We have seen the Pokemon community voicing their concerns about the launch of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games. Most people have been complaining mostly about the performance. Some people even go as far as comparing The Last of Us for the PS3 and these two new games. Saying the former was released almost 9 years ago and had better performance in a less powerful console. However, even with all that, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet sales, at least in the UK, are skyrocketing. This is something that makes some players sad. Players claim that the sales will show GameFreak that despite launching flawed games, money will keep coming.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Sales in the UK show this is the second-biggest launch of the franchise
UK charts show that the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games are the second-biggest franchise launch. Right now, they are even higher than FIFA 23 and God of War: Ragnarok. This shows the powerhouse that Pokemon is. Which, in one way, is a bit sad. We all know that the game has a lot of technical issues; however, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet sales didn’t go down. Yes, some people are asking for refunds, but it’ll take a while for players to reach GameFreak or Nintendo with their concerns.

Some people are reporting that the Nintendo Customer Support team is taking note of everything. We don’t know if we’ll have a situation similar to Cyberpunk 2077 in the PlayStation store. A huge story where Sony removed the game until it got fixed. We are not sure Nintendo will go as far as removing the game from the store, but if they acknowledge what’s happening, then it’ll be a win. Yet, as always, all we can do is wait. Right now, you can purchase the game on the official store or at your favorite retailer. But if you’re not happy with how the game runs, you can try your luck and ask for a refund.
