Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s bugs are the funniest part of the game

You might have already heard: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have a few bugs in them.

The issues vary from pop-in to clipping to frame rate issues. Pokémon clip through the ground. The games’ frame rates are so low that background character movements look like elementary flip-book animations. These examples are just a few of the many glitches that players have documented since the release of the game. Social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter are now flooded with viral posts showing the most absurd bugs. Regardless of how fans feel about the final product, almost everyone can agree on one thing: The glitches are fucking hilarious.

I’ve enjoyed watching and sharing the clips of bugs as much as I have enjoyed playing the game. Of course, there are genuine concerns over the playability of the games — my own game has crashed two times — but the glitches appear to be mostly visual, rather than game-breaking, making them easier to laugh at. Polygon has decided to round up the funniest glitches we’ve seen so far.

I’ve saved the best for last. Here’s my absolutely favorite one I’ve seen so far. The video shows a deformed kaiju Delibird in the distance of a snowy mountain — 10/10, I would battle it.
