The $450 Poké-Fix Fallout: Scarlet & Violet's Unbelievable Redemption (and Rage!)
What's got the Pokémon fandom buzzing, raging, and maybe a little bit teary-eyed?
Well, the impossible has finally been achieved: a stable frame rate for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet! But hold your Poké Balls, because while the games are now undeniably "playable", the internet is absolutely on fire with outrage! Why? Because this "fix" is effectively a "$450 patch"!
Let's be real, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, released in 2022, launched as a "broken and unfinished" mess, famously "held together by glue and strings" on the original Switch 1.
The community was raging, asking: Was this just Nintendo counting on fanatic Pokémon fans to overlook the glaring issues, knowing that the "Pokémon brand" is "too powerful" and "people are going to play this game no matter what"?
Many players stopped playing due to the many performance issues. Now, provided you've invested in a Switch 2, these problems are fixed. All good, right? Wrong...
Join us as we dive deep into the comments section, analyze the ongoing controversy, and ask the burning question: Is a "playable" Pokémon Scarlet and Violet worth the "$450 fix"?Let's get into this raging online conversation!
