attention..
1:35 This had me in tears
Reminder that Yo-Kai Watch 3 is a monster collector with 752 monsters in one game after all its free DLC that doesn't suffer from as many bugs, glitches or bad animation as this. Way better game easily.
And it's on 3DS, along with Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon which have 807 monsters, don't suffer from as many bugs, glitches, or bad animations as SV, and they also have ya boi Hau!
Yo-Kai Watch 4 English release when?
I mean be transparent, half of them are recolors lol
Not only that, the game has a million things to do and an entire side game (blasters) to play inside it.
Pokemon models being in a mario 64 low poly in a recent addition like SV actually looks really adorable
Todd Howard: "It just works."
Game Freak: "Hold my beer."
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of that song,
If you search for "it just works pokemon" you should be able to find a Pokemon version of that song that came out during the SwSh prerelease fiasco. It's quite funny actually.
1:02 “YOU CAN’T HIDE ANYTHING FROM ME I SEE THOUGH YOUR LIES!”
The music at the start killed me 😭. What a well polished and totally not laggy experience.
Pokemon fans deserve the slop Gamefreak serves them. If this is the standard they accept then it's the standard they deserve.
Maybe one day they'll put some effort into a game and stop taking their audience for granted, but with the sales success of this game it seems they really can take them for granted.
Pokemon fans don't even care, they just do stupid reasoning on why the game turn out this state. "Oh it's because the switch port runs less better than on console, that's also the same reason why they can't do voice acting despite being a multi BILLION dollar company"🤓🤓🤓
I love that this game is the byproduct of Sword and Shield doing well with glitches and laziness all around.
Back in 2019 the 'toxic' Bring Back National Dex movement was 100% right.
Remember when everyone doing BBND was just an "alarmist" and "not letting anyone have fun"? Yeah...
@@punkysnarks and we STILL have only 400 pokémon base game. let’s do the time warp again
Wow! That Luxray at 2:42 looks SO messed up that I thought it was a new form at first glance!
There's no way I'm buying these games until I see improvements made! And I want these improvements to be made as free updates instead of paid DLCs or else I'm just going to forget about this!
Update: So, from what I saw in another video, they're updating the game today to fix several bugs and are actually acknowledging our issues with the games, which is highly appreciated! This is why criticism is very important!
Same i was like damn this new form is kinda ugly
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that 😭
Yeah same here. I thought it is some regional form 😅
Yeah that's my luxray right there. It's supposed to be dirt, since pokemon can get dirty after they auto battle for too long. But in my case it just loads the texture of whatever pokemon was murdered last.
Yeah I thought it was just one of those mods for the game LOL
Ah yes the higher quality animations
I mean, they ARE better... when they work XD
Never thought I'd lose faith in pokemon but this game might've done it
I always love that, even with all the technical problems this game came out with, many and i mean MANY pokemon fans still say this is one of the best pokemon games of all time. Also, i love when those "fans" use the excuse of "see guys the game is really good, just look at the sales!" Only to justify the quality of the game. And no. Sales does not indicate the quality of any game. If that were the case the FIFA and call of duty games would be considered among the best games of all time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISTANT, thank you for the content and keep it up!
Well, I love the game, there's really no excuse for the shitty optimizations but it's a really fun game with a good story and great multiplayer features to play with friends and for me thats the most important part.
High quantity does not equate to high quality. Not even close for this franchise nowadays.
@@miguelarbelaez906 That doesn't outshine the negative aspect that's poisoning this games. I can't believe Game Freak removed the option to have the battles on "set". Which goes to show that newer doesn't always mean better. So long as they're cutting corners to maximize profit earnings.
@@UnwantedGhost1 I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that for me what makes a game good is how much I enjoy playing it, and that's 100% my personal opinion.
Game does look and run like shit, but I'd say I've definitely gotten $60 worth of entertainment out of it after finishing the dex today. I do not regret the purchase, even though I am probably as critical of the games flaws as anyone else watching this video. Mainline pokemon is just such a safe pick and I wouldn't want to skip a gen and buy a different $60 game I'll probably barely touch, which I've done plenty of times. For example, I bought P5R in October and have 5x the playtime on Violet already. The only other Switch game I have that can match the playtime I had on Shield was BotW, and I've owned pretty much every AAA Switch game.
Like even completely ignoring the eye pop bug at 1:00 look at the 5 FPS windmill in the back. That's some Elder Scrolls Oblivion shit right there lmao.
Kids making animatics in Flipaclip like
Crazy that this is somehow the best Pokemon game in like a decade
makes it even funnier lol
That belongs to Legends Arceus.
And even then, people ignore the flaws of that game.
The Grass/flower assets have a seizure during battle (it's why mandatory battles take place in areas without those assets) models pop in and out of existence, and Shiny Giratina transferred from HOME using Shadow Force causes the game to crash.
The content is so good and different… however the quality…. I literally crashed from catching a Pokémon yesterday… 🤣
@@Tobunari While I can appreciate the efforts they went to make something different with that game, the battle system is too watered down for me to consider it the best
@@zygoat2369 Not my opinion, that's just the concensus for the community. Even from DistantKingdom.
"Pokemon Violet 2077"
Sad part is, when you point all this out, the apologists will be all like "Well I didn't see any of these bugs" and say you're nitpicking.
right?
there's so many apologists that it's insane
Literally just had a GamefrEAk shill doing just that.
Seeing Hau in the end always makes me sad, because it reminds me of the quality the series has long departed from.
Gen 10 prediction:
Pokemon RedRing and Pokemon BlueScreen
And then Pokemon YellowLight.
1:16 I don't understand why this clip is always shown in videos showcasing the glitches of this game. This is clearly not a bug. It's just another player who stood at the perfect spot at the right time.
They need to make mainline pokemon games every 3-5 years with spinoffs in between
That's not going to help them.
The issue is how they make the games. It's been proven with datamining and everything that they just build the games off the old ones.
These games were built off of Legends Arceus, which was built off of Sword and Shield, which was built off of Sun/Moon, which was built off of XYORAS, which was built off of BWB2W2, which was built off of DPPtHGSS, which was built off of RSEFRLG.
You can tell because every game's big key items are found in the code from the last generation. Diamond and Pearl had the Eon Ticket, Black and White had the Azure Flute, XY had the Liberty Ticket, etc.
This was done primarily for compatibility because they don't want another Gen 2 to Gen 3 situation again, but at the same time they've since stopped the main reason why people want the compatibility in the first place (transferring their favorites onward to use in the new games) by not programming all the Pokémon in.
So now why do we have compatibility when all it's done is make the games terrible?
@@Tobunari Isn't that what Poke bank is for?
@@4horsemenoftheapocalypse58 Well now HOME, but what good is having a service to store Pokémon if they can't go into an actual game?
Did you know several Unova Pokémon have never made the jump to the Switch? 2/3rds of the Starters, the Elemental Monkeys, Lillipup's line, Munna's line.
Even Kalos Pokémon like Furfrou aren't allowed, which means that collecting the various trims is only available through GO.
No, just 5 years.
You sure about that? Arceus was in production at the same time.

sorry for my english
I still remember how pokemon used to be a very big part in my life, how I used to search for trailers,leaks, OST, interviews... I loved pokemon since pokemon red on gameboy but man oh man gamefreak really doesn't give a shit
Best pokemon game ever they say
I dont know about best, but its definitely one of the pokemon game of all time
"tHe gLiTcHeS mAkE iT eVeN mOrE fUn 🤡🤓"

-ORAS and SM were not bad come on-
Better than HGSS and B2W2.
@@xlbthedemigod5662 nice bait
1:10 this one was too much
0:33 what did they do to my boy torkoal 😭
it's so tragic
It's the distance. They reduced polygons to save framerates.
This was also in SM64 where the Mario model was put in a low quality version when far away from the camera to save FPS
Finally a return to the magic of gen 1 😌
What? Gen 1 didn't have that many bugs. You definitely mean missingno, but other than that, not many bugs.
@@theunpopulargamingchannel2116No, it had bugs. A lot. Of bugs.

This fangame looks pretty good. I'll pick it up when it's out of early access.
0:38 "You don't get to see -"
I mean They weren't wrong.
7 months later and I STILL cannot fathom how tf they launched the game in this condition and it sold 10 million copies in 3 days. This should be illegal
0:48 IS THIS REAL?!!? LMAO
The low poly models crack me up. Every time I see one I'm like "now I know what it'd look like in a Stadium hack!"
this shit is embarassing but low-poly grafaifai is adorable i can’t lie though
"Hopefully it will be fixed in a full price DLC" Nintendrones
The eye popping glitch has to he one of the funniest glitches of all time. All the way up there with SHAUUUUUNNNNNN
I like how the first dlc just dropped and none of these glitches or problems have been fixed and in some cases it’s worse
As of now (I'm at the pokemon league) I only saw waterfall camera glitch and see through floor one, I think I'm very lucky 😅
2:20 This one actually made me laugh out loud.
im baffled how we still dont have a dodging animation
Even SMTV got that right.
@@elinfini omg fuckin smt 5 is sooo good in comparison, i mean i know it got like 5+ year of development but still every animation is crip with barely any bug on launch
Sonic 06: I never tought that nintendo would make a game inspired in me.
I like to imagine these glitches are breaks in reality due to the existence of paradoxical creatures like Koraidon and Miraidon simply living in the present and unintentionally messing up reality
these people make more money than the entire marvel/Disney universe combined. IF there was a studio that could walk into Nintendo HQ and DEMAND a delay, it's them.
I keep seeing Pokémon fans defending this & claiming anyone that criticizes this mess is a “hater.” How embarrassing.
Hell they already called the reviews “review bombing,” from both critics and users
I'm from the other side, don't open the portal, I repeat DON'T OPEN THE POR
I think a good comparison of the Pokemon series would be bread.
Gen 3, i think, would be a plain bagel. An empty canvas, but that's where third-party customization comes in. Everything seasoning, cream cheese, butter, change the type of dough used, etc.
Gen 6, the bread has lost some color and flavor somehow, but it's still bread.
Gen 8, half the loaf is raw and the other is burnt.
Gen 9, they just straight up handed us raw bread dough with clumps of flour visible.
What about Gen 4
0:33 bruhh it looks like a pokemon rumble character...
Fuecoco just absent mindedly spinning around a ball is the game's best animation and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I genuinely think there's a good game buried under all this crap. It's really a shame, this is a studio that consistently has the some largest launches in game history, and yet they somehow don't have the budget to have people just iron out bug fixes and especially performance issues before release or at the very least a day one patch? It's embarrassing. They need to be held to a higher standard.
The company is absolutely horrible about optimization in all their games, even in the Gameboy era, gen 2 was an exception because Nintendo's former president came in and optimized the entire game allowing for two regions to fit in one game, however going forward Game Freak would not learn how to do this and refuses to have any other company take over
@@denvervandrey2883 They outsourced the Gen 4 remakes to ILCA, the DQXI people, but apparently micromanaged them into the ground. Hopefully the Gen 5 remakes are outsourced to Monolith Soft minus the executive meddling.
@@autobotstarscream765 "but apparently micromanaged them into the ground"
I've seen what those people can do when they can spread their wings, I 100% believe this with all my heart!
Not that they don't have the budget. They are actually v e r y g r e e d y. They don't want to hire more people and don't want to use more budget. Releasing 3 pokemon games in less than a year? It is way to obvious they want as much money as possible while milking pokemon hard.
@@TheGreatBackUpVIDEOS ILCA made Dragon Quest XI without Thanosuda's "help", so...
One thing I don't get is why people can't just enjoy the game without ignoring actual problems it had at launch. The amount of copium people have when defending these issues is astounding.
Yeah, agreed.
Because the mindset seems to follow: You either like Pokemon, in which case there are no problems and the game is perfect. Or, you hate it, and thereby any and all criticism is invalid.
I started off rather disappointed by these games, but the more I played, the more it ramped up. But it's impossible to deny, these games have major problems. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial, but that doesn't mean you're not free to enjoy what you want.
@@Kohchu I feel the same way about Legends Arceus but everyone seems to ignore all the flaws from that game.
Granted Scarlet and Violet are undoubtedly worse.
I argued with someone about how the plant assets have a seizure when in a battle and that in the mandatory fights there isn't additional plant assets around. Guy literally said that oh GameFreak did a great job optimizing it because if that. If GameFreak did such a great job they wouldn't need to set mandatory battles in featureless terrain.
I get that Legends Arceus is the "golden child" but it doesn't even account for a Shiny Giratina using Shadow Force and crashes the game if it attempts it.
@@Tobunari I wouldn't say Arceus is perfect, it has it's flaws. But in terms of what it accomplished, I do feel it is the proper way to proceed. It just needed more time, and more polish to have all the issues worked out, and maybe incorporate a multiplayer component separate from the main game.
Scarlet and Violet did learn some things from Legends Arceus, but it's got big shoes to fill, and it's rushed launch left it feeling in a sad state. If they'd just held it back a year, it probably wouldn't be in the glitchy, awkward state it's in. But they absolutely refuse to do that.
@@Kohchu They've been releasing games in November for nearly a decade. They should know th time frame of when they release games. It seems less rushed and more that this is just how they make games.
Also, I wouldn't say Legends Arceus would be the proper way to proceed. It had its own direction that fit the best for what it did: it made sense to catch Pokémon without battling them because the Pokédex would've be complete with just one specimen caught. And Legends needed more NPCs to battle.

This was my footage of the base game that they sold as a finished product. The fact that they sold this in this state, people are okay with this, and they are still gonna lock mons behind a paywall is unforgiveable. If they had brought the NatDex back it'd be one thing, but all of this and still a culled Dex is appalling.

From Arceus to this 😓 just the let the fangames live nintendo 🙏
Fangames can live....
You just can't make too much noise about it. 🤐
I know someone who told me, "yeah it's buggy and look ugly, but it doesn't matter. It's so much fun." Smh
Wasn't Pokémon inspired by Satoshi Tajiri, who loved collecting bugs? I'm pretty sure he didn't meant the game bugs...
If you could really land on the backrooms, that would actually be cool, because at least the game would have a single interesting thing appening in it.
Sword and Shield should have been the wake up call to the Pokemon company that rushing Pokemon games is a terrible idea.
Guess they never learn and I bet we'll get to enjoy more of the same moving forward given how much Scarlet and Violet sold
