As generations and generations of Pok\u00e9mon players slowly prepare themselves for the big grind, outlets like the Guardian, GamesRadar+, and Video Games Chronicle are far from happy with how the game panned out. Besides that, the game has already been doing poorly on Meta Critic, with a score of 78. The biggest reason why all three reviewers deemed Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet as a bad game lies in its performance issues. \u201cPok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet get so much completely right from a gameplay and story perspective. However, the technical aspects of the game need that same love, especially as the series presumably moves to the next hardware by the time of the next new generation,\u201d Video Game Chronicle said in a review today. The game is mainly suffering from sudden FPS drops, meaning your battle will sometimes look like a clunky slideshow. But that\u2019s not all, the game is also struggling with other technical issues like removing frames of animation from items in the distance. In the words of VG247 today: \u201cThe most common thing is frame culling (this is my term; our buds at Digital Foundry say it can also be described as \u2018time slicing\u2019, and say it\u2019s done to reduce CPU overhead). What it is, though, is when frames of animation are removed from items in the distance, resulting in stilted movement.\u201d When compared to the previous generations, Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet fails to meet the standard Nintendo has set for itself. To elaborate on how the game\u2019s technical issues are tanking its rating, we\u2019ll take a look at Metacritic scores from all generations.\u00a0 Game title Metacritic score (Critics Review) Pok\u00e9mon Ruby 82 Pok\u00e9mon Pearl 85 Pok\u00e9mon Black 87 Pok\u00e9mon X 87 Pok\u00e9mon Sun 87 Pok\u00e9mon Sword 80 As you can see, the Pok\u00e9mon franchise has a pristine record of consistently keeping up with player base expectations and the standards they have set.

As generations and generations of Pok\u00e9mon players slowly prepare themselves for the big grind, outlets like the Guardian, GamesRadar+, and Video Games Chronicle are far from happy with how the game panned out. Besides that, the game has already been doing poorly on Meta Critic, with a score of 78. The biggest reason why all three reviewers deemed Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet as a bad game lies in its performance issues. \u201cPok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet get so much completely right from a gameplay and story perspective. However, the technical aspects of the game need that same love, especially as the series presumably moves to the next hardware by the time of the next new generation,\u201d Video Game Chronicle said in a review today. The game is mainly suffering from sudden FPS drops, meaning your battle will sometimes look like a clunky slideshow. But that\u2019s not all, the game is also struggling with other technical issues like removing frames of animation from items in the distance. In the words of VG247 today: \u201cThe most common thing is frame culling (this is my term; our buds at Digital Foundry say it can also be described as \u2018time slicing\u2019, and say it\u2019s done to reduce CPU overhead). What it is, though, is when frames of animation are removed from items in the distance, resulting in stilted movement.\u201d When compared to the previous generations, Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet fails to meet the standard Nintendo has set for itself. To elaborate on how the game\u2019s technical issues are tanking its rating, we\u2019ll take a look at Metacritic scores from all generations.\u00a0 Game title Metacritic score (Critics Review) Pok\u00e9mon Ruby 82 Pok\u00e9mon Pearl 85 Pok\u00e9mon Black 87 Pok\u00e9mon X 87 Pok\u00e9mon Sun 87 Pok\u00e9mon Sword 80 As you can see, the Pok\u00e9mon franchise has a pristine record of consistently keeping up with player base expectations and the standards they have set. Unfortunately, Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet still has to solve pressing technical issues Nintendo plans on the game properly continuing the legacy of Pok\u00e9mon.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/08102557\/Pokemon_Scarlet_and_Pokemon_Violet_Screenshot_19-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736525"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736525"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":737134,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736525\/revisions\/737134"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736525"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=736525"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=736525"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=736525"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=736525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
