It’s no secret that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are pretty darn glitchy — understatement of the century, right? Just ask anyone currently free-falling through the Paldea region.
Yes, this is arguably the roughest launch in the Pokémon franchise’s 26-year history. Trainers are zooming around on invisible scooters, clipping through walls like Kitty Pryde, and spinning around as if there’s no centrifugal force. It’s a shame Scarlet and Violet are so lacking in that polish we all expect from Nintendo, but at least the reactions on social media are hilarious.
Below, we’ve put together a list of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet‘s best bugs and glitches. Be careful not to check these out while sipping coffee – no need to paint your monitor black accidentally.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
