　　Now Playing: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Video Review

　　Numerous bugs and glitches have made the rounds since the new Pokemon games launched, with players reporting poor frame rates, crashes, poor draw distance, and numerous other glaring technical issues.

So far, the new mainline Pokemon games have sold over 10 million units worldwide in just that brief launch window, although some fans are looking for a refund.
