Mcflasky’s briefPokemon Scarlet and Violetvideo shows the player standing near the brick wall behind the game’s academy, which looks out over a river with a strange-looking waterfall flowing into it. Clouds float by Mcflasky overhead as their shadows appear near thePokemontrainer in a somewhat pixilated manner, but the limited visuals become more apparent when nearby flowers cast their own shadow. Moving the camera around to see more buildings to the North of thePokemon Scarlet and Violettrainer, Mcflasky shows the bizarre landscape on the other side of the water that has an orange mountain turning gray on the other side of the waterfall before changing brown without any blending as it gets closer to thePokemontown.
ComparingPokemon Scarlet and Violetgraphicsto some found in PS1 games, Mcflasky stated the quality is noticeably poor in this part of the game but suggested that others parts of the game don’t suffer as much. In an effort to not discouragePokemonfans from gettingPokemon Scarlet and Violet, Mcflasky claimed that the games are still good despite any technical issues encountered shortly after launch. According to Mcflasky, they expectedPokemon Scarlet and Violetto look better than the trailers upon release, but after some gameplay, they anticipate that it’s even worse in action.
Although somePokemonfans were disheartened to see the poor graphics shown off by Mcflasky, one suggested entering and exiting the nearest building to fix a rumoredPokemon Scarlet and Violetmemory leak issue. As manyPokemonplayers are anticipating a patch to fix somebugs inPokemon Scarlet and Violet, others stated their opinions on the games being unfinished and untested.
