I’m sure you’ve heard that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were released in… kind of bad shape. While this might be a huge disappointment to most people spending nearly $100 on the game, it’s also a source of great fun on social media, where people are discovering that the new co-op multiplayer mode is very problematic indeed. We’re not sure exactly what’s causing these issues, but it seems that incorporating other players into cutscenes and traversal creates some really creepy body-horror. There are giant, stretched human bodies, horrendous arm-twisting weaknesses, and faces that go horribly wrong. Take a look: the two types of bugs…the funny and the…scary 💀#PokemonViolet #PokemonScarletViolet #PokemonScarlet pic.twitter.com/fCSmt21oTe— 🍓bun {squishy vtuber} (@strwbbbybun) November 19, 2019 , 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, twitter com/WQ2CuMDXrc — Yomi (@t_a_b_e_r_u) November 18, 2022 My character started stretching badly pic.twitter.com/VxDskfTBdt — GENIUS | fly wwww

It turns out you can place the selfie camera right up against a wall to make your character’s facial features pop, creating these nightmarish faces: Images: Nintendo Life / Kate Gray Even outside of multiplayer, there’s the potential for hilarious/deeply disturbing things to happen, because it looks like Pokémon can just, uh, slide into the abyss: “Look how cute these fawns are—OH MY GOD”#PokemonViolet pic.twitter.com/PSS28MZpdj— momo ᵕ̈♡︎ (@momoisgaming) November 18, 2022 Hogeta submerged in water wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww #Pokemon SV #Tchindo. 00sunaaYLY — Ariyoshi Ariyo (@Ari_yo_) November 17, 2022 And many players find that it’s very easy to go out of bounds themselves: love the game but jesus whooping/cutting should have extended the release date on #pokemon#PokemonScarletViolet #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/ibI4lEQbE8 — Aria (@ar_art_1) November 18, 2022 Some people are complaining that they can’t go inside the houses, but I don’t see the problem. pic.twitter.com/hinNvaUg6d — CLG ZFG (@zfg111) November 18, 2022 You can BLJ in this game #PokemonScarletViolet pic.twitter.com/HPSrmyfmfj — Phoenixrave (@PhoenixRaves) November 18, 2020 We can’t decide if we’d rather fix these glitches ASAP or figure out how to make them happen in our game so we can join in the fun.
