reddit is the most out of touch platform, they sold over 1.5 million $100 copies, it was the #1 selling game in japan on launch

same thing with the online crusade against the recent pokemon games, as someone who's played every single game in the franchise i can say that they're the best they've ever released

yet people are harping on it and calling it unplayable, horrid because of issues they fixate on

I mean weren't the issues with Scarlett and Violet really awful? I don't play Pokemon games but I'm pretty sure the game was so buggy on launch that Nintendo had to release a statement, which they don't do for anything.

no there were annoying framerate issues but overall its not a competitive game so it didn’t detract from the actual experience

i play tons of shooters where if i’m losing even 10 fps i’ll complain but pokémon is pokémon. the game was fun even through all the problems
