I mostly am writing this to warn others that there seems to be a bug in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet associated with the DLC and Pokemon Go. If it was any other game I’m sure this would be a shock, but Scarlet and Violet are so poorly made that it shouldn’t really be surprising anymore. And before anyone blames quality control or testers remember this they probably ran into the many issues, but were ignored and developers decided fixing anything was too difficult and chose the lazy route instead. I find it hard to actually believe this game went through quality and no one caught anything.
Bugs aside no ones sure what is causing this the bigger problem is if pairing or the DLC is to blame or the games in general. I had high hopes that the DLC would, similar to sword and shield, be able to make the games better or more stable, however that doesn’t seem to be the case. It isn’t like Go has been an issue before, we could pair in the Let’s Go games and transfer pokemon. Most current Pokemon games have at least some integration with go seeing as almost all Pokemon are in Go and it can connect to home. While I also downloaded the newest patch I have yet to play it or send postcards so I don’t think the fault is the patch or it could be massive amounts of playtimes. I found that bugs in these games were more common the longer I played if I play an hour or two pretty stable maybe one or two animation bugs. Past three or so hours complete crashes, animation bugs literally everywhere, and who knows what else. Due to this I’m less effected because my playtime was interrupted so much I only have around 20-40 hours in game enough to beat the main plot but rarely grinded or shiny hunted and if my save gets wiped I’m not losing hundreds of hours and multiple shinies like others. In my honest opinion it is best to approach anything with the newest update with a level of caution.
