    Oh, neat.

    So can they patch it to be a functional game so I can buy it without feeling like a jackass?

  2. PrinnyWantsSardines

    Cool Patch. Now what about the shitty frame rate and the glitches

  3. Lightning-G

    Game Freak and the Pokémon Company’s credibility is in the toilet. They keep shipping decreasingly polished games, with promises for updates that take months to roll out. They refuse to increase or allocate work because they want to stay a small and focused development team, but ignore the mounting issues that arise from this. They claim to be keeping tabs on the community and listening to complaints, and yet announce a new staggered 35 dollar DLC for a game that released half-baked. The Pokémon Company is satisfied with all of these decisions because they keep making bank off of them.

    Unreal they haven’t addressed performance.

  5. Peri0dic1

    I haven’t played this game since day 1 what a joke of a game and company

  6. Almost half a year later, still no performance patch… They already secured the bag, in their place I wouldn’t care either tbh

  7. pelagic_seeker

    I still can’t believe they let people participate in the raids without the latest patch. Requiring the latest version of a game to use online and multiplayer features has only been the standard in the video game industry for over 30 years.

  8. Sotumney

    I’m not playing until I know for sure my save file is safe again

  9. LustfulMirage

    This fucking game man.

    Truly one of the games of all time.

    *Late April?*

    And knowing them, they won’t even fix the save corruption.

  11. Valiflam

    I’m out of the loop. What happened? People caught an egg instead of Iron Leaves/Walking Wake? As in, a bad egg?

  12. zachpowder

    Not even the slightest bit surprised they aren’t addressing performance. They can’t even do the bare minimum.

    Game freak are a terrible company end of discussion

  13. Derped_my_pants

    Sure, but can we catch them at 30fps?

  14. hex_maniac_bea

    this was the game that broke me

    so happy now, letting go of that almost 30 year attachments

  15. Upstairs_Hospital_94

    How about a performance patch and speed stuff up.

  16. MysteriousBebsi

    Absolutely insane they haven’t addressed the save corruption issue. I can’t keep defending you GF.

    Edit: obviously jokes I’m not defending them.

  17. yaboyfriendisadork

    Y’all are high on copium if you think the performance can be fixed via software patches

  18. real_horse_magic

    How about a patch to prevent the fans who made it through such a poorly optimized game from losing their save files? JFC Pokemon…

  19. wowtofunofu

    Honestly the game runs so bad I never finished it. I’ve been playing pokemon games since the red and blue days, the 3d pokemon games have been horrible. Gamefreak can make 1 type of game well, anything outside that top down turn based rpg is out of their realm of knowledge.

  20. i_heart_pizzaparties

    Gamefreak are so out of touch, jesus christ. Unfinished game, no Home support for like a year, no post game/battle factory, corrupt saves. Doesn’t matter if they’re still making mad bank I guess.

  21. QuinSanguine

    If that’s the only upcoming patch and if that’s all it does then GF is objectively a worse developer than both 343 with Halo and DICE with BF2042.

    How do you take such a slam dunk of a franchise, screw it up and then take months to fix hardly anything that the actual players care about the most?

  22. TheMimikyutie

    Can they at least fix pokemon spawning in walls, its really crazy this wasnt fixed…

  23. DragonShine

    What about save files? I downloaded the DLC and didn’t get a corrupt save file, have no idea if I am still in trouble though? And there’s many people out there who did get a corrupt save.

  24. How about making the game have a frame rate that doesn’t make me physically ill.

  25. MegaZardX2

    Really? This is what you’re addressing now, Game Freak? You’re REALLY trying to get me to quit Pokémon, aren’t you?

  26. Ucantknowit

    Yep, that’s exactly what this game needed, nothing else,

  27. Armandonerd

    Any update on the data corruption that’s going on?

  28. burritoman88

    Highest grossing media property in the world.

  29. ArianRequis

    Could the Pokemon Community just try and not support trash like once?

  30. TurkeyDinosaurs8

    And this is why I’ve dug the 2ds out and been playing through XY/ORAS/HGSS.

    GF wants maximum profit for minimum effort. There is no reason GF shouldn’t have the best team of game developers other than greed and incompetence.

  31. DimeadozenNerd

    Is this saying that there will be another raid event for Walking Wake and Iron Leaves for all players? Or is this exclusive to players with the egg bug?

  32. BlizlySusGuy21

    When will they announce a patch where people lose their fucking saved data

  33. FigurineLambda

    What about people who missed the raids but didn’t encounter the glitch? Will they be able to catch the paradoxes ?

  34. TomboyMJR

    What about the one that deletes players save files? Are….are we gonna patch that…?

  35. Hummer77x

    Why are you announcing a patch for a month and a half from now

  36. I put this game down after 6 hours because of how slow the game was and how tragic the performance was. Is there any hope this will make my 60 purchase any more fun

  37. ChocolateRoofie69

    Can they just increase the FPS instead? FFS

  38. Tanabatama

    As much as I like to buy the game in physical cartridge now, I am not confident to do so.

    At least until they fix the bug that can delete the game for no random reason.

    Remember the X and Y exploit that deleted your file? I want to avoid that one if possible.

  39. When will the patch that fixes the game into being good come
