Pokemon Scarlet and Violet finally reached the shelves after a long wait. This ninth-generation Pokemon game was supposed to be the doorway toward a new future for the franchise. However, it met with a lot of harsh criticism instead of praise.

Nintendo and Game Freak went for a complete open-world Pokemon game after the success of Legend Arceus. Undoubtedly, it sounded like a great plan, but Switch’s aging technology became a hurdle for the game. Scarlet and Violet were full of performance and texture issues.

These problems have ruined the experience for many Pokefans. Some can look past the performance and enjoy it. But not every Pokemon fan is the same, and a majority of them want a refund for the newly released glitchy Switch game.

Is Nintendo refunding for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Many Pokemon fans shared about getting a refund from the Japanese giants for the glitchy Scarlet and Violet. Usually, Nintendo is known to be stingy about refunds. But the scenario with Scarlet and Violet is a little different, as most fans are using the game’s poor performance and glitches to their advantage.

Moreover, fans even shared that the Nintendo representatives are not being stingy about these Pokemon games’ refunds. It seems the Japanese multinational company is aware of the state of the two games. So, they are accepting refund applications without being much strict about it.

But not every fan got a refund, as some have complained about not getting any. The YouTuber Spawn Wave recently talked about this in his latest video. He said it is just Nintendo being Nintendo, as they will refund some, but not all. He claimed, “This is just a practice Nintendo has done basically since the Switch launched.”

How are Nintendo fans reacting to the refund situation?

Nintendo fans are arguing about the refunding situation. Some fans are against the trend of many developers releasing games with issues and later releasing fixes. Meanwhile, some also shed light on how the refunding policies can differ based on the region. Let’s look at some reactions from the fans about the current situation.

But looking at what these two games could have done with strong hardware, maybe it’s finally time for the Japanese video game company Nintendo to release a successor for their Switch consoles.
